#Best eca stack manual
This involved reading many threads in bodybuilding fora, but also reading Will Brink's manual on fat burners and other references, until I was certain that EC(A) (the preferred method) is a safe way to go. I'm new to BB-ing and because of a stall in weight loss I've researched the possibilities to increase metabolism. Shpongled, you are the man of my heart (j/k) I am 1/2 way through a cycle of Stacker 2 right now! However I am ending this now! There is a good chance of someone dying because of my recomendations of ECA's, SO I am going off it and no longer recomending it! I used ECA's for months at a time, I am fine! But maybe not! Yet do not let my guilt of past recomendations of the ECA's convince you. The problem is that even though I feel no side effects while on the ECA's I know it is a matter of time before I pop a blood vessel in my brain. Yet I do have more muscle when I do it without the ECA. If I eliminate the ECA's it takes me almost 12 weeks to tighten up. I have came from my offseason into contest prep so many times that I just started using the ECA's for time reasons. That being said, I have never been let down losing fat and getting ripped without them either. I never had been let down in my quest for fat loss while using them. I have used several different kinds of ECA's over the years. But let's try to keep discussions on this forum rational. I know I'm talking about myself, the bottom 4 points describe my actions in many cases.Įveryone wants a scapegoat, and they don't want to do the necessary hard work. But I think it's 99.999% safe when you follow the directions on the label.Īnd if you think by "people," I'm talking about everyone but you, I could very well be talking about you.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a perfectly safe substance. Every single one says, "This person who took ephedrine had this problem." That doesn't mean jack **** compared to the controlled studies I describe. In this same vein are tons of media reports. It is perfectly safe taken within the limits. And you know what? Multiple controlled studies show no difference in the amount of these conditions in the normal population versus people who use ephedrine. It tells you that you shouldn't take it with certain medical conditions, and the dosage parameters. Heart attacks, palpitations, convulsions. A pill is not a substitute - you have to be willing to put the work in. The reason these supps don't work for many? Because they don't do it in combination with a calorie deficit. If a fat burner is completely comfortable, it's probably not doing anything. You can't expect to lose fat rapidly without side effects! It's physically impossible. If there's some mild side effects, so be it. But ephedrine and caffeine are bar none the best legal fat burners, as evidenced by literally hundreds of studies and double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. You hear many people complain that these products don't work. But don't take my word for it do some research! ECA has many fat burning effects when taken the way I've described. So they think that if they're not speeding it's not working. Most people think the only function of the ECA is to increase heart rate.

So why, you ask, don't people KNOW about tolerance? Because they're taking something that they know nothing about. All the research has been done on long, consistent use - not popping 4 pills and expecting to lose 10 pounds. Tolerance to the CNS effects build rather rapidly, but many of the fat burning effects remain. This will cause anyone to become jittery. But for immediate satisfaction people will start out with too high of a dose. I barely know it's there, and I'm very sensitive to stimulants. Then, at the end of the cycle, I do the reverse. I do 4 days on 1 pill, 4 days on 2, 4 days on 3, and the rest on 4. Why? Because there's this thing called tolerance. For many cycles, I have used the ECA stack without any side effects, and without even knowing it's there for the most part. "Take half of the dosage for the first week to access your tolerance level." So naturally they take 4 pills at once, and when they feel all messed up, they blame it on the pills. Here they are, and I'll use Xenadrine as the example. Jitteriness, nausea, excessive sweating, rapid pulse.Īlthough there is sound science behind it, there are some major flaws that prevent the ECA stack from being a good supplement.

I am constantly hearing complaints of side effects associated with the ECA stack. I haven't started a new thread in a while, so I figured I'd do one on misconceptions that really irritate me. I figured the all caps would get the newbies to read this.
