I have been taking EC (25 mg E (less I think because its bronkaid) , 200-300 mg caffeine) as a preworkout 3x a week. I am bulking right now.
I eat some extra food to compensate, appetite suppressant is no problem at all, I have a large appetite.
Is this a good or bad idea?
not an inherently bad idea. Don’t always want to rely on stimulants to get you through your workouts, though. Your adrenals need a break once in a while.
fyi I have no idea what I’m talking about I probably just read that somewhere and it sounds good.
Ox6, well, you’ve got your ephedrine to caffeine ratio right, but let me understand this, you’re just using this as a pre-workout stimulant?
Ephedrine won’t work well as a fat-loss supp if your carbs are high (insulin counteracts the fat burning effects of ephedrine), but I guess that’s a moot point because you say you’re on a bulking phase.

Of course.
I’m not delusional and trying to think I will burn fat and gain muscle. It just helps me hit PR’s and helps me get the most out of my workout.

really? i thought that it was yohimbine that needed insulin levels low…
i thought ephedrine increased metabolic rate, in general.
Pre workout sups all seem to suck… All about as good as a banana & cup of coffee
