I looked over the ECA stack sticky on here, what are the thoughts of taking the EC prior to work out along with a pre work out drink? That going to be too much stimulant? My pre workout has stims in it, but i never feel jittery from it at all. Ive used the ECA stack years ago but i wasnt working out then.

Id be careful of the amount of caffiene you would be taking. It depends on how much (if any) your pre workout has in it. But over doing it will have your heart pounding out of your chest

I would definitely not do ec and a pre. Ephedrine and a pre is doable.

Just don't ever do 3 scoops. You don't even wanna know what happens at 3 scoops.

The most i do is 1.5 scoops LOL, 2 at the absolute most. I made the mistake the first couple times i got the brand i have now of taking it on an empty stomach, had my damn teeth hurting half way through working out!!
So now i have at least a bowl of oats or something about 30 mins prior to taking it and have had no further issues.

I've tried timing my EC so that it was my pre-workout and even that was too much for me (felt like I was running laps in between sets) I can't imagine using that and something else.

You can do the usual eca during the day but then just take your pre work out with ephedrine before you hit the gym with out the caffeine pill because you’ll already be getting it from the pw. Make sense?

this is how I do it when I’m using EC. No need for the caffeine pill - just take the ephedrine with the preworkout.

Why you feel you need any
type of pre workout after getting away from it I actually feel way better in the gym no ups and downs etc

It took me awhile to get to this point but I whole-heartedly agree.

To be honest i bought it for the fat burning properties it has with it, not that i notice that its really doing anything along those lines that just being in the gym and diet doesnt accomplish, but i spent the money on 2 containers of it so ill at least get my money out of them. It does have a bit of a boost as far as energy but nothing that is so noticeable that you cant do with out it.
Once this second bottle is finished ill probably just use the ECA as a preworkout and forgo the drinks completely.

General consensus around here is to skip the A. Just use EC.

Yeah, i planned on skipping the aspirin, just used to adding the A in the ECA.
I never was a huge fan of the A in that stack to begin with, i get its purpose in it, but the idea of taking it 3 times a day just never sat well with me.

I have never used a pre workout drug, drinks or anything...I feel bad for folks that need them....sometimes I believe they are used as a crutch
