I’ve stated before that I have a general dislike for EC so I’m curious if my bias is effecting my judgment.

I’ve started taking it 2-3 a day these last two weeks of my final dieting phase and I’m starting to think it’s really messing with my recovery. I’ve noticed my body has adapted to the stim feeling so I don’t feel the effects as much but it’s certainly showing up on my heart monitor watch.

I’m starting to think it’s really exhausting my body much more then I’m giving it credit for. Has anyone else noticed it having a dragging effect on your recovery?

Tough to say because typically you are in a calorie deficit while using it anyway.

I’ve been using it off and on for a while, the stimulation effect is gone but I do notice I sweat a shit load while working out on it. But as far as recovery I haven’t noticed anything.

Agreed, I guess it puts you in a greater deficit then you’d otherwise be in. I’m not taking that into effect enough. Probably putting me further in deficit by another 500+ calories.

I think it's just the cracked out feeling then going into a nose dive energy wise.

My regimen was

1 caffeine 1 bronkaid at 8, noon and 4.

By 8pm I was ready for bed and felt like I ran a marathon.

Pretty much. I’ve been using your write up.

Back in the 90s would buy it otc at the liquor stores for a dollar 50

package of two under the brand name mini thins

forgot or probably never even bothered to see the mgs

will say this though from my experience

that shit would totally wear me out after only one serving

keep me up all night the whole bit

take 5 days to a week to get back to normal

never could take it more than once or twice a week without feeling like a full blow crack addict

Used to pop Stacker 2’s in college. So we could party longer.

that reminded me of an ephedrine sports drink called speed stack

same deal that shit got you tweaked

i better stay off this thread

Before i wind up buying a bindle of speed & staying up all night jacking off
