At your BF% i wouldn't worry about either IMO.

Once you get to a decent BF%(10-12%), then i would worry about using ECA just to get the most benefit out of it.

You have 6 months, i would use the ECA the final 2 months.

I wouldn't touch Clen personally...

if your sensitive to simulants id say clen, but eca is more potent a fat burner and its legal as well; so eca is the better choice but alot of people cant handle the stimulant effects of it

How is eca legal if ephedrine is illegal? ECA isnt reealy ECA w/o ephedrine.
thinking about buying vasopro, got my bronkaid and it didnt do sh*t. is vasapro from max pro still availible?

How much were you taking? Each pill contains 25 mlg of Ephedrine Hydrochloride.

i havent taken ephedrine in a while, i ran out. but i got my bronkaid last night and took two pills this morning = 50 mgs and dont feel a thing. was thinking about trashing them (all three boxes, 120 pills) and buying vasopro instead if its still availible. why doesnt the bronk work??

bronkaid is as real as it comes dude. vasop pro wont do anything that bronkaid doesnt.   bronkaid is made by PFIZER !!!

some people dont get the stimulant effects from ehpedrine. i dont. i can take 100mg of ANY kind of ephedrine and i dont get any jitters or any thing.

just different effects for diffferent people.

but if you want to shell out the extra cash for vasop pro, yeah its still available at most max muscles

I think ECA was instrumental in getting me down from 365 (well, that and removing carbs from diet), I definitely felt temp go up when doing 3x a day. Was just curious if clen was better. Currently stacking 1 baby asp, 1 no-doz and 1 bronk.

try adding more aspirin and throw in some egcg and maybe some yohimbine.. all that works together with synergy


as for clen... its not as POTENT a fat burner, because its beta-2 specific, where ephedrine is a shotgun blast at all three beta ...  BUT..clen DOES have a 36 hour half life, so its workig on you all day and all night hwile you sleep as wel. which helps.

I hear you cand, but previously when i took ephedrine it would get me "up". i figured the break i took would only enhance the effect. im very familiar with ephedrine products and the bronk for whatever reason didnt take. i honestly got more awake from the two 20 oz. diet dews i drank. thanks for the help, much appreciated.

I drink 4 of those a day.. today after the bronkaid, i had the (2) 20oz diet dews and a 20oz of diet pepsi max. diet dews are the sh*t. way better than coffee for me.

Maybe thats why you're not feeling a kick from the bronkaid. Might be time to back off on the recreational use of stims and tailor them strictly for fat loss.

Forgot that part! Diet is less than 20g carbs per day, avg 2500 cals. Only slight carb load is 30 mins pre-workout three days per week. Keeps me in ketosis pretty well. Usually something high on the GI chart (Baked Potato, Rice, White Bread, etc)

I should be down a lot more, but I've slacked. It's time to really kick myself in the ass and stick to it 100%. Besides, my boss bet me $1,000 I wouldn't get down to 200 by Jan 1st. How's that for motivation?

L-Tyrosine and L-Carnitine with this stack.

L-Carnitine is a must with Yohimbine.

Will do. Looks like the Animal Cuts product has a slew of different fat burning supples including the ones you mention. I think I'm just gonna grab that and some DHA/EHA. We'll see what happens.

no, it definitely isn't, all it does it suppress your appetite and speed up your metabolism a little bit

  bronkaid is made by PFIZER !!!

no, it's made my bayer

it depends on how you define "potent"

clen has a long half life and burns fat around the clock.  eca does not

i've used both and clen worked much better

yes, and i addressed that already.   but on  a "minute to minute" scale, which one helps burn fat at a quicker rate? ephedrine, no doubt. and it does so through more than just the one pathway, through several. and it takes less time to "accumulate" to ephedrine that it does to clen.

2 questions...

i see that the bronkaid contains ephedrine sulfate not ephedrine hcl.  is the hcl form better for fat burning or is it pretty much the same?

why add the asprin to the mix?  i have read it wasnt really necassary.

  Good question. It's been asked before.  I don't think I've seen anything scientific regarding one over the other.

It's not necessary for fat burning purposes according to studies I've seen.

are you going on anecdotal evidence that you hear from anonymous people online, or is there any evidence?

ok thats what i thought.

i have done the combo with and without the asprin and never noticed any difference.

I've heard and read that efedrin sulfate is much more toxic and impure than efedrin hcl. I'm not sure whether this is true or not, but i have used both and i think that hcl is much better or at least much more potent. Low carbs, cardio and eca will melt the the fat or if it doesnt something is really wrong with you...
