EC Stack (twice per day 200 mg caffeine, 16 mg ephedrine)

About Me!
I am 25 years old, 5'4, and I have an ectomorph bodytype. I have been weightlifting seriously since the beginning of 2005, and managed to put on some nice curves.

I have been taking Green Mag regularly, and love it. This is my first time with an EAA/BCAA supplement, and my first time trying Beta Alanine.

I do my workouts late afternoon or in the evening.

Goals
My current goal is to lose 10 lbs of fat and put on 5 lbs of muscle. Ie. I want to recomp. I am doing this by dieting at a small caloric deficit and adding in cardio + EC. I have already lost approximately 0.5 inches in the past 3 weeks, and I hope for Purple Wraath and White Flood to make my cut faster, more enjoyable, and to help with strength/muscle increases!

Workout 2
Purple Wraath

Nutrition/supp timing
60 min preworkout, 6 oz salmon, 100 g potato
30 min preworkout, 0.5 scoops purple wraath (300 ml water)

During workout, 1 scoop purple wraath (600 ml water)

Workout
25 min cardio, recumbent bike + incline treadmill
~200 cals burnt


Thoughts
Energy: good, especially considering it was so late.

Endurance: a bit better than normal.. felt less out of breath than normal too!

Taste: It still reminds me of grape chewable vitamin C.. but that is not bad! A bit "different" tasting, but definitely tolerable and a pretty close match for candy.

Still no tingles. The most noticeable thing was being less out of breath than normal (I have asthma, so this is nice).

[DriverDan]

I find it interesting that you're not getting the BA tingles, especially with a scoop of each. I guess it just effects everyone differently.

[SexyBack]

great workouts Terra!
i feel the same way, less out of breath! It's great!

[terracotta]

Yeah, no idea about the tingles. I took ibuprofen before that workout because I was having some pretty icky pain in my delts after carrying a box of stuff for 10 min. Does that interfere with the BA?

That strange delay with .5 scoop then half an hour later my workout was because I starting drinking it on the way to cardio, and when I got there, the room was full.. so I put it in the fridge, and went back after 30 min.

I have a lot of DOMS today. :eek:

[cervasa1977]

I find it interesting that you're not getting the BA tingles, especially with a scoop of each. I guess it just effects everyone differently.

its all different based upon the person themselves. Some people are sensitive to BA and get the tingles others may never get them........

[terracotta]

This DOMS is really bad.. clearly I pushed myself more than usual yesterday. It just felt like I was pushing myself the same.

[SexyBack]

Nutrition/supp timing
60 min preworkout, 70 g chicken breast, 1/2 cup brown rice, green mag
30 min preworkout, 1 scoop white flood(500 ml water + 1 tsp equiv. sweetener), finished in 20 min

Workout

Thoughts
Energy: good.

Taste: Had the white flood and purple wraath separately. White flood reminds me of Lemon Neo Citron.. pleasant. I much prefer the two separately over combined.

Still no tingles - will not mention again unless I do get tingles.
Drank the white flood too quickly, got waterlogged.. messed with workout somewhat. I'm going to cut the water amounts to 250 ml next time.

[terracotta]

Thanks SB and Beejis :)

yeah.. I have a lot of supps. Sitting pretty with 30# of whey too :eek:

good call! that's one of the things that used to urk me when I went to a gym, people that were sick, how do you know they clean of the machines well, and their germs are floating all over the gym, not cool.

rest up and get better! Hopefully you have nice weather out there this weekend like we do. get better soon!

That's why I wash my hands about four to six times while I'm at the gym and I wash my hand immediately when I get home.

[terracotta]

Its nice having the equipment in my apt. I don't have cardio machines in here, that's all.

Workout 4
Purple Wraath and White Flood

Nutrition/supp timing
2 hours preworkout, coffee, 16 mg ephedrine
90 min preworkout, 1/2 a Dr. Oetker's pizza, banana, green mag
60 min preworkout, 1.5 scoop white flood(12 oz water), finished in 30 min

During workout, 1 scoop purple wraath (10 oz water)

Workout
Shoulder Press 50# 4,4,4
DB upright rows 20x2# 4,4,5
Underhand bb row to belly 50# 8,8,8
DB front raises 9x2# 6,6,6


Thoughts
Energy: All the stims I took got me from an annoying low energy sick feeling to a normal feeling.

Endurance: N/A since I am sick

Taste: Ok, I really really liked the taste of both the PW and WF with less water! The PW NOW tastes like CANDY!!

So, I've found a good proportion for the water, and I will definitely be able to handle the 2 scoops of white flood. Had a short workout so as not to overdo it while sick.

[Beejis60]

:) Right now, mine are taking up an entire cabinet in my kitchen + part of another, half of a closet and the entire top of a dresser, stacked at least 2 bottles high... :o

Well that's because you're the man!

I noticed that my dose of EC nicely cures my stuffy runny nose and unlike dayquil it doesn't give me that thirsty dry throat feeling.

Workout 5
Purple Wraath and White Flood

Nutrition/supp timing
2 hours preworkout, steak fajita
1 hour preworkout green mag; 1 scoop white flood (10 oz water)

During workout, 1.5 scoops purple wraath (14 oz water)

Workout
Squats 65# 7,7,5
Stationary Lunges 45# 8,8,8


Thoughts
Energy: Was really good considering the lack of caffeine and the time (8:30 pm, 2 hours after food). I was surprised I could lift the same despite the break.

Endurance: Cut the workout short due to lack of endurance BUT I blame this on being tired/decaffeinated (1 scoop wf is very mild for me as I am stim tolerant). Generally I do not have enough energy to work out this late on such little caffeine. I REALLY think the Purple Wraath helped here.

Felt great to lift again.. energy had been low all day today and yesterday due to the lack of exercise (combo of being sick and having an exam yesterday morning).

[Beejis60]

2 hours preworkout, steak fajita

MMMM, it's breakfast time soon so I should quit reading logs :mad:

I'm loving these supps!!

I do still have a slight cold, and this is why I haven't been doing cardio.

yay, tingles!!

[Mango]

Nice, nice!! That is strange about the wraath giving you that feeling?! Are you feeling fine?? No dizzyness or jitters?? I like jitters. It kinda feels like you're drunk, but you're lifting heavy weights!! How intelligent!!

Nice, nice!! That is strange about the wraath giving you that feeling?! Are you feeling fine?? No dizzyness or jitters?? I like jitters. It kinda feels like you're drunk, but you're lifting heavy weights!! How intelligent!!

Beta-alanine causes parathesia - basically, the pain nerves under your skin fire.. in some people it feels like tingling, and in some people it feels like itching. But it got nicknamed the "beta-alanine tingles". :cool:

There are no stimulants in the purple wraath, so no jitters or anything.

[terracotta]

uh.. wiki defines it better


paraesthesia (in British English) is a sensation of tingling, pricking, or numbness of a person's skin with no apparent long-term physical effect, more generally known as the feeling of pins and needles or of a limb being "asleep".

[DriverDan]

I think you caught my tingles. I no longer get them and now you do. Strange how that works.

Likewise, I haven't had tingles in a long while. But a majority of the tingles did feel itchy when I had em.

[pu12en12g]

I like jitters. It kinda feels like you're drunk, but you're lifting heavy weights!! How intelligent!!

I personally have not noticed any effect from either EAA or beta-alanine or citrulline malate products on next day soreness, though this is often touted as a benefit of all 3...I have found a combination of carbs (from glutamine or maltodextrin mainly) + protein seems to work best on me, for whatever reason...

:confused: Crazy canadians and their weird foods, eh?

Side note: Do you know how Canada got its name? The US gathered all the canadians into one room and decided to put all the letters of the alphabet into a hat and pull out letters randomly. The first letter was a C and the crowd said, "C, eh?" Then the next letter was an N and the crowd said, "N, eh?" And the last letter was a D and the crowd said, "D, eh?" And that's how Canada got its name :D

I will be upping the weight on the CG bench next time.

They are fixing my central air and it is off until monday (in the meantime it is 30 degrees Celcius.. ick). Really broke a sweat in this heat.

[ab-swing asianbabe]

hey no more flood terra?

hey no more flood terra?

Funny thing is I'm drinking some right now LOL.

Since it was 30 degrees, and there is no central air, I was trying to keep my stims a bit lower than usual. This means I've been off EC since it has been hot as well.

As promised.. low carb peanut butter fudge bars!!

Mix thoroughly in large bowl:
8 scoops butter toffee dymatize whey (or other vanilla type flavor)
1/2 cup peanut butter
2/3 of a cup ground flax seed

Add in 1/4 cup of water. Mix thoroughly again. Add in another 1/4 cup of water, mix again.

IF the mix has not blended all of the whey in, you may add additional water 1 tbsp at a time.

Get a 9x9 pan and line with wax paper. Drop mix into pan. Get another sheet of wax paper to place on top, and push mix down into the corners evenly. Place in fridge until firm, and then cut into 8 bars. Wrap separately and store in fridge or freezer.

Enjoy!!

You may want to do the translation for most of the US users that may be reading your log. I understand the concept of celsius quite well, but I think most people might think that 30 degrees is quite cold (Farenheit scale).

Well they are supposed to be TWO arm but I can't get the dbs up like that, so I do 1 at a time. Anyways, a db floor press is the same as a db bench press but you do it on the floor (this restricts your range of motion, and you lift more weight).

Final Review
Purple Wraath

Purple Wraath was the first EAA and the first beta alanine supplement I have used.

When taking purple wraath for weightlifting, I did not feel as much burning at higher reps, and I was no longer fatigued post workout. That is a big thing for me, I've always been very fatigued postworkout, and it is one of the factors in me working out in the evenings. Your endurance feels great, but this is more noticeable during cardio (as my lifting routines run about 40 minutes). I was able to do cardio post workout, and STILL not be fatigued after, where as before I was always too tired for cardio post workout.

When taking purple wraath for cardio, I no longer got out of breath (I have asthma), AND my endurance was great. Also less burning in the quads when doing the recumbent bike.

It took me a few days to get used to the taste, but now I crave the purple wraath candy taste.. it's awesome!

nice review!!!
