ECA stack while doing HIIT cardio

[cardiodan]

Is this safe? I dont want to die of overexertion or pain on the field.
What do you guys say.

[skelooth]

uhhh, if it 'hurts' then it's prolly not a good idea.

Otherwise, go for it That's what EC is good for

[oddjob21]

yup prolly safe

I would take E+C and then go do HIIT an hour later. Quite the workout, LOL.

Do not listen to ANY of the above statements. ECA alone is risky. Adding HIIT will result in what you hear on the news or read in the newspaper about Ephedra leading to death. I have first hand experience with ECA, and it didn't react well with me. Some people can handle it, and some cannot. HIIT is extremely taxing on the CNS on your heart, two thing already being worn out by an ECA. DO NOT DO HIIT WHILE ON ECA! (let alone an hour after taking an ECA!!!!)

Disregard...It's fine assuming you're healthy..You can drop the aspirin though, just use EC or try yohimbine as well. The stuff you hears on the news were uneducated people who took ephedra along with labels not containing the exact amount of ephedrine..but it's fine unless you have heart problems..

Noob queston.. whats EC?
Ephedrine and ?

[irx]

well, i'd say a BIG NO.

i took ECY before HIIT swimming & biking before - slipped my mind. and for these occasons, ALL OF THEM SUCKED

my heart almost blew on me post HIIT.

DO NOT take EC with A or Y anything before HIIT! try to keep a 4 hour lapse before doing HIIT, if you must take EC.

otherwise, stick to slow cardio.

Caffeine.

And I do HIIT on EC all the time. Pop a cap, eat brekkie, go work out 2 hours later. I fly through the training. Off EC I do 350 cals in 20 mins (2 weeks ago), on EC I do 444 cals in 20 mins (yesterday) with the same perceived effort (9/10 on an uncomfortable scale ).

Yes, I wold have gotten into better shape in those 2 weeks, but not by that much, so the EC is a critical factor. 4 days after the 350 I could do 430 in the same time with the same effort.

There's a reason E is banned by the IOC, and it isn't because people were dropping dead left and right. It's because it WILL give you more stamina and make you able to go for longer faster.

i wonder where you got your ECY, i can't find any here (singapore) hehe.
had to get mine overseas.
but when i was on it, i did hiit with no problem.. i don't see any problems, really. just don't do hiit when you're sick , esp when you have flu. and basically, yes the people who have died using ECY/ ECA before cardio were doofs who didn't know what they were doing, or had heart problems.

if you ARE that worried, then just go with caffiene. it works as well. or just try green tea.

I took E+C 1 hr. before HIIT for 4 weeks with excellent results, however, I was already doing HIIT pretty well for about 5 or 6 months.

[Tiggis]

Have for a month.. and for years before that.

Check with your doctor as allways.. but unless you have a physical problem it should be cool..

READ THE LABEL! FOLLOW THE LABEL! IF IT HAS NO LABEL THROW THAT **** AWAY!

ECA products were fine. They were removed from market to stop Meth labs, not because of danger.

That being said. ..

Listen to your body, check with your MD. We can all give you opinons.

I take it fine and love the workouts.. some people may not..

As I said.. talk to a doctor, get a physical, and then do what works for you.
