ec stack and no-explode

waterbear · 10-05-2006, 09:23 AM

So I'm reading that taking NO-Explode (or any creatine product for that matter) in conjunction w/ EC stack decreases their effictiveness. How about the EC stack in the AM before morning cardio and NO- Explode in the afternoon/evening before lifting. Would that work?

You can do that, but you'll just slow your fat loss by not taking 3 doses a day of EC.. the EC provides you with energy for your workout as well.

In addition, ephedrine causes some water loss, so at least some of the water gains from creatine would just be lost when you took your EC dose again.

oh wow, so I'm cutting at the moment. Should I lose the NO for now? And I was only taking the EC stack in the AM. Is 3x a day a better idea?

Yep, you want to be on the EC stack 3x/day.. you won't really experience its effects at 1x/day. If you haven't already, you can read my EC dosing schedule - http://terracotta2.googlepages.com/ecstack

I'd wait until you are bulking to take the NO explode.
