#1 
Just joined T-Nation and was wondering what peoples views were on the E.C.Y stack?

I have read mixed reviews and wanted some opinions from the members of T-Nation!

Dosage wise, I am thinking 32mg Ephedrine HCL, 300mg Caffiene and 10mg Yohimbine HCL

Thanks

I’ve never heard of anyone using ephedrine and yohimbine at the same time. Sounds like a recipe for a panicked death.

I recently read an article on the ECY stack. I personally think its putting too many stimulants in one package. By removing the aspirin, you are also removing the catalyst in thinning the blood which I found a bit strange?!? I suppose an ECYA stack could have its pro’s and con’s…!?!

I have used it and liked it. I know Lyle McD has talked about it but doesn’t recommend it because, as some have already said, it could really get your heart going nuts. I tried it though with no problems, however, I did not use as big of a dose with the ephedrine or the caffeine.

What sort of dosage did you use?

#7

25mg of ephedrine sulfate which from what I have read is about equivelant to 18-20 mg of ephedrine hcl, 200mg of caffeine and start low (5mg) with yohimbine and increase as tolerated. When I first started 5 mg of yohimbine made me feel sick but I have been able to work my way up.

#8

An EC stack should be sufficient. About 20mg of ephedrine and 200mg caffeine per serving. I tried an ECY stack before and my heart rate went through the roof even just from several minutes of cardio (warming up). I went home straight away after that.

#9

I would think that you would replace the caffeine with the yohimbine.

#10

I’ve been doing it and I’m fine.
