Awesome energy, upside of the EC stack I started today. I'm running it with 16 mg Ephedrine/ 200 mg Caffeine twice a day, not as much as seems to be standard, but it should still help me.

I am not joking when it seemed like I had limitless energy. I could feel the pump better also. I've scheduled a fitness consultation before I leave my gym on tuesday next week, so I'll know bodyfat % etc then.

Got some ephedrine & caffeine to help with the cut, and my mom stocked me up on protein . Also got some slow-release stuff (for before bed), some creatine, and some BCAAs w/Glutamine for when I finish my cut and delve deeper into pure strength training. But for now, EC stack away!

My 2nd bad deadlift workout in a row My fault though, I didn't eat on my diet, and after standing around for hours on end at work arrived only to find what energy I had to burn up quickly. Saturday may be my last one of October, I can't let this be repeated.
