ephedrine as a pre-workout supp.?

[spikedcow]

I currently pre-workout drink a protein shake and take Kre-Alkalyn. I'm thinking about throwing ephedrine into the mix to add an energy boost to my workouts. Is this a good idea? (I'm a noob so thanks for the input!)

It will help give you that extra boost if ya need it, but for me it's a couple cups of coffee

yes its good idea, start low.. 8-16mg, 1hr before workout

dont take them on leg days or you may get intense headaches

I accidently took 2 Thermogenis before working out instead of one. 800mg Caffeine and 750mg Ephedra, I thought i was going to die, haha.

Just remember that Ephedrine can act as an appetite suppressant, I know that was something you have been having issues with so i thought I would mention it. I personally love ephedrine preworkout!

Thank you! No ephedrine for me for a while then. Atleast until my appetite picks up

Caffeine and ephedrine are both vasoconstrictors. Just make sure you have some food in your system and a goal in mind. That should be all you need.

I wouldn't do it if you train much later then 7 pm. It will keep you awake till 2-3 am.

Earlier in the day is ok.

My sleep is now disturbed by any excessive caffeine. I fall asleep at 12 or 1 am but wake up at 5 and can't go back to sleep.

^Melatonin works wonders for that

That would explain a lot for me. I will have to look in that more. Got any links to research?
