and during the week im off im substitute it with ECA.
aren't these two alternated every two weeks to avoid a drug tolerance--to keep things working effectively?
Pinz,
That Was a big misconception that MOST users of these compounds made a few years back but a few still do.
The theory behind it was after 2 weeks of clen you needed to give you beta 2 receptors a break. If you didnt the effects of the clen would quickly start tapering off. So During the time off in between clen people would take ephedra. Only problem is, ephedra works on the same exact beta 2 receptors that the clen works on. So during the week off in between clen when you are supposed to be trying to up regulate your receptors, you just bombarding them with ephedra.
Still to this day I read about people doing this and it makes no sense. You should use either Keto or Benydril at night and run the clen or ephedra for 4-5 weeks straight. The keto of benydril will keep your beta receptors clear for this amount of time.
i've read and heard of that. i've never done it so i couldn't say try it. Good point.I've run T3 for months at a time with no problems. The old advice to run it for 6 weeks at a time is really without any justification. Clen does lose effectiveness after about 2 weeks so it makes sense to go 2 on 2 off with that.

Just wanted to put my 2cc in...
I've done a couple cycles of T3 in the past, while I was on gear of course.
I've got to say..I don't react well to it in a couple of ways. Even on 500mg Test/400mg NPP, I was still losing muscle on T3 @ 100mcg ED. My strength dropped a LOT, about 20lbs on ALL of my lifts. I was on T3 and ECA for about 4 weeks. It took me about that much time to get my strength back to where it was before using T3.
My recommendation is to stay away from T3 if possible. ECA and Clen are both great, rotating them back and forth. ECA actually builds up over time and is more effective. I've run 2 weeks of Clen and then 4 weeks of ECA with pretty good results. The key to using any of these products is eating very clean and keeping your cardio up. They won't do much without doing so. T3 is easier because you are burning up more without doing anything, but I saw that it actually tended to make me hungrier, craving carbs actually, moreso than often.
If you do run T3, id run it at no more than 50mcg ED, with ECA alongside to help suppress your appetite.
