EC Stack Question

[r3ver3nd]

Im comin up on the 5th week of my EC stack. I've heard both ends of the spectrum,
"You should cycle it."
"You should keep running it until your down enough"


So, which is it.
Cycle?
Keep goin?

I've lost about 20 lbs. I do cardio in the mournings, probobly 4 times a week. (just walking)

Im about half way to where I set my goal, my stats are below. Please, tell me what you think?

Here's a great article on EC.

And here's an exerpt from another article by the same guy (Bryan Haycock)

E/C was never intended to be cycled. Clen was never intended to be used chronically, but instead only as needed.

People often confuse E/C with Clen because they both involve the beta-2 receptors. Clen is a potent specific agonist to the receptor and causes rapid downregulation of the receptor. E/C is NOT a specific agonist, but instead works in a round about way to increase circulating norepinephrine and epinephrine. The caffeine is also an adenosine inhibitor.

It has been demonstrated that E/C actually get more effective over time. This has been attributed to an increase in thyroid receptors.

E/C is notorius for rebound "hunger" though, so taper off over a long period of time, starting first with the caffeine, then the ephedrine.

^^^ Good read, thanks bud!

Also, whats the longest I should run it? Is there a limit?

Well, taking large amounts of caffeine for too long can give some bad sides. I stop when I get shaky and stuff.

rebound hunger is no joke, I just finished 6 weeks of EC. I lost 11 pounds, but as soon as I went off the EC, I caught myself eating a ton more food than I had been the 6 weeks on the EC.
