EC Stack

[The Entity]

This will be my final update for a while, because I won't have much more to say than "it works" every week.

Finished my 3rd week. Once again, I increased my calories again this week by another 200 per day and I still am continuing to lose weight. But the kicker is, I have noticeably gained some muscle as well (it needs to be reiterated that I am not very big, so it still could technically be noob gains even though I'm looking how I want to)

I am assuming that the EC stack is allowing my fat stores to be used as energy in spots where my daily food consumption would have been getting used instead. So at the end of the day, despite still being on a calorie defecit for eating, my body still has some calories left over to use for muscle production. Granted, my muscle gain/fat loss are slower when done together than they would be had I been doing a bulk/cut cycle instead, but considering I have only been doing this 3 weeks I would say that my goal of gaining incredibly lean weight is paying off.

I can even see an 8 pack when flexing at certain times of the day depending on recent food consumption/hydration levels. The fat loss has also helped my pecs gain definition, which is good since I have a very small chest I need as much fat loss in my upper body as possible to not look like a weirdo

I am going to finish up this box of Bronkaid and buy 1 more and finish that one (so I probably have 4-5 more weeks on the stack). All I can say in summary is that the EC stack is a plateau destroyer and should be used by anyone who is not on a huge bulk or at risk for stressing out their heart too much. I have been careful in my timing of taking the stack when I do high intensity cardio, I try either not to take it within 4 hours of the cardio session, or rather I wear a heart rate monitor to make sure I don't stay above 180 BPM for too long.

Chilllll 5...your updates are very useful. How long have you been lifting?

Chilllll 5...your updates are very useful. How long have you been lifting?

I haven't been lifting long. Here is my timeline:

My whole life up until a year ago: never lifted really, stayed active with sports only. Did lift hard for a 6 month period once but was dieting. I have literally NEVER lifted weights while on a calorie surplus, I just really prefer being thin

A year ago: 190 LBS and way out of shape, 30 lbs overweight for my body type

Augusy-February: calorie restriction, disc golf for my only exercise

February-April: bodyweight exercises for 10 minutes hard, 3 days per week. Running for 20 minutes per day later on that same 3 days

May-Now: 30 minutes lifting 3 times per week, I am on limited equipment at my apartment gym so I do machine chest presses, machine rows, lat pulldowns, dumbell shoulder presses, and dumbell squats but they only have 40 lb dumbells. I do 3 sets each, then do 2 ab exercises to failure. I do a LOT of cardio because I like it. I do anywhere from 5-8 cardio sessions per week, sometimes it is just a light 3 mile walk around town, sometimes it is an hour long incline walk on the treadmill wearing a heart rate monitor to stay in the zone, sometimes it is 20 minutes of HIIT, sometimes a 3 mile run. Whatever I am in the mood for, I use it as an excuse to listen to music and lose myself in that.

So I guess that is my long answer. The short answer would have been "I have been lifting for 4 months on a calorie defecit the whole time, and never lifted for more than 6 months the rest of my 30 year old life total"

Here is a shytty picture I just took....I just woke up so I am completely cold and with low hydration:

I never had any problema with sweating. You are only doing 200mg caffeine and 20 mg ephedrine every 4 hours, right? I wouldn't do more than that unless you hate your heart
