Smart move bro, way to be mature about your decision making...
For the ephedra, I've always used the HotnFit.com method using bronkaid and caffeine tabs. It looks like this:
Note: 1E = 20 or 25 mg ephedrine
and .5E = 10 or 12.5 mg ephedrine
I am assuming caffeine tablets of 200 mg. So 1C = 200 mg, .5C = 100 mg
The caffeine tablets do not break in half well, approximate is fine.
A pill splitter works well on the ephedrine (can get at any pharmacy).
Day 1 - This day you would just take 1 dose to test whether you are hypersensitive to ephedrine (very rare). The dose will be .5E .5C
- symptoms of fast heart rate, and slight jitters are typical - like the feeling you get from having a lot of coffee.
Day 2-3 - You take 3 doses of .5 E .5C minimum 4 hours apart. I suggest keeping it so your last dose is at least 6 hours away from your bedtime.
Day 4-7 - Your dosing will be 1E 1C, .5E .5C, .5E .5C That is, you take full dose for your first dose only.
Day 8-14 - 1E 1C, 1E 1C, .5E .5C
Day 15 and onward - 1E 1C 3x/day
If you want to use a manpower product, which people rave about - go for it. Just follow the same sort of guidelines where you "warm" up to it (pun intended
)
