Ephedra

hey, i wasn't sure where to post this, but would taking ephedra be beneficial if i have an amateur muay thai fight coming up?

Might pump you up for the fight but remember it will increase your heart rate which you will already have due to nerves before the fight.
Be careful, Caffine may be the safer answer for you.

what are u taking it for? to lose weight or for energy? either way to make sure u dont have your heart jumping out of your chest just use a low dose. like 25mg or less

I've gotten bad locking calf cramps training bjj on epherine. I'm prone to them, but the ephedrine made them more likely and more intense. My technique seemed unaffected and my endurance was slightly higher.

Try sparring while on ephedra a few times to gauge your response and make a decision from there.

I take 25mgEph with200mg caff quite frequently. Many pro MT fighters who received them from me like them.

Jacob is right. Try using it while sparring first and see if it works out for u.

Ephedra plus fear plus anxiety is a bad bad trip.

Ephedra causes you to lose concentration, as per my experience with it.
