    Do they hit the same receptors? Could you alternate?
    For a contest prep regime I would stick with the clen and T3.
    As for alternating clen with ECA I don't think it's a good thing in terms of overstimilating the CNS, however many people do it.
    All stimulants lose their effectiveness if used for too long, you will feel more of an effect from them if you reserve their use for the time they are needed most.

    This is the basis for the idea of switching between the two - 2 weeks on clen / 2 weeks on eca, repeat.

    Functionally how would you feel being all amped up for 2 weeks w/ clen as your stim, and then nothing on the off 2 weeks? (Assuming you use the 2 weeks on / 2 off approach). Or would you recommend a non-ECA stim for the off 2 weeks? E.g. just coffee, or a CA instead of ECA, or some other non-E stim?

    i always run clen w/o a break ..increasing as i go about 8 weeks out. what is the most effective way to get the MOST out of a clen cycle?

    i prefer to NOT use t3 if i dont have to. i feel it flattens me out bigtime.

    It's strange...clen seems to work so differently for so many people. Some feel the most fat loss in two weeks then a mild stimulant effect. Others see continued fat loss with use going as far as 16 weeks.
    Once again it is down to individual trial and error.
