Clenbuterol

Clenbuterol, used and abused.


Clenbuterol as a fat burner. For those of us who don't like stimulants or who want to just get the job effin done without causing too much of a fuss. Many of the homies our there don't like the stimulation or come down given from Ephedrine, or how often you may need to take it throughout the day. Many of the homies also don't enjoy muscle loss or bulging eyes that can come from T3's.

This fish has clearly been abusing the T3's.

Clenbuterol made it's way into my life sometime when I was 18, I didn't enjoy it. After hearing wonder stories of people losing mountains of weight whilst not even changing their diets, I was keen to get on it! I got a heap load of shakes, irritable headaches and neck cramps, and all that for ending up 2lb heavier after 4 weeks of use. Thank you clenbuterol! When I was 19 I used it twice, now at the tender age of 20 in my recent cut, I think I finally cracked it.

But first for the beautiful readers we'll go into what Clenbuterol is and what it's all about :] Enjoy.


Clenbuterol is a drug made for asthmatics that we fitness folk decide to use for a...well a less medical purpose, unless you have a debilitating disease from being a fat ass where I guess clenbuterol is your medicine. Clenbuterol hits the beta receptors, but not in the same way Ephedrine does. Ephedrine hits them on a much broader scale, whereas Clenbuterol hits the Beta-2 receptors selectively. According to steroid.com, this means it has the ability to reduce certain kinds of airway obstruction without much in the way of cardiovascular effect. This means it makes it easier to breath and why it is an asthmatics medication.


Clenbuterol raises the bodies core temperature by stimulating heat production in the mitochondria, this increases your metabolic rate and apparently decreases the appetite. From a personal stand point, I've never noticed appetite suppression whilst on clen but then again I only have ever used clen while cutting where we're obviously forced to eat less food =[ However temperature increases is very, very noticeable. It's also great for vascularity, since clenbuterol increases the heart rate fairly dramatically you'll get some pretty sweet blood pressure, enjoy being nice and veiny for a day.

As well as clenbuterol increasing the bodies temperature it also dilates the bronchioles. May I say it does this job very finely, much better than other bronchiole dilators I've used including Ephedrine and Geranium (1,3 dimethylamylamine). The obvious advantage for this is cardio, I mean clenbuterol should seriously not be overlooked as a performance enhancer. Yeah you can feel gassed out pretty quick with the increased heart rate, but should one take a seat back and continue with long, full, deep breaths, then I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Certainly any endurance based athlete would feel the benefits of clenbuterol, so although I'm not advocating it I'm just gonna say marathon runners will probably love this drug.

As you can see, Clenbuterol raises the bodies core temperature, side effects can be excess sweating.
As you can see though, Clenbuterol is very effective for weight loss. Gollum is ripped.

So for Fat Loss...


As I've mentioned it's under-estimated. It doesn't help that people fuck up their own cycles and wonder why they get nothing out of it thereafter. Common mistakes with clenbuterol include the ever famous "1 day on, 1 day off" principle. It just won't happen, I mean regardless of half lifes this drug isn't a miracle, it won't absolutely strip you of all your fat as it is let alone taking it for half the time or taking it at half strength for the full cycle.

The next one is 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, as pointed out by steroid.com (which I need to enforce, has a much better clenbuterol article than I do with references. My article is all from my own viewpoints and experiences). It briefly explains that although the most dramatic results of fat loss from clen are within the first 2 weeks, that the changes in Fat Free Mass just kept on going up for over up to (and over) 6 weeks. The recommendation set by steroid.com for your average clen cycle is 6-12 weeks, however I would personally stop at 6. I know that side effects are over-rated in everything, but I personally like to look after my heart that extra bit.

That being said, any studies showing heart hypertrophy with clenbuterol are only really with animals, and significant possibly irreversible side effects with clen are with mg dosages, we will only ever be taking them in mcg. Significantly smaller =]

In comparison to other products like Ephedrine, Clenbuterol does have an awful lot missing from the wonders of ephedrine. It doesn't stimulate even half as many receptors or do as many wonderous things, however the half life is much longer, the side effects can be more easily tolerated and the cardiovascular effects are far superior. For me this puts clenbuterol ahead of ephedrine, I mean I've never really had any good fat loss effects from using Ephedrine, nothing noticeable anyway. However using Clenbuterol is something I will now always encourage in a cut after my last cycle, things just went so successfully and I learned to taper clen to a way that suited me. Which brings us to our next mini point;


How should one take Clenbuterol?


Here's the obvious Clenbuterol dosages;


Week 1; 40mg every day
Week 2; 60mg e/d
Week 3; 80mg e/d
Weed 4; 100mg e/d
Week 5-6+ ; 120mg e/d


You could also just say "Fuck this" if you have good tolerance to sides and do;

Day 1-4; 40mg e/d
Day 5-10; 80mg e/d
Day 10 - Weel 6+; 120mg e/d

This is always pretty sound. One thing I really have to advise with clenbuterol is for the sake of it do some freakin cardio. Keeping your heart rate in that optimal fat loss range of 120-140bpm is the easiest thing in the world whilst on clenbuterol, I mean a fast paced walk on a treadmill will do it. Just get it done for half an hour after each workout, this will not only produce good results but will also encourage you to expand your musical taste - because trust me you want your mp3 player / iPod / boom box whilst doing this unless ofcourse you have a home cinema system right in front of you to keep you entertained. We all like good music, may I recommend some Xzibit for cardio, just started listening to him again. Good times.

Personally how I take clenbuterol
I take it like a pre-workout product, this being said I work out 5 days per week at least as it is so I may as well be using clen daily when I do. I prefer to take clen about 1-2 hours before my gym visit, my workouts usually take 45-90 minutes, then whilst my heart is raging I dive on the treadmill. 30 minutes walk on a speed setting of about 7-8 km/ph, just enough for a fast walk that isn't annoying to keep up and get that steez done. I don't really like the ideal of just taking clenbuterol for the sake of it, I feel that when combined with some cardio in the day that you really get the most out of it. Also I find if I jog to get the heart rate to 170-190 (which will happen on clenbuterol), even at a slow paced walk aftwards with heavy breathing it'd take a long while before my heart rate would fall below 130, so it might be an idea at the end of slow state cardio sessions to finish up with 1-3 minutes of fast jogging.


I re-enforce before taking Clenbuterol to visit steroid.com and read their article on it. It's more in depth with much less broscience in than my own.
