Does Clenbuterol affect gains?

The title says it all. I am about to start taking some clenbuterol to help reduce bodyfat and was wondering if it would affect my gains. It is a vaso-constrictor to a certain extent. Does anyone know if it will stop or hinder gains?

Well,
I know,clenbuterol it is using for ripping but it is a strong asthma medication.

If I should get ripped I would use the ECA stack. ECA is an acronym for ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin, and it is fantastic for weight loss in bodybuilding.

No, it should not hinder any gains. If anything, it opens the vascular system. It is a vaso-dilator. And yes it typically is an “asthma” medication, but we use it for the purposes of cutting up for shows. It also has an anabolic effect even though the scientists said they cannot fiugre that one out!

Good luck and be safe with that stuff…!

I’ve been taking 50mcg of Clenbuterol for 4 days with no change in hang. But then again I’m also hopped up on Cialis so go figure.

Word of warning when taking Clenbuterol. It is very powerful. You might read that the recommended dosage is 140mcg. Start off by taking 40-50mcg and gradually build up. Have fun!!

How well does Clen work?
Do you have a prescription?
Is it control 3 like steroids?
Can you just take Clen without steroids?
I do not care about gaining size. I am about 6’1” 250 with about 10-12% body fat. I want to get lean but not lose muscle. Am I a good candidate for Clen or am I too fat to make a difference?

Thanks for your input.

all4show,
Very long thread so you might want to do a search of just that thread for things like Clen, clenbuteral, kitsnmore, emeraldscience. Kitsnmore/emeraldscience will sell you clen dirt cheap. Just remember, it is for research purposes only! ;)

Closing down all the generic drug web sites/and finding open sites for generic drugs

Sounds like nasty stuff to me:

Westla, I could see why they would ban this for livestock use, but not for intentional human consumption. I took Ritalin as a kid and it is almost identical in side effects.

“The people were hospitalized with reversible symptoms of increased heart rate, muscular tremors, headache, nausea, fever, and chills. Although the toxic effects of clenbuterol residues have been described as mild, FDA considers all unintended effects on humans to be unacceptable.”

Do you have a prescription? No
Is it control 3 like steroids? Yes
Can you just take Clen without steroids? Yes, in fact most bodybuilders take Clen AFTER their cycle to counteract the catabolic effect.
I do not care about gaining size. I am about 6’1” 250 with about 10-12% body fat. I want to get lean but not lose muscle. Am I a good candidate for Clen or am I too fat to make a difference?——Yes, you are a good candidate. With the above answer said, Clen raises you body temperature slightly so your body has to burn more fat to compensate for this process. I really cannot stress enough how strong this drug is. Dosing (when using liquid Clenbuterol )is something that should be done with the utmost care. It is not a comfortable drug to be on until you get used to it, so start off small.

I didn’t read Westla’s link, but fairly recent studies on animals show clen damaging heart tissue. That’s something to think about.

Is ~2 weeks of a slight metabolism boost worth it? I’ve never used clen and don’t intend to. IMO, an EC stack is a cheaper and better option that remains effective for much longer.

I’ve read that also Hobby. I’ve also read that the chemical that is released while on Clen, which is responsible for this, is also emitted on Ephedrine as well. So buyer beware!!

Sidenote: Ephedrine has also been linked to causing strokes and other heart conditions, i.e. metabolife. These two drugs are definitely not something you would want to take habitually.

I’d be more interested in how it effects cardiac tissue.

I tried it 3 times (research and legit pills). Didn’t do anything but give me a headache.

Clenbuterol is an asthma medicine, and is not particularly dangerous when used properly.

From westla’s link, it appears that the reason it’s banned in livestock is because it can concentrate in the animal’s liver which can cause people that consume the liver to get a strong enough dosage of clen to notice the effects.

Here’s an article from bodybuilding.com on clen.

I’m going to be trying clen while doing my PE routine, as I started an eca stack but forgot my dick pratically retreats inside my body when I’m on eca, making it difficult to maintain an erection or do various PE excersises.

Hopefully clen isnt the same.

Btw bump for more experiences.

Old thread, I know. Would like to hear more.

Can clenbuterol increase chance of injury because it affects vascular system to some point?
