Clenbuterol

Clenbuterol is one of the most effective fat burners. It does this by slightly increasing body temperature. Clenbuterol is popular among celebrities and bodybuilders. Many pros use it as a pre-contest drug.

It has an outstanding potential to promote dramatic strength increases and muscle gains as well as a very noticeable reduction in body fat and weight loss.

Clenbuterol is attractive for it's pronounced thermogenic effects as well as mild anabolic properties. It's most valid application seems to be as a pre-contest, cutting drug. It is not banned by any athletic committee.

Dosages are normally between 20-120 mcg for bodybuilders that use this. Cycles range from 6-12 weeks in length. Fat burning and weight loss, will continue past the 18 day period. After 12 weeks, the drug should be discontinued for a couple of months.

To say that clenbuterol use is rampant in bodybuilding right now would be an understatement. Thousands and thousands of athletes are using this drug. Generally, the feedback from clenbuterol users is that the drug produces dramatic body composition alterations. Within weeks of beginning clenbuterol therapy, many athletes notice a significant strength increase and a dramatic reduction in body fat. The results occur equally in men and women as well as young and old.

The trick to using clenbuterol successfully seems to be avoiding receptor downgrade which occurs rapidly with the use of this beta agonist. In fact, one clinical study s owe at receptor downgrade as much as 50% is experienced after using clenbuterol for as little as 18 days consecutively. This same study showed that attenuation can be avoided if clenbuterol is taken in a 2 day on 2 day off pattern. Athletes using clenbuterol in this manner have reported much greater results than those who use the product continually which seems to support the theory that attenuation can be at least partially avoided by staggering the dosage. Athletes have also made a habit of cycling clenbuterol in an effort to minimize side effects as well as prevent receptor downgrade. Average cycle length on clenbuterol is 8-10 weeks with a 4-6 week off period.

Side effects include nervousness, tremors of the hands, headaches, and insomnia.
