Clenbuterol Questions

Have a few questions about clenbuterol........

What type of cardio works best?-long duration low intensity, high intensity interval cardio etc......

ive heard high intensity cardio is dangerous due to clenbuterol increasing blood pressure and heart rate...is this true?

due to the potency of clenbuterol and similar thermogenic drugs, can u consume a maintenance calorie diet and still lose fat or does the negative calories diet rule for fat loss still apply?

Can u stack with pro-hormones or AAS and still see fat loss and lean muscle gains at the same time?

will a personal blood pressure machine surffice or should i see a doctor while on clenbuterol?
How do you go about telling your doctor that u are on an illegal drug?

21yrs old, 220lbs, 5'10"
have trouble losing stubborn mid-section fat put on after mass cycles
have lost fat with cardio and good diet previously but subborn fat still remains
weight train 5 times a week
cardio 3 times a week


Thank You for your time!!!

Right, but are you dieting now? Are you losing weight yet?

So why do you want to use clen? You're not even dieting yet. It won't get the fat off you if you're not dieting. It doesn't work that way.

I've heard mixed-reviews on clen. Some swear by it, some say, "meh, no better than EC".

Get your diet ticking along first. What macros are you running, and what will you run to cut?

I'd probably increase the fats to 100g at the very least while cutting, and leave the protein at 250g. Your need for protein while cutting increases as you wish to remain nitrogen-positive while under the oxidative stress of slowly starving.

Carbohydrate is less important. What little you consume, target to the meals before and or after you lift.

Fat is satiating. You'll feel better - you may find it easier to diet on higher fat than on lower fat. At least keep your fats at around a half a gram per pound LBM. Most people find this a reasonable ballpark to hit. I like mine a lot higher - I'd only be eating about 55-60g of fat if I dosed it at half a gram per pound LBM, but I prefer it a lot higher, 80-120g at least.

If you hit the clen right away, you won't know if your diet is doing it, or the clen. If you get the diet going first, you'll lose weight. Use the clen when you hit a stall.

Don't even worry about cardio for now. Go for a walk after your workouts if you like, just let the diet do its job.

Nope. Low volume, heavy weight. The simple way of putting it is that you are just trying to convince your body to hold onto the muscle while you 'starve away the fat', as Built would say.

What type of cardio works best?-long duration low intensity, high intensity interval cardio etc......

Low to moderate intensity. Avoid high intensity.

ive heard high intensity cardio is dangerous due to clenbuterol increasing blood pressure and heart rate...is this true?

Possibly. You will be burning fat as rapily as possible at moderate intensity on clen.

due to the potency of clenbuterol and similar thermogenic drugs, can u consume a maintenance calorie diet and still lose fat or does the negative calories diet rule for fat loss still apply?

Caloric deficit

Can u stack with pro-hormones or AAS and still see fat loss and lean muscle gains at the same time?

Yes, just but I don't recommend trying to gain while on clen. It zaps your glycogen, which is bad for recovery and performance.

will a personal blood pressure machine surffice or should i see a doctor while on clenbuterol?
How do you go about telling your doctor that u are on an illegal drug?

No need to see a doctor if you follow a good dosing schedule mixed with self-awareness.

Thanks Pirate. I have no personal experience with clen, and hear very mixed reviews. It sounds like you have used this substance successfully, yes?

Clen works very well as a fat burner for up to two weeks. I've used it successfully, but one must be very carefull with dosing.

what dosage do u suggest?.....what do u do after two weeks then?...is this due to beta-receptor down regulation?

ive heard different things such as 2 days on/2 days off or 2-3 weeks straight.....which one is correct or is it personal preference?

first i wanna ask are you used to taking alot of caffeine, or say doing the caf,bronkaid, and asp. combo? clen was a big step for me even though ive done all those combos. ive taking clen now off and on now for two years, not saying this is for everyone but here is my dosages

.25ML week 1. once in the morning once at 4pm
.50ML week 2. once in the morning once at 4pm
then 3-4 weeks off

the first time i took i found out after about 4 weeks of continuous use i getting upping the dose cause i was no longer feeling it, i found out from a friend i was taking WAY too much. so now i know about cycling

now also be prepared to drink a crap ton of water i usually drink on average a gallon a day when using clen i up it too 2 gallons a day, and its not a suggestion its a warning cause if you dont prepare for the worst headaches and the worst muscles cramps you have ever had!

thanks
potassium, taurine, water water water

honestly the results were pretty good helped with the weight loss, but i didnt notice anything different from taking the bronkaid,aspirin, caffeine combo, and lately ive been thinking about swithcin back to the combo because and i forgot to mention this to ya the trembles you get from it. no matter what dose i take i tremble so much i cant even right my own name.

if you havent taking any caffeine supps or anything like bronkaid then clen might be a big step, just be sure if you go with it make sure you start super low on the dosage to be safe
