pointless to using clen during bulking cycle??

gr81 · 03-25-2003, 06:39 PM

I am about to start a cycle of test & EQ with relatively high doses of each. My dealer suggests that I should hop on the clen in the first few weeks to drop a few lbs. I think that he just wants me to buy more drugs from him but he insists that he has done this and he was able to cut some fat effectively. So my question is whether there is a point to taking clen for the first few weeks of a bulking cycle where your calories are increased? As I understand it, since clen is a thermogenic, you would need a decrease in calories to be in fat burning mode, and seeing as how there will be a sustaned increase in calories I don't understand how this is going to burn fat. As I understand it, all hopping on the clen would accomplish is raising my body tempature in this specific situation. I am 21 yr old, 5"8' 200 at 12-13%BF. I am not too worried about dropping fat until it comes contest time. Wouldn't something like T3 or PGF-1 be more suitable though in a situation like this where calories are up, or would clen infact work in this situation?

I think it would be of little if any benefit. Instead, you may want to consider using it the last couple of weeks of your cycle as you taper down and continue using it after the cycle is over to help minimize muscle loss. In this regard you are using it more as an anti-catabolic versus a thermogenic.

Again...agreed.

im with fit freak, use it towards the end of your cycle to shed any fat gain caused by your bulking cycle and to help you keep your muscle gains.
