Hopefully someone can bear with me and tell me if this is a realistic hypothesis or if my logic is flawed somewhere. This is how I see it and how it seems to affect me - let me know if this is wrong.
Clen is used to stimulate a higher release of fat into the bloodstream to be burned for energy. While providing more fat to be burned, clen essentially raises the body's priority to burn fat while lowering it's priority to burn carbs. For an individual who requires an abnormally large amount of carbs to gain muscle weight, clen could be used to spare carbs from contributing to energy production, while allowing them to be utilized for muscle growth more efficiently.
Now, where I've been led to this idea is over the couple cycles of clen that I have done. I am 6' and about 170-175lbs. I have never been over about 13-14%bf in my entire life and my metabolism is constantly raging. I CAN gain weight steadily when I get my diet in check, but the number of carbs required for me to make steady gains always seems DRASTICLY higher than all my friends of similar age and body size. I have friends almost the same weight and height - we will consume very similar amounts of fat and protein, while I consume far more carbs. Both of us will gain at similar rates. The downside to this is that it is very difficult to get ENOUGH carbs sometimes. The upside seems to be that I really have to TRY to get fat. I've stayed lean through some of the worst sugary diets you can imagine, but hey... we all want whatever we don't have, so of course I'm always wishing I'd grow off less carbs like my friends do...
Anyway, long story short, it's only a hunch but it has seemed that while on Clen, I can produce gains at a similar rate as when I am not on Clen, but with less effort put toward carb consumption. My hypothesis, in short, therefore, is that Clenbuterol can potentially reduce the number of carbs required for an individual to maintain new muscle growth.
Maybe this is impossible and someone can tell me why, or maybe this is true and many people are completely aware of it and I just missed out somewhere. Either way, I'd love to have some opinions.
Thanks for your time,
Drew
