Does anybody use Clenbuterol for PCT anymore?

[Trickie]

Seems to me that nobody bothers with it now.....When people talk about PCT they never mention Clenbuterol these days...I know its expensive and hard to get but I thought at one time it was quite poular post cycle to keep some strength etc....If that has changed then why?

I'm using it right now post-cycle. I find it helps me retain more of my gains. I'll take it for 6 weeks then start up with the gear again. My daily dose is 120mcg

i dont like clen post cycle as my heart races while on it.
in fact.. i think efedrine and clen and other stimulants are quite catabolic...

the day after taking them you feel run down and the body is surely in a catabolic state.

i say stay away from all stimulants unless you're a competing pro.

I use it post cycle starting from last shot for 6 weeks

 

[lartinos]

yeah, I wouldn't use it for that purpose either.

Using clen for PCT is a farce -- a rumor - a myth - an urban legand.

It all started with some sketchy studies on cattle that were given clen IM and showed more LBM. (Duh) THis started the speculative ball rolling in comic boks such as MuscleMedia 2000 and everyone has believed it ever since (Along with the glutimine myths, and the Nolva myths and several others)

But clen is a CNS which means, it is catabolic, not anabolic. It will lean you out, which gives the appearence of being more muscular but it will not prevent mucle loss, or restore HPTA. And any fat you lose while on it wil come back as soon as you stop using it. That happens EVERY time you use a CNS. The only way to burn fat more "permanently" is through accelerated thyroid fuction. But thyroid drugs have the same rebound effect as CNS.

So what's the difference between accelerating thyroid output with your ZIP product and increasing fatloss with a thermogenic?

If you go off ZIP, won't the benefits be lost just the same as with a thermo.

Clen

Clen will not restore HPTA. I disagree with Nelson. It may be a CNS, but diet plays a major roll in the whole weight loss process beyond the drug(s).

Satchboogie says "just say no."

i can die in peace now, i've seen it all.

I know plenty of people that have used stimulants to lose weight, and kept it off after cessation - so things aren't that cut and dry.
Also, having faster thyroid function usually means having a side effect of having higher resting and post meal blood glucose levels - so this means you will lose fat except in peripheral areas such as the lower abs, glutes and upper thighs.
