Does Clenbuterol have anabolic effects?

[JG1]

I hate Clen, if screws you up totally

Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean "it screws you up totally"?

 

[belly24]

clen has slight anbolic affects on animals NOT humans....it just makes me sweat alot

 

[fishstick]

what belly said! cardio on clen makes you sweat like a farm animal!

at least with me, my endurance isn't as good on clen, however, after a little cardio, you definitely feel like you've burned some lard.

also, it does seem to have anticatabolic properties when i've used it.

cardio is a necessity while on clen. it only works when you make it work.

Re: Clen

Clen is really only anabolic in animals because they have what is called alpha 3 receptors. These receptors are found in abundance in most animals and produces anabolic growth while the Alpha 2 and beta2+3 recptors create fat loss by speeding up your brown fat cells. Basically humans have so little of A3's that we don't get anabolic effects from clen. Some people have reported it though, But I would have to think only for the first three days, untill down regulation kicked in, and they probably had a high amount of A3 receptors.
.

So for those of us that do gain muscle from clen , maybe we should do 1 week on and 1-2 week off? What do you guys think?

it has always been my understanding humans receptors basically become saturated within 2 days of use therefor a 2 day on 2 off cycling methods would be ideal when using clen i have always cycled it this way and beleive it or not it made me grow. my back was the most noticeable and i didnt do any significant cardio work while on it just my 2 cents

I am just curious if anyone that claims clenbuterol is anabolic actually has any SCIENTIFIC studies or info that prove this. I give beta-2 agonist to patients everyday, and through all of my pharmacology education, I have never came across any info that would suggest that this drug has any anabolic properties.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Some of the reference books I read back when clen and spiropent just came out seemed to claim (from scientific double blind studies) it was mildly anabolic but the placebo group was very close in results. I think the anabolic activity came from additional energy/workload people on the clen had...or testing it on horses. It was and still is popular post cycle because some feel it helps keep gains while stripping fat. Different strokes for different folks.

the clen has biphasic elimination, the first halflife is around 10 hours and the second is around 40 hours
