    Default Clenbuterol? Ever heard of it?

    Hello all,

    This is sorta my first post , I had another name about a year ago and forgot the login info, so started new. I'm from Tampa, worked at DH.

    I read on bodybuilder forums that this suppliment called Clenbuterol is what's hot in Hollywood/body builder competition curcuit.
    It's isn't a hardcore steroid that makes you build "manly" type muscles, but raises the basal metabolism rate, so you naturally eat less, but also isn't catabolic..So muscle isn't burned, fat is. Some swear by it for this reason for beginners & pros.

    Has anyone had any experience in it?

    Take care,
    C.

    I have used it,it is ok,your body gets use to it very quickly so you have to cycle 2 days on 2 off for around to weeks then take a break for 2 weeks.The sides are gitters & raised temp so you sweat more.If have any Questions just pm me,I was a trainer sense 96 & have competed in some shows.I am from tampa, now in Atl.

    yes i have tried it and it made me so shaky i stopped after the first day. i would NOT recommend this to someone that doesn't have knowledge of the drug, for a beginner, or for someone just looking to lose a few pounds that could be done by exercise and diet.

    side effects:

    NAUSEA
    NERVOUSNESS
    DIZZINESS
    DROWSINESS
    DRY MOUTH
    FACIAL FLUSHING
    HEADACHE
    HEARTBURN
    INCREASED BLOOD PRESSURE
    INCREASED SWEATING
    INSOMNIA
    LIGHTHEADEDNESS
    MUSCLE CRAMPS
    TREMORS
    VOMITING
    CHEST PAIN

    The most significant side effects are muscle cramps, nervousness, headaches, and
    increased blood pressure.

    I would suggest a green tea extract instead.

    shoot, it sounds like it would be safer to go on the Jenny Crank diet than take that shit. It seems like all those appetite suppressant/fat burners make you jittery and I'd rather be 300 pounds than feel that way.

    Yeah I read the negative of it on some bodybuilder message boards.... they talk like damn chemistry majors, but from what I gather it binds the receptor that tell your body to store glucose.
    And it is the vet drug, it's also used in Europe/Asia for asthma attacks.

    I figured I have a high tolerance to caffeine, ephedra, the jitters go away after a week, may be worth a try for research LoL

    Thanks for the input guys.

    You can get Clenbuterol in Tiajuana. I bought a bottle of 50 for under five dollars. At first I couldn't really feel it because I was taking some herbal supplements. And now- well- I still can't feel it unless I take like 3 in a day. It seems like the next day my stomache looks alot more cut. Definately a good resource for people finding themselves immune to other stimulants. I guess I do notice a little shakiness in my hands if I'm concentrating- trying to paint my nails or thread a needle. ALSO- Don't think that Lindsey Lohan is a good example of usage. She drinks a ton, smokes, could have been on a myriad of other shit. And self-professed to have problems like that. I use this drug- yes- but I also eat healthy whole foods all day, plenty of water, and no cigs or alcohol. Your body is worth millions of dollars if you think about how much people would pay for your organs.....so it's up to you what you do with your investment, or inheritance more fitting.

    I thought the FDA didn't approve it for use because of complications in lab trials with rats where their HEART MUSCLES HARDENED....yikes. ANd other thing having to do with lungs, oxidation, or oxygenation.....But It is still working and I've been taking it pretty regularly for a couple of weeks.

    I am on it and it keeps muscle while losing fat. I have heard that the best way to use it is 2 weeks every day and then 2 weeks off, not 2 dyas on then 2 off. But everyone is different. It is not for extensive use (months, years). I get mine in TJ, too.

    To determine some of clenbuterol's actions, scientists at the University of Melbourne in Australia recently gave clenbuterol to laboratory rats at dosages of 2 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day. Some of the rats followed a completely sedentary lifestyle, while others sprinted on treadmills or engaged in endurance swim training. Clenbuterol did have a couple of potentially positive effects: Sedentary rats which ingested clenbuterol had larger muscles than clenbuterol-free, sedentary rodents, and clenbuterol users also transformed leg-muscle cells from slow-twitch to fast-twitch fibres, a surprising change which would tend to increase anaerobic energy production and magnify muscle power during short, intense exertions.

    However, clenbuterol also yielded three very negative changes. First, after just four weeks, clenbuterol-treated rats were unable to maintain their normal swimming or running training intensities, while clean rodents were quite capable of continuing. Secondly, the hearts of the clenbuterol-taking, trained rats increased dramatically in size compared to the hearts of sedentary rats, but the heart expansion was probably due to the infiltration of collagen fibres into the heart walls, not an increase in heart-muscle cells. Collagen is a tough connective tissue which doesn't augment heart-muscle power but in fact stiffens the heart, potentially leading to a decrease in cardiac output. Increases in collagen may also produce cardiac arrhythmias. Thirdly, clenbuterol rats suffered from noticeable cardiac-cell degeneration.

    In addition, although sedentary, clenbuterol-treated rats were more muscular than clenbuterol-free, sedentary rats, clenbuterol was unable to boost muscle mass among either the swim- or treadmill-trained rodents. It appears that, in spite of its popularity, clenbuterol is a potentially dangerous drug which offers very few positive effects for either the power or endurance athlete.

    There is a site that sells it for 'research purposes only' *wink* it's in liquid form...better absorption. I do NOT advocate the use of steroids or fat burners...why? Because 5 years ago I was hospitalized for kidney failure, adrenal burnout and I now have hypothyroidism! All from doing an ECA stack! (ephedrine, aspirin and caffeine).

    Everyone reacts diffrent to fat burners...I would never do it again! I have dabbled with a ton of fat burners...but that was the last time for me!

    If you decide or are using Clen I suggest telling your doctor (he is legally bound to not say anything as it is an illegal substance) this way he can monitor you...do thyroid panels, test your kidney function and watch your heart and blood pressure.

    Drink a ton of water...and do not over do the cardio...because your heart could give out!

    Anyone who says steroids or fat burners are not a big deal is not facing reality...I face it ever single day now...I would have sat on a wait list for god knows how long (this happened when I lived in Canada) before I could get a damn kidney. Thank god I made it through!

    Please be careful guys!

    I am happy to hear you received your kidney.The problem with research chems is that they are not regulated & the stregth might be off.With this drug if you take to much you are going to have problems.I would only suggest taking it pharm grade where you know how much you are taking.They are not hard to find.
