Clenbuterol: a substitute for anabolic steroids?

Clenbuterol is a recently popular drug used by athletes in many sports for its purported anabolic effects and reduction of subcutaneous fat. It is a beta-2 (beta 2) agonist prescribed overseas as a bronchodilator, but not approved for use in this country. It is on the banned substance list of the United States Olympic Committee. To avoid any erosion of confidence, physicians caring for athletes need accurate information regarding clenbuterol. Such information is unavailable within the routine medical environs. A review of the literature of animal husbandry reveals that this drug, when administered in doses far greater than those required for bronchodilation, does indeed increase the deposition rate of lean mass and retard adipose gain. There are no human studies available. Animal studies were conducted on laboratory and slaughter stock. No investigation into long-term cardiovascular side effects has been undertaken. The rate of extrapolation from animal studies to unsupervised human usage is alarming. If this category of drugs does preserve lean mass in humans, there are legitimate medical applications. Trials of efficacy and safety are needed.

Tdlr: its also anti catabolic so not just a fat burner you gain muscle

I believe the anti-catabolic properties don’t really help you gain muscle, but more help you hold on to muscle while you are cutting, which is still super beneficial. I do cycle Clen (2 weeks on, 2 off) and while it is useful, it’s still a pretty unpleasant compound to use. It probably is the least pleasant PED I’ve ever put into my body. If you start too high then you’d hands will shake and I get incredibly anxious. It is very useful but you need to weigh the pros and cons with this one.

I know a lot of people that would agree, and I do as well to an extent. When you hit single digit body fat, it absolutely has its uses though.
