: : Anyone knows if the Clenbuterol is effective in cycling or any other andurance sport?
: Yes, quite. It can make a tremendous difference in breathing ability and will help by
: acting as an anti-catabolic during severe training for competition.
: : Are there any long-term side effects by celnbuterol?
: Most likely not. It is impossible to guarantee that any substance isn't going to cause
: long term effects. It depends on the person and how it is used.
Isn't it downregulating the receptors? That's why it's only effective for a couple of weeks. I even heard that the number of receptors decreases - is this reversible?
: : Should be this drug used with proper food diet?
: Absolutely. Come to think of it, why would any athlete ask if he needs to follow a
: "proper" diet for best results regarding anything? OF COURSE you need to follow a
: good diet for best performance, regardless of what supplements you use.
: If you use clen correctly, you will probably have to make changes in your diet in
: the way of protein. Most cyclists and endurance athletes (sorry to stereotype you)
: do not eat enough protein. They are still in the dark about macronutrient ratios.
: If you use a drug that increases your metabolism, it will also increase the protein
: turnover in the body. That basically means that you will burn more protein for fuel,
: along with the fat and carbs. I would make sure to get at least 1 gram per lb. of
: bodyweight. Also, remember to use clen on an empty stomach.
: Once again, if you use the clen, that is your choice. I am not recommending that you
: do. It is a drug and may have serious side effects. Make sure you have had a check-up
: recently.
