First Clenbuterol Cycle Log

[Jimmy88]

Goal is to maintain muscle and lose some fat -
Weight is 68.5, I reckon I'm about 12% body fat, would be nice to get to 10%.
I recently had a shoulder op so I can't work my upper body much ... so gym sessions are limited mainly to squats (machine) abs and cardio.
The idea is to maintain as much muscle while I'm letting my shoulder heal and see if I can drop some BF in the process.

Today is day 1, took 20mcg; I plan to do two cycles of 14 days each, with the dose increasing daily by 20mcg to a maximum of 100.
Took my temperature this morning, it was 35.8c.

[Jimmy88]

Forgot to mention I'd be on a caloric deficit diet - 40/40/20 (protein, carbs, fats - or as close to that as i can get)

 

[Jimmy88]

Also fwiw I've been on EC stack and YC stack in the past so I'll be able to compare the three when I'm finished

 

[J.P.Q.]

I'll follow your thread ) I'm still in the process of decision whether clen or lipo-6 or something else. So it will be interesteing for mee to see your results.

Days 1&2

Day 1 took the 20mcg, was perhaps a bit jittery, nothing major.
Today, Day 2 took 40mcg in the morning and another 20mcg at noon - still feeling about the same as yesterday, perhaps the slightest of headaches; no change in appetite or body temperature. Tomorrow will go up to 100mcg and report back

 

[Jimmy88]

Days 3&4

Day 3 I upped to dose to 100mcg, side effects were still mild, nothing really to report.
Today I took 120mcg and started to get ever so slight jitters plus a mild headache - at least I know the stuff isn't bunk. My tolerance to stims in general is high so I'm not surprised it took this dosage for me to start feeling the side effects.
Taken my temperature again today and it was mid 36c, usually I'm just under 36c so perhaps my body temperature is elevated slightly, though I cant be sure.
I've read some people reporting body temperatures of 37+, if that happens that pretty much tells you the stuff works (unless you're ill of course).

I have to say appetite is the same as usual - none of the initial appetite suppression effects of EC stack when you start taking it.

Are you doing 2 weeks on/2 off or taking ketotifen ?

Two weeks on / 2 off

 

[Jimmy88]

So I read this in the Clen FAQ
"Headaches can easily be avoided with Tylenol Extra Strength taken at the first signs of a headache. You may need to take double the recommended dose."
and was wondering - if you take Tylenol wouldn't it decrease your body temperature which goes against the whole point of taking Clen (increasing body temp)

 

[J.P.Q.]

Tking into account that Tylenol's active substance is Paracetamol, how could it provoke the rising of the temperature? I think it should decrease the body temp especially in double dose.

 

[Jimmy88]

That's what I meant, paracetamol lowers your body temp which contradicts what the Clen is doing... now I'm no scientist, but that's a good enough reason for me to not take paracetamol for the headaches.
Also, I'm beginning to think the headaches were more a consequence of not having my morning coffee - I assumed I should probably avoid caffeine however once I got back to my habit the headaches were gone.
Shakes are still there. I've upped the dose to 140mcg now and the sides are mild shakes and some lethargy in the mornings - however I do seem to be more pumped during and after a workout.

 

[Jimmy88]

Just FYI (not going to be relevant for many) - I have been given Tramadol after my shoulder op, haven't taken it in a while and had to take some yesterday - mixing that and and Clen is a serious no-no...
Tramadol is known to give seizures in high dosages, while my dose was low, I guess that and the shakes from Clen was a bad combo, heart rate was thru the roof. It settled after an hour or two.

 

[J.P.Q.]

May be..I'm not a specialist and usually i take nothing for the headacke. So i even have not much experience.

 

[Jimmy88]

Well tomorrow is my last day of the round 1 - I must say this stuff makes you feel like crap; lethargic, mild headache, and also the shakes last all the way thru, I assumed they'd go away after a few days. Will weigh myself and post an updated picture tomorrow to see if it was worthwhile ...
I *feel* like I've lost some fat, certainly the pinch test seems to confirm that;
The most disappointing thing about Clen for me, is that it does nothing in terms of hunger suppression - if it had an element of that it would make it much easier.

 

[Mikeybltd]

Clen gives me the biggest appetite bro but still lose the fat it's good whit if you can handle the sides

 

[J.P.Q.]

Look's like too much side effects (( Let;s wait till you results, And what do you think, will you use it in future?

 

[J.P.Q.]

What about the last day weight and photo? )

 

[Jimmy88]

So ... feeling sooooo much better now
Scales show i dropped 1kg and i'm pretty sure i lost some fat too. Plan is to keep the diet spot on for the next two weeks. taking some yohimbine to help with that.
I will update the log when i get back on the clen, and post pictures when i've finished the second cycle.

 

[Jimmy88]

In terms of "will i use it again", i'd like to wait til i've finished the second round, i think two weeks of anything cant make THAT much difference, so i'll reserve judgement until i finish the second round.

1 kg? Is it good result for clen?
