Hey guys I'm new here, but I've been lurking for awhile soaking up as much info as possible. I just have a question or two about the Clen run I have planned for late march.
First, Let me give you that stats and goals.
As of right now, I am natural. I have not run any PHs or real gear because I definitely believe I have more gains to make before I add in the sauce
and I don't want to risk damaging my HPTA by starting too soon.
Currently, I lift 3x a week Tu-Thur-Sat
primarily heavy compound movements (dl, bench, weighted pullups, and squats)
I track all of the food I consume according to the macros calculated by my nutritionist and have steadily made gains of about .4-.5 pounds per week.
Age: 21
Height 5'11
Weight 185
Body Fat 11.3% (Measured in air chamber 1 month ago)
My metabolism is incredibly fast and when I cut last spring the weight melted off like butter but in the process I lost a good amount of the gains I had made during the winter bulk. I looked to clenbuterol because of its anti-catabolic properties in a calorie reduced diet. Ideally, I would run a 500 calorie deficit for two weeks and then take 4 weeks off eating at new maintenance so my body could achieve homeostasis at the lower weight. I would see how things went and determine if another run was in order in early May. I don't drink frequently and am looking to use this as a standalone tool to help hold on to the progress I have made thus far at 8% bf. My two questions then are:
1. If I am only running the clen for two weeks, do I need still need to use Ketotifin to upregulate the receptors?
2. Second, I plan on starting at 20 mcg and assessing tolerance. I couldn't find a concrete answer however to the degree that other stimulants should be avoided. Would it be a good idea to cut the coffee out for 2 weeks just to play it safe?
Thanks guys I really look forward to participating more in the community!
