Scared to take clen...

[BalcoBob]

I took clen a few years back and I cramped up like no other. Im talking hours of cramping it was horrible. I also do Mma and we train for hours and sometimes do t get water breaks. I cramp and don't even take clen imagine if I did. Is clen just not for my body?

 

[DADAWG]

why not try t3 instead if clen cramps you up . dont like clen either

 

[powerman84]

ya if you cant get 1-2 gallons of water a day i would go with t3. taurine really helps with the cramps too.

taurine and potassium is needed while on clen.

I prefer albuterol to clen because the sides are less severe.

Agreed, need to take both while on Clen. However, I do prefer Clen bc of the strength.

Take the taurine and pot pills and drink 1-2g of water a day and you should be fine. You need to start off small and then and only then increase your dosages. More is not necessarily better...especially in the Clens case-TRUST ME

Also, stretching is a must before and after workouts.

I was taking 5g taurine and 400mg Potassium daily on clen and never had any issues.

I never have any issues with clen as long as I drink enough water.

Just like DAWDAG mentions - T3 is also great - for me it works great and is not so hard on the system - but then again I run the two together.

If you do run T3 - I don't recommend going over 100 as studies show people going into a catabolic state as pretty common.

I've ran T3 at 100 and have not felt like I was in a catabolic state - however I'm also running my gear pretty heavy.

I would also not ever run T3 without gear - clen without gear is ok - but not T3.

What are the benefits of the taurine? Does it work synergistically with the Potassium or what?

IIRC taurine is responsible for converting t4 to t3 in the liver, and regulates hydration/water throughout the body. Clen depletes your body's supply.

It's best to shift to t3, but if you wanna stick with clen, try taking it with much water and potassium suspension orally maybe some muscle relaxants ,,, I think that would help...

why not try ephedrine and caffeine. The energy boost might help your mma workouts.
