Why does my strength increase on clen?

[carl77]

Quick question, when i take clen i use it 2 weeks 2 off. During the 2 weeks on my strength always increase, this happens if i taking AAS or if I just taking the clen on its own. My body fat goes down and my strength nearly always goes up. WHY????????

It shouldn't be significant strength gains, but Clen activates mTOR. (the system that regulates our cell growth and metabolism). What you're experiencing is probably a small amount in relation to actual muscle fiber amassment, and more related to endurance, which in fact increases muscle cell endurance. In other words, your mind thinks you're stronger, but in fact you're just pushing yourself harder because of the effects. Either way, it's a good thing.

yeh that all makes sense, another thing i noticed as well. While on a cutting cycle using test and t3 my strength goes down but if i use test t3 and clen it doesnt go down it actually even goes up

Its like most "stims"....a lot of it is in your head cause you feel it...the thought that clean had or has anabolic effects in humans has been pretty much squashed......

I would bet if you consumed a strong stem like adderal or phentermine you would get the same lifts in strength..

Everyone is right, just the stimulation effect of the compound.
I always read how people say clen is anabolic because it makes many users slightly stronger, but it really isnt.
Humans do not have the proper receptors for clen to become anabolic in our bodies. In rats, clen is a powerful
anabolic agent and increases LBM, but they have a different selection of receptors for the hormone to bind to
than we do.
Like S2H said, I have a concerta prescription that I take when needed...a hard stim like adderall and you definitely notice a boost. Hence why ADHD meds are banned in sports, alot of pros have used concerta in the past to push themselves harder as well as some of the characteristics of higher pain tolerance it provides when using.
