This debate continues today, with many still using Clenbuterol as a potential anabolic. With this in mind athletes will tailor their dosage and cycling of Clenbuterol individually depending on which of the two "possible" results are more desired, and how much side effects are to be tolerated. The possible side effects of Clenbuterol include those of other CNS stimulants, and include such occurrences as shaky hands, insomnia, sweating, increased blood pressure and nausea. These Clenbuterol side effects will generally subside after a week or so of use however, once the user becomes accustomed to Clenbuterol. One would typically start a Clenbuterol cycle by gradually increasing the dosage each day until a desired range is established. This process will minimize the unwanted side effects seen from Clenbuterol; which otherwise might be dramatic if a large dose of Clenbuterol is administered from the onset. Men generally end up in the range of 2-8 tablets of Clenbuterol per day, although some people do claim to tolerate even higher dosages. Women get by on less, generally 2-4 tablets daily. Very quickly, Clenbuterol will elevate the body temperature. The rise is not usually dramatic, perhaps a half of a degree or so, sometimes a little more. This elevation is due to your body burning excess energy (largely from fat) and is usually not uncomfortable.
Burning effect of Clenbuterol
Many competitors also find the fat burning effect of Clenbuterol can be further enhanced by additional substances. When Clenbuterol combined with thyroid hormones, specifically the powerful Cytomel, the thermogenic effect of Clenbuterol can become extremely dramatic. This can be to a point that the athlete could shred exceptional amounts of extra fat during contest preparations, without a dramatic restriction in calories. Such a mix can be further used during a steroid cycle, eliciting a much harder look from the anabolics. These cutting agents can often greatly inhibit extra fat storage during the cycle, even when using strong aromatizing androgens. A clenbuterol/thyroid mix is also common when using growth hormone, further enhancing the thermogenic and anabolic effect of this therapy.
