How quickly does Clenbuterol work ?

Introduction

 

For most bodybuilders the desire to see instant results from their hectic training programs pushes them to experiment with a number of steroids. Some use only one type of anabolic steroid while others back their workout program with a steroid stack.

There are different drugs that can help bodybuilders achieve their workout goals. However, some to these drugs offer specific and defined benefits.

In the case of Clenbuterol or “Clen”, bodybuilders looking to burn body fat during a cutting workout program can use the steroid. But the administration of Clen or any other steroid for that matter without putting in the hard work required in bodybuilding will only lead to frustration and disappointment.

That being said, the age old question of ‘how quickly does Clen work?‘ is one of the first questions on the lips of most bodybuilders that are considering running a Clen cycle.

A Typical Clen Cycle for Bodybuilders

 

In answering the question of ‘how quickly does Clen work?’, you have to understand what constitutes a typical Clen cycle for bodybuilders.

Bodybuilders looking to engage in a cutting workout program for example, would need to run a two week Clen cycle to begin with.

This Clenbuterol cycle would involve the consumption of an increased daily dosage of orally administered Clen pills for the first week then a steady reduction of the dosage by the same incremental amount in the second week.

Not to get you confused, here’s what a typical Clen cycle for bodybuilders should look like:

1st Week:

  • On the 1st day – 20 mg
  • 2nd day – 40 mg (a steady increment of 20 mg per day for 7 days)
  • 3rd day – 60 mg
  • 4th day – 80 mg
  • 5th day – 100 mg
  • 6th day – 120 mg
  • 7th day – 140 mg

2nd Week:

  • 8th day – 120 mg (a reduction of 20 mg which continues right through to the 14th day)
  • 9th day – 100 mg
  • 10th day – 80 mg
  • 11th day – 60 mg
  • 12th day – 40 mg
  • 13th day – 20 mg
  • 14th day – no drug taken.

As you can see the Clen cycle goes from an increment to a reduction of the dosage till the cycle is complete. After the two week cycle, you are advised to give another two weeks to recuperate before you begin another Clenbuterol cycle.

Note that this cycle is ideal for men and people of large build, however women and individuals with a smaller build should administer about half of the Clen dosage stated above.

Clen – A Fast Acting Steroid

 

When used as a steroid for running a cutting workout program, you should know that the speed at which the drug will act will be dependent on several factors.

First of all, the speed of action of Clen will vary from person to person simply because our physiological makeup is different. Also, the tolerance level of individuals differ, so the rate at which the drug would work in a person would also differ.

In addition to this, taking Clenbuterol without backing the drug up with a dedicated training program and good dietary regime could adversely affect the speed at which the steroid acts in your body.

But if you eat right, diligently workout and meticulously adhere to the two week cycle dosage, results should be visible within the first week of the Clenbuterol cycle.

This is because Clen has an 89 to 98% bioavailability when orally administered with a hepatic metabolism (that is metabolism occurs primarily in the liver) and an elimination half-life of between 36 to 48 hours.

In burning fat, Clenbuterol works by increasing your core body temperature in a process known as thermogenics. With your raised body temperature, your excess body fat is burned. Backing up the Clen dosage with a rigorous training routine would lead to repartitioning and the development of lean muscle mass – every bodybuilders dream!
