clen question

[outshine]

what kind of dosing protocols work best. I've tried 2 weeks on 2 weeks off but have also heard good things about 2 days on 1 off.

[SteveMan]

not sure if pulsing clen is good, that 1 day off will probably not prevent it from becoming ineffective after a few weeks, but I am not sure. Pretty much everyone I know who uses it does the 2 weeks on/off protocol so I think thats a safer bet.

I would tend to agree. I have not seen any data to show, but I would imagine that only 1 day off would not be enough to replenic your b2 receptors. I stick to 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.

You're right, the 2 days on 1 day off doesn't work to re-sensitize the beta2-andrenergic receptors.

But the question is why? The answer is simple. Clen has a half life of 26 hours meaning that that one day off it is still actively affecting the sensors.

2 weeks on, 2 weeks off is the accepted method. Longer can be done if ketotifen is present.

My opinion? 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off... I have run this cycle for YEARS with great success.

Clen needs to get into the system GRADUALLY, and increased with every dosage. I usually take 5 days to load the clen into my system, and take the final 5 days of my 4 weeker to ease it out the exact same way. So technically, I am only running Clen at it's full strength for approximately 2 weeks. Here's my own personal dosing schedule:

Day 1: 30mcg
Day 2: 60mcg
Day 3: 90mcg
Day 4: 120mcg
Day 5 to Day 23: 150mcg
Day 24 to Day 28: same as Days 1 to 4, but in reverse

Then I take 4 weeks off to give my receptors a rest... a COMPLETE rest. I take no ephedrine whatsoever inbetween these Clen cycles. Ephedrine is also a beta-2 agonist, so essentially, your receptors would be getting no rest whatsoever if you took ephedrine during your "off" time from Clen.

Perfect reason why, except the half life is 36-39hours ;) Why half-life didn't even come into my mind when giving my reply I have no idea. Feel dumb now lol

I like to start off with 4 weeks on then go to the 2 week on/off. Some people take Benadryl at night as well as the time off.

[St]

Ya well i go on it for 4 months at a time so beat that.;)
But seriouly i like to take it for 3-4 weeks at a time then 2 weeks off.

Stops working for me after 2 weeks, that's going up to 200mcg...I wish I could go 4 weeks :)

I cramp up at 120mcg unless I'm drinking a good 6l of water per day. As long as I do that I'm fine.

Are you taking Taurine, Potassium, and Magnesium when this cramping occurs?

Matt

[outshine]

any diet suggestions for clen? I've heard moderate carb, high protein, low fat works the best.

I'm on 80mcgs right now and am noticing some cramping , shaking, and a general lethargic feeling despite supplementing with taurine, potassium, and energy drinks.

How much Taurine/day, as well as the magnesium and potassium?

Matt

[outshine]

i don't take magnesium but have some laying around. I take twice the recommended dose of potassium (200mg) total but i realized that its only a fraction of the ~3,000mg rda.As for taurine i take one teaspoon 3 times a day mixed with my protein shakes/ crystal lite.
