How did you run it?
Was it worth it from a benefit to sides ratio?
Overall is it a yay or nay for ya?
I haven’t had a great experience with it in past, was very shakey, but it’s been a while. My coach wants me on it (idk what protocol yet) for last 7ish weeks of cut.

I love Clen for a fat loss phase. I’ve tried up to 100mcg and that was absolutely awful I regret every pushing up to dose. I’m currently on 60mcg and found that to be my “sweet spot” and won’t be pushing past that. Supplement with taurine upwards of 6 grams per day ( I just get 1 gram capsules off amazon) stay on top of your hydration and electrolyte intake and you’ll be in for a good time. Like others have said here too start at 20mcg and every 2 weeks bump up another 20mcg and see how you tolerate it.
I'm currently running 80mcg a day just bumped up from 40mcg this week. My sleep isn't amazing but I'm generally putting that down to the tren as I didn't run clen on my last cut and it was trash back then too haha.
I normally split my dosage 40mcg first thing in the morning and another around the 1pm mark and no issues. Sometimes I forget in the morning so bang in 80mcg all at once around 1pm. Best not to do this if you pin glutes close to that time as I found out the other day as I couldn't hold the needle still when lining up where to pin!!
What is it that clen does to a physique that makes it so appealing Is it to dry you out so you don’t have to do as much cardio
I ran low dose a frw weeks. I couldnt sleep on it. Or was that the tren lol. I ran warm af on it. Non stop sweat.
Fk no. You're risking heart valve damage. Eca is harsh too but imo better if properly done.
Why coach pushing that? What's your stats and goals? Tren 75....mast 50...prop 25 every day is plenty as long as you work the carbs right. Low carbs and you flatten out immediately. Plus carb raise body temp slightly...hence we sweat like a whore in church. That temp raise modified the diet 10% .
What's the full story? If you're lean cut....fuck all that noise....dhb 400 with test 250...mast 250 and visually change quickly.

I got you 100%, brother, but have in mind that high-performance bodybuilding isn’t healthy in any form or fashion.
Nobody gets stage lean without going through some level of depletion, fatigue, stimulants, and eventually a peak week process. The only thing that changes is how conservative or aggressive the approach is.
There’s really no free lunch when you’re chasing extreme conditioning.
Also, @Petecastiglione is about 7-8 weeks out from a comeback show. I’m pretty sure he knows exactly what he’s getting into.
I think he’s just looking for different perspectives and experiences, which is always a smart thing to do.
Just under 9 weeks out. Yes I love to listen, I’ll always be a learner
Was fully sponsored ages ago. I know sacrifice. Sacrifice vs mass loss comes into play. In the adv users page I got a member here onto the Olympia stage...repeat top 10. Hes returning to Olympia again.... Many ways to skin cats.
I got you 100%, brother.
And honestly, I always notice your comments tend to focus on protecting the impulsive or less experienced guys, especially when it comes to dosages and stimulants.
That’s a good thing.
Clearly your advice reflects the experience you’ve built over the years.
It’s always nice to hear your perspective as well.
Now, that’s obviously not the case with Pete. He’s an experienced competitor and knows exactly what he’s signing up for.
But like you said, there are many ways to get there. Personally, I’d rather have a conservative coach. At the end of the day, there’s still life after the competition, and health matters too.
Agreed. I always read you and @Jockstrap reply/post. I'm a newbie don't do very much or get to far out side the lines. But learning can ever hurt.
For competition or it wouldn’t be considered for me at all
Ok....guess your stacks already on point. I ran clen at 20mcg with cup of coffee. Upped to 40. The coffee added boost and tons of sweat. 60 was my peak. I preferred because for less shakes.
I haven’t run it since 2013… but I did a supplement split. Week A was clen 20mcg Week B ephedrine/caffeine. I did that for eight weeks with awesome weight loss. I don’t think I ever went over 40mcg a day
Big Bro…
Just like @SeeOhShow said… 20mcg increments every 2 weeks is actually the same approach I’ve used every time I’ve run Clen. (I like to run it for about 8 weeks.)
In my experience, most of the horror stories come from people ramping it up way too fast. If you’re getting crazy shakes, anxiety, or feeling like your heart is about to jump out of your chest, you’re probably pushing the dose faster than your body can adapt.
Another tip for everyone reading this…
Side effects are NOT confirmation that the Clen is working.
A lot of guys don’t feel shaky, sweaty, wired, or anxious, so they immediately assume the dose is too low and start increasing it aggressively. In my opinion, that’s a mistake.
Your body needs time to adapt. Personally, I find the sweet spot is increasing the dose every couple of weeks, even if only slightly, and evaluating progress rather than chasing side effects.
I also like adding Ketotifen before bed after 3-4 weeks. Whether it’s truly necessary or not is always debated, but I’ve found it useful when running Clen for longer periods.
On top of that, I stay on top of hydration, electrolytes, magnesium, potassium-rich foods, and at least 1-1.5 gallons of water daily. That alone seems to prevent a lot of the cramps and discomfort people complain about.
For me, Clen is a “yay” when used conservatively. The benefit-to-side-effect ratio gets much worse when people start treating it like more is always better.
So….if you’re working with a coach, I’d follow his lead. If you trust your coach, trust the process. If you don’t trust him, then honestly I’d find a coach whose approach aligns more with your philosophy.
I’ve seen successful prep coaches use Clen only during the final few weeks, and I’ve seen others run it nearly the entire 16-18 week prep. Personally, the longer protocols aren’t my favorite, but there are plenty of roads to the same destination.
Just a thought, my bro !
Always love ur input bro
So if you’re getting shakes it’s because you went up too fast. The anabolism part desensitizes but the Beta-2 receptor for fat loss is still there. I did 20mcg increments every 2 weeks and never had cramps, shakes, or any negative side effects. I also take it with nebivolol since that’s Beta-1 specific blocker, so in theory protects the heart impacts from the clen.
Jrihard89Can I DM you
I feel like i havent heard anyone running clen since... all the peptides got popular and all the kids are running the Clavicular stimulant stacks. Im not a fan of stimulants except occasionally to F a B on. Clen is like instant anxiety for me.
Althought I do have some ive been saving for no reason in particular. Ill take it one day.
I get weird anxiety on speed. I usually jumped on it to break a plateau.
I also am not a fan. Starbucks also messes me up BAD. Greenies not so much.
Jrihard89On it rn. Love it with 25mcg t3.
I start with 20mcg morning and about 2pm another 20mcg. Start at 40mcg and over 3 weeks run that then I up to 20mcg morning, 20 at 2pm and 20 at 7pm. I don’t go past 60mcg don’t need to.
When I waje up and take the first dose I down it with 40oz water mixed with electrolytes, an extra pill of magnesium, potassium pill and add 3g of taurine in.
At the 2pm dose I do another electrolytes power in 40oz water with 2g taurine. 1 99mg potassium pill too.
It’s phenomenal, don’t cycle the 2 on 2 off. It’s a waste of time. It’ll work not as efficiently but more coming off.
Start low. And taurine makes the biggest difference. Don’t take more than 20mcg at a time. It’ll take away the sides you’re scared of!
Dm me anything more and I got ya bby.
Jrihard89My fav electrolyte powder https://a.co/d/0dkHSe6w
They're my favorite brand for just about everything. Only flavor I didn't like so far was the orchard.
I am actually using that and a ton of aminos with my GH and Lr3 right now
I run this same electrolyte powder daily, I put like 3 scoops into a gallon of spring water and just drink on that throughout the whole day.
What flavor
The blue razz
Jrihard89Blue Raz is my fav! Super good tbh!
I use the non caffeine pump product. Going to grab this. THA ks
Jrihard89Of course! I use their pre too sometimes! On days I don’t need a little extra. Their pre is super clean
On days I do I got some crazy high stim stuff.
I’ve ran it many times but only ever up to 80MCG typically titrating up 20mcg- 4 days 40- 4 days 60 4 days 80 - 8 days and done then take 2 weeks off and run it again. Mild speed feelings.. don’t hate it.
Man I see soo many of these guys on clen having abs popping without even posing… I have yet to try it BUT MAN it’s soooo tempting can’t wait to hear what the people with experience have to say
Yea exactly, want to hear the inputs
