Clen catabolic?
ad
Wanting to try Clen, a few weeks after my bulking cycle. Maybe 3 weeks after PCT, but wanting to know if its going to kill my muscles? Is it anti catabolic or catabolic? I hear it is and i hear it isnt. Was only going to do around a 300 deficit.

its positively not anabolic in HUMANS, and maybe anti catabolic (wouldn't bet on it either way). I'd lean towards verrrrry slight anti catabolic properties due to its effects on beta receptors and subsequent catecholamine upregulation. there's a bunch of cattle/equine/sheep studies or whatever that show anabolism, but it means jack shit in humans who lack atypical beta-2 receptors that's really common in other animals.
Never understood why people consider it anabolic. The headaches, shakes, and general shitty feeling I get off it make it hard to concentrate and motivate myself to eat the way I need to.
Albuterol doesn’t cause those feelings in me though. Might want to try that.
Mate as far as I know it isnt anabolic, it is anti catabolic. There is a difference between the two buddy.
Thanks for the responses guys. I know I'm only a few weeks into my Test-E cycle, and will run Anavar at end of cycle. But I know at the end I'll have a tad bit of fat added on, I can already tell just a tad.

that one says similar things, but provides references to where the info in the article came from
edit
this article is by a guy with a PhD and it talks about clen, you've gotta buy the article for the full thing though.
thought somebody might find it interesting.

waltrthat could possibly be a reliable source, if only he had put the whole article up including where the citations for all those notes came from ;P
From what I heard with Clen it acts as if you were in a bigger deficit then you actually are. So thats why I only wanted to do 300 deficit. After my cycle I may hold 10-15 lbs that I want to lose. Which I will obtain from proper diet and exercise, but just thought I'd try adding Clen for 2 short cycles of 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.
I use it during all of my PCT's. It helps to give me that little boost of extra energy I need when feeling the "blue's" during PCT. I have never had it kill my muscles, the extra energy it gives I think helps my muscles by giving me that energy I need in the gym and to keep my intensity up. I have never heard it being catabolic. There is some debate whether it is anti-catabolic but that doesn't mean it is catabolic.
waltrat a 300 calorie deficit your body shouldn't be eating away at your muscles a whole lot anyway.
