I've read two opposing statements. One that clenbuteral helps sustain muscle mass under restricted cals and one that you lose mass easier. Anyone one have a clarity on this one?

hey dudes, come on, someone out there must know. Throw the old boy a bone.
Clen helps maintain muscle while dieting. And my experience is that even while restricting carbs during clen supplementation, my strength went through the roof. I noticed anabolic effects from clen, and even my girlfriend said that my chest and arms were getting fuller. 3 cheers for AR Clen
I was just reading from the clen handbook (I think in the educational thread section) that the anabolic aspects of clen is not applicable to humans. Anabolic effect was found in animals but not humans. What you noticed may be impacted by expectations. That is, if you expect an anabolic effect, you will notice an anabolic effect. For me, the jury is still out on this question because I'm hearing it both ways. I appreciate your response.

Make sure to have those too along w/ your clen and you'll be riding clean
I would like to add taurine with the clen at 3-5g ED. Clen depletes taurine levels and this can lead to muscle cramping and a rebound effect when going off.Quote:
