    Using clen for 6-8 weeks

    I just read the profile for clen and it talked about running clen for 6-8 weeks using keto or benadryl every 3 weeks or so, and that cycling on and off every 2 weeks was no good.

    Why do so many people still preach cycling on/off and mixing in ECA? Who here has run clen for 6+ weeks using benadryl and what did your results look like? Any drop off after the first two weeks. Did you notice any significant anti-catabolic effects with the prolonged use?

    I'm not looking to gain, I'm just looking to avoid losing muscle while losing fat.

    My girlfriend ran it with benadryl just over 8 weeks combined with a reasonably low calorie diet, I believe she lost about 4 kg of fat.

    I haven't really worked with clen yet, but i plan to towards the end of my first cycle (i'm on week 5 of 12 as of now). I hear that it can have an anticatabolic effect and people seem to recommend taking it with your pct.

    i would not recommend taking ECA with clen however, because it uses the same receptors and these receptors need to rest and recover.... that's why people do 2 weeks on clen and 2 weeks off. if you use clen and then switch to ECA those receptors will never get to rest and you can wear out these receptors. i would suggest taking either clen or ECA, the choice is yours, however.

    good luck.

    I just finished an 8 wk run of clen with benadryl every 3rd week. These were my results/observations:

    1. "the shakes" subsided after the first 2 wks...either that or my body just got used to it
    2. the clen "cramps" disappeared the moment I took 2g Taurine per day
    3. The Benadryl worked to kickstart my metab on wk 3 and 6 after I was starting to "cool of"
    4. My resting BP was alway between 120/60 and 135/75, which was good, but by HR was always hovering in the 80s
    5. I was doing a cutter and I was able to shed 20lbs in 10 wks (first 2wks clen-less)...I'd say at least half that weight was water...clen makes me piss alot... BF went from about 25% to 11%
    6. I'm switching now to T3 for the final 4 wks of my cutting and it, along with the taurine, has stopped the clen rebound in its tracks
    7. Will resume clen for PCT, but this time, only for 3 wks
    8. Conclusion: I think I've lost a very small fraction of my LBM judging from my strength... my squat and bench press fell by only one rep for the same weight

    Thanks Insane, that's what I was looking for. Great info. Did you notice more weight loss up front or was it pretty steady and consistent? How much benadryl did you use?

    definitely more weight up front for the first 2 wks..cuz of all that water coming off...but it was steady for the remaining 6 weeks...which was good...took 50mg ED benadryl for the 3rd and 100mg ED for the 6th week

    cheers
