    How Long off Clen beffore cycling agian?

    How long would you recomend taking off from a 6 weeks cycle of Clen before starting another cycle? This is the only substance being taken. Inclulding no drinking etc for the durration of the cycle.

    Any Suggestions would be greatly appretiated!

    2 weeks on and 2 weeks off is the usual.. if your on for 6 weeks man how do you do it.. i doubt your getting near the gains you could with 2 on 2 off.. and when your off run a eca stack it works great with clen

    there is the benadryl theory too..you can take it during the 3rd week to upregulate your receptors..there are mixed views on that though..dont take ECA during the off period as it hits the same receptors as clen

    do you mean how long off clen before starting a cycle of gear? or you mean before starting clen again. There is no reason to wait to start a cycle of gear. As for starting clen again, never. Seriously though clen will downregulate your receptors so stoping for 2 weeks or taking benadryl is usually the rule of thumb. Personally I don't like clen and get minimal to zero benefits from it so I never use it.

    yeah clen is a beta 2 agonist..yes after about 2 weeks the receptors are saturated..usually people give it 2 weeks off to up regulate again..benadryl supposedly helps so you can stay on for 5-6 weeks..if you do the 2 week on 2week off..dont take ECA at it targets the same receptors as clen and they never get a chance to clear out

    Yeah, that is what I have been hearing. It seemed to work well for about 2 or 3 weeks and continued to get less and less effective. I think I will start the two on two off method.

    Do you think there is any wory of heart, liver or kidney damage from prolonged use?

    is there a reason for you wanting to use it for prolongs peroids of time? Dont you think you can acheive the goals you want by improving your diet and cardio training?

    Genetics buddy. I have a personal trainer 3 days a week and spin 3 days a week and take boxing classes. I run about 15 miles a week and eat like a bird. Everything has been accounted for and there is NO cheating. I am extreemly determined to not end up like my parents (400LBS).

    define eating like a bird..i believe with proper diet you wouldnt need clen as much as you think..there is such a thing as under eating too

    if u just got done with a 6wker then i would take min of 2wks off.
    and clen is a selective beta-2 agonist that stimulates adrenergic receptors of the sympathomemetic nervous system

    thats not the most ideal way to eat..thats more of a starvation diet..you need to eat small meals throughout the day to get and keep your metabolism up

    yeah a minimum of two weeks sounds ideal. cause you dont want to body to act like its a totally brand new substace when you restart your 2nd cycle.

    My heart is not beating hard at all anymore, I believe the receptors are all saturated and is not effective any more. I will take two weeks off and start the two on two off untill I reach a ideal weight.

    As for the starvation comment, I dont think you understand. My boyfriend is eating ALL DAY LONG! I just pick off his plate when he eats (7 meals a day). We both work from home so we have a ideal set up for cycling!

    personally when i run clen i do a happy medium between the 2wk on/off and the 6wk straight with benedryl every 3wks. i do 2wks on, and 1wk off with benedryl and repeat. you get the best of both worlds. and if one of them is wrong then im only half wrong.

    Do me a favor and read perfectbeasts clen handbook.....The two weeks on and two weeks does not have as good of an effect as running benedryl every third week. If you read the clen profile on steroid.com you will see this.

    Oh and using ECA stack on your two weeks off just lowers the receptors so when you go back on clen it is not longer effective....do research.

    ive read that ECA stack between clen cycles isn't the best thing to do, but would it be worthwhile to take another fat burner between clen cycles??? such as lipo6, hydroxycut etc.. one of those. as far as I know they don't have ephedra but most of them have a fair bit of caffeine. would this be worthwhile to take between a clen cycle??? or would it use beta receptors
    thanks guys happy juicing

    Can....im just finishing my first week on Clen and lemme tell you str8....leave any and everything alone that contains caffiene. dont fool with man. while on clen you already have the shakes and jitters most of the day. you dont need anything else that will stoke your metabolism.....thats unless your body reacts differently to it than miine.

  29. #29
    i wasnt looking to take it while ON clen, i was looking to take it during the 2 week off cycle. would it be worthwhile??? would it exhaust beta receptors (fat loss products that is-- hydroxycut, lipo6 etc etc.. ones WITHOUT ephedra)
