When it comes to cutting agents for a bodybuilding show, there are
usually only two words that come to mind: ECA and Clen. ECA is the
easy, legal solution for weight loss used by many beginner and
intermediate bodybuilders when preparing for a show. Advanced
bodybuilders (top level NPC and professional athletes) will often use
ECA in conjunction with Clenbuterol for an incredibly synergistic fat
loss effect. Both are viable options, but Clenbuterol should only be
used once ECA is no longer adequate to reach desired body fat levels.
The basics
Clen was originally designed for treatment of lung ailments, including
asthma. Athletes soon discovered that taking it led to bigger muscles
and lower body fat, simply put. Scientifically, Clen makes the use of
oxygen in the bloodstream more efficient. In real life terms for
bodybuilders, this translates to lessened muscle atrophy, greater body
mass, and faster burning of stored body fat. Clen is a favorite among
top amateur bodybuilders, and the majority of professional
bodybuilders to employ it to some degree leading up to a show,
typically stacked with ECA.
Risk & Reward
Clenbuterol is a very anabolic drug. Its positive effects are felt
almost immediately, which means that the foundation for side effects
begin almost immediately as well. Short term, the user may feel
overheated, nauseous, shaky, and anxious. The longer term side effects
of clen use primarily include heart arrhythmia, heart failure, and
heart damage. It makes the system move faster, and the heart is
definitely part of the system. Clen should never be taken year-round.
Bodybuilders should only consider clen for short-term use, to lose
bodyfat immediately before a show.
Bottom Line
If you're new to bodybuilding or competing in a local NPC level show,
you are probably not in a position to be ready for Clenbuterol. ECA is
definitely the compound you should be utilizing at this time. As your
competition bodyweight approaches 220 (240+ off-season) and you've
peaked for four or more shows, it might be time to add Clen to your
pre-season regimen.
