Clenbuterol, also known as “clen”, is a heavily looked for, heavily used prescription drug that, although intended to treat asthma, is used in the bodybuilding world, both competitively and non-competitively, to was is believed as muscle building and fast fat burning. Jeff Everson, in a recent column in Planet Muscle magazine, answered a reader’s concerning the use of clenbuterol as a performance and physique enhancer. His reply is very revealing about this highly used, yet in an ignorant fashion, ergogenic aid.

In the column, in part, he writes, “Animal researchers years ago showed that clenbuterol had the rather odd action of working as a calorie nutrient-partitioning agent — in pigs! Without exercising activity, clen shifted calorie intake into more (preferential) muscle tissue, versus fat, in porcine and other livestock. But those of you raised on farms know that pigs grow huge muscle mass on corn, curds, whey and well…slop. Humans are not farm animals”.

Thank you Jeff Everson for telling like it is, and not simply being a “monkey see, monkey do” type of writer and bodybuilder. It’s amazing how because a handful of individuals took the results from some animal study, which in this case would really have no relevance to humans, ran with it, went above and beyond the truth, and recommended it as a huge weapon in holding on to hard earned muscle you’ve built through the use of weights on intense workout routines, while burning body fat fast…..and from there most bodybuilders followed along and used it without any further thought.

This quote is an excellent quote in which I agree with completely.
