People in the gym need an easy way to get things done quickly. Patience is not an element that everyone has, so whatever the goal, you always try to find a shortcut. One of the most demanded anabolic substances in the fitness world for this shortcut is the Clenbuterol. It is an anabolic substance that helps with fat loss, but has many negative effects on the body. However, it seems that people only keep that it helps to burn fat and do not stop to think that it is a harmful element in health.
In this article, we are going to explain what clenbuterol is, what effects it has on health and how it works in the body.
People looking for shortcuts
Formerly in gyms you only saw people preparing for bodybuilding. People who were big, muscular and who used drugs for competitions, with more veins than lanes a highway has. However, with fashion and the arrival of "fitness", new profiles have been born that we find ourselves in the gym. We meet the young people who want to gain muscle mass quickly to show off a great body in summer, the middle-aged woman who is overweight, but does not want to exercise and lose weight quickly and the one who wants to compete "natural", but ends up going to the doping substances.
All of these people have in common that they want a quicker and easier goal than going natural. To do this, they look for clenbuterol on the black market, since it is not legal for being a drug that has dangerous substances for the organism.
Clenbuterol is nothing more than a bronchodilator that helps with respiratory problems for those who have asthma, allergies, or pneumonia. It is an adrenergic receptor agonist drug that is used to treat asthma and bronchitis, both asthmatic and spastic. As it is a drug, the doses have to be prescribed by a doctor to get the muscles to relax and breathe well.
However, if we look at the definition of clenbuterol in the RAE we find the following: "Anabolic substance used for artificial fattening of cattle and doping of athletes ”.
This leads us to think that a legend has been born around this product or that it has been used for another effect. Let's see it in more detail.
How does it work
The key to this product is the versatility of its use. It can serve as a bronchodilator as it has the ability to relax the muscles. However, it also has anabolic properties. These properties help to gain muscle mass and have thermogenic effects, where the body temperature increases and causes more calories to gas at rest.
With a higher caloric expenditure, fat loss is much easier. These are the properties that have made clenbuterol famous. Everything that has gone into this product comes from the main goals of fitness and your need to do it faster and easier: gain muscle and lose fat.
In the 60s, cattle began to be given in the final phase of breeding for greater fattening, after discovering these anabolic properties. This business continued until the effects they had on people who ate clenbuterol-fed animals were seen. Were produced arrhythmias, tachycardias, cramps, tremors, increased perspiration, insomnia, hypertension, muscle spasms, etc.
Later, in 1990, the first case of toxicity from this product was registered in Asturias. The figure increased until 1996, when it was decided to ban it throughout Europe. Since that year, the fattening of animals through the use of these drugs is totally illegal. Currently there are various controls in both athletes and livestock to avoid clenbuterol.
In cyclists we also find some advantages of resistance and power in those who consume it, so the anti-doping control tries to avoid this type of situation.
Clenbuterol in gyms
In gyms you find numerous people in the locker room capable of supplying you with doping substances. Even many times it is the same monitors that do it. What is said in gyms is that "either you cycle, or you are nobody." It is true that naturally it is very difficult to achieve a physique that you like. But that's where the challenge lies. Having a great body at the cost of your health does not help at all and has nothing of merit. Self-worth is sticking with your diet and exercise plan, being consistent, and training hard on your own. Whatever you get, the long-term happiness it brings you is immense. Also, you know that you are gaining in health and not losing.
Clenbuterol is no longer sold even in pharmacies. It can be taken in pills and they make you feel powerful, strong and never exhausted. However, many people who take it tend to say that if you start with heavy doses you feel like your heart explodes. This product cannot be compared to a medicine, since it is not the same. The doses you take for the gym are much higher than those that would be recommended in case of having a respiratory disease. For this reason, those who take it often get sweats, arrhythmias and tremors.
One of the effects feared by them is that it creates tolerances, so you have to take more and more to get the same effect.
Why do they want to take it?
The most common are the boy who has put on weight and wants to look good in the summer or the middle-aged woman who is overweight and does not want to exercise. Keep in mind that clenbuterol is as if you put a car at a thousand revolutions but you do not start it. It is useless to take it if you do not move, exercise, follow a diet, etc.
If you still have to do everything, why do you want to harm your health by taking a shortcut? How important is the opinion of the rest about your physique? It is best to be healthy and do it naturally. You will see that your body appreciates it in the long run.
