Since Clenbuterol has been used for cutting and muscle gain for years, people have found different ways of taking it.
For average users or those starting with this stimulant, taking only clen is recommended.
But this chemical is often not enough for bodybuilders to get genuinely shredded. This is why they stack this with Anavar.
Whether you are a professional, amateur, or beginner user, you can choose between the two most common Clen cycles:
Clenbuterol On/Off Cycle
The on/off cycle is the most commonly used cycle for dosing on Clen or other anabolic steroids.
In this cycle, you take the substance to be ‘on’ it for a set period. After this, you get ‘off’ the substance for a similar duration by not taking it.
Most people consider 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off to be acceptable.
The most viable theory behind this is to give your body and hormone levels time to reset themselves.
Some people also do the same with 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off approach.
Here’s an example of a 2 week on/off cycle for Clen:
| On/Off Cycle | Men (in mcg) | Women (in mcg) |
| Day 1 | 20 | 10 |
| Day 2 | 40 | 20 |
| Day 3 | 60 | 35 |
| Day 4 | 80 | 50 |
| Day 5 | 100 | 65 |
| Day 6 | 100 | 75 |
| Day 7 | 120 | 80 |
| Day 8 | 140 | 100 |
| Day 9 | 140 | 100 |
| Day 10 | 140 | 100 |
| Day 11 | 140 | 80 |
| Day 12 | 80 | 50 |
| Day 13 | 60 | 34 |
| Day 14 | 20 | 10 |
| Day 15-Day 24 | Off | Off |
Clenbuterol Continuous Cycle
The continuous cycle is as the name suggests, continuous. This cycle requires you to increase your Clen dosage every week or two slowly.
This is continued until you reach the maximum safe dosage.
At this point, you slowly reduce the dosage to zero. A two-week break is recommended when one cycle is completed to allow your body to center itself.
The most common continuous cycle lasts for 14 weeks.
Here’s an example of a 14-week continuous cycle for Clen:
| Continuous Cycle | Men (in mcg) | Women (in mcg) |
| Week 1 | 20 | 10 |
| Week 2 | 20 | 20 |
| Week 3 | 20 | 45 |
| Week 4 | 40 | 60 |
| Week 5 | 60 | 70 |
| Week 6 | 80 | 85 |
| Week 7 | 100 | 100 |
| Week 8 | 120 | 100 |
| Week 9 | 140 | 100 |
| Week 10 | 140 | 100 |
| Week 11 | 140 | 100 |
| Week 12 | 140 | 100 |
| Week 13 | 80 | 40 |
| Week 14 | 40 | 20 |
| Day 15-Day 24 | Off | Off |
Clenbuterol Cycle Myths
Most people think that cycling the substance slowly is to avoid a backlash.
However, I have found this to waste time and energy for the user.
According to my findings, you can step up your dosage to maximum over the weeks like in the continuous cycle.
After this, instead of slowly weaning off it, immediately drop to your base usage for a period before getting ‘off.’
This method allows less waste of resources and maximum performance boost but should not be used by first-timers.
