if you read any of the studies comparing clen and albuterol, Alby wins. When outweighing risks and results. Specifically for situations like yours, obviously competitive bodybuilders dont give a fuck lol. Sorry man, no sources - rules.
I guess you have a great point about the compounds people use n shit… but I highly reccomend alby over clen especially with your goals… actually thats a lie, i reccomend eca and diet/training lol. But anyways… heres some information…
REEEADDDDDD LOL
Some strength benefits…
Human studies have also shown increases in muscle mass following a regimen of
beta-agonist treatment [14-16]. Healthy males treated with slow release albuterol
for 14 days (16 mg/day) improved their quadriceps strength by 12% [14]. The
increase in strength remained 7 days following treatment. In the same study, the
strength of the hamstring muscles increased by 22% after 21 days of treatment.
Caruso et al. [17] also documented increases in strength following 16 mg/day of
albuterol treatment of healthy individuals. Unhealthy patients have been shown to
experience even greater benefits from beta-agonist treatment than healthy patients.
For example, orthopedic patients demonstrated a more rapid recovery following beta-
agonist administration [16]. Thus, all current evidence supports the view that
albuterol can be administered safely to humans to improve muscle strength and
mass.
Albuterol, like its closely related chemical cousin clenbuterol, is an asthma
medication that has been adopted by athletes and bodybuilders as an ergogenic aid.
Like clenbuterol, albuterol binds to the so called beta 2 adrenergic receptors found on
cells throughout the body. The beta 2 receptors on fat cells activate an enzyme
called hormone sensitive lipase. This breaks up stored fat into free fatty acids that
are able to then leave the fat cell and serve as a fuel source in other tissues. In
athletes the primary target of these fatty acids is working muscle. This is the familiar
process we know as lipolysis. Albuterol, like clen, is a potent lipolytic agent. But
simply freeing up fat is not enough. Unless the body can burn the extra FFA they will
simply be reincorporated into fat. Albuterol has the ability to elevate a person’s
metabolic rate so these FFA can be utilized for fuel. Numerous animal studies have
shown that clenbuterol increases both muscle size and strength; data supporting
these effects in humans are sparse. Albuterol on the the other hand has been shown
to significantly increase both strength and endurance in humans (1,2). As an added
benfit, albuterol lowers LDL and total cholesterol, while at the same time elevating
HDL, the “good cholesterol”: "Significant alterations (P < or = .02) were observed in
total cholesterol ([TC] -9.1% +/- 2.5%), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ([LDL-C]
- 15.0% +/- 2.9%), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ([HDL-C] +10.4% +/-
3.2%) concentrations, as well as the TC/HDL-C (-17.4% +/- 2.6%) and LDL-C/HDL-
C (-22.9% +/- 2.4%) ratios." (3) 4 mg of albuterol taken approximately 1 to 2 hours
before a workout allows for peak plasma levels to be reached during the training
session. Additionally the much shorter half life of albuterol compared to clenbuterol
allows one to benefit from its ergogenic effects during a training session but not
suffer the sleeplessness that many clenbuterol users experience. Moreover, the short
half life leads to much less beta 2 receptor downregulation than with clenbuterol,
allowing one to use the drug daily for longer periods of time. On the other hand, if
one is primarily interested in fat loss rather than performance enhancement, one
could take 3 or 4 multiple doses of albuterol throughout the day, always of course
cutting back if clenbuterol-like side effects are felt. 1 Bottle Of CEM Laboratories

Albuterol is a direct-acting sympathomimetic agent with a relatively selective action
on beta-2 adrenoceptors. Its main clinical use is obviously to treat asthma. Inhalers
would NOT yield the potential anabolic effects that pill form would (overall systemic).
From T-MAG–
â??I thought albuterol was almost not effective at all but it seems I was wrong:
There’s pretty compelling evidence that shows albuterol is just about as effective as
clenbuterol at increasing anabolism, with one exception: Albuterol is effective
at “clinically safe” doses (in man), and clenbuterol is not. In other words, in order to
achieve an anabolic effect from clenbuterol, you need to exceed its safety limits
(which is not necessarily dangerous or undesirable for us healthy bodybuilder types).
On the other hand, albuterol, at clinically safe doses, increases whole-body protein
content in rats by 20% in just three weeks! So it really does increase protein
synthesis.
Furthermore, there are several studies that show albuterol is effective at significantly
increasing power output and muscular endurance in man. Additionally, albuterol is
heart healthy, prevents muscle catabolism, and is a pretty darn good asthma
medicine to boot.
By all indications, albuterol should be effective for at least three to four weeks at
increasing muscle mass before you need a week off from use. And from a personal
experience, this bears out as well. I’ve had reasonably good success with albuterol,
and I suggest anyone who has access to the drug to give it a try.
I recommend 16 mg a day, taken in either two doses spaced 8-10 hours apart, or
four doses spaced about four hours apart. Go on cycles of 3-4 weeks on, one week
off.
Be careful about stacking other adrenergic agonists, like ephedra, with albuterol. If
you can tolerate the combination, go for it, but test it out first. The half-life of
albuterol is about five hours, so if the doses are too frequent, there’s a cumulative
effect that could get the better of you, sending your heart into an arrhythmia that
rivals the tempo of a hummingbird’s wings.
Just be aware that there are enormous tolerance differences between people. So
start out slowly with minimal doses until you get a handle on how your body reacts
to these compounds.
And regarding aspirin, bag the idea of using it for anything other than pain control.
Stacking it with stimulants is out of date and actually counterproductive.â??
By the way…Salmeterol is just anther type of Beta-2 agonist like Albuterol. They are
both generics. Albuterol is the generic form of Proventil and Ventolin. Salemeterol is
the generic form of Serevent. Clenbuterol is the generic name of Spirovent. The way
generic vs trade name works…a pharmaceutical company has a “patent” for 10
years on any med they invent. They can name it anything they want and sell it for
whatever they want, but they figure out a market price or else noone will buy it. But
the drug still has a generic name. This is the way they recoup their millions of dollars
on research. After 10 years other drug companies copy the drug and prices come
down because of competition.
