Clenbuterol for fat loss: how long does a dose stay effective, should you stop it on a refeed, and what are the pros and cons? Coaches Andrew Berry and Scott McNally share their experience in a rapid-fire listener Q&A on Blood Sweat & Gear, starting with clenbuterol, albuterol, and yohimbine.

Plus, steroids and PEDs, growth hormone before a bodybuilding show, injectable DHT (stanolone), testosterone injection frequency, and female steroid side effects. We also tackle carb cycling, alcohol and bodybuilding, loose skin, muscle asymmetry, and practical coaching strategies for lifestyle clients.

Starting with a rough clenbuterol experience, we discuss mistakes we’ve made and why “bioidentical” doesn’t automatically mean safe. Then we cover GH and insulin resistance, berberine and metformin for insulin sensitivity, every-other-day growth hormone dosing, and questions about the supply of pharmaceutical GH.

Plus, unusually high IGF-1 levels, Skip’s experience with Increlex, a listener physique critique, and some behind-the-scenes TV talk.
