YMS Presents: The $4,000 Cut & Conditioning Challenge – Transform to Earn!

Today I had a little extra calories because I’ve been dropping weight faster than I want. Between last night and this morning, the scale was moving a bit too quick, so I bumped food up a bit. I definitely felt better in the gym because of it. My sleep wasn’t great — I usually try to get around eight hours, but I’ve got a lot going on right now and only got about five. Even with that, back day was pretty solid. I felt good, not crazy pumped, but the kind of good you want to feel going into a lift. Definitely better than yesterday.





Strength and energy are holding up pretty well so far, which I’m happy about. Hopefully it stays that way over these next eight weeks. Honestly, I’m excited to finish this cut and get into a good bulk so I can add some real size.

Keep it up man! Clen burns exactly an extra 350 calories a day.

Not exactly but roughly.


Clenbuterol can increase the resting metabolic rate by 10% to 50%, but there is no single, fixed number of calories it burns a week that applies to everyone. The exact amount depends on an individual's unique metabolism, body weight, dosage used, and activity level.
Clenbuterol's mechanism of action works as follows:
  • Increased Metabolism: It acts as a thermogenic substance, increasing core body temperature and boosting the overall resting energy expenditure.
  • Fat Oxidation: Studies in humans have shown it can increase fat oxidation by 39%.
    • Energy Use: The body uses stored energy, including fat and sugars, more readily when the metabolic rate is elevated.

While a study on human subjects found that clenbuterol increased resting energy expenditure by 21%, the study reported the baseline metabolic rate for the group as 1368 ± 153 kcal/day. A 20% increase from this baseline would equate to roughly 350 additional calories per day, or about 2,009 calories per week for those specific individuals.
Important Considerations:
  • Clenbuterol is not approved by the FDA for human use in the United States. It is only available by prescription for the treatment of asthma in some other countries.
  • The use of clenbuterol for weight loss or performance enhancement is typically at higher doses (e.g., 120-160 µg daily) than the therapeutic range, and is associated with significant health risks, especially at high doses.
  • The effects can vary widely from person to person.

Outstanding. Clen will help you burn 350 calories per day. No need to take high doses either. 40 to 60mcg is plenty.

Recap of macros for week 2. Down just over a lb. Bumped test up to 75mgx3 and will be moving Reta up to 1mg every 5 this week. Likely will increase cardio a tad as well to compensate for Turkey day :)

Love it. One of my close friends had great results with 1 mg of reta and never had to increase it. He lost a total of 27 pounds in 60 days.
