Dosage Albuterol
(Salbutamol)
This stuff is Clenbuterol's shorter acting brother. Essentially, it has all of the effects of Clenbuterol, but actually may be better for athletes. See, where Clen has a very long lasting effect in the body, Dosage Albuterol actually has a comparatively short active and Half-Life. Since we know that we can expect all of the fun fat-burning effects Clen has, when using Dosage Albuterol, let's take a look at some of the more interesting effects it's had on strength.
In one study, subjects performed 9 wk of isokinetic knee extensions twice weekly. Dosage Albuterol was given to one group, and placebo to the other, for 6 wks; groups received 16 mg.d-1 of either treatment, they were strength trained, and the results recorded. Anyway, making a long story short, the Dosage Albuterol group at both midtesting and post-testing had higher scores than the non-Albuterol group. These results give clear indications that even therapeutic doses of Dosage Albuterol administered with resistance exercise may augment strength gains above and beyond those experienced without Dosage Albuterol (2).
Anecdotally, Clenbuterol and Ephedrine have both shown themselves capable of temporarily increasing strength, and I would bet most beta-agonists have this effect, but I don't think has been shown as conclusively as it has been with Dosage Albuterol.
There've also been more than a few complaints of Clen causing athletes to lose their wind, especially those whose sports require a higher Vo2 max than most. Dosage Albuterol, perhaps due to its short Half-Life, may not have this deleterious effect (1) and therefore may actually be a more effective choice for athletes, though not bodybuilders, who can benefit from Clen's long-lasting lipolytic effect.
