Clomid and BodyBuilding Part 5

Clomid Dosing for Athletes

Clomid is only taken once a day. Experts in the field of body building suggest that it be used alone or in combination with low potency anabolic steroids. Most body builders take anabolic steroids for a few months and then switch over to Clomid. The Clomid provides the surge in testosterone and also prevents the development of breast enlargement. The exact timing of when to start Clomid is not known but it is recommended that once the steroid drugs are stopped, Clomid should be started within 7-10 days.

A great many athletes and body builders do take Clomid, but the selection of dosage is very variable. While the drug is not recommended for body building, the dose has been empirically worked out. Most bodybuilders take anywhere from 50-100 mg/day of clomiphene for a 2 week period. Some bodybuilders recommend increasing the dose to 100 mg/day if no effects are seen. After the third week, Clomid should be stopped. This cycling phase has been developed by past body builders.

Since no physicians recommend Clomid for body building purposes, it is hard to get proper medical advice on this drug. In any case, if you have doubts one may want to get advice from fertility experts who have the best knowledge about this drug.

The exact duration of Clomid is not known. There are no long-term data on the drug. In general one should avoid taking Clomid for pronged periods
