Okay ive been cutting pretty sloppy since about April 14th and i currently have lost 39lbs to date. I weigh 221lbs and im looking to be around 185ish. I workout 6 days a week and do a cardio session at the end of the day for an hour burning 1200-1500 calories depending on how hard i work. Ive been looking at clen for a while what are your guy's thoughts?

Bro,

With a good diet you can loose that extra weight. Cardio is not even needed that much. If you put on muscle, your body is burning more calories also in rest. The muscles that need to most calories to maintain, are created by squats.
Clenbuterol is:
anabolic (muscle building) after 8 days
effective 14 hours (thats why you should take it twice daily for optimal effect)
effect starts after 10-15 minutes
maximum effect after 2-3 hours
steady state after 4 days of an equal amount of tablets daily
take the tablets 12 days in a row after that every third day its is possible to take ephedrine on the clen-off days
It works counterproductive to reach a bodytemperature higher then 37.6 degrees celcius
(messure your bodytemperature (rectal) after 3 hours)

Have you ever seen a long distance runner? If that is your goal, do all the cardio you wish.

Otherwise, you need to employ circuits, complexes, and some HIIT into your workouts.

An article I just read:

Strength Train for Best Body Composition Results Now and Later

The muscle and body composition results you achieve now will be greater and last longer if you lift weights rather than perform endurance training. The Poliquin readership should already be well aware of this, but it?s always gratifying when new research supports what we?ve all known for years. A new study from Taiwan found that resistance training is more effective at building long-lasting lean body mass than endurance training.

Previously untrained individuals performed three training sessions a week, either a periodized resistance training program of ten exercises, or 30 minutes of treadmill running at an intensity of 70-85 percent of maximal heart rate. Not surprisingly, the endurance group (EG) had a greater increase in maximal oxygen uptake (an indicator of cardiovascular capacity) but the resistance training group (RG) also improved (EG by 17 percent, RG by 12 percent). Lean body mass increased 71 percent in the RG and they maintained significantly more muscle after six months of detraining (no lifting).

Take note that the EG increased lean mass by 12 percent after training, but this increase was only because they lost fat mass during the period. The EG actually lost half a kilo of muscle over the six month training period.

Only the RG group had gains in strength and hypertrophy with training, and they had a statistically insignificant trend toward reduction in body fat. After six months of detraining, the EG had lost the training gains with a return to pre-training body weight, body size and cardiovascular fitness. The RG lost its cardiovascular fitness but maintained some strength and lean mass, with higher than baseline values.

While greater cardiovascular gains can be made with endurance training, the overall benefits for body composition, strength, and long-term effects are considerably greater from lifting weights. Perform high-intensity interval sprints or circuit training in addition to a resistance training program to increase cardiovascular capacity without compromising your program.

Resistance training can also be used in preparation for a detraining period if you know you will have to be inactive from health issues such as surgery, or time constraints due to other priorities such as family, work, or travel.
