I don't think any conclusion was really reached on the clenbuterol thread, it more or less just died out.
I've found that it has worked great for keeping unwanted fat at bay, but personally it doesn't do so much for maintaining strength levels. My hypothesis for this phenomenon is that the clenbuterol really removes excess water from your body in a hurry, and I wonder whether or not it discriminates from intramuscular water and extracellular water. What I mean by this is I always feel very flat while on clenbuterol, (or deflated if you prefer), yet at the same time it also tends to make my face look leaner. For me it tends to work as a reverse cell volumizer, ridding muscle cells of water and subsequent nutrient storage capabilities. As such I am uncertain as to whether I really like the substance too terribly much. On the one hand it does work to burn fat while cutting or keep off fat while in caloric excess, but on the other hand for myself it seems to be detrimental for strength gains/retention and while cutting feels like I'm losing too much muscle, although the muscle loss may in fact just be loss of intracellular water once again.
It sounds like your in much the same boat as I was awhile back, having lost bodyfat to extremes and reaching stickman status (I didn't know any better, I just saw the resulting leanness and was blind to how obscenely skinny I was becoming). My first cycle (embarked on before I was truly prepared) was a 1-ad cycle, I gained all of 7 pounds in 4 weeks, but a good portion of that was likely fat. Oh well, we're all here to learn and improve our knowledge/body composition, and I have zero problems helping out when I feel I can.
