Equipoise

Equipoise Buy Equipoise Equipoise (Boldenone Undeclynate), or "EQ" is one of the most widely used compounds by athletes today. Even though it is a vetrinary steroid, the quality of production is quite high due to its use in rather expensive animals. It is one of the safest and most effective steroids used today, by athletes, power lifters and bodybuilders. It can effect slow and continuous muscle mass and strength gains over a prolonged period, and generally cycles with this drug tend to be quite long because of this fact. Gains on a cutting cycle including Eq tend to be high quality lean mass, while bulking cycle gains with Eq aren't as "clean" but still have a very nice quality about them. This could be due to Eq's resistence to being converted to Estrogen, as well as DHT (technically, it converts to Dihydroboldenone). Equipoise has become much more popular in recent years since dosages hit 200mg/ml Men get good results from a 300-600mg weekly total. In the past, this included utilizing an every other day (EOD) injection schedule, because Eq was only available in very low concentrations (50-100mgs/ml). Recently, companies like British Dragon have begun offering Boldenone in a much higher concentration (200mgs/ml) making injections much easier. Women have made excellent progress with dosages of 50-100mg total weekly doses, and this usually means a 1 injections weekly schedule. Women as a rule, seem to prefer less scar-tissue build up than men are comfortable with. In this dose range, women almost never report virilizing side effects, and usually only experienced an elevated libido. Increased hair growth on face and legs is, of course, possible (though not probable).. Liver toxicity is not an issue with Boldenone, and it can be used for long times on either a bulking or cutting cycle, very safely. It has a reputation for appetite and red blood cell production stimulating effects, and this makes it very nice for a bulking cycle. Obviously with increased red blood cell count an increase in oxygen transport was also realized, as was improved nutrient transport, making less food become more efficient...a very nice effect for a cutting cycle. Athletes generally stacked Boldenone with testosterone and Anadrol for mass cycles. Dianabol, due to it's close resemblance to Eq chemically, is not usually used interchangably with Anadrol in cycles containing EQ (a rare exception). Cutting, or pre-contest cycles including Boldenone often include Trenbolones, Winstrol. With the afforementioned drugs, an anti-estrogen is generally not necessary.

Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate)

Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) Buy Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) Nolvadex is a drug commonly referred to as an anti-estrogen. This would suggestless or no estrogen is produced due to the drug's actions as in the case of Teslac. Actually,Nolvadex is an estrogen antagonist, meaning it competes with estrogen at estrogenreceptor- sites. This prevents the active estrogen from entering its receptor and creatingan estrogenic complex capable of activity. Since many AAS aromatize (covert toestrogen) to some degree, the control of feminizing side effects (males should payattention here) is important. Males normally have a very low estrogen level. During AAScycles, due to aromatization, estrogen levels rise considerably. This elevated estrogenlevel can cause feminizing side effects such as increased fat deposits, water retention, andgynecomastia (growth of breast gland tissue and painful tumors under the nipple). As arule, it is more the ratio of androgens-to-estrogens than the simple increase in estrogenthat actually initiates feminizing side effects. It is important that the reader realizes that Nolvadex does not decrease estrogenproduction and that it simply blocks estrogen receptors. For this reason the suddendiscontinuance of Nolvadex will allow the increased level of circulating estrogen tomerge with the newly freed receptors and do feminine things to the body. "Enter Proviron". At the end of a steroid cycle, the body's natural testosteroneproduction can be impaired. Due to the aromatization of the AAS estrogen levels aresignificantly higher than normal and Nolvadex only helps by blocking the estrogenreceptors. If an athlete abruptly ends an AAS protocol without regeneration of the HPTAunder these conditions, much of the hard earned gains would disappear due to estrogenbecoming the dominant hormone. So what did the boys (that didn’t want to be a girl) do? Proviron is an anti-estrogen (*See "Proviron" for more info) that helps to preventestrogen production while elevating androgen levels. During the last week of an AAScycle, some male bodybuilders began a HCG protocol (*See HCG) and administered 25-mg Proviron/10-20-mg Novladex 1-2 times daily. This was commonly noted to almostcompletely suppress post-cycle estrogen and its activity. Since Nolvadex increases thebody's own testosterone production, as does HCG, much of the cycle gains were retainedquite well. Nolvadex has a direct effect on the hypothalamus and therefore increases therelease of Gonadotropic hormones to a minor degree. (The hormones that tell the Leydigcells in the testes to produce androgens such as testosterone are refereed to asGonadotropics) Many added Clomid (*See Clomid) to their post-cycle stacks beginning6-10 days after HCG and continued for the average reported two week duration. In mostcases the result was athletes with normal (or above) sex drive and androgen production! * High dosage use of Nolvadex can inhibit natural testosterone production. This is due toinhibition of enzymes needed for testosterone production by the testes. Nolvadex was normally layered into any protocol utilizing high aromatizing steroids suchas testosterone, Dianabol, or those that are progesterone receptor stimulators such asAnadrol-50. Those who were prone to high fat deposits, water retention, and gynoconsistently reported inclusion of Nolvadex. Many are were to obtain excellent estrogenicactivity suppression with only 10-mg daily while others noted the need for as much as60-mg daily (20mg 3 times daily). The best results and guidelines were obtained bystarting low and increasing dosages only when necessary. It is important for the reader to realize that AAS must have some estrogen presentin order to achieve their full positive potential effectiveness and provide the bestcommonly desired results. This is why many AAS lose their anabolic qualities whencombined with anti-estrogens. It is also why Methandriol magnifies the effects of thesame AAS. Those who used high anabolic/moderate-low androgenic steroids such asnandrolones, Primobolan, or Winstrol, and did not combine them with high aromatizingsteroids (such as testosterone) often considered not using Nolvadex during cycles the bestchoice when increased mass was the primary intent. Women who used Nolvadex usually did so because it aids in fat loss due to lessestrogenic activity. I have yet to see a female compete whom was able to achieve trulycut legs with out it. Women athletes often combined 10-20mg of Nolvadex with 50-75mgProviron daily for the last few weeks of dieting. Due to availability of Clenbuterol,Proviron dosages were reported lower as of late, at least in female fitness competitors.Women should be aware that birth control is an estrogen and Novladex will block itseffectiveness. Women have note irregular menstrual cycles, weaker menstrual bleeding,and sometimes skip periods all together during Nolvadex use. I know several women whouse Nolvadex for this reason and can not say I disagree with their choice. After all, theuse of progestin type birth control as a means of regulating or even stopping menstruationis becoming accepted in the medical circles at last. A few athletes have experienced a paradox when using high dosages of Nolvadex.Instead of lowering estrogenic activity, it increased it. What happened was that theAdrenal glands went into over drive producing a pro-hormone called DHEA. DHEA isactually an adrenal androgen normally secreted in lower levels. As circulating levelsincreased enzymic factors came into play. Research shows DHEA readily converts intoandrostenedione, and to some extent, estrogens in males. (That sucks!) The femaleendocrine system usually favors testosterone production from converted DHEA orandrostenedione. The newly formed estrogen then overwhelmed the estrogen receptorsblocking the intended qualities of Novladex. In this case, Proviron, and especially Teslacwhere notably better choices. *Gyno that fails to react to these drugs normally must be removed by surgery. DHTderivatives can cause increases endogenous estrogen production also in some individuals.Cytadren was a commonly co-administered drug with Nolvadex. Reported Characteristics Active-Life: Less than 24 hours Drug Class: Anti-estrogen/estrogen antagonist (Oral) Average Reported Dosage: 10-30-mg daily Acne: None Water Retention: No High Blood Pressure: Rare (not normally attributed to the drug itself) Liver Toxic: Yes

Human Growth Hormone (GH)

Human Growth Hormone (GH)
Buy Human Growth Hormone (GH) - Click Here
Human Growth Hormone (GH) has been a subject of debate since I was a kid.Natural (endogenous) GH is produced by the pituitary gland. Children produce 2 i.u."spurts" 4-7 times per day for 4-5 non-consecutive days during a 2-3 week period (duringgrowth spurts). That would equal 32-70 i.u. in only a 4-5 day span. A healthy adult'spituitary releases only 0.5-1.5 i.u. daily.
GH has quickly become a very popular product for athletes looking to reach the top level Until the mid 1980's, the only available form of exogenous (occurring outside thebody) GH was manufactured by taking the pituitary glands of dead corpses (like there area lot of "live" corpses running around?) and grinding them up. (I am not joking!). TheGH was then extracted and purified through a series of expensive procedures, packed andsold by prescription only for use by children suffering from stunted growth. About 1987,this form of GH was linked to a fatal brain disease called CREUTZFELD-JAKOBDISEASE, and removed from the market.
Enter Genetech and synthetic GH. The first synthetic GH was produced bygenetically altering transformed mouse cells /Ecoli. Natural GH has a 191 amino acidsequence where as the Protropin brand of GH produced by Genetech contains 192 aminoacids in its sequence. This may have the affect of causing the body to produce GH antibodieswhich deactivate the GH. Most synthetics now contain the normal 191 amino acidsequence, of which there are over a dozen available today.
GH has 3 effects any athlete desires: GH helps the body burn more adipose (fat)tissue by promoting the release of fatty acids to be used as energy. Normally at rest, thebody uses about an equal division of fat and carbohydrate calories. When the endocrinesystem senses a low circulatory level of glucose, the hypothalamus-pituitary-axis (HPA)reacts by releasing GH. The GH then triggers (through a series of enzymic/chemicalreactions) the release of fatty acids from adipose stores so metabolic energy requirementscan be met. This means exogenous GH administration has been well documented to dothe same.
GH has a very potent anabolic (protein synthesis/tissue building) effect. Inexerting anabolic effects, it can cause both hyperplasia (an increase in the number ofmuscle cells) and muscular hypertrophy (the enlargement of muscle cells). This change incell number is permanent and therefore means more cells to make bigger. GH also has ananabolic effect on soft tissues such as tendons, cartilage, and other connective tissue. Thismeans old injuries repair and strength increases due to stronger connective tissue… bothat an accelerated rate. It is a well known fact that GH is a powerful anti-catabolic agent(protein sparing). This effect has allowed modern bodybuilders to retain or even addsignificant lean mass tissue during calorie restricted periods (cutting phases) and becomethe shredded monsters of the new era.
When using GH many athletes were less than satisfied with their results. Mostlikely this was because they bought bogus GH. It was common to find GH for a hard-corepro bodybuilder cost about $35,000 or more, yearly. To test GH, most simply bought apregnancy test kit, mix a vial of (hopefully) GH and place a drop or two in the test area.If the test result was “pregnant”..they had been screwed. Most pregnancy test kits test forelevated gonadoltropins (which HCG is and GH is not). For those few, whose bodiesmanufactured GH anti-bodies (and GH failed to work for you) sorry about your luck. GH,used properly, has overwhelmingly been renowned as a genetic equalizer if used for thatpurpose.
Any polled athlete chose to use GH as a performance enhancing drug should havefirst understand at least the basics of its actions.
GH itself is not responsible for the majority of the effects seen from GH use.Actually GH is only a precursor to the so-called "good stuff". When GH passes throughthe liver, it is converted into INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTORS (such as IGF-1).IGF-1 is a very active but unstable chemical, which is why the body waits until the lastsecond to make it naturally. The liver has a limited capacity to convert excess GH intoIGF-1 unless other chemical hormone levels are also elevated. Insulin, T-4/T-3 thyroidhormones, gonadotropins, androgens/anabolic hormones, and even estrogen andcorticosteroids all play an important role in the positive effects of GH. So they too wereoften exogenously elevated in what was considered “the correct ratios” by the largest ofthe self administering athletes. For the liver to convert high levels of GH to IGF-1 severaltimes a day and cause a high quality anabolic response, it was commonly noted that T-3thyroid hormone and insulin also needed be increased to accomplish the desired effect.
Triacana may be strong enough to increase thyroid activity, but Cytomel was consideredto be a better choice. Though some seemed to disagree, most emphatically believed that afast-acting insulin such as HUMULIN-R or Humalog was a better and safer choice ofexogenous insulin since they allowed better timing and have a much shorter effectiveperiod. This allowed the athletes to time insulin activity with the active period of GH atthe optimum absorption times such as upon waking and the first few hours after a workout.The result was less chance of fat accumulation and a heightened anabolic response.Since GH suppresses natural T-3 thyroid hormone release, the exogenous administrationof Triacana or Cytomel allowed for an elevated calorie intake that was utilized more forbuilding muscle and soft tissue than for adipose tissue storage. Many pro bodybuildersused Clenbuterol and/or ephedrine stacks with GH while dieting. Since Clenbuterol and Ephedrine both suppress natural insulin release, they usually stacked the GH and Clenbuterol /Ephedrine with a synthetic T-3 thyroid hormone and sometimes with insulinas well. The use of insulin was dependent upon whether it was a bulking or dieting phaseand depending on how their body responded to exogenous insulin use.
*I can not stress enough how dangerous insulin use can be. Comas and death are quitepossible if used wrong. If you wish to use it, please see a doctor for monitoring.AAS and/or Clenbuterol further enhance the anabolic effects of GH. From all buta few polled it was reported that excellent muscle mass gains resulted with the use of GHwhen other chosen hormone levels were also met (*also see "cycles") and one couldafford it. Also, beware of fake GH. It is more common than you may realize. It is anillegal drug and the black market is not always honest.
The question of dosage was a big one. For the purpose of stunted growthmanufacturers of GH (due to pituitary hyophysially caused stunted growth) state 0.3 i.u.weekly per LB of body weight. So for a 235 LB bodybuilder that would equal 70.5 i.u.weekly, meaning a daily total of about 10-i.u. However, even 2-3i.u. daily did producesome nice results over a 6-8 week period when the other reported hormone requirementswere met as well. Short high dosage burst cycles too were noted to create these results(which will be discussed later) by the more elite of those polled.*GH is medically administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously (under the skin).*When multiple injections were utilized, I personally noted better results withsubcutaneous administration.
*1-mg=2.7 i.u. of GH and some products are listed as such.With exception of those few whose insert states otherwise, the dry unmixed GHsubstance maybe stored at room temperature. Once the solution has been mixed with thedry GH powder, (SWIRLED, DO NOT SHAKEN) the mixture must be refrigerated andlasts for 24-hours before it begins to degrade. An interesting product has becomeavailable called DEPO-NUTROPIN that has an active-life of about a month. This wouldallow for fewer injections and a reduced price. Also, several patents run out thisyear so many overseas and less expensive GH preparation will soon be available in theU.S. by prescription only.
*Though no negative side effects were reported, the available literature does listseveral serious ones: Kidneys and heart enlargement, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroidhormone deficiency, and acromegaly. For the most part, they are rare to say the least andusually would be from extreme dosages and lengths of cycles. But like most hormones, youjust do not know until it is a fact for you. Kind of scary, huh?When GH was utilized with an insulin protocol, it was considered important tospace injection periods between GH and insulin about an hour. Also if GH was utilizedonly twice daily, it was reported best to avoid natural high points of GH release such asfirst thing in the a.m., post-work out, and right before bed. This was if GH was utilizedwithout insulin.

Though some seemed to disagree, most emphatically believed that afast-acting insulin such as HUMULIN-R or Humalog was a better and safer choice ofexogenous insulin since they allowed better timing and have a much shorter effectiveperiod. This allowed the athletes to time insulin activity with the active period of GH atthe optimum absorption times such as upon waking and the first few hours after a workout.The result was less chance of fat accumulation and a heightened anabolic response.Since GH suppresses natural T-3 thyroid hormone release, the exogenous administrationof Triacana or Cytomel allowed for an elevated calorie intake that was utilized more forbuilding muscle and soft tissue than for adipose tissue storage. Many pro bodybuildersused Clenbuterol and/or ephedrine stacks with GH while dieting. Since Clenbuterol and Ephedrine both suppress natural insulin release, they usually stacked the GH and Clenbuterol /Ephedrine with a synthetic T-3 thyroid hormone and sometimes with insulinas well. The use of insulin was dependent upon whether it was a bulking or dieting phaseand depending on how their body responded to exogenous insulin use.
*I can not stress enough how dangerous insulin use can be. Comas and death are quitepossible if used wrong. If you wish to use it, please see a doctor for monitoring.AAS and/or Clenbuterol further enhance the anabolic effects of GH. From all buta few polled it was reported that excellent muscle mass gains resulted with the use of GHwhen other chosen hormone levels were also met (*also see "cycles") and one couldafford it. Also, beware of fake GH. It is more common than you may realize. It is anillegal drug and the black market is not always honest.
The question of dosage was a big one. For the purpose of stunted growthmanufacturers of GH (due to pituitary hyophysially caused stunted growth) state 0.3 i.u.weekly per LB of body weight. So for a 235 LB bodybuilder that would equal 70.5 i.u.weekly, meaning a daily total of about 10-i.u. However, even 2-3i.u. daily did producesome nice results over a 6-8 week period when the other reported hormone requirementswere met as well. Short high dosage burst cycles too were noted to create these results(which will be discussed later) by the more elite of those polled.*GH is medically administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously (under the skin).*When multiple injections were utilized, I personally noted better results withsubcutaneous administration.
*1-mg=2.7 i.u. of GH and some products are listed as such.With exception of those few whose insert states otherwise, the dry unmixed GHsubstance maybe stored at room temperature. Once the solution has been mixed with thedry GH powder, (SWIRLED, DO NOT SHAKEN) the mixture must be refrigerated andlasts for 24-hours before it begins to degrade. An interesting product has becomeavailable called DEPO-NUTROPIN that has an active-life of about a month. This wouldallow for fewer injections and a reduced price. Also, several patents run out thisyear so many overseas and less expensive GH preparation will soon be available in theU.S. by prescription only.
*Though no negative side effects were reported, the available literature does listseveral serious ones: Kidneys and heart enlargement, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroidhormone deficiency, and acromegaly. For the most part, they are rare to say the least andusually would be from extreme dosages and lengths of cycles. But like most hormones, youjust do not know until it is a fact for you. Kind of scary, huh?When GH was utilized with an insulin protocol, it was considered important tospace injection periods between GH and insulin about an hour. Also if GH was utilizedonly twice daily, it was reported best to avoid natural high points of GH release such asfirst thing in the a.m., post-work out, and right before bed. This was if GH was utilizedwithout insulin.

Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate)

Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) Buy Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) Nolvadex is a drug commonly referred to as an anti-estrogen. This would suggestless or no estrogen is produced due to the drug's actions as in the case of Teslac. Actually,Nolvadex is an estrogen antagonist, meaning it competes with estrogen at estrogenreceptor- sites. This prevents the active estrogen from entering its receptor and creatingan estrogenic complex capable of activity. Since many AAS aromatize (covert toestrogen) to some degree, the control of feminizing side effects (males should payattention here) is important. Males normally have a very low estrogen level. During AAScycles, due to aromatization, estrogen levels rise considerably. This elevated estrogenlevel can cause feminizing side effects such as increased fat deposits, water retention, andgynecomastia (growth of breast gland tissue and painful tumors under the nipple). As arule, it is more the ratio of androgens-to-estrogens than the simple increase in estrogenthat actually initiates feminizing side effects. It is important that the reader realizes that Nolvadex does not decrease estrogenproduction and that it simply blocks estrogen receptors. For this reason the suddendiscontinuance of Nolvadex will allow the increased level of circulating estrogen tomerge with the newly freed receptors and do feminine things to the body. "Enter Proviron". At the end of a steroid cycle, the body's natural testosteroneproduction can be impaired. Due to the aromatization of the AAS estrogen levels aresignificantly higher than normal and Nolvadex only helps by blocking the estrogenreceptors. If an athlete abruptly ends an AAS protocol without regeneration of the HPTAunder these conditions, much of the hard earned gains would disappear due to estrogenbecoming the dominant hormone. So what did the boys (that didn’t want to be a girl) do? Proviron is an anti-estrogen (*See "Proviron" for more info) that helps to preventestrogen production while elevating androgen levels. During the last week of an AAScycle, some male bodybuilders began a HCG protocol (*See HCG) and administered 25-mg Proviron/10-20-mg Novladex 1-2 times daily. This was commonly noted to almostcompletely suppress post-cycle estrogen and its activity. Since Nolvadex increases thebody's own testosterone production, as does HCG, much of the cycle gains were retainedquite well. Nolvadex has a direct effect on the hypothalamus and therefore increases therelease of Gonadotropic hormones to a minor degree. (The hormones that tell the Leydigcells in the testes to produce androgens such as testosterone are refereed to asGonadotropics) Many added Clomid (*See Clomid) to their post-cycle stacks beginning6-10 days after HCG and continued for the average reported two week duration. In mostcases the result was athletes with normal (or above) sex drive and androgen production! * High dosage use of Nolvadex can inhibit natural testosterone production. This is due toinhibition of enzymes needed for testosterone production by the testes. Nolvadex was normally layered into any protocol utilizing high aromatizing steroids suchas testosterone, Dianabol, or those that are progesterone receptor stimulators such asAnadrol-50. Those who were prone to high fat deposits, water retention, and gynoconsistently reported inclusion of Nolvadex. Many are were to obtain excellent estrogenicactivity suppression with only 10-mg daily while others noted the need for as much as60-mg daily (20mg 3 times daily). The best results and guidelines were obtained bystarting low and increasing dosages only when necessary. It is important for the reader to realize that AAS must have some estrogen presentin order to achieve their full positive potential effectiveness and provide the bestcommonly desired results. This is why many AAS lose their anabolic qualities whencombined with anti-estrogens. It is also why Methandriol magnifies the effects of thesame AAS. Those who used high anabolic/moderate-low androgenic steroids such asnandrolones, Primobolan, or Winstrol, and did not combine them with high aromatizingsteroids (such as testosterone) often considered not using Nolvadex during cycles the bestchoice when increased mass was the primary intent. Women who used Nolvadex usually did so because it aids in fat loss due to lessestrogenic activity. I have yet to see a female compete whom was able to achieve trulycut legs with out it. Women athletes often combined 10-20mg of Nolvadex with 50-75mgProviron daily for the last few weeks of dieting. Due to availability of Clenbuterol,Proviron dosages were reported lower as of late, at least in female fitness competitors.Women should be aware that birth control is an estrogen and Novladex will block itseffectiveness. Women have note irregular menstrual cycles, weaker menstrual bleeding,and sometimes skip periods all together during Nolvadex use. I know several women whouse Nolvadex for this reason and can not say I disagree with their choice. After all, theuse of progestin type birth control as a means of regulating or even stopping menstruationis becoming accepted in the medical circles at last. A few athletes have experienced a paradox when using high dosages of Nolvadex.Instead of lowering estrogenic activity, it increased it. What happened was that theAdrenal glands went into over drive producing a pro-hormone called DHEA. DHEA isactually an adrenal androgen normally secreted in lower levels. As circulating levelsincreased enzymic factors came into play. Research shows DHEA readily converts intoandrostenedione, and to some extent, estrogens in males. (That sucks!) The femaleendocrine system usually favors testosterone production from converted DHEA orandrostenedione. The newly formed estrogen then overwhelmed the estrogen receptorsblocking the intended qualities of Novladex. In this case, Proviron, and especially Teslacwhere notably better choices. *Gyno that fails to react to these drugs normally must be removed by surgery. DHTderivatives can cause increases endogenous estrogen production also in some individuals.Cytadren was a commonly co-administered drug with Nolvadex. Reported Characteristics Active-Life: Less than 24 hours Drug Class: Anti-estrogen/estrogen antagonist (Oral) Average Reported Dosage: 10-30-mg daily Acne: None Water Retention: No High Blood Pressure: Rare (not normally attributed to the drug itself) Liver Toxic: Yes

Cytomel ( liothyronine sodium )

Cytomel ( liothyronine sodium )
Cytomel (liothyronine sodium)
Quick overview:
Drug Class: Synthetic thyroid hormone Average Dose: 25-100 mcg/dayComments: Significant suppression of Thyroid function during use
Cytomel is the popularly recognized brand name for the drug liothyronine sodium. This is not an anabolic steroid but a thyroid hormone. It is used medically to treat cases of thyroid insufficiency, obesity, certain metabolic disorders and fatigue. Specifically this drug is a pharmaceutical preparation of the natural thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T-3). When administered, T3 increases the patient's metabolism. The result is an increased rate of cellular activity (noted by a more rapid utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins). Bodybuilders are particularly attracted to this drug for its ability to burn off body excess fat. Most often utilized during contest preparation, one can greatly decrease the amount of stored fat without being forced to severely restrict calories. To this end Cytomel is commonly used in conjunction with Clenbuterol and can produce extremely dramatic results. This combination has become very popular in recent years, no doubt responsible for many "ripped" on-stage physiques. It is also noted by many that when thyroid hormones are taken in conjunction with steroids, an increased anabolic effect can be seen (noticeably greater than if the steroids are used alone). This is likely due to faster utilization of proteins by the body, increasing the rate for new muscle accumulation.
Caution should be taken if one is considering using this drug. Cytomel comes with an extensive list of warnings and precautions which are not to be ignored. Side effects include, but are not limited to, heart palpitations, agitation, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, headaches, and psychic/metabolic disorders. It is a powerful hormone, and one that could potentially alter the normal functioning of the body if misused. When taking Cytomel, one must remember to increase the dosage slowly. Generally one 25mcg tablet is taken on the first day, and the dosage is thereafter increased by one tablet every three of four days for a maximum dosage of 100mcg. This will help the body adjust to the increased thyroid hormone, hopefully avoiding any sudden "shock" to the system. The daily dose should also be split evenly throughout the day, in an effort to keep blood levels steadier. Women are more sensitive to the side effects of Cytomel than men, and usually choose not to take no more than 50mcg daily.
It is important to stress that a cycle should last no longer than 6 weeks and it should never be halted abruptly. As slowly as the dosage was built up it should also be lowered, one tablet every 3-4 days. Taking Cytomel for too long and/or at too high a dosage can result in a permanent thyroid deficiency. After doing such, one might need to be treated with a drug like Cytomel for life. It is also a good idea to first consult your physician and have your thyroid function tested. An undiagnosed hyperfunction would not mix well with the added hormone. An athlete should also be sure never to purchase an injectable form of the drug. It is generally an emergency room product, much too powerful for athletic use. Since T-3 is the most powerful thyroid hormone athletes are using, this is generally not the starting point for a beginner. Before using such a powerful item, it is a good idea to become familiar with a weaker substance. The highly popular Triacana is very mild, allowing the user much more latitude (from severe side effects) than Cytomel. An in-between point is Synthroid (synthetic T-4), still weaker in action than Cytomel. Once the user is ready however, the fat burning effect of this hormone can be extremely dramatic.

Dianabol

Dianabol is one of the most highly effective mass building steroids ever created. It was, in fact, created specifically for athletes to use to improve performance (although it was claimed to have theraputic ability). It provideds highly impressive weight and strength gains for most users. Experiencing a 2-3kg weight gain per week is not unheard of, especially in novices. It must be noted that alot if this is water weight, and that with higher dosages gynecomastia (bitch tits), high blood pressure, and acne could occur. Dianabol (Methandrostenlone) when taken orally becomes active very rapidly, but only remains active for less than half a day. Often, for this reason, dosages were spread through the day. Ciba, the original makers of Dianabol claimed that 10 mgs of the product was enough for full androgen replacement in a man, and this dose increased androgen anabolic activity roughly 5 times over normal and provided a reduction in natural cortisol activity of between 50-70%. Despite this, many athletes take 50-100mgs daily. It would appear that over 50mgs/day, there is a point of diminishing return.
Dianabol is most commonly found in tablet form Since Dianabol (often called D-bol by athletes) is a 17aa compound, side effects such as increased liver values (toxicity) are to be expected, although they generally return to normal quickly after the athlete stops taking the product. In addition, as previously noted, gyno, heavy water retention (and raised blood pressure as a result), and acne were all commonly reported side effects of D-bol use. Interestingly, some users note a sense of well being during use of this drug, which is quite pronounced. This is the exact opposite of Anadrol, which is noted for an "unwell" feeling in users.
This product is also available in an injectable form from both British Dragon (in oil) as well as under the Reforvit-B name (which has the addition of B vitamins) which is suspended in water and is quite frankly a very painful injection, and not often used for this reason.

Winstrol (stanozolol)

Winstrol (stanozolol) Winstrol (stanozolol) Quick overview:
Active Life: around 48 hours
Drug Class: Anabolic/Androgenic Steroid (for injection or oral)
Average Dose: Men 50-100 mg/day.....Women 25-50 mg/week
Acne: Rare
Water Retention: Rare
High Blood Pressure: Rare
Liver Toxic: Yes, it is a 17AA steroid
Aromatization: No, it is a DHT derivative
DHT Conversion: None
Decrease HPTA function: Low Winstrol is a popular brand name for the anabolic steroid stanozolol. This compound is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, although its activity is much milder than this androgen in nature. It is technically classified as an anabolic steroid, shown to exhibit a slightly greater tendency for muscle growth than androgenic activity in early studies. While dihydrotestosterone really only provides androgenic side effects when administered, stanozolol instead provides quality muscle growth. The anabolic properties of this substance are still mild in comparison to many stronger compounds, but it is still a ggod, reliable builder of muscle. Its anabolic properties could even be comparable to Dianabol, but Winstrol does not have the same tendency for water retention. Stanozolol also contains the same c17 methylation we see with Dianabol, an alteration used so that oral administration is possible. To spite this design however, there are many injectable versions of this steroid produced.
Since stanozolol is not capable of converting into estrogen, an anti-estrogen is not necessary when using this steroid, gynecomastia is not a concern even among the most sensitive individuals. Since estrogen is also the cause of water retention, instead of bulk look, Winstrol produces a lean, quality look with no fear of excess subcutaneous fluid retention. This makes it a great steroid to use during cutting cycles, when water and fat retention are a major concern. It is also very popular among athletes in combination strength/speed sports such as Track and Field.
The usual dosage for men is 35-75mg per day for the tablets and 25-50mg per day with the injectable version. It is often combined with other steroids depending on the desired result. For bulking purposes, a stronger androgen like testosterone, Dianabol or Anadrol is usually added. Here Winstrol will balance out the cycle a bit, giving us good anabolic effect with lower overall estrogenic activity than if taking such steroids alone. The result should be a considerable gain in new muscle mass, with a more comfortable level of water and fat retention. For cutting phases Winstrol can be combined with a non-aromatizing androgen such as trenbolone or Halotestin. Such combinations should help bring about the strongly defined, hard look of muscularity so sought after among bodybuilders. Older, more sensitive individuals can add compounds like Primobolan, Deca-Durabolin or Equipoise when wishing to stack this steroid. Here they should see good results and fewer side effects than with standard androgen therapies. Women usually take around 5-10mg daily. Although female athletes usually find stanozolol very tolerable, the injectable version is usually off limits.
With the structural (c17-AA) alteration, the tablets will also place a higher level of stress on the liver than the injectable (which avoids the "first pass"). During longer or higher dosed cycles, liver values should therefore be watched closely through regular blood work. Although less common, there is still a possibility of liver damage occuring with the injectable form. While it does not enter the body through the liver, it is still broken down by it, providing a lower (but more continuous) level of stress. Such stress would of course be increased with the addition of other c17-AA oral compounds to a cycle of Winstrol. When using such combinations, cautious users would make every effort to limit the length of the cycle (preferably 6 to 8 weeks) and take some form of liver protectants. It should also be noted that both versions of Winstrol have been linked to strong adverse changes in HDL/LDL cholesterol levels. This side effect is common with anabolic steroid therapy, and obviously can become a health concern as the dose/duration of intake increase above normal. The oral version should have a greater impact on cholesterol values than the injectable due to the method of administration, and may therefore be the worse choice of the two for those concerned and this side effect.
The oral use of stanozolol can also have a profound impact on levels of SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin). This is a characteristic of all anabolic/androgenic steroids, however its potency and form of administration make Winstrol particularly noteworthy in this regard. Since plasma binding proteins such as SHBG act to temporarily constrain steroid hormones from exerting activity, this effect would provide a greater percentage of free (unbound) steroid hormone in the body. This may amount to an effective mechanism in which stanozolol could increase the potency of a concurrently used steroid. To further this purpose one could also addition Proviron, which has an extremely high affinity for SHBG. This affinity may cause Proviron to displace other weaker substrates for SHBG (such as testosterone), another mechanism in which the free hormone level may be increased. Adding Winstrol and Proviron to your next testosterone cycle may therefore prove very useful,, markedly enhancing the free state of this potent muscle building androgen.

Anadrol - Oxymetholone

anadrol 50 information


Anadrol - Oxymetholone



Steroid Profiles - Anadrol - Oxymetholone

This is an oral, methylated (17-alpha-alkylated) steroid that is both highly androgenic as well as highly anabolic. Some novice users report weight gains of up to a pound per day fpor the first 3 weeks of administration, as well as incredible strength gains. Neither is uncommon among first-time steroid users, and this type of weight gain makes Anadrol one of the most highly coveted drugs for off season mass-building cycles. Aggressiveness often increases dramatically on this compound, and that may be due to the elevation in androgen levels it provides, it's effects on the central nervous system, and it being derived from DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which anecdotally seems to make athletes much more agressive. This last effect is often seen by the media as a negative side effect, but in a hard training (and emotionally stable) athlete, this aggressiveness often manifests itself as a stronger drive in the gym and results in more strength gained, and ultimately, more weight. Unfortunately, users of this drug also experience the negative aspects of DHT which can include excessive water retention, acne, and hairloss.
Anadrol 50 tablets by British Dragon Many people consider Anadrol a dangerous compound, but this isn't necessarily so. Anadrol was originally produced in a whopping 50mg pill, so you don't need to take many of them to get a very high dose of Oxymetholone (the drug in Anadrol). Compare this dose to Anavar which is produced in a 2.5mg pill, or Dianabol which was produced in a 5mg pill, and you'll see why Anadrol has such a reputation for being powerful. One tab is has as many milligrams as 20 of the original Anavar tabs or 20 of the original Dianabol tabs! On a milligram for milligram basis, Anadrol is no more dangerous than most oral steroids out there. You just have to remember that you get 50mgs in each tablet, and adjust your dose accordingly. Occasionally people using Anadrol get flu-like-symptoms or a headache. I personally get both, but the headache is much worse (it is probably from my bloodpressure elevating quickly). Alot of the horror stories you hear about steroids is from people abusing this one in particulat. Chris Duffy ( a now retired IFBB professional) claimed to use ten of them every day. It's no wonder that it has been linked to prostate and liver cancer, liver disease, thyroid dysfunction, leukemia, and heart disorders, and even hepatic comas. Again, this is a powerful drug, and not to be taken lightly, but is no more dangerous than many others. It will also raise your hematocrit, and commesurately your blood pressure. to where clotting time may become an issue. Since Anadrol is derived from DHT, it can cause issues in DHT-sensitivce target tissure like the scalp, prostate, and sebaceous glands. It can also cause suppression of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis, resulting in a low sperm count, and a lowering of Leutenizing hormone, which is what signals your testes to secrete testosterone. Anadrol therapy, therefore, will lower your testosterone levels.




Women generally steer clear of Anadrol, because of it's possible virilizing effects, including clitoral enlargement, facial hair growth, deeper voice, and missed periods..
Oxymetholone is infamous for negatively effecting liver function and increasing markers of that such as SGPT and SGOT enzymes (and others) which are all hepatic indicators (indicators of liver dysfunction). Jaundice (a yellowing of the whites of the eyes and finger nails) can even occur from extended Anadrol use. As previously stated, Anadrol is a derivative of DHT, which is itself a 5-alpha-reduced version of testosterone. Some androl users have reported gyno from its use but this is unlikely to be a result of anadrol (which doesn't convert to estrogen, nor DHT, nor can it stimulate the progesterone receptor). Users of Anadrol who experience gynocomastia (the of breast tissue by males) have probably developed this condition as a result of the concurrent use of another steroid along with their Anadrol. Oxymetholone also causes edema (water retention) which could possibly be due to enhanced retention, which often causes a smoothe appearance to muscles.




Andarol'is medical use is (as with most steroids) to treat low red blood cell production, which often manifests itself as aenemia. Therefore, during administration of Anadrol, red blood cell count is increased greatly. For the hard-training athlete, this is a great benefit bnecause it meant that there is more oxygen transported to the muscles, resulting in both an incredible muscle pump as well as increased ability to do multiple sets with very heavy weights. The time needed between sets, and ability to do more sets per workout are both increased, and a reduced need for off-days from the gym is often seen as well. This increased work capacity contributes to the athlete being able to do a great deal more productive weight training sessions per cycle, and this of course contributes to their gains immeasurably.




Advanced bodybuilders and power lifters have reported excellent results with 50-200 mg per day, taken in divided doses. It's very often the drug of choice for athletes attempting to move up a weight class in bodybuilding or powerlifting. Although myself and many others have used Anadrol alone, it's not very common to do so, and it's generally stacked with something like Testosterone, and Deca Durabolin or Equipoise. By stacking it with highly anabolic compounds like them, more high quality gains are generally seen, and less of the watery/bloated look is experienced.

Muscle-bound Hollywood superstar Sylvester Stallone was fined yesterday for bringing illegal human growth hormones

SYDNEY: Muscle-bound Hollywood superstar Sylvester Stallone was fined yesterday for bringing illegal human growth hormones that he said made him “feel and look good” into Australia.The 60-year-old star of the blockbuster Rocky boxing movies had faced a maximum fine of A$22,000, but the magistrate ordered him to pay just A$2,975 (US$2,452) because the actor had shown remorse.But Deputy Chief Magistrate Paul Cloran also ordered Stallone, who was not in the Sydney court where he was sentenced, to pay the prosecution costs of A$10,000, taking his total bill to just under A$13,000.Stallone last week apologised to the court for bringing 52 vials of a banned human growth hormone and testosterone, a male hormone used to improve muscle mass, into Australia when he came here to promote his latest Rocky movie.“There is no suggestion that the substances were being used for anything other than cosmetic or therapeutic purposes,” Cloran said.“Mr Stallone made an error of judgment and he has now done all he can to remedy the situation. He has shown contrition. He has expressed his remorse.”But Stallone, in an interview recorded in Hollywood at the weekend, suggested he had only pleaded guilty and accepted a conviction last week in order to make the case go away.“I didn’t do anything illegally but they have rules down there,” Stallone said in an interview with Australia’s Channel Nine. “Literally, I didn’t want to sit around and fight it so sometimes you just go, ‘fine, whatever you say’.”The one-time ‘Italian Stallion’ said earlier in documents he had been taking the substances under medical supervision for years to treat a medical condition, which was not revealed in court, and did not know they were illegal.But the magistrate said Stallone had failed to prove he had a valid prescription for the human growth hormone, Jintropin, which was found in his luggage at Sydney airport.Jintropin is not legally available for retail use in the US and therefore could not have been prescribed, the magistrate said, also referring to an interview the actor had with Australian customs officers.During that encounter, Stallone told officers that as one got older, the pituitary gland slowed, making one feel older. “This stuff gives your body a boost and you feel and look good,” Stallone said. “Doing Rambo is hard work and I am going to be in Burma (Myanmar) for a while. Where do you think I am going to get this stuff in Burma?”“I will not be without these. I cannot be without these.” Human growth hormone occurs naturally but can also be made in synthetic form to boost muscle mass.Stallone last week pleaded guilty to importing the banned growth hormone, but said in a written statement he had made a “terrible mistake.”“Never ever was it my intention to breach the laws and I realise that I should have properly informed myself about your customs,” Stallone said.His lawyer said Stallone, who shot to global fame in the 1976 movie Rocky, had been ignorant of Australian law and was “extremely mortified” over the incident that overshadowed the launch of his latest film here.But prosecutor John Agius told the court that the Hollywood icon had tried to “cover up” the fact that he had not declared four vials of testosterone by throwing them out of his hotel window as police arrived to search his room.Cloran said while Stallone had tried to deceive customs officers about the hormone, he had shown contrition.Stallone was just 29 when he made Rocky, which took in nearly US$450mn at the worldwide box office, but was twice that age last year when he made Rocky Balboa, the sixth film in the series.“Just because people get older doesn’t mean they abandon their dream or their ability to want to do something, so Rocky is symbolic of still wanting to participate,” Stallone told reporters recently. – AFP

Deca-Durabolin® is the Organon brand name for the injectable steroid nandrolone decanoate. This compound came around early in the wave of commercial steroid development, first being made available as a prescription medication in 1962.

World wide "Deca" is one of the most widely used anabolic steroids. Its popularity is due to the simple fact that it exhibits many very favorable properties. Structurally nandrolone is very similar to testosterone, although it lacks a carbon atom at the 19th position (hence its other name 19-nortestosterone). The resulting structure is a steroid that exhibits much weaker androgenic properties than testosterone. Of primary interest is the fact that nandrolone will not break down to a more potent metabolite in androgen target tissues. You may remember this is a significant problem with testosterone. Although nandrolone does undergo reduction via the same (5-alpha reductase) enzyme that produces DHT from testosterone, the result in this case is dihydronandrolone. This metabolite is weaker than the parent nandroloness, and is far less likely to cause unwanted androgenic side effects. Strong occurrences of oily skin, acne, body/facial hair growth and hair loss occur very rarely. It is however possible for androgenic activity to become apparent with this as any steroid, but with nandrolone higher than normal doses are usually responsible.

Nandrolone also show an extremely lower tendency for estrogen conversion. For comparison, the rate has been estimated to be only about 20% of that seen with testosterones. This is because while the liver can convert nandrolone to estradiol, in other more active sites of steroid aromatization such as adipose tissue nandrolone is far less open to this process'. Consequently estrogen related side effects are a much lower concern with this drug. An anti-estrogen is likewise rarely needed with Deca, gynecomastia only a worry among sensitive individuals. At the same time water retention is not a usual concern. This effect can occur however, but is most often related to higher dosages. The addition of Proviron and/or Nolvadex should prove sufficient enough to significantly reduce any occurrence. Clearly Deca is a very safe choice among steroids. Actually, many consider it to be the best overall steroid for a man to use when weighing the side effects and results. It should also be noted that in HIV studies, Deca has been shown not only to be effective at safely bringing up the lean body weight of patient, but also to be beneficial to the immune system.

It is of note however that nandrolone is believed to have some activity as a progestin in the body. Although progesterone is a c-19 steroid, removal of this group as in 19-norprogesterone creates a hormone with greater binding affinity for its corresponding receptor. Sharing this trait, many 19-nor anabolic steroids are shown to have some affinity for the progesterone receptor as well. This can lead to some progestin-like activity in the body, and may intensify related side effects. The side effects associated with progesterone are actually quite similar to those of estrogen, including negative feedback inhibition of testosterone production, enhanced rate of fat storage and possibly gynecomastia. Many believe the progestin activity of Deca notably contributes to suppression of testosterone synthesis, which can be marked despite a low tendency for estrogen conversion.

Deca is not known as a very "fast" builder. The muscle building effect of this drug is quite noticeable, but not dramatic. The slow onset and mild properties of this steroid therefore make it more suited for cycles with a longer duration. In general one can expect to gain muscle weight at about half the rate of that with an equal amount of testosterone. A cycle lasting eight to twelve weeks seems to make the most sense, expecting to elicit a slow, even gain of quality mass. Although active in the body for much longer, Deca is usually injected once or twice per week. The dosage for men is usually in the range of 300-600mg/week. If looking to be specific, it is believed that Deca will exhibit its optimal effect (best gain/side effect ratio) at around 2mg per pound of lean bodyweight/weekly. Deca is also a popular steroid among female bodybuilders. They take a much lower dosage on average than men of course, usually around 50mg weekly. Although only slightly androgenic, women are occasionally confronted with virilization symptoms when taking this compound. Should this become a concern, the shorter acting nandrolone Durabolin would be a safer option. This drug stays active for only a few days, greatly reducing the impact of androgenic buildup if withdrawal were indicated.

Endogenous testosterone levels can be a concern with Deca-Durabolin, especially after long cycles. It is therefore mandatory to incorporate ancillary drugs at the conclusion of therapy. An estrogen antagonist such as Clomid or Nolvadex is therefore commonly used for a few weeks. These both provide a good level of testosterone stimulation, although they may take a couple of weeks to show the best effect. HCG injections could be added for extra reassurance, acting to rapidly restore the normal ability of the testes to respond to the resumed release of gonadotropins. For this purpose one could administer three injections of 2500-50001.U., spaced five days apart. After which point the antagonist is continued alone for a few more weeks in an effort to stabilize the production of testosterone. Remember not to begin post cycle therapy (PCT) until after Deca has been withdrawn for around three weeks. Deca stays active for quite some time so the ancillary drugs will not be able to exhibit their optimal effect when the steroid is still being released into the bloodstream. The major drawback for competitive purposes is that in many cases nandrolone metabolites will be detectable in a drug screen for up to a year (or more) after use. This is clearly due to the form of administration. Esterified compounds have a high affinity to stay stored in fatty tissues. While we can accurately estimate the time frame it will take for a given dose to enter circulation from an injection site, we cannot know for sure that 100% of the steroid will have been metabolized at any given point. Small amounts may indeed be stubborn in leaving fatty tissue, particularly after heavy, longer-term use. Some quantity of nandrolone decanoate may therefore be left to sporadically enter into the blood stream many months after use. This process may be further aggravated when dieting for a show, a time when body fat stores are being actively depleted (possibly freeing more steroid). This has no doubt been the cause for many unexpected positives on a drug screen. The fact that nandrolone has been isolated as the "hands-off" injectable for the drug tested athlete is most likely due to its popularity (and therefore common appearance on drug screens). The same risk would of course hold true for other long chain esterified injectables such as Equipoise, and Primobolan.

Those not worried about drug screens are likely to find the low water retention and good effect of this drug favorable for use in pre-contest cutting stacks. A combination of Deca and Winstrol during the weeks/months leading up to a show for example, is noted to greatly enhance to look of muscularity and definition. A strong non-aromatizing androgen like Halotestin or trenbolone could be further added, providing an enhanced level of hardness and density to the muscles. Being an acceptable anabolic, Deca can also be incorporated into bulk cycles with good results. The classic Deca and Dianabol cycle has been a basic for decades, and always seems to provide excellent muscle growth. A stronger androgen such as Anadrol or testosterone could also be substituted, producing greater results. When mixed with Deca, the androgen dosage can be kept lower than if used alone, hopefully making the cycle more comfortable. Additionally one may choose to continue Deca for a number of few weeks after the androgen has been stopped. This will hopefully harden up some of the bloat produced by the androgen, giving a more quality appearance. Remember that endogenous testosterone production will not resume during Deca therapy, and ancillaries are likewise still needed.

Winstrol (stanozolol)

Winstrol (stanozolol) Winstrol (stanozolol) Quick overview:
Active Life: around 48 hours
Drug Class: Anabolic/Androgenic Steroid (for injection or oral)
Average Dose: Men 50-100 mg/day.....Women 25-50 mg/week
Acne: Rare
Water Retention: Rare
High Blood Pressure: Rare
Liver Toxic: Yes, it is a 17AA steroid
Aromatization: No, it is a DHT derivative
DHT Conversion: None
Decrease HPTA function: Low Winstrol is a popular brand name for the anabolic steroid stanozolol. This compound is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, although its activity is much milder than this androgen in nature. It is technically classified as an anabolic steroid, shown to exhibit a slightly greater tendency for muscle growth than androgenic activity in early studies. While dihydrotestosterone really only provides androgenic side effects when administered, stanozolol instead provides quality muscle growth. The anabolic properties of this substance are still mild in comparison to many stronger compounds, but it is still a ggod, reliable builder of muscle. Its anabolic properties could even be comparable to Dianabol, but Winstrol does not have the same tendency for water retention. Stanozolol also contains the same c17 methylation we see with Dianabol, an alteration used so that oral administration is possible. To spite this design however, there are many injectable versions of this steroid produced.
Since stanozolol is not capable of converting into estrogen, an anti-estrogen is not necessary when using this steroid, gynecomastia is not a concern even among the most sensitive individuals. Since estrogen is also the cause of water retention, instead of bulk look, Winstrol produces a lean, quality look with no fear of excess subcutaneous fluid retention. This makes it a great steroid to use during cutting cycles, when water and fat retention are a major concern. It is also very popular among athletes in combination strength/speed sports such as Track and Field.
The usual dosage for men is 35-75mg per day for the tablets and 25-50mg per day with the injectable version. It is often combined with other steroids depending on the desired result. For bulking purposes, a stronger androgen like testosterone, Dianabol or Anadrol is usually added. Here Winstrol will balance out the cycle a bit, giving us good anabolic effect with lower overall estrogenic activity than if taking such steroids alone. The result should be a considerable gain in new muscle mass, with a more comfortable level of water and fat retention. For cutting phases Winstrol can be combined with a non-aromatizing androgen such as trenbolone or Halotestin. Such combinations should help bring about the strongly defined, hard look of muscularity so sought after among bodybuilders. Older, more sensitive individuals can add compounds like Primobolan, Deca-Durabolin or Equipoise when wishing to stack this steroid. Here they should see good results and fewer side effects than with standard androgen therapies. Women usually take around 5-10mg daily. Although female athletes usually find stanozolol very tolerable, the injectable version is usually off limits.
With the structural (c17-AA) alteration, the tablets will also place a higher level of stress on the liver than the injectable (which avoids the "first pass"). During longer or higher dosed cycles, liver values should therefore be watched closely through regular blood work. Although less common, there is still a possibility of liver damage occuring with the injectable form. While it does not enter the body through the liver, it is still broken down by it, providing a lower (but more continuous) level of stress. Such stress would of course be increased with the addition of other c17-AA oral compounds to a cycle of Winstrol. When using such combinations, cautious users would make every effort to limit the length of the cycle (preferably 6 to 8 weeks) and take some form of liver protectants. It should also be noted that both versions of Winstrol have been linked to strong adverse changes in HDL/LDL cholesterol levels. This side effect is common with anabolic steroid therapy, and obviously can become a health concern as the dose/duration of intake increase above normal. The oral version should have a greater impact on cholesterol values than the injectable due to the method of administration, and may therefore be the worse choice of the two for those concerned and this side effect.
The oral use of stanozolol can also have a profound impact on levels of SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin). This is a characteristic of all anabolic/androgenic steroids, however its potency and form of administration make Winstrol particularly noteworthy in this regard. Since plasma binding proteins such as SHBG act to temporarily constrain steroid hormones from exerting activity, this effect would provide a greater percentage of free (unbound) steroid hormone in the body. This may amount to an effective mechanism in which stanozolol could increase the potency of a concurrently used steroid. To further this purpose one could also addition Proviron, which has an extremely high affinity for SHBG. This affinity may cause Proviron to displace other weaker substrates for SHBG (such as testosterone), another mechanism in which the free hormone level may be increased. Adding Winstrol and Proviron to your next testosterone cycle may therefore prove very useful,, markedly enhancing the free state of this potent muscle building androgen.
