Anadrol (Oxymetholone) VS Dbol benefits cycle

Oxymetholone (Anadrol) is a very powerful anabolic androgenic steroid of immense capabilities. Generally a bulking steroid, as size promotion is its primary purpose it does possess secondary characteristics well-suited for cutting as well but only in very specific cases and for the average man this type of use will never be implored. As a powerful steroid most will find Oxymetholone (Anadrol) is best used during a bulking cycle at the front end as a kick start to the overall cycle. The most common practice is a 4-6 week run of Oxymetholone (Anadrol) at a dosing of 50mg per day and for many this will be all the Oxymetholone (Anadrol) they will ever need. However, for those who want a little more and these individuals always exist, 100g per day for the same time frame can be successfully administered but there are some important notes. It is important to understand how your body reacts to this steroid before you ever begin a 100mg dose; further, understand the possibility of negative side-effects increase dramatically when the dosing is increased.

Oxymetholone (Anadrol) was used to help with muscle growth in patients with malnourishment and growth problems, in addition, it was given to osteoporosis and anemia patients. In time, it became evident that the side effects of Anadrol are so harsh that some patients with wasting disease developed liver problems and an alternative drug was discovered as a replacement. However, a few decades later, Oxymetholone (Anadrol) resurfaced again to help with HIV/AIDS wasting syndrome.

While 100mg a day will prove to be the maximum dosage that can be safely used, assuming the individual knows what they’re doing, beyond 100mg will often prove to be a waste as Oxymetholone (Anadrol) has been shown to possess a fast diminishing rate when you go past the 100g mark. This simply means doses of 150mg or 200mg and beyond will not produce results greater than 100mg or at least at any noteworthy affect. The same can also be said of total duration; past the 6 week mark the benefits of Oxymetholone supplementation will begin to largely fade. While an individual may indeed pack on as much as 20-30lbs with the steroid the first 4-6 weeks such massive increases will not occur past the 6 week mark.

As is with all anabolic steroids Oxymetholone (Anadrol) does carry with it the possibility of negative adverse side-effects and with this steroid they can be very severe; especially when responsible use is thrown to the wind. Oxymetholone is one of the most hepatic oral steroids on the market; as a 17-aa steroid it is very toxic to the liver but while this is the case with all 17-aa steroids it is more so here. Granted, with responsible use liver damage will often be reversed when use is discontinued but this is assuming responsible sue was implored. Further, as it is well-known for, Oxymetholone (Anadrol) can greatly cause a massive buildup in water retention, so much so that for many the effect can be unbearable. For this reason the use of an aromatase inhibitor (AI) is highly advised. Further, the use of an AI will aid in the prevention of gynecomastia as well, another possible side-effect due to use. It is important to note, regarding water retention more often than not its unbearable nature is brought on by excess carbohydrate consumption. Excess carbohydrates will cause bloat, Oxymetholone (Anadrol) will cause bloat, couple the two factors together and you often have a mess. Learn to control your eating and this problem can be largely avoided when responsible use is followed.

As is easy to see, by its very nature Oxymetholone (Anadrol) serves the primary role of increasing size, however, many competitive bodybuilders supplement with the steroid at the end of a contest prep cycle in order to fill out more efficiently. One must have a full understanding of the steroid to pull off such use without excess water retention being a problem but as the steroids effect on carbohydrate consumption is so pronounced it can have a positive effect when used properly for this purpose.

Like Dianabol, Anadrol doesn’t bind well to the androgen receptor (AR) and is known to exert anabolic effects through non-AR-mediated effects. When compared to Dbol, Anadrol can be a bit harsh and more toxic than Dbol though athletes can avoid this negative aspect of Anadrol by following proper precautions. Both (Anadrol and Dbol) are c17 alpha alkylated, which means athletes should focus on liver protection through N2Guard, Liv52, and other drugs. Dianabol, on the other hand, promotes the sense of well being but athletes can expect an increased risk of male pattern baldness by using Dbol. In addition, Dianabol is well-known for facilitating quality muscle gains without too much of water retention, which means athletes can keep more of the gained lean muscle with Dbol than with Anadrol.

Muscle mass, weight, and strength gains made with Dianabol are fewer as compared to those made with Anadrol. However, Anadrol is a drug that leads to more side effects when compared to Dbol. In order to reap optimum advantages of Dbol, users should use Dianabol at low dosages and for longer periods of time. Anadrol, on the other hand, is best used for a cycle of 2-4 weeks.

The fact that Dbol is cheaper slightly puts it ahead of Anadrol in the battle of Anadrol Vs Dbol but the selection among the two depends on different factors such as expectations from cycle, body statistics, diet, level of workouts, and training and experience. The ideal solution is to take both Anadrol and Dbol in lower dosages for shorter periods of time. A perfect steroid cycle involving these two steroids would be about using Anadrol at weekly dosages of 250-300mg for 2-4 weeks and Dbol for 6 weeks at 200mg every week. Alternatively, you can take Anadrol at 50mg every day and Dianabol 30mg every day for four weeks.

The adrenergic agonist Clenbuterol by Accordo RX

The adrenergic agonist, Clenbuterol is one of the most popular weight and fat loss drugs. Because of its steroid-like results, the weight loss drug (also known as Clen) is commonly used by sportsmen, especially those in body building and participate in weight-related categories.

One of the biggest advantages associated with use of this weight and fat loss drug is that it can improve ability to the body to carry more fresh oxygen than ever, which further promotes nitrogen retention and protein synthesis. Moreover, Clenbuterol is second to none for increasing the rate at which fat is reduced besides promoting cardio exercise potential of the body.

In addition to that, use of Clen is not related to side effects that are common with anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs, especially harsh or aromatizable steroids. This also means that Clenbuterol users can be relieved of estrogenic side effects such as oily skin, acne, gynecomastia and bloating in the first place itself.

Clenbuterol use is also related to promotion of nearly permanent muscle mass gains and a slight increase in temperature of the body that proves beneficial in losing “stubborn and stored” fat. Clenbuterol cream, Clenbuterol injections, and Clenbuterol gels can even be used for targeting beta-2 receptors that stimulate muscle growth and more storage of protein in the muscles. The use of Clen cream, gel, and injections is also associated with breakdown of the protein stored in the muscle cells and redirecting fat loss in areas to be emphasized during the fat loss plan. One of the biggest advantages of this fat and weight loss drug is that it helps users lose body fat or weight and gain muscles at the same time besides helping them benefit from spot reduction to emphasize on specific body areas or parts with excess fat.

When used in doses of 60-140 mcg per day by men and 40-120 mcg per day by women, Clenbuterol exhibits its true potential. It is worthwhile to note that doses should start and end low (60 mcg per day for men and 40 mcg per day for women) during a Clenbuterol only cycle. Moreover, the doses should be slowly increased by 20 mcg per day till the maximum dosage is reached (140 mcg per day for men and 120 mcg per day for women) and then reduced by 20 mcg per day to end low (60 mcg per day for men and 40 mcg per day for women). In other words, a Clenbuterol only cycle for men would be in the order: 60mcg, 80mcg, 100mcg, 120mcg, 140mcg, 120mcg, 100mcg, 80mcg, and 60mcg and a Clenbuterol only cycle for women would be in the order: 40mcg, 60mcg, 80mcg, 100mcg, 120mcg, 100mcg, 80mcg, 60mcg and 40mcg.

There are two major parameters that the user has in mind while choosing a steroid. First is his goal in the form of muscle and strength gains and second is his concern about becoming prone to minimum side effects after steroid use. It is a known fact that steroid use is an imperative feature of muscle building. Hence choosing the right steroid which gives you optimum results is a must.

Clenbuterol, commonly referred to as Clen, is a sympathomimetic amine and a bronchodilator largely employed as a drug used for treating respiratory illnesses. It stimulates the aerobic capacity of the body and is an effective thermogenic compound also used for stimulating the central nervous system and oxygen transportation mechanism in the body. It is chemically identified as (RS)-1-(4-amino-3, 5- dichlorophenyl)-2-(tert-butylamino) ethanol and is found to be structurally as well as pharmacological similar to epinephrine and salbutamol.

When Clenbuterol is administered in the blood, it reaches the beta-2 receptors present in it and reacts with them to increase the metabolic rate of the body. This causes the cellular heat of the tissues to increase which stimulates the breakdown of triglycerides to form free fatty acids. In this entire process, the excess amount of heat produced often increases the temperature of the body. Hence people ingesting Clen in their steroid cycle should be prepared to undergo high body temperature for some period. Ideally people do not feel any discomfort in this phase but under any circumstances if the heat becomes too much to bear, then one must immediately see a physician. Another major advantage of Clen intake is enjoyed by both bodybuilders as well as sports persons as it helps in gaining the added strength needed by athletes in their per-competition phases. The only thing that needs to be kept in mind is that Clen can be detected in the body up to 4 to 6 weeks after the steroid cycle is over. Thus those taking the drug in the pre-contest period should plan its administration accordingly.

Since use of Clenbuterol can lead to loss of potassium in the body, it is best to use 200-400 mg of potassium tablets or 3-4 apples and orange per day throughout the Clenbuterol only cycle. Users of this fat loss drug are advised to abstain from using it after evening as Clen use immediately before retiring for the bed may lead to insomnia. In order to control the levels of prolactin, Clenbuterol users also include T3 Cytomel in their cycle. It is also recommended to consume seven to nine glasses of water a day to avoid dehydration and use Clen in a 2-day on and 2-day off or 3-week on and 3-week off cycle.

Like all prescription drugs, the use of Clenbuterol should always be recommended by a qualified medical practitioner and such recommendations should always be made after complete and careful analysis of medical reports and history. People having an existing allergy to the weight loss drug should avoid making use of it. Moreover, the drug should always be purchased from a legal steroid store or pharmacy with a prescription and must be used only for the specified purposes and as per directed. This is because Clenbuterol abuse or use of low grade Clen can lead to side effects such as difficulty in breathing, gastrointestinal irritation, myocardial infarction, skin rash, urticaria, diaphoresis, nausea, tightness in the chest, vomiting, dizziness, depleted phosphate levels, dry mouth, insomnia, muscular shivering, cardiac hypertrophy, palpitation, potassium depletion, loss of concentration, frequent mood swings, and drowsiness.

Abuse of Clenbuterol may also lead to increased blood pressure, muscle cramps, excessive sweating, heartburn, face flushes, tremors, and restlessness. People who are already administered with Antibiotics, Accutane, oral 17-alpha-alkylated steroids or hepatotoxic (toxic to liver) elements should not make use of the weight loss drug, unless otherwise clearly specified by a medical practitioner. Moreover, Clen use is not advised to those suffering from hyperthyroidism, tachycardia, tachyarrhythmia, heart or thyroid diseases, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, prostatic hypertrophy, urinary retention, glaucoma, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Clenbuterol is also not recommended to breastfeeding or lactating women and children.

The most popular drug Equipoise

Equipoise has come a long way to become one of the most popular and recommended bodybuilding drugs after being initially developed as a veterinary anabolic steroid. Equipoise (also known as Ganabol, Boldenone and Ultragan) is a highly anabolic and moderately androgenic steroid. Equipoise is generally cheaper than Deca Durabolin and is commonly used to replace Deca without losing on the benefits that may have been offered by Deca in most cycles. One of the biggest benefits of Equipoise is that its use is associated with very little amount of water retention and aromatization. Moreover, use of this performance enhancing drug is associated with an ensuing increase in appetite and this is a good enough reason for sportsmen and others to include Boldenone in a bulking steroid cycle. This anabolic steroid is as anabolic as testosterone and is half androgenic as testosterone. Equipoise can be effectively used for both cutting and bulking cycles because of its well-balanced effects. This steroid is not hard on the hair line as it gets converted to DHN (a very mild androgen in comparison to DHT) via 5- alpha reductase though only a small amount is actually converted.

Boldenone is metabolized by aromatase to estradiol, but to a lesser a degree than testosterone. It also is metabolized by the 5-AR enzyme, in this case to 17b-hydroxyandrost-1-ene-3-one, commonly but incorrectly called “1-testosterone” and sometimes called dihydroboldenone. This molecule’s potency is similar to that of Boldenone, so the molecule is neither potentiated or deactivated by the 5-AR enzyme and therefore that metabolism is unimportant

The mild nature and steady gains produced by Equipoise are complemented with an increase in appetite and the ability to eat more food while making efforts to gain weight in the off season makes it an instant hit with sportsmen. In addition to these advantages, Equipoise use is also linked with enhancements in terms of the number of red blood cells and the percentage of red blood cells (hemoglobin and Hematocrit), which further translates into greater “pumps” during intense workouts. Furthermore, body strength and muscle mass gains made with this steroid are more pronounced with Equipoise than with any other steroid or performance enhancing drug. Since Boldenone stimulates the release of EPO (erythropoietin) in the kidneys, sportsmen using the steroid can expect an increase in count of red blood cells (production of erythrocytes). Since erythrocytes are oxygen carriers in the body, a higher maximal oxygen capacity is produced with an increase in their concentration that leads to improved performances because of a delay in the onset of fatigue, which results in buildup of lactic acid. Use of this performance enhancing drug is also associated with moderate reductions of HPTA function and promotion of solid, meaty muscle fiber when complemented with strength exercises and healthy lifestyle.

It can be stacked with Winstrol (Stanozolol), Oxandrolone, Testosterone enanthate, Testosterone Cypionate and Testosterone Propionate in an anabolic steroid cycle of six to eight weeks for promoting anabolic activity while keeping estrogenic side effects. The reason why Boldenone is commonly stacked with testosterone is because this would negate any libido changes that may be experienced by a user and a combination of Equipoise and Testosterone is second to none for experiencing dramatic increases in terms of lean body mass. Boldenone can be used for long periods of time during extensive cycles since Boldenone is not hepatoxic to any serious extent. It is also stacked by some sportsmen with Trenbolone Acetate, Halotestin or Winstrol during a cutting cycle to experience solid muscle density and hardness gains. The steroid may even be stacked with Oxymetholone (Anadrol) or an injectable testosterone like Sustanon 250.

If that was not all, anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs that tend to raise liver values like 17 alpha alkylated steroids can be stacked with Boldenone as liver toxicity is not or rarely associated with the compound. Male bodybuilders often use Equipoise in doses of 200-600 mg every week for about twelve to twenty weeks as per their objectives and female bodybuilders use it in doses of 50-125 mg every week for eight to twelve weeks. The minimum dose is between 300-400 mg per week for males and women can experience results of Boldenone at doses ranging from 50-150 mg per week for less experienced users. A proper post cycle therapy (PCT) with HCG and Clomid/Nolvadex is highly recommended after a waiting time of around two or three weeks before the PCT can be started so that Equipoise can be cleared from the body to make the cycle therapy more effective. An anti-aromatase such as Cytadren or Arimidex may even be used to make the cycle more tolerable. In order to get the best out of Boldenone, users should emphasize on a diet high in protein and calories, along with a proper training regimen and must use the anabolic steroid as directed. The use of this steroid should always be made for legal purposes and under medical supervision. By doing this, users can expect to add quality lean muscle on a consistent basis throughout an anabolic steroid cycle.

The abuse or use of low grade Equipoise can cause side effects such as negatively-affected lipid profile, virilizing effects in women, high degree of water/salt retention, gynecomastia, increased hair growth, acne, aggravation of male pattern baldness, and sexual side effects. Equipoise users can expect the drug producing detectable metabolites in the urine several months after use because of the characteristics of high oil solubility of long chain esterified injectable steroids. When used in an injectable form, users should make it a point to rotate injection sites on a regular basis and follow healthy administration practices so as to avoid irritation or infection and staying away from abscess formation and sharing of needles.

Benefits of Deca Durabolin Cycles and Doses

The benefits of Deca Durabolin are very simple but as this is a very powerful anabolic they are very great. By understanding what Nandrolone does understanding the benefits of Deca Durabolin should be fairly simple, increased muscle mass and increased strength. While these are the two most prominent effects there is the added benefit of joint relief as well by means of a secondary nature; for this reason many athletes will supplement with Deca Durabolin even when not in a gaining phase in order to obtain such relief.

To give you an idea of how powerful this hormone is even small therapeutic doses can cause large increases in weight by increasing lean mass and this is achieved largely due to its nitrogen retention abilities.
Those who supplement with Deca Durabolin will find their muscle holds a far greater amount of nitrogen than without; as we understand being in a state of positive nitrogen retention is highly anabolic. This state of being can lead to vast although slow increases in muscle tissue and while that can lead to mass, coupled with increased collagen synthesis we experience a nice buildup in strength as well. Of equal importance if not even greater is the effect Nandrolone has on the production of IGF 1, a very powerful anabolic hormone in its own right belonging to the peptide class. While these potent anabolic qualities are very apt towards building mass and increasing strength they prove due to their action to readily promote a greater metabolic rate this simply means we are able to build a larger, yet leaner and more powerful physique as you can see Nandrolone is one amazing hormone.

All steroidal hormones carry with them possible negative side-effects, as do all medications, steroidal and non-steroidal alike, Deca Durabolin makes no exception. By far the most prominent side-effect is testosterone suppression, while all anabolic steroids will suppress natural testosterone production to one degree or another Deca Durabolin will do so in a far more pronounced manner. One dosing of this Nandrolone will result in complete testosterone suppression, even a very low dose will have this effect. For this reason it is very important to supplement with testosterone when we supplement with Deca Durabolin, failure to do so will result in leaving the body completely testosterone deficient. Most will find a 2:1 ratio of Test: Deca to be sufficient but for some the need for testosterone to be slightly higher than this will prove to be a reality.

While this hormonal compound does not aromatize to high degree some aromatizing effects commonly associated with anabolic steroids can occur; while these are largely dose dependent ones sensitivity also comes into play. Further, when used for performance enhancing purposes these effects will assuredly be a reality as the dosing will necessarily be higher than simple therapeutic use in order to achieve a desired end result. Further, because Deca Durabolin is a progestin by-which it will raise progesterone levels in the body, coupled with even a slight aromatase effect this can lead to Gynecomastia and excess water retention most commonly but this can easily be alleviated by the use of a quality aromatase inhibitor such as Arimidex or Letrozole.

As we now readily understand Deca Durabolin is simply Nandrolone with the Decanoate ester attached and there are many other Nandrolone based steroidal compounds. While Deca-Durabolin is the most common and popular form Durabolin is a close second, especially in recent years. Durabolin is simple a Nandrolone hormone attached to the Phenylpropionate ester, a much shorter ester, thereby bringing benefit faster yet not as long lasting. The mode of action regarding the hormone Nandrolone does not change due to one form or the other being used, only the ester is different. Regardless of which form you use for each 100mg your apply, while Durabolin will provide slightly more active Nandrolone per mg than Deca Durabolin due to the total mass of the Phenylpropionate ester being less than the Decanoate ester the difference is so slight it is meaningless, the same benefits are to be obtained with either form as the same active hormone is present in both. This is important because for years many misconceptions have led many to believe these two compounds differ greatly when the opposite is true. However, we must admit there is a slight difference as Durabolin or NPP as it’s commonly called seems to produce less water retention than it's brother Deca Durabolin.

Because it is so apt for strength and size most will use Deca Durabolin during a bulking cycle further, as water retention can be a problem when this steroid is used this makes periods of bulking or gaining the optimal time for use. However, as we’ve discussed excess water retention can be controlled through the use of a quality aromatase inhibitor and for this reason, as this is a powerful anabolic, many competitive bodybuilders will include Deca Durabolin in their contest prep cycles. In most cases this will be done during the front end of the contest prep cycle in an effort to preserve muscle tissue and hold on to strength. However, many will run a low dose of the steroid almost the entire length of their contest prep in order to maintain joint comfort as discomfort can become quite serious when body-fat levels drop to very low levels.

For the majority, bulking will be the primary mode of use and as this is a very slow acting but long lasting steroid and as it is generally well-tolerated by most who use it, necessarily use will extend into several months if benefits are to be enjoyed. Generally Deca Durabolin will need to be administered for at least 8 weeks with 12 weeks being optimal and 16 weeks being safe and highly effective for most individuals. Shorter duration will prove to be useless as it will take a good 4 weeks for the active benefits to begin to show making 4-6 week runs of the compound utterly useless. Most will find a dose of 200mg per week to be the minimum dosing to obtain benefits associated with growth, although a mere 100mg per week is often all that is used if joint relief is the primary concern. While 200mg is enough to spur growth most will find 400mg a week for approximately 12 weeks to be nearly a perfect dose and time frame for Deca Durabolin use. Keep in mind, you must ensure you take enough testosterone with your Deca Durabolin to ensure you keep enough active testosterone flowing in the body. For those who are looking for more of a bump 600mg per week can be successfully used, however, this is only recommended for those who have used the hormone before and understand how their bodies will react and how well they will tolerate this powerful Nandrolone even so, many will find 400mg to be all they ever need regardless of how experienced they are.

Testosterone Cypionate and Post Cycle Therapy

Testosterone Cypionate is one of the many synthetic versions of testosterone. It is the second most popular testosterone variant after another synthetic version, Testosterone enanthate. It is usually delivered to the body in the form of an oil-soluble intramuscular injection. In this form, it is called Depo - Testosterone.

In powder form, Testosterone Cypionate is creamy white with nearly no odor. It is stable in air and dissolves in alcohol, vegetable oil, ether, and chloroform but does not dissolve in water. Testosterone Cypionate (GP Test Cyp) is basically esterified testosterone, so it has increased lipid solubility. Nearly 90% of an injection is excreted in urine as sulfuric acid and glucuronic acid conjugates of testosterone and its related metabolites. It is not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age. Also, it should not be used by women, especially those who are pregnant, because it may cause damage to the fetus.

Testosterone Cypionate (GP Test Cyp) is used as a replacement for natural testosterone in men, who are suffering from low testosterone levels. It is a prescription drug and legally speaking, it can be given only when testosterone deficiency has been confirmed through symptoms or blood tests. The body cannot store testosterone, which means if you are suffering from a deficiency you will have to continue taking these injections at regular intervals and in proper doses. Apart from individuals who are suffering from low levels of testosterone, it is also used by many athletes and body builders for its anabolic properties.

Testosterone Cypionate can help promote fat loss, increase sex drive, help in gaining muscle mass, and increase the density of bone. Like testosterone, Testosterone Cypionate (GP Test Cyp) also has an anabolic and androgenic rating of 100. It has a long half-life and a slow release rate of about 8-10 days. It is similar to Testosterone Enanthate in its effect and you can even switch between them. Nearly 14 million men in the US, above the age of 45 years, have testosterone deficiency. It can lead to a loss of strength and muscle mass, diminished sexual performance and libido, body fat increase, and low levels of energy. Low testosterone levels can also lead to diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and more. Like all anabolic steroids, the more you take in Testosterone Cypionate, the more will be the rewards, but when you do this, the incidence of side effects also increase. It can be bought in two strengths – 100mg and 200 mg. Since it is absorbed slowly, you can inject it at an interval of two or four weeks. Many factors determine how much Testosterone Cypionate (GP Test Cyp) a person can take safely. These include body weight, medical conditions, and the intake of other medicines. Usually, an adult male can take a dose of 200 mg of Testosterone Cypionate (GP Test Cyp) every fourteen days. The gluteal muscle in the buttocks is the usual site of injection.

Some individuals split the intake of Testosterone Cypionate into smaller but equal doses, which are then injected over a period of time. The advantage of this method is that it keeps the level of the steroid in the blood at a peak and it also controls the side effects that may result from using large doses. Smaller doses also mean that the body has to deal with fewer steroids at one time. Regardless of what dose you use, you will find that Testosterone Cypionate (GP Test Cyp) is well tolerated by the body and you can use it for long cycles. Some individuals even run Testosterone Cypionate cycles of 12 weeks to 16 weeks.

Note that you may need to have a Post Cycle Therapy plan in place before you end your Testosterone Cypionate (GP Test Cyp) cycle. But again, this depends on the length of the off-period (the time when you will not be taking any steroids). If this off-period is more than 10 weeks, you will need Post Cycle Therapy.

Increasing your dosage suddenly might actually slow down results. This is because the body converts any excess testosterone into estrogen, by a process called aromatase. It is a natural reaction and the body does it so that a normal hormone level can be maintained. So, taking large doses is not a good idea.

Women are advised not to take Testosterone Cypionate because it has strong androgenic properties. After all, testosterone is primarily a male androgen. But on the other hand, women can also have low testosterone levels and they may benefit from taking anabolic steroids. In this case, the dosage should be very low and should be carefully watched out for.The side effects of Testosterone cypionate can be easily controlled. It is not guaranteed that these side effects will even occur. It will all depend on the dose that you take, whether you are genetically predisposed to them, and your current health. Here is little more about the side effects that can be expected.

Testosterone Cypionate (GP Test Cyp) is another form of testosterone, so there will be aromatase activity. As the level of estrogen in the blood rises, it can lead to water retention and gynecomastia. So, many body builders do not prefer Testosterone Cypionate (GP Test Cyp) for gaining muscle mass. When they do take it, they will stack it with other anabolic steroids. To deal with gynecomastia, many individuals take SERMs or selective estrogen receptor modulators like Tamoxifen Citrate or aromatase inhibitors like Anastrozole. Side effects like hair loss (in men who have a predisposition to male pattern baldness), acne, and prostate enlargement have also been noticed after the dosage of Testosterone Cypionate.

Benefits of Testoviron Stack

Testoviron is a blend of two different products, namely testosterone with the propionate (short) ester attached, and testosterone with the Enanthate (long) ester attached. Testosterone is usually attached to an ester (i.e. when you buy testosterone propionate, or Enanthate the components of this particular drug, you are buying testosterone with a Propionate ester attached and testosterone with an Enanthate ester attached, both in the same milliliter of drug). These esters determines how long it takes your body to dispose of the testosterone, and propionate is the shortest ester commonly available with a testosterone base (of course, testosterone suspension has no ester), whereas Enanthate is the longest generally available with a testosterone base. Within your body, there are enzymes, called esterases, which have the function of removing the ester from steroids, and leaving you with just the steroid molecule with the ester cleaved off. Depending on how heavy the ester chain is, that determines how long it takes the esterase to remove it.
Testoviron is a blend of two different products, Testosterone Propionate (short ester) and Testosterone Enanthate (long ester).

Testosterone is responsible for promoting health and well-being through enhanced libido, energy, immunity, increased fat loss, gaining and maintaining lean muscle mass, preventing Osteoporosis (loss of bone density) and possible protection against heart disease. Testosterone is also responsible for normal growth and development of male sex organs and maintenance of secondary sex characteristics. Secondary sex characteristics are specific traits that separate the two sexes, but are not directly part of the reproductive system, for example: chest and facial hair, a distinguished jaw line, broad shoulders and increased muscle mass. Testosterone binds to the Androgen Receptors (AR), which thus causes accelerated muscle gain, fat loss, and muscle repair and growth. These mechanisms are stimulated by activation of the Androgen Receptors (either directly or as DHT).

There are many possible side-effects associated with its use. This product also has a high level of aromatization into estrogen and coverts to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) as well. Also, supplementing Testosterone to your body will result in the shutting down of the body’s natural production of the hormone. The severity of side effects depend mostly on the levels and duration of circulating free testosterone, and its conversion to substrates. Testosterone’s anabolic/androgenic effects are dependant upon dosage, the higher the dose the higher the muscle building effect (and often, it’s side effects). Testosterone promotes aggressive and dominant behavior.

Testosterone’s anabolic/androgenic effects are dependant upon the dose administered; usually the higher the dose, the better the results. In a study done on Testosterone Enanthate in this case), a dose as high as 600 mg’s (per week) produced better results in subjects compared to those who received all of the lower doses. At the highest dose, 600 mg/week, the greatest results were achieved in comparison to any of the lower doses studied. The highest fat loss, most muscle growth, and increased size and strength were achieved at the higher dose. In the same study, HDL cholesterol was lowered and the subjects experienced acne. There was roughly a 15% gain in Lean Body Mass from 20 weeks of 600mgs/week of Testosterone therapy.

Overall, the most common report by subjects using testosterone was immense gains in strength. Alterations in size, shape, and appearance of the muscle were reported.

Due to stimulation of the Androgen Receptors (either directly or as DHT), accelerated muscle gain, fat loss, increased muscle repair and growth was experienced. Testosterone binds to the A.R. on fat cells; therefore, adipose (fat) tissue can be broken down more readily while new fat formation is prevented. Since the body is building muscle at an accelerated rate, more ingested food is shuttled directly to the muscle tissue (this is known as nutrient portioning) and away from fat. This is another indirect effect of testosterone on fat loss. Testosterone also promotes glycogen synthesis, which is activated by insulin in response to high glucose levels. Glycogen provides fuel to the muscle, therefore endurance and strength increases were reported during severe muscle breakdown in intense training and workouts.

Testosterone also converts to both Estrogen and Dihydrotestosterone (through 5a-reduction). Most of the side effects people experience with testosterone use is actually from it’s conversion to these two substrates. Hair loss, water retention, acne, and other side effects are possible with use of this drug.

Testoviron is actually a very decent anabolic, and is very rarely counterfeited any longer. Basically, what we’re looking at is a nice pre-mixed blend of Testosterone with a long ester (Enanthate) and a short ester (Propionate). If I were personally to make my own test blend to use every other day, it would most likely be something very similar to Testoviron.

The short ester will give you a nice spike in testosterone levels, albeit one that decays very quickly, while the longer ester will allow a very slow decay in blood plasma levels.

One of the primary advantages to this version of testosterone is that it is very rarely faked because products like Sustanon (a 4 ester blend) fetch a higher price, and if you’re going to counterfeit an amp, it may as well be the one which will earn you the highest profit for your trouble. This is why we never see counterfeit “Sten” amps (a very low dosed preparation of testosterone) and this basically holds true for Testoviron as well.

Testoviron Stack:

What stacks well with Testoviron? Well, since its a testosterone with both a short and long acting component, I suppose the answer is everything and nothing. Since its got a short ester in it, you would have to inject it every other day, so you may as well run another short acting drug with it (Trenbolone Acetate, or whatever). However, since its got a long acting component to it, you may consider using a longer acting drug with it (Deca or Eq), the downfall here is that you dont get the full benefit of shooting test prop alone (less water retention, etc...) but you still have to shoot as frequently as if you were only using prop. The testosterone Enanthate is long acting, but you're still going to be shooting this compound every other day to make use of the Propionate component. Thus, the advantage of testosterone Enanthate (reduced shooting frequency) is negated. Many peoples favorites are Equipoise (Boldenone Undeclyenate) or Deca (Nandrolone Decanoate), but really, anything will stack well with Testoviron. Tren (Trenbolone Acetate), Masteron and Winstrol are also favorites for many on a cutting cycle, and its important to note that a product to fight water-retention and other estrogenic sides would be warranted if Testoviron were used for a cutting cycle.

Finally, its worth noting that sometimes a strategy known as "front loading" is employed with products like this one, since it contains both testosterone Propionate, and Enanthate. This is where double or triple the intended dose for the cycle is injected for the first two weeks and the Propionate ester gives a very quick rise in blood plasma levels of testosterone, and then the Enanthate ester is relied on for a more even blood level in the ensuing weeks. The reasoning behind this is presumably to get the blood levels of the drug up quickly in the hopes of seeing results more quickly, and then have the blood levels even out and stay constant.

The Benefits of Aromasin in bodybuilding

Aromasin is the trade name for Exemestane, a drug used to treat breast cancer in women. Similarly to arimidex, it is member of the aromatase inhibitor class of drugs. The drug was FDA approved in 1999 and has become very popular across the globe in post menopausal women. Aromasin is a suicidal aromatase inhibitor (AI), meaning it permanently disables the aromatase enzyme once it binds to it. In plain English, Aromasin will prevent the currently bound enzymes from rebounding, which is what separates this drug from Letrozole or Arimidex. When you use other AI’s, they temporarily stop estrogen from aromatizing, but when you stop taking them those same enzymes can rebound causing what is known as ‘estrogen rebound’. This explains why some anabolic steroid users experience gynecomastia (bitch tits) after cycle when using other AI’s. Studies on breast cancer patients have shown Aromasin reduced estrogen levels up to 85%. Certain anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) convert to estrogen in the body; all testosterone esters, Nandrolones, dianabol, and Boldenone are examples. If not controlled, the user runs the risk of developing several types of estrogen side effects such as gynecomastia (bitch tits), water retention, blood pressure and heart problems. There is a domino effect that can occur if estrogen gets out of control.  Just imagine carrying around two gallons of water all day.

The user may notice feeling rundown and tired, blood pressure will soar, and motivation will decrease. These side effects will defeat the purpose of running steroids in the first place. In addition, high estrogen levels, when coming off a cycle, will interfere with recovery of the bodies natural testosterone levels.

On the other hand, if you run a harsh AI, which eliminates too much estrogen, it can also have negative effects on libido, mood, and dry out the joints. Since Aromasin is a suicide aromatase inhibitor, you should work on controlling the dosage and tailoring it to your cycle. Don’t just use random dosages without looking at your whole steroid cycle. Very similar in many ways to other aromatase inhibitors, particularly Arimidex and Letrozole, Aromasin has some characteristics unique unto its own. Like all aromatase inhibitors Aromasin is useful to the steroid using athlete in the prevention of unwanted side-effects such as Gynecomastia and excess water retention. By its mode of action Aromasin inhibits the conversion of estrogen in the body; as many anabolic steroids convert to estrogen after administration due to the aromatase process, Aromasin actively inhibits this process. By its inhibiting nature the total amount of estrogen in the body is reduced and blocked from binding thereby preventing common associated adverse side-effects. While the aromatase inhibiting effect is its primary function and primary reason for using Aromasin it also carries with it other characteristics that may be of interest to the anabolic steroid user. Aromasin has been shown to greatly stimulate natural testosterone production by a slight androgenic nature. While other aromatase inhibitors can also increase total testosterone production Aromasin actively does so while increasing natural IGF 1 production as well, Arimidex and Letrozole cannot boast such a claim.

For the anabolic androgenic steroid using athlete the most important question is when is the best time to use Aromasin as it can be effectively used while on cycle for the prevention of estrogenic related side-effects as well as during post cycle therapy (PCT.) It can be used for both purposes but most will find PCT periods to be best served with SERMs and hCG and the use of aromatase inhibitors while on cycle to be the most efficient method of practice. If you are on the verge of using Aromasin immediately or after your anabolic steroid cycle, it is critical that you have good knowledge of the benefits of the drug, tips while using this drug and also the precautions you need to take while using this drug.

Aromasin has an active life of about 24-40 hours. It has been used by athletes and bodybuilders both as an aromatose inhibitor on those harsh, aromatizable steroids. Aromasin works by inhibiting the production of estrogen in the body and initiating a restoration of natural hormone production. Aromasin is also potent enough to facilitate reversal of estrogen-induced negative reactions such as acne, oily skin and bloating within 3-5 weeks of usage. Aromasins also have the capability to greatly enhance the bioavailability of the anabolic steroids being used in the steroid cycles. Aromasin use in Post cycle therapy

As discussed Aromasin is an aromatose inhibtor which can reduce estrogen levels dramatically and enhance testosterone production. Aromasin however is not the most popular aromatose inhibitor in the market today as bodybuilders and athletes continue to prefer Arimidex and Letrozole over it. The reason is simple really, Aromasins came into the market much after the Arimidex or Letrozole so it has yet to receive the cult following the other two drugs command. Aromasin was introduced by a company called Pharmacia and Upjohn in the year 1999. Moreover, aromasins are not as widely availabe as Arimidex or Letrozole.  When there are the other  well accepted aromatose inhibitors in the market why should you consider Aromasin as your aromatose inhibitor of choice?  Letrozole and Arimidex can reduce estrogen levels up to 98% in the body which is more effective than the 85% of Aromasin. But a 98% reduction of estrogen can have complications for the user such as hindered muscle gain and a decrease in sex drive. Aromasin when taken in controlled dosages of 25mg per day leaves a sufficient amount of estrogen in the body and also promotes free development of insulin and testosterone in the body. Combining Aromasin with Nolvadex during post steroidal cycle therapy is potentially a better combination because of aromasin's capability of facilitating testosterone production which is considered vital in the post cycle therapy process.

Nolvadex is also known to greatly diminish the blood plasma levels of aromatose inhibitors like Letrozole or Arimidex, which means they are not bound to be as effective when used with nolvadex in the post cycle therapy. If you still go with these aromatose inhibitors you are wasting your money as Nolvadex has already reduced their effectiveness. Aromasin however remains unaffected by Nolvadex in this respect and should be considered as the aromatose inhibitor of choice. The reason Aromasin remains largely unaffected is because it is a type-I aromatose inhibitor meaning that once it has completed its job of deactivating the aromatase enzyme, you would not need it anymore. However, other aromatose inhibitors like Letrozole need to be present in the body for long periods of time which allows Nolvadex to intervene and alter their pharmacokinetics resulting in them losing their effectiveness.

Also, during Post cycle theraphy, Aaromasin cut down the production of Sex hormone Binding Globulin(SHBG) by at least 20% in males. SHBG is a notorious enzyme which attaches itself to testosterone and is known to render it useless for the purpose of body building. Other aromatose inhibitors do not have the potential to reduce SHBG.

The recommended and optimum usage of Aromasin is about a single dose of 50mg per day. After meals though, taking a single dose of 25mg can be potent enough to reduce the estrogen levels in the body by a dramatic 70-80% within 24 hours of consumption. Aromasin is not suitable for pregnant women and those who are lactating, children, those allergic to Aromasin or its other components, those being treated for prostrate of testicular cancer, high blood pressure patients and those having a history of stroke occurrence or liver damage etc.

Turinabol in bodybuilding

Oral Turinabol is actually a version of Methandrostenolone with extra chlorine atom in the fourth position. Hence the official name of Turinabol is  4-chloro-alpha-Dihydromethyltestosteron. This upgrade has made the drug practically non-aromatized. Even more, Turinabol metabolites very quickly leave the body, making huge advantage against the threat of doping tests. Like the vast majority of oral AAS oral Turinabol is 17-alpha alkylated, thus is potentially harmful to the liver. However, negative impact on the liver was not reported even after prolonged use. Oral Turinabol sufficiently resembles Methandrostenolone not only on the structure of the molecule but the action of both drugs is also very similar. Turinabol produces less gains, but this is “quality”, lean mass and also it produces less side effects. Despite Turinabol does not aromatize and is quite mild drug, prolonged usage may cause the suppression of secretion of endogenous testosterone but at much lesser extent comparing to Methandrostenolone (Dianabol) and it’s easily rejuvenated.

The difference between oral and injectable Turinabol is like with most of other steroids. Oral is easier to take but in theory it may be harmful to the liver, so one can sustain higher dosages of injectable version. Furthermore, injectable is slightly more detected. But, in general, this is a matter of personal preferences.

In bodybuilding Turinabol can be called a rookie. Not surprising – in the past “pharmacological king” in Eastern Europe used to be relatively cheap Methandrostenolone (Dianabol). All Turinabol smuggled from Eastern Germany was captured by light athletics coaches. Western Europe and USA even did not know that such product exists, at least no bodybuilders reported they ever used it. At-first Turinabol notably raises power. Secondly, as has been said, oral turinabol quickly leaves the body and not found in the urine within 6-8 days after end of usage. We have not heard about any positive doping tests for Turinabol. However, it may be because such tests are simply not being made nowadays. A positive feature of the drug can be considered as giving hardness to the muscles without any significant accumulation of water. Experience shows that using of Turinabol is almost mandatory in contest preparation stacks. Also it copes with the task of protection of muscle mass against destruction after bulking cycles.

Turanabol is mostly used to build  lean body mass and strength without water retention, which often occurs with Dianabol and testosterone. The results with Turanabol straightly depends on the daily dosage, which normally varies between 20 to 100 mg. Athletes below 90 kgs experience no side effects at 20 mg daily and more heavy athletes easily adopt 40 – 50 mg daily.

When administered 50 mg / ED it significantly increases dry muscle mass, strength, and all of this without water retention, which can cause serious side effects due to estrogen activity. Because of these characteristics, Turanabol is very effective product for power lifters. In order to increase the results at the end of the course it is recommended to combine this drug with Parabolan (200 mg every week) or with Stanozolol (150 mg every week). This is very good pre-competition combo as well. The above combination allows us to construct a relief and build muscle without any additional fat-burners and guaranteed against side effects such as gynecomastia and excessive estrogen.

In light athletics dosage is following: body weight in pounds divided by 10. For bodybuilders dosage is: body weight in kilograms divided by 1.5-2 (normally it’s 1.5 times more than your daily Dianabol dosage).

The Benefits of Anavar

Anavar was developed to manage conditions of muscle wasting and quick weight loss, as is a common reason for inception with any anabolic steroid. Developed in 1964, by Searle Laboratories to treat such conditions, Searle is no longer in existence as it was bought and absorbed into Pfizer in 2003.  As you can see Searle developed some very significant products over the years and its development of Anavar is no exception because with its inception one of the safest anabolic steroids for both men and women would hit the shelves.

Comprised of Oxandrolone, Anavar as it is commonly known is a Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) anabolic steroid with almost no androgenic qualities and peaceful anabolic properties. An oral steroid, Anavar is like most oral steroids a C17alpha-alkylated medication (17-aa) signification it has been altered at the 17th carbon position to allow it to survive ingestion by surviving the first pass through the liver; without the 17-aa alteration the steroid would be destroyed before it ever entered the blood stream. By this alteration the steroid is allowed to survive and enter the blood stream where it becomes active and the benefits are received. As you may grasp the 17-aa procedure can be toxic to the liver, for this reason many individuals will avoid oral anabolic steroids but as it pertains to Anavar we must build an exception. Unlike most 17-aa medications Anavar appears to be very mild on the liver, so mild that most who use it experience little to no elevation in liver enzymes.

As a very mild anabolic steroid Anavar is not well-suited for bulking cycles or gaining phases; you will not produce a vast amount of lean muscle tissue through its use when speaking of execution enhancing purposes; however, what is produced will be solid muscle tissue. The greatest benefits associated with this particular steroid lie within muscle preservation and metabolic activity. This simply means Anavar has the ability to not only aid in reducing corpse-fat but preserving muscle tissue while on a calorie restricted diet; further, the more muscle tissue we have the greater our metabolic activity will be thereby increasing the rate in-which corpse-fat is utilized for energy. Because Anavar is apt for fat reduction and muscle preservation it is commonly used by build athletes during their competition preparation, as well as by common gym rats who simply want to look leaner and tighter at the beach.

The Side-Effects of Anavar:
Most anabolic steroids carry with them the possibility of many adverse side-effects. It is significant to keep in mind these side-effects are only possible, they are by no means guaranteed or assured and are largely avoidable when used responsibly. However, negative side-effects can occur when steroids are abused and even in some who are sensitive even though they use responsibly they may fall prey to negative outcomes; the same can be said of Aspirin. While many anabolic steroids carry vast possible negative side-effects such as estrogenic related due to aromatization, Anavar does not possess these traits. Anavar does not aromatize making common side-effects such as Gynecomastia little to no concern; Further, as most steroids are very suppressive to normal testosterone production Anavar is very peaceful in this regard, so peaceful that one could take Anavar and still make some natural testosterone. However, some suppression will still exist and the extent will largely be portion dependent.
