Important! The “Your Trainer” website does not sell or encourage the use of anabolic steroids and other potent substances. The information is provided so that those who decide to take them do so as competently as possible and with minimal risk to health.

Stanozolol is the active ingredient in a number of injectable and tablet drugs of the AAS class (androgenic-anabolic steroids). In this article we will look at the injection form of release.

The injectable form of stanozolol is represented on the AAS market by such trade names as: Winstrol Depot 50 mg/ml, Stromba 50 mg/ml, as well as a number of veterinary drugs with a dosage of 100 mg/ml.

A distinctive feature of the injection form is that the active substance is dissolved in water. That is why quite frequent injections are relevant when using it.

Pills or injections?

Injections

Injections on the stanozolol market are represented by the following drugs:

• Stromba 50 mg/ml.
• Winstrol Depot 50 mg/ml.
• Veterinary drugs from 100 mg/ml.

A feature of the injection type is the dissolution of the active substance in an aqueous solution. This explains its frequent use in practice.

Due to the fact that the drug is administered intramuscularly quite often, in addition to the gluteal muscle, the active area is the triceps, deltoids, biceps, and thighs.

Pills

Many people who use the tablet form in practice note a weak effect on the body, unlike injections. Strength increases, there is a significant increase in lean muscle mass, and water accumulates to a minimum. However, if we compare the results obtained from injections, then the best difference is in the direction of injections.

Some believe that the reason for this is the lower concentration of Stanozolol in “pills” compared to ampoules. Others refute this conclusion, relying on the fact that when the drug is taken orally, part of its effect is neutralized by the liver. To reach a dose of 50 mg/day, you need to take 10-25 tablets, but this amount causes stomach and intestinal upset, and also increases the load on the liver.

Stanozolol as a testosterone derivative

Stanozolol (alternative name Winstrol) belongs to a group of steroids derived from dehydrotestosterone , which were originally used in the treatment of diseases (the substance was discovered in 1962). Initially, the drug was used as an adaptogen for muscular dystrophy, traumatic and burn injuries, and anemia.

In recent decades, it has been used as a component of sports nutrition for bodybuilders , boxers, participants in athletics and weightlifting, as well as ultimate fights.

Indications for taking Stanozolol in sports:

• 
  slow “drying” processes;

• insufficient relief;
• decreased endurance;
• loss of appetite.

on the market - ampoules and tablets . The long existence of the product on the market has led to the emergence of a large number of manufacturers, among which the most famous are: Stanazolol olymp (Turkey), Stanoliq (China), Strombafort (Moldova) and Strombaject Aqua (Moldova).

Tablets are available in 10, 50 and 100 mg (price range from 500 to 900 rubles per pack of 100), ampoules - 50 mg/ml and 100 mg/ml (price range - from 200 to 1,000 rubles per ampoule). Stanazolol is supplied to pharmacy chains, but in limited quantities, while it is almost always available at sports nutrition points of sale.

Taboo on admission:

1. allergy to the substance stanozolol;
2. prostate cancer and prostatitis;
3. liver and kidney failure;
4. minor age.

Taking Stanozolol increases the load on the heart , causing more frequent heartbeat and myocardial hypertrophy, so the steroid should not be taken by people suffering from atherosclerosis and ischemia. There are two sides to the coin with the effect of increased fluid loss from the body, which puts you at risk of damaging joints and ligaments during exercise.

The positive result of this effect is manifested by the absence of deceptive changes in body size caused by the influx of water to the tissues. The effect is dictated by the absence of aromatization process, excluding the formation of edema and gynecomastia in the athlete.

Fact. The anabolic activity of Stanozolol surpasses most other steroids and is an impressive 320%.

With the injection form of administration of the drug, muscle spasms and, occasionally, headaches also sometimes develop. Among the side effects, there is an increase in masculinization, traditional for anabolic drugs, formed by accelerating hair growth, the appearance of acne and a decrease in the timbre of the voice. However, the relatively low androgenic effect of the drug provides only minor changes in the emphasis of secondary sexual characteristics.

Stanozolol course

To take the drug, it is recommended to use products from original manufacturers; the content of the substance in both injections and tablets is approximately the same. For a visual comparison, the ratio is shown in the table below:

Based on the data in the table, injection use is better suited for bodybuilding, while the tablet form is suitable for powerlifting.

But pharmacology is constantly evolving and new products with even greater concentrations of the substance appear on the market. For example, one of these new products is the injection drug Stanozolik from Ilium, located in Australia. The drug itself contains a concentration of 100 mg/ml.

Another innovation is tablets from Ttokkyo, where the concentration of the substance reaches 10 mg/tablet. The practical application of similar products from Australian and Asian manufacturers reduces the number of tablets and injections used.

The dosages presented in the table are approximate calculations; if you strongly desire, they can be increased, but you should remember the side effects with increased doses.

One of the main disadvantages of Stanozolol is the removal of fluid from the joints.

When choosing a form of an anabolic steroid, first of all you should find out for what purposes it will be used. If you are powerlifting, then you can take pills; if you are bodybuilding, then injections are better.

If the choice fell on tablets, then under the conditions of the concentration of the substance 2-5 mg. in one tablet, the daily dose must be divided into 2 pieces. in the morning, 2 pcs. during meals and 2 pcs. In the evening. Taking it in tablet form involves drinking large amounts of water. This will reduce stomach and intestinal upset and allow the substance to be absorbed faster.

Anabolic steroids, to be or not to be? Leave a comment

Very often, people who work out in the gym ask themselves: to use chemicals or not? One can argue on this topic endlessly, but as practice shows, there is practically not a single really big and sculpted “natural” bodybuilder; there are, of course, people with excellent genetics, but there are very few of them, one in 10,000? At 100,000? and since you are reading this article, it is unlikely that you are one. I am in no way promoting steroids, this is everyone’s individual choice. Today we will talk about those who finally decided. After all, life is too short to swing into “straight”.

The most popular questions asked by athletes before a course are: “What drugs should I use? What dosage should I use and for how long? How much will I pick, how much salt will I add?” However, there is no single correct answer for everyone; everything is purely individual and depends on the desire, aspiration and characteristics of the body.

The first thing you need to decide for yourself is “What are your goals?” The second thing to consider is, “Are these goals reasonable?” Too often people want to simultaneously burn a large amount of fat and gain a large amount of muscle while using light and safe steroids ( Ocasandorolone , Primobolan , Turinabol, Stanozolol ). First you need to come up with some real goals that do not contradict each other. In this article we will look at goals and ways to achieve them. In all cases, we refer to steroid use—by men. Women should use significantly lower doses to avoid problems with virilization, and even using low doses can cause unpleasant effects.

Course planning

When planning a course, you should take into account what drugs will be on the course, how long the course will be, and what dosage pattern to use. If you do not pursue competitive goals, then the standard regimen is quite suitable: 300-500 mg of each injectable drug and 30-40 mg per day of the tablet drug.

When using long drugs, the half-life (half-life of the drug from the body) exceeds 7 days, there is no point in taking short courses. A course with such drugs should last a minimum of 6 weeks, as a rule, the real increase in strength does not begin until the third week or so. While muscle mass may be gained in the first two weeks, the body also adapts this way. When planning short courses, you need to use short drugs, such as: Testosterone Propionate, Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, Trenbolone Acetate. When using short courses, you can take less rest between courses, since complete elimination takes 3-4 days.

It is very important that the frequency of injections is not less frequent than the half-life; it is even better to do the injections a little earlier than half of the drug is eliminated from the body. This will allow you to maintain an even background level of testosterone in the body. To complete the picture, let's look at the half-life table of various esters:

It is important to remember that the longer the course, the greater the likelihood of side effects and the harder and longer it will be to exit the course.

Some more very important tips:

— For long courses, it is recommended to use hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) after the fourth week, 500 units per week and until the end of the course, including the half-life of the “longest” drug.

— Be sure to remember to use Anastrozole in courses with highly aromatizing drugs.

— All Trenbolones and Nandrolones are recommended to be combined with testosterone to reduce the risk of side effects.

— When using drugs that increase prolactin, again Trenbolones and Nandrolone Oxymetholone , it is recommended to use prolactin inhibitors, the most popular and affordable is Bromocriptine , which does its job perfectly.

Muscle gain

Let's look at the first goal mentioned: gaining muscle mass. Now this goal greatly depends on how “advanced” you are in terms of mass. Let's divide gym goers into three groups:

1. A beginner is an athlete who recently joined the gym and has not really gained muscle mass; even the lightest drugs and “solo” courses (one drug per course) are suitable for such athletes. Almost all drugs can be used “solo”: Danabol (methane), Turinabol , Oxandrolone , Testosterone Propionate , Enanthate , Cypionate , Sustanon . Or courses of two drugs Enantan + Turinabol , Sustanon + Turinabol . Turinabol can be replaced with Methane and vice versa.

1. Experienced - An athlete who has been training hard for several years and may be close to his genetic limit without the use of steroids. It will probably achieve excellent results even with a dosage of 500 mg of Sustanon per week, for example, and will certainly achieve it when included in the course of Danabol (methane) or Turinabol. For athletes of this level, courses of 2-3 drugs are perfect, the combinations of which are huge. The most popular courses are Deca + Sust + Methane or Turinabol instead of methane, Sustanon + Turinabol + Boldenone, Enanthate + Turinabol + Boldenone, and many other combinations.

1. A professional athlete who has already gained 15-20 kg of muscle mass with the help of steroids is unlikely to be able to continue to gain with a regimen of 500 mg of testosterone per week. At best, this will help them maintain the mass they already have. To continue gaining muscle mass, they will have to take about 1g of the same Sustanon per week and 50mg per day of oral medications. The more muscle mass in the body, the heavier the subsequent kilograms are. For athletes of this level, more severe courses are recommended, including more than three drugs with the addition of various Trenbolones - Acetate, Enanthate, Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate (Parabolan) or Tri-Tren.

Fat Burning

The second goal we'll look at is burning fat with steroids. Why is it recommended to separate muscle gain and fat burning into separate phases? Because it is very difficult to do this at the same time, especially if a person is prone to gaining excess weight. It is impossible to accurately calculate the caloric intake that will be required to gain muscle mass without overeating or gaining excess weight, because when using AAS, metabolism increases and the body absorbs everything. Even professionals gain weight first in the off-season and then dry off before competition. This is the most obvious example.

Anabolic steroids themselves do not burn fat, they are just assistants, increasing metabolism. An essential component, without which nothing will work, is a proper diet. Usually, eliminating fast carbohydrates (sweets, starchy foods) from the diet is enough.

So, let's look at the steroids that are most often used for weight loss. In truth, all anabolic androgenic steroids help burn fat, but there are some that have a more pronounced effect:

Oxandrolone (Anavar) is one of the best and most popular steroids for burning fat. It is incredibly popular among athletes during cutting because it is incredibly anabolic in nature, 400% of its own testosterone. Also, using this drug will help preserve muscles while losing weight. For men, a dose of 30-50 mg per day is sufficient; Women should use no more than 10-15 mg per day. Usually the course lasts 4-6 weeks.

Stanozolol (Winstrol) is a very popular option when it comes to burning fat, its sheer versatility and affordability makes it ideal for most athletes. Losing weight does not require a high dosage of the drug. Many professionals recommend using 30-40 mg per day for six to eight weeks, although you can choose the length of the course according to your needs.

Boldenone (Equipoise) is another fairly popular and gentle product when it comes to burning fat, and it also works great when it comes to maintaining muscle mass. The dosage for men is about 400 mg per week.

Primobolan is one of the most well-tolerated anabolic steroids and is used regularly by many athletes. It does not aromatize into estrogens, which eliminates the most common side effects such as water retention and gynecomastia. The dosage is 200-400 mg per week.

Trenbolone is the most powerful drug on our list. Unlike most anabolic steroids, Trenbolone has a direct effect on lipolysis, it binds to androgen receptors, which creates a fat burning scenario. Additionally, by its nature, Trenbolone greatly enhances the effectiveness of nutrients. Trenbolone also promotes the release of natural IGF-1 peptide hormone. The secreted growth hormone interacts with the liver, which in turn begins to release IGF-1, which is responsible for almost all the beneficial effects of growth hormone: fat burning, definition, muscle growth, etc. Of course, many steroids promote the release of IGF-1, but Trenbolone makes it much faster.

Clenbuterol is a non-steroidal drug, but it is also widely used when it comes to burning fat, and is also one of the most popular and harmless drugs. Clenbuterol is a bronchodilator that has stimulant and thermogenic effects. It not only provides energy, but also increases body temperature and improves overall metabolism.

These drugs do not work miracles, so even with them you will have to work hard and limit yourself in the food you consume. All you need is desire and patience!

Safety on the course

Not the last factor when choosing steroids is the side effects of each of them. It is very important to know what is behind the dark side of steroid use, because forewarned is forearmed!

The most common side effect is conversion to estrogen, which leads to water retention and gynecomastia. Such side effects are observed when using drugs such as: Danabol (Methane), Testosterone (all types, including Sustanon), Nandrolone (Deca), Oxymetholone (by its chemical nature it does not aromatize, but it increases prolactin levels and can cause such a side effect as "prolactin gyno"). The best aromatase inhibitor today is Anastrozole , which prevents the formation of estrogen. Unlike Tamoxifen , which only prevents already formed estrogen receptors from receiving estrogen, and does not stop production at the source.

Based on practice, some people get flooded with methane, while others don’t get a single gram of water from Sustanon, this again confronts us with the individual characteristics of the body. The optimal dosage is determined by analysis, but in general we are accustomed to using a prophylactic regimen of 0.5 mg every other day. Many sources, including American ones, say that some drugs included in combination with aromatizing drugs eliminate the problem of estrogen, but this has not been 100% proven, so it is recommended to rely on your own feelings or, better yet, tests.

“Antiestrogen” drugs Primobolan (Methenolone), Trenbolone , Oxandrolone , Stanozolol (Winstrol) and Drostanolone (Masteron).

Another side effect that cannot be ignored is the hepatotoxicity of tablet steroids. In fact, all tablet steroids are toxic to the liver, as they are alpha-17-alkylated. But they are dangerous only with very long courses, high dosages or liver problems. All known tablet steroids are toxic, but how toxic depends on the dosage. Oxandrolone is considered to have minimal toxicity, Stanozolol and Methane have slightly greater toxicity. Oxymetholone is considered the most toxic , only because it requires high dosages.

Recovery after the course

Typically, post-cycle therapy (PCT) begins after the half-life of the longest drug used in the course. And no matter how trivial it may sound, it all starts with tribulus, it is advisable not to save money and take quality products. At the same time as Tribulus, we start taking Clomid, which stimulates LH and FSH and helps restore your own testosterone levels as quickly as possible. It is also recommended to take Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6, all combined in the excellent ZMA supplement. This supplement is available from almost all sports nutrition manufacturers. After the course, it is imperative to focus on sports nutrition, a large amount of protein and amino acids, which prevent the production of cortisol and, therefore, reduce catabolism.

Approximately three weeks after PCT, tests must be taken: testosterone, estradiol, LH, FSH, prolactin, LT, AST and bilirubin. And based on the analyzes, draw conclusions about the completion of restoration or the continuation of the alignment of some analyzes.

Stanozolol tablets for women

If girls decide to take a course of stanozolol, then they should approach this issue carefully. During the day, the dose should be more than 10-15 mg. /day. This will reduce the negative impact on the liver and gastrointestinal tract.

The advantage of the drug in tablets in comparison with other anabolic drugs is the absence of the virilization effect (changes in the body that cause masculine manifestations - timbre of voice, hair growth, acquisition of a masculine body type), especially if the daily dose is evenly distributed over the course of the day. This trick cannot be done with injections.

Stanozolol combination

1. When preparing for fitness and bodybuilding competitions, combinations of stanozolol and injectable Primobolone performed well;
2. Stanozolol is not recommended to be taken as a “solo” course. For high-quality weight gain, combinations with nandrolone, testosterone and methandrostenolone are used;
3. For powerlifting, combinations with methane, nandrolone, testosterone and turinabol are often used.
4. Stanozolol received the greatest reviews in combination with propionate, which allows you to build muscle mass and significantly increase strength indicators. The combination allows you to get rid of excess fat deposits and remove water well, which allows you to make your muscles firm and prominent. This effect can be obtained as a result of intense training; taking it without physical activity will not give the expected result.

Stanozolol and propionate are often used by ordinary people in the spring to prepare their body for the beach season.

How to take the course correctly

The number of drugs used assumes a course length of 5 weeks, this is not a lot and not a little, but you will be able to get a good result. The regimen for this course is quite simple, but it must be followed if you want to get a truly high-quality result.

Trenbolone enanthate is a strong anabolic steroid for gaining muscle mass and increasing strength. The average recommended dosage is 400 mg. per week, that's 2 ml. Thus, you should take 1 ml. trenbolone enanthate 2 times a week. Days for intramuscular injections: Monday

and
Friday
. It is not necessary to store the drug in the refrigerator; it does not spoil.

It is also most stable to use Sustanon-250 in the amount of 1 ampoule weekly, and it is better to do this once a week. Wednesday for administration.

and for 5 weeks, this drug is administered strictly on Wednesdays. It is also exclusively intramuscular and it is better to place it in the gluteal muscle. Even this amount will be enough to get the desired result. It does not spoil at room temperature.

As for Turinabol, in the first week you use the drug in the amount of 2 tablets per day, and over the next 4 weeks the daily dosage of the steroid will be 3 tablets per day. It is best to divide the intake into equal doses per day, a split scheme. You don’t need to drink everything at once, but spread it out over the whole day. The drug is taken strictly every day, regardless of training.

On PCT it is better to use Clomid, it will come in handy here. The drug perfectly restores hormonal levels after using anabolic steroids. Taken 2 weeks after the course, 1 tablet. for 20 days. It is recommended to connect Tribulus, this improves the recovery phase of testosterone production.

This course promotes overall growth in muscle volume and quality. The increase in muscle mass will occur even during rest. In addition, in addition to weight growth, there will be a simultaneous increase in the level of endurance and strength capabilities of the body.

On average, in this course you can get the following results:

— increasing the strength and physical performance of athletes when performing exercises by approximately 27%;

- increase in total muscle volume by 5-9 kg;

— significant acceleration of the body’s ability to quickly recover;

- general strengthening of ligaments and tendons;

- reduction in the amount of fat deposits and the percentage of fluid content;

- light aromatization effect.

Taking a course of turinabol + trenbolone enanthate + sustanon 250 will give a significant boost to your athletic performance, in addition to increasing muscle volume. Results will be visible almost immediately, as the appearance of your muscle mass will change in a positive direction. So, you will have drier, firmer, more voluminous and sculpted muscles. Separately, you will be pleased with significantly increased strength indicators and an increased level of endurance.

Oral turinabol

when used daily, it will suppress the aromatization effect and enhance the anabolic functions of other steroids. There will be virtually no side effects from these drugs, provided that the instructions for using these sports supplements are strictly followed.

A course consisting of such anabolic steroids is ideal for athletes who want to get a truly significant increase in muscle mass with a simultaneous increase in strength indicators in a fairly short period of time. Each of the three steroids is of high quality and level of effectiveness, so you can be sure of the positive results from its use.

The proposed course includes drugs:

1. Turinabol 100 tablets.

2. Trenbolone enanthate 10 ml.

3. Sustanon 5 ampoules.

4. Clomid 20 tab.

A working and effective course for gaining quality mass and strength. As you know, there is a huge variety of sports doping that is used by athletes to achieve different results.

By-effect

When taking it, you may experience one of the following symptoms:

• suppression of the production of your own testosterone while taking the drug and for some time after the end of the course;
• acne;
• hair loss;
• toxic effects on the liver, especially with increased doses;
• increased blood pressure;
• ischemia and hypercholesterolemia;
• decreased ovarian activity;
• frequent urination, bone pain, gynecomastia;
• indigestion.

Winstrol (stanozolol) course[edit | edit code]

A solo course of Winstrol is carried out by athletes to gain definition and vascularity, as well as increase strength. In other words, this course is suitable for people who have sufficient body weight with moderate fat content.

• The optimal dosage of Winstrol is 30-50 mg in tablets or injections every day. Athletes and boxers usually use lower doses - about 10 mg/day.
• The duration of the course is approximately 4-6 weeks. As the cycle length increases, the risk of side effects, primarily affecting the joints, increases.
• After completing the course, a PCT is required 2-3 days later.
• To get the maximum effect, take sports nutrition for relief.

It should be noted that many experienced athletes recommend using stanozolol only in combination with testosterone. This approach reduces the risk of side effects, in particular, it significantly reduces the likelihood of harmful effects on the joints: testosterone retains fluid in the body, preventing the joint capsule from dehydrating. In addition, testosterone can significantly increase the effectiveness of a Winstrol cycle.
