Among the most effective and most commonly used anabolic drugs is Stanozolol tablets. Reviews from men confirm its effectiveness, and research by specialists in the field of anti-doping control has put an end to the impossibility of its use by professional athletes. However, for people who care about their own results and do not strive for Olympic gold, the drug is very helpful. But it also has certain side effects and has its contraindications.

History of creation

The steroid Stanozolol is available in injection and tablet form. Reviews about it show that the drug is very popular these days, and has also played a huge role in the sporting achievements of experienced athletes. Patients became familiar with the drug back in 1962, when the famous pharmaceutical company released the first batch of the drug for sale. But the commercial name of the drug became the name “Winstrol”.

Initially, the product was intended exclusively for the treatment of horses. The drug came into sports pharmacology after the administration of steroids was approved by the administration responsible for the quality of medicines and food products. But at first, only a doctor could prescribe the drug and strictly according to the prescription. The main area of ​​application was strengthening the bone frame and curing anemia. The drug has also proven itself well as a restorative medicine after surgery.

Much later, Stanozolol tablets began to be used as a steroid for athletes. Reviews from men about its fat-burning effect led to the popularity of the medicine. Studies have confirmed that, despite the fact that the drug is a progesterone antagonist, it does not block the action of nandrolones.

Reviews about Winstrol (Stanozolol)

Most athletes have a pretty good fat burning effect. Athletes who take the steroid both in tablet form and as injections note that it is excellent for the drying period. The drug is used by many bodybuilders, as well as some track and field athletes. It increases endurance and strength without increasing muscle growth. Reviews note that Winstrol is great for those taking their first AAC course. The steroid combines well with most androgens and anabolics.

Pharmacology of the drug

Stanozolol is available in tablet form and can also be purchased in injection format. The latter compares favorably with other similar steroids by the presence of a water base. The active substance of the drug is biologically available, as proven by numerous tests. The tablets, passing through the stomach and liver, practically do not lose their properties. But the drug is toxic to internal organs, which is due to the presence of an alkyl group in the composition.

However, this side effect is compensated by the absence of other negative consequences. Therefore, taking Stanozolol tablets is popular among women who want to achieve certain results in weightlifting. To significantly reduce the negative impact on the body, it is important to accurately follow the dosage. In this case, virilization and masculinization in representatives of the fairer sex will not manifest itself so clearly.

Application, combination and other important information

For many years, Winstrol courses have been successfully used in various sports. Initially, representatives of “light” sports disciplines turned their attention to this unique medicine. Stanozolol is the most common AS among runners, swimmers, fighters and chess players. This is evidenced by the history of doping testing. Over the past two decades, it was this anabolic steroid that was detected more often than other steroids in doping tests. A huge number of athletes were caught using Winstrol courses and were disqualified. Due to a positive doping test for stanozolol, many athletes were deprived of titles, regalia and records, after which further sports careers were impossible. However, the risk that athletes taking stanozolol took was justified by the amazing results and unimaginable effectiveness of this steroid. Stanaza made the athlete stronger, faster and more resilient in a very short time without noticeable weight gain. Following the track and field athletes and chess players, representatives of purely male sports became interested in Winstrol... Gradually, the Winstrol course began to penetrate bodybuilding, winning new fans among jocks.

The main advantage of Winstrol tablets is the ability to build high-quality muscles without unnecessary water retention. Stanaza, together with a low-carbohydrate diet and a properly selected training program, can make muscle mass firmer, tougher, and more prominent. The combined use of Winstrol with other non-aromatizing steroids (trenbolone, for example) turns the shapeless bodies of bodybuilders who have fattened up in the off-season into the likeness of Apollo. A competent combination of stanozolol with other AAS helps athletes achieve the deepest relief and ideal muscle separation. Like other steroids, Winstrol is not only a shaper and body builder, but a good assistant in strength progress and endurance work.

All of the above performance characteristics of stanozolol make it indispensable in the pre-competition preparation of bodybuilders. This anabolic steroid allows you to “hold” meat during so-called “carbohydrate pits” and supports the body during exhausting workouts. The usual practice is the following scheme of preparation for entering the podium: two or three weeks before the competition, the diet is tightened to the maximum and about steroids, in the bodybuilder’s pharmacological arsenal there are only drugs that do not retain water at all, i.e. winstrol in tablets and, for example, oxandrolone.

As for the use of stanozolol in other strength sports disciplines, here this “soft” steroid is less common. In powerlifting and weightlifting, Winstrol tablets are rarely used and only in combination with testosterone. It is usually injected by athletes seeking to increase their strength indicators and at the same time not step into another weight category.

Well, now I’ll move from theory to practice... let’s talk about the applied aspect of our knowledge in the field of sports pharmacology. The standard working dosage for the injection form of stanase is 50 - 100 mg per day/every other day; if in the case of steroid oils, injections can not be done very often, then in the case of a suspension another rule applies - the more often the better. Usually, for beginner users, Khimki recommends taking Winstrol in tablets of 50 mg every other day, as a rule, this is enough for quite reasonable progress. For professionals, the normal dosage is 100 mg – 200 mg per day. As for the tablet version of stanozolol, I would advise sticking to a dosage of 30 mg - 50 mg per day.

Local stanozolol injections are very popular among bodybuilders because... This technique leads to a visual increase in the muscle group into which injections are made (especially the deltoids), and the achieved volume increases are maintained for a long time. Often, athletes inject testosterone Winstrol into the triceps and biceps, wanting to slightly improve the shape of these muscle groups. I really don’t recommend doing Vince injections into your calves; this is fraught with unbearable pain and the inability to fully move in space on two legs. In general, as in the case of testosterone suspension, I recommend changing injection sites more often to reduce the risk of an abscess and increase the body’s ability to absorb the active substance in muscle tissue. I must also say that under no circumstances should you mix Winstrol with any other oil-based steroid in the same syringe before injection... I will say more, it will be better if you distribute testosterone injections of Winstrol and oil into different muscle groups, i.e. e. You can, for example, inject the suspension into the ass, and the oil preparation into the hips and shoulders, this will save you from many problems. Before use, the contents of the ampoule must be thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous milky mass is obtained, but there is no need to shake the bottle, because this leads to the formation of foam and bubbles. You just need to carefully roll out the ampoule, placing it between your palms. You should not put more than one milliliter of testosterone winstrol at one point; it is more advisable to do more injections than to put 2-3 ml of the substance at a time in the same place. And we must not forget that Vince injections are more painful and unpleasant than injections of any other oil. When using a stanozolol suspension, bumps may appear at the injection site, I described in detail how to deal with this phenomenon in the article on testosterone suspension.

Now I will say a few words about stanase and the level of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). I don’t understand the hype that has developed around the oral version of Winstrol. It all started with an article by Y. Bombela, which was published several years ago in one of the BB magazines. The point in this graphomaniac opus was that additional intake of stanozolol during steroid courses reduces the level of SHBG in the user’s body by 50%, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the course. The author referred to studies conducted in the late 80s of the last century in Germany, which revealed this interesting feature of stanozolol. After this article, together with the magazine, appeared on store shelves, and was also duplicated on several special sites, the level of sales of this multifunctional anabolic increased, bringing good profits to dealers, and at the same time, on all sports forums on the network, there was a tendency towards that this hitherto considered useless oral steroid has become one of the most popular and discussed. If you look into this issue and dig deeper, you can stumble upon one very important detail - any steroids lower SHBG levels. Here are quotes from an article on sex hormone binding globulin (taken from a medical reference book): “The level of SHBG synthesis in the liver depends on sex hormones: estrogens increase, and androgens reduce its production,” “The introduction of androgens into the body from the outside is often combined with a decreased level SHBG”, etc. and so on. That is, taking any AAS will be accompanied by a decrease in SHBG in the subject’s body. Additional consumption of stanozolol during a course of steroids seems to me to be an absolutely irrational step, because the body is already stuffed with androgens/anabolic steroids and the SHBG level should already be normal, and adding stanase tablets to the main ammunition will not change or lower anything. By the way, few people know, but the same studies cited by PR people for stanozolol also affected several other drugs, namely turinabol, proviron and testosterone enanthate. The results of administering these medications were approximately the same as in the case of the tablet version of Winstrol - the level of SHBG decreased.

We talked about SHBG, now we need to mention the relationship between stanozolol and progesterone levels. The fact is that very often I heard from authoritative people that taking stanozolol together with progestins helps lower progesterone levels during the cycle and make taking such steroids safer. It's hard to say if this is true. But this same point of view is shared by many professionals... others. Luber included. Therefore, I have every reason to reduce this opinion to a “pharmacological axiom” in my article and recommend adding 30-40 mg of stanase per day to your chemical arsenal during courses using progestins... for prevention.

Winstrol, in my opinion, is not a drug for beginner chemists. If in the case of some other AAS (Masteron or Primobolan, for example), beginner chemists and even curling enthusiasts can take it without fear for their health, then Winstrol, in my opinion, is the prerogative of professionals, because this steroid is always used to solve certain problems. Young animals may limit themselves to the use of other drugs.

At the end of the article I will dwell in more detail on specific examples of using testosterone winstrol and combining it with other medications.

1. Course for chess players: Stanase 30 mg - 40 mg per day for 6 - 8 weeks. This dosage regimen allows you to avoid injections and the use of water-pressure drugs; the result should be 3-4 kg of dry meat gained during the course, and injured joints (I will talk in more detail about the effect of stanase on joints in the “side effects” section).
2. An option for former curlers who have already fallen in love with iron, but have not mastered frequent injections: stanase 50 mg per day + propionate 50 mg - 100 mg every other day; The course is designed for 6 – 8 weeks. As a result, you can gain a few kg of quality mass and gain definition.
3. Dosage regimen for advanced chemists who enjoy daily injections: Winstrol 50 mg every other day + propionate 100 mg every other day; also for 6 – 8 weeks. After such a course, you are guaranteed an Apollo-like effect; propionate will help “lubricate” the joints and provide androgenic support to the body.
4. A course for followers of Andreas Münzer who are manically afraid of having a percentage of subcutaneous fat above 5%: trenbolone acetate 75 mg - 100 mg every other day + Winstrol 100 mg per day; Course duration: 6 weeks. After six weeks, you will be able to admire the thin skin and the deepest relief in the mirror, as well as philosophize and do something that you were not able to do before due to lack of time, because... Over the next month, nothing will distract you - women will not be interesting to you.

There are many more different options for courses that can be written, the basis for which will be Winstrol, but doing this within the framework of an article limited in scope is pointless. Oh yes... I completely forgot to say that stanozolol in combination with propionate is ideal for the so-called “exits” from “long” courses, i.e. After discontinuation of long-term drugs, we can wisely use those 2 - 3 weeks, during which the residual active substance in the user’s blood will still work, continuing to have a minimal anabolic effect and suppress the endogenous test.

Possibilities of the steroid

Stanozolol tablets demonstrate a powerful steroid profile. The instructions state that:

• testosterone produces 30% androgenic effects and up to 32% anabolic effects;
• the liver has a moderate toxic effect;
• the effect of the active component lasts up to eight hours;
• contains no flavorings;
• Traces of use may be detected in doping control after a year.

In connection with the last point, the use of this drug by athletes who participate in official competitions is completely excluded. The latest methods for studying traces of doping can detect the drug in the blood, even if a year has passed since its use.

Combined course with Stanozolol

Combining Winstrol with steroids such as Testosterone, which has a stronger androgenic effect, Anadrol, Methandrostenolone, can increase efficiency and reduce the possibility of a negative reaction.

Winstrol Depot (injections) is a stabilizer that reduces adverse reactions and increases the anabolic effect. Combined courses with Winstrol, regardless of the form (tablets or ampoules), should be such that the weekly volume of AAC taken does not exceed 500 mg. This applies to non-professionals.

Application in veterinary medicine

It is widely known that the drug is often used in veterinary medicine. There are multiple positive reviews from experts about Stanozolol tablets. With its help, doctors restore the strength and appetite of sick animals.

Immediately after its invention, the drug began to be used at the hippodrome to improve the endurance and speed performance of horses that took part in races. It was this fact that attracted the attention of athletes, who gradually began to use the drug to build muscle mass, increase strength and burn fat.

How to prevent

In order to reduce the side effects of Stanozolol, athletes combine it with drugs that have a higher androgenic effect. These include: “Methandrostenolone”, “Nandrolone decanoate”, “Anapolon - 250”, “Testosterone” and the like.

By combining the steroid with the above drugs, the athlete protects his joints and receives a good increase in muscle mass and strength indicators. The quality of the muscles is determined by the minimum fluid retention in the body, which the drug will remove.

Possibility of use in big sports

The drug has a long history in world sports. At first it was used by track and field athletes, which can be easily seen from the reports of doping commissions from the 70s and 80s. Unofficial reviews that appeared at that time also testify to its popularity.

The product was often used by swimmers, runners, wrestlers and even chess players to enhance endurance and other physical indicators. Currently, the drug is very popular in bodybuilding, where there is no need to undergo doping control.

In elite sports, Stanozolol is a prohibited drug. Coaches and their players take a conscious risk if they decide to accept him. The fact of use, proven by tests, leads to the disqualification of the athlete and the cancellation of awards.

Advantages of the drug

Stanozolol tablets have many advantages. Reviews from men who are seriously passionate about bodybuilding confirm its steroid properties. Among the main advantages, athletes highlight:

• The ability to emphasize the relief of pumped up muscles. An anabolic steroid does not help build muscle mass, but only gives them a beautiful appearance, which is important when participating in demonstration performances.
• Ability to remove excess fluid. Anabolic steroids often lead to increased hydration of cells, so this property is useful.
• The ability to dramatically increase strength and endurance.
• The peculiarity of reducing high globulin, which contributes to the emergence of connections between sex hormones. As a result, you can achieve a more lasting effect from the use of androgenic steroids.
• Increased appetite.

An amazing effect can be achieved if you take Stanozolol in tablets. Reviews from men confirm that the combination of proper nutrition, a well-designed training program and this drug leads to the appearance of hard muscles, a sculpted body and endurance. Strength characteristics of athletes increase. The medication is able to support the body during exhausting exercise and preparation for competitions.

pharmachologic effect

When the substance penetrates the cell nuclei, patients experience activation of the genetic apparatus. The drug stimulates oxidative phosphorylation, ATP synthesis, and accumulation of macroergs. Under the influence of Stanozolol, there is an increase in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, and activation of nucleotide enzymes. Catabolic processes under the influence of a chemical substance are slowed down, and anabolic processes are enhanced.

When using the drug, the body retains calcium, potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. As a result of this process, long bones become denser, which helps slow down the development of osteoporosis. The increase in density is achieved due to calcium deposits. Increased tissue respiration helps increase muscle endurance. Stanozolol interacts with the glucocorticoid binding protein Gm-STBP, which helps reduce cortisol production.

The medicine increases the production of erythropoietin, which leads to an increase in the number of red blood cells. The half-life of the anabolic steroid is 24 hours. Metabolism of the drug occurs in the liver. The medicine leaves the body through the kidneys. The substance is completely eliminated after 2-3 days. Modern laboratories can determine with high accuracy whether an athlete has taken this anabolic steroid or not. The drug discovery period is 360 days.

Taking medication

The course of Stanozolol in tablets involves several methods. It is taken both as a main remedy and in combination with other drugs. Choosing a suitable course is the prerogative of the coach and his student. It all depends on the final goal and the results that you want to achieve.

The medicine is not so harmless and has a mandatory condition for taking it - a gradual increase in dosage. Unless otherwise indicated by a doctor's prescription, you should start with one pill per day. The dosage is increased to the required volume within a week.

Not all experts agree on how to take Stanozolol tablets. Sometimes it is recommended to dissolve them, but more often instructions are given to take the pills with a glass of water. The medicine should be taken for no more than six weeks. This approach will avoid harmful effects on the functioning of the liver and other internal organs.

Dosage and schedule

Before starting the course, you must undergo a complete and thorough medical examination. Particular attention should be paid to biochemical blood tests (levels of liver enzymes, bilirubin, lipid spectrum and kidney function indicators), ultrasound of the abdominal organs, and ECG.

To correctly select the dosage and duration of the course, you must study the instructions for use in detail.

Stanozolol should be started with 30 mg (for oral forms). As a rule, one tablet contains about 30 mg, therefore, the drug must be taken 3 times a day.

If the choice fell on injection forms, then you need to take Winstrol once a day, starting with 50 mg.

The duration of the course varies from 5 to 8 weeks. An important point is to carry out PCT (post-cycle therapy - a set of drugs taken to restore the body after a course of anabolic steroids). It begins 3-4 days after the end of the course of stanozolol.

"Stanozolol" + "Propionate"

Quite often, this medication is prescribed in combination with others. Stanozolol tablets help improve physical performance and achievements. How to take the drug in bodybuilding worries many participants in exhibition competitions. The course “Stanozolol” + “Propionate” helps to noticeably build muscles and demonstrate them at a performance. The complex also significantly increases the physical strength and endurance of the athlete.

While taking these medications, fat deposits are actively burned and fluid is removed. As a result, the athlete experiences muscle growth that becomes rigid and prominent. However, such a result can only be achieved with intensive and well-structured training.

Sometimes it is not professional athletes who want to take such a course, but ordinary people. Usually their goal is to improve their figure - burning fat and gaining a sculpted muscle frame. Experts advise in this case to engage in moderate physical activity and take a course in the spring or summer.

About the pros and cons of fasting while taking pills

This fasting system certainly has advantages. With its help, training on an empty stomach allows you to activate lipid burning processes. Fat mass disappears much faster. At the same time, the athlete does not lose his ability to work, he is also active.

The downside of this system is the nervous tension that will accompany the athlete during drying. It is impossible to get used to the feeling of hunger, so increased irritability occurs. There is an increased load on the nervous system. Also, a significant disadvantage of fasting while taking the drug is a decrease in sexual desire.

Please note: Stanozolol is a prohibited drug for bodybuilders. Residues of the drug will remain in the blood for 360 days, so taking pills is unacceptable if you plan to take part in competitions.

"Stanozolol solo" - reviews

This course is one of the popular programs for using the drug. Reviews about it are quite positive, because the result is noticeable immediately and lasts for a long time. However, in order for the effect to be maintained, it is important to follow all recommendations for use.

Several program options have been developed by specialists. To achieve results, you can adhere to one of them, an example of which we will consider below.

The first stage, which lasts eight weeks, involves dividing the daily dose of tablets into four doses. This approach is explained by the peculiarity of the disintegration of the active substance, the duration of which is five hours. During this time, muscle mass accumulates, fat is actively burned and fluid is removed.

The second stage (eighth week) is marked by the addition of Clenbuterol, which will prevent muscle collapse, which often occurs during active pumping. The product has a short half-life and is not hormonal, so it does not have a negative effect on the body. But it is also important to divide the daily intake into several doses.

At the third stage (ninth week), it is necessary to restore the level of endogenous testosterone. To do this, you need to select the appropriate drug.

“Stanozolol solo” reviews have collected exclusively recommendations, both for professional athletes and for those who want to bring their body back to normal. The main condition is to take the pills gradually and be active in sports.

What is the difference between a solo course and combined dosage regimens?

A course of stanozolol is sometimes supplemented with other components. Refusal of solos in favor of more complex combinations can be for various reasons. Here are the main features:

• stanozolol and primobolone are relevant in fitness and in the course of cutting to achieve noticeable results in a short time;
• to enhance the effect of the steroid, it is supplemented with testosterone propionate;
• Stanozolol and methane in powerlifting and “light” sports are relevant for speeding up the process of gaining muscle mass.

"Stanozolol" for women

Some experienced athletes believe that Stanozolol tablets are a fairly light remedy. Reviews for women, however, are not so clear. Experts emphasize that the duration of use and the individual characteristics of the body of the fairer sex are important.

There have been officially recorded cases in which a woman develops virilization syndrome while taking the drug. It is characterized by the manifestation of typical male features: the appearance of characteristic hair growth, a change in the timbre of the voice, and the development of a coarse physique. That is why it is recommended to take the medication in reasonable doses to avoid unwanted consequences. Studies have proven that if the fairer sex takes no more than one tablet per day, then virilization can be avoided.

Stanozolol course in ampoules

These injections are prescribed to form sculpted muscles and remove excess fluid while drying the body. The effect is especially noticeable in athletes who have a low amount of fat and sufficient body weight.

If the drug in tablet form is taken 30 ml per day, then in injection format - 50 ml per day. However, for some athletes, 20 ml per day will be enough:

• boxers;
• track and field athletes and all those who are focused on endurance, not the appearance of muscles.

The standard course lasts from five to eight weeks.

Experts recommend starting to inject Stanozolol only after a full examination and consultation with a sports doctor. After completing the course, it is important to undergo rehabilitation therapy in order to normalize the body’s main indicators.

Side effects

The drug "Stanazol" has a variety of reviews. Side effects are also indicated among them, but the product based on it is considered one of the safest steroids. It has zero estrogenic activity, so swelling and gynecomastia are not observed after taking it.

However, it is highly undesirable to take the drug in unlimited doses. One of the negative phenomena is drying of the ligaments. As a result, training loads increase, and the likelihood of injuries and ruptures increases many times over. To significantly eliminate such manifestations, doctors usually prescribe appropriate supplements.

Among the side effects that occur while taking it are:

• increased blood pressure;
• increase in cholesterol levels;
• suppression of endogenous testosterone;
• acne;
• hair loss.

The drug has a toxic effect on the liver. To reduce the likelihood of side effects, it is necessary to take hepatoprotectors.

However, as reviews show, negative manifestations appear quite rarely. They are mainly associated with uncontrolled pill taking. If you follow all recommendations and dosage, they can be avoided.

Precautionary measures

Burning fat with stanozolol and giving the body definition is becoming increasingly popular today. However, it is worth remembering that there are side effects of Winstrol. As a rule, they can occur with an overdose of the drug. In this case, athletes may experience allergic reactions, which manifest themselves in the form of difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and tongue. Swelling may also occur in the extremities. A common consequence of an overdose is rashes and pimples.

Other undesirable effects:

• joint pain;
• blood pressure disorders;
• increased cholesterol levels;
• decreased sexual desire;
• insomnia, sleep disorders;
• frequent causeless erection;
• hair loss;
• disorders of the genitourinary system;
• headache.
