Stanozolol, by Zambon.

Winstrol Depot is a water-based, injectable version of stanozolol. This drug is typically used during the cutting cycle only. Many women use this particular steroid because it has fewer side effects than other compounds. Most users don't find a huge impact on weight gain by using this steroid. By using the injectable form, it lessens the impact on the user's liver which is a strong side effect.

Winstrol - Stanozolol is a very commonly used anabolic steroid for cutting cycles. It´s certainly not a very effective compound for treating anemia and it is rightly assumed that its role in bulking cycles is very limited. One novel use for Winstrol in any cycle, perhaps even bulking would be to use it at a very limited dose, in order to lower SHBG. One of the properties of Winstrol is it´s profound ability to lower SHBG much more than other steroids.

Adding it to a heavy bulking cycle could be problematic, as Stanozolol is a 17aa compound, meaning that it´s been altered to endure the first pass through your liver without being destroyed. This makes it an orally active compound. Unfortunately, since it is 17aa, it is also liver toxic and in fact Stanozolol has one of the worst hepatoxicity (mg for mg) of any steroid.

Generally users report a "dry" and less lubricated feeling in their joints when on this drug (fluid retention is none with Stanozolol), and also a "dry" overall look as regards contest prep. This could be due to a sort of "reverse-osmotic" effect. There are many conflicting reports on tendon strength and Stanozolol.

This compound is unique, as it is available in both an oral form as well as an injectable form. Both forms contain the exact same compound, but injecting this compound is superior to ingesting it orally in terms of nitrogen retention, and thus one would also imagine, for overall anabolism. Injecting it also has the advantage of avoiding the "first pass" through your liver, and thus places your liver under less stress.

Stanozolol is also one of the few compounds that women can take safely, as it´s anabolic. Androgenic ratio is quite skewed towards anabolism. It´s generally accepted that women can tolerate around 5-10mgs a day of this compound. Men, on the other hand can dose themselves in the 0.5-1.5mg/kg range. I find 100mgs injected every other day to be sufficient, but of course, even with the injectable form, every day dosing is optimal. A Winstrol/Trenbolone/Testosterone cycle will be beneficial for most bodybuilders seeking to get ripped.

Many of the effects of this drug, as relates to building muscle, are probably from its very high protein synthesizing ability. In addition, since this compound is derived from DHT, it tends to promote a very nice, "quality" look to the user´s muscles, with little or no water retention. Winstrol does not aromatize at any rate and has even been speculated to have anti-progestenic properties.
