Winstrol Depot (stanozolol)
info
Winstrol is
a popular brand name for the anabolic steroid stanozolol.
This compound is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, although
its activity is much milder than this androgen in nature.
It is technically classified as an anabolic steroid, shown
to exhibit a slightly greater tendency for muscle growth
than androgenic activity in early studies. While dihydrotestosterone
really only provides androgenic side effects when administered,
stanozolol instead provides quality muscle growth. Admittedly
the anabolic properties of this substance are still mild
in comparison to many stronger compounds, but it is still
a reliable builder. Its efficacy as an anabolic could even
be comparable to Dianabol, however Winstrol does not carry
with it the same tendency for water retention. Stanozolol
also contains the same c17 methylation we see with Dianabol,
an alteration used so that oral administration is possible.
To spite this design however, there are many injectable
versions of this steroid produced.
Structurally
stanozolol is not capable of converting into estrogen. Likewise
an anti-estrogen is not necessary when using this steroid,
gynecomastia not being a concern even among sensitive individuals.
Since estrogen is also the culprit with water retention,
instead of bulk Winstrol produces a lean, quality look to
the physique with no fear of excess subcutaneous fluid retention.
This makes it a favorable steroid to use during cutting
cycles, when water and fat retention are a major concern.
It is also very popular among athletes in combination strength/speed
sports such as Track and Field. In such disciplines one
usually does not want to carry around excess water weight,
and may therefore find the raw muscle-growth brought about
by Winstrol quite favorable over the lower quality mass
gains of more estrogenic agents.
Have been noticed
when trying to administer these products, even when using
a large 22-gauge needle. But there are both advantages and
disadvantages to each type of product. On the one hand the
large particle size would form a longer acting deposit (depot)
while the steroid dissolves, giving us the option of fewer
injections. A larger shot every three to four days would
likely be sufficient to keep blood levels within limits,
which is a favorable schedule for a water-based product.
On the other hand we are forced to use a standard size oil
needle (21-22 gauge) for the injection, uncomfortable for
regular administration. Products made with a finer substance
do not allow for as slow acting a depot and therefore are
usually injected every other day to keep blood levels steady.
But shots can be given with a much more comfortable sized
needle, opening up many new injection sites. Although you
can jam a big "oil pipe" into your shoulder, it
is really not the place for it.
For men the
usual dosage of Winstrol is 35-75mg per day for the tablets
and 25-50mg per day with the injectable (differences based
solely on price and quantity). It is often combined with
other steroids depending on the desired result. For bulking
purposes, a stronger androgen like testosterone, Dianabol
or Anadrol 50 is usually added. Here Winstrol will balance
out the cycle a bit, giving us good anabolic effect with
lower overall estrogenic activity than if taking such steroids
alone. The result should be a considerable gain in new muscle
mass, with a more comfortable level of water and fat retention.
For contest and dieting phases we could alternately combine
Winstrol with a non-aromatizing androgen such as trenbolone
or Halotestin. Such combinations should help bring about
the strongly defined, hard look of muscularity so sought
after among bodybuilders. Older, more sensitive individuals
can otherwise addition compounds like Primobolan, Deca-Durabolin
or Equipoise when wishing to stack this steroid. Here we
should see good results and fewer side effects than is to
be expected with standard androgen therapies.
Women will take
somewhere in the range of 5-l0mg daily, or two and a half
to five 2mg tablets. Although female athletes usually find
stanozolol very tolerable, the injectable is usually off
limits. They risk androgenic buildup, as a regular 50mg
injection will provide much too high a dosage. Here the
tablets are the general preference. It is obviously much
easier to divide up pills than it is to break up a 1cc ampule
into multiple injections. Those who absolutely must experiment
with the injectable would be most comfortable dividing each
50mg ampule into at least two separate injections. At this
point the dosage will adjusted by the number of days separating
each shot. 25mg every third or fourth day should be a comfortable
amount for most. More ambitious (and risk taking) females
would take 25mg every second day, although this is not recommended.
Although this compound is only moderately androgenic, the
risk of virilization symptoms should remain a concern.
With the structural
(c17-AA) alteration, the tablets will also place a higher
level of stress on the liver than the injectable (which
avoids the "first pass"). During longer or higher
dosed cycles, liver values should therefore be watched closely
through regular blood work. Although less common, the possibility
of liver damage cannot be excluded with the injectable however.
While it does not enter the body through the liver, it is
still broken down by it, providing a lower (but more continuous)
level of stress. Such stress would of course be amplified
when adding other c17-AA oral compounds to a cycle of Winstrol.
When using such combinations, cautious users would make
every effort to limit the length of the cycle (preferably
6 to 8 weeks). It is also of note that both versions of
Winstrol have been linked to strong adverse changes in HDL/LDL
cholesterol levels. This side effect is common with anabolic
steroid therapy, and obviously can become a health concern
as the dose/duration of intake increase above normal. The
oral version should have a greater impact on cholesterol
values than the injectable due to the method of administration,
and may therefore be the worse choice of the two for those
concerned and this side effect.
The oral use
of stanozolol can also have a profound impact on levels
of SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin). This admittedly
is characteristic of all anabolic/androgenic steroids, however
its potency and form of administration make Winstrol particularly
noteworthy in this regard. Since plasma binding proteins
such as SHBG act to temporarily constrain steroid hormones
from exerting activity, this effect would provide a greater
percentage of free (unbound) steroid hormone in the body.
This may amount to an effective mechanism in which stanozolol
could increase the potency of a concurrently used steroid.
To further this purpose we could also addition Proviron
(1 methyl-dihydrotestosterone), which has an extremely high
affinity for SHBG. This affinity may cause Proviron to displace
other weaker substrates for SHBG (such as testosterone),
another mechanism in which the free hormone level may be
increased. Adding Winstrol and Proviron to your next testosterone
cycle may therefore prove very useful,, markedly enhancing
the free state of this potent muscle building androgen. |
