Testosterone is, next to nandrolone,

the most suppressive drug of natural testosterone. So its an absolute must, especially after long cycles, to include HCG and Nolvadex or Clomid after a cycle. Running HCG for the last two weeks of a cycle and two weeks after in doses of 3000-5000 IU every 5-6 days, and then starting Nolvadex 4-5 days after last shot of testosterone, beginning at 40-50 mg per day for two weeks and then 20-25 mg/day for another two weeks seems to be the best course of action to follow in this instance.

Myasthenia gravis

Androlic / Anadrol can give dramatic gains in strength and muscle mass in a very short time. Water retention is considerable and

since the muscle cell draws a lot of water, the entire muscle system of most athletes will look smooth. Androlic / Anadrol does not cause a qualitative muscle gain but rather a quantitative one. Androlic / Anadrol "lubricates" the joints since water is stored there as well. On the one hand this is a factor in the enormous increase of strength and, on the other hand, it allows athletes with joint problems a painless workout. A strict diet, together with the simultaneous intake of Nolvadex-D and Proviron , can significantly reduce water retention.

Danabolan is not a steroid suitable

for year-round treatment since it is quite toxic. The duration of intake should be limited to a maxi-mum of 8 weeks. It has been proven that Danabolan, above all, puts stress on the kidneys, rather than the liver. Athletes who have taken it in high dosages over several weeks often report an unusually dark colored urine. In extreme cases blood can be excreted through the urine, a clear sign of kidney damage. Those who use Danabolan should drink an additional gallon of fluid daily since it helps flush the kidneys. Since Danabolan does not cause water and salt retention the blood pressure rarely rises. Similar to Finaject, many athletes show an aggressive
attitude which is attributed to the distinct androgenic effect. It is interesting that acne and hair loss only occur rarely which might be due to the fact that the substance is not converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Some athletes report nausea, headaches, and loss of appetite when they inject more than one ampule (76 mg) per week. Since Danabolan considerably reduces the endogenic testosterone production, the use of testosterone-stimu-lating compounds at the end of intake is suggested. In older athletes there is an increased risk that Danabolan could induce growth of the male prostate gland. We recommend that male bodybuilders,

during and after a treatment with Danabolan, have their physician check their prostate to be sure it is still small in size.

The side effects of Provironum in men are low at a dosage of 24 tab-lets/day so that Provironum, taken for example in combination with a steroid cycle, can be used comparatively without risk over several weeks. Since Provironum is well-tolerated by the liver, liver dysfunc-tions do not occur in the given dosages. For athletes who are used to acting under the motto "more is better" the intake of Provironum could have a paradoxical effect. The most common side effect of Provironum is a distinct sexual

overstimulation and in some cases continuous penis erection. Since this condition can be painful and lead to possible damages, a lower dosage or discontinu-ing the compound are the only sensible solutions. Female athletes should use Provironum with caution since possible androgenic side ef-fects cannot be excluded. Women who want to give Provironum a try should not take more than one 25 mg tablet per day. Higher dosages and periods of intake of more than four weeks considerably increase the risk of virilization symptoms. Female athletes who have no dif-ficulties with Provironum obtain good results with 25 mg Provironum/ day and 20 mg Nolvadex/day

and, in combination with a diet, re-port an accelerated fat breakdown and continuously harder muscles.

Don't use a medium or long acting insulin in the middle or latter part of the day, as you may very well experience a hypoglycemic attack whilst you are asleep. If this happens, neither you nor anyone else will be aware of or able to respond to your urgent need for glucose, in order to prevent possible serious harm.

IGF also mimic's insulin in the human body. It makes muscles more sensitive to insulin's effects, so if you are a person that currently uses insulin you can lower your dosage by a decent margin to achieve

the same effects, and as mentioned IGF will keep the insulin from making you fat.

Trenbolone is similar to the highly popular steroid nandrolone, in that they are both 19-nor steroids, meaning that a testosterone molecule has been altered at the 19th position to give us a new compound. Unlike nandrolone however trenbolone is an excellent mass and hardening drug with the majority of gains being muscle fiber, with minimal water retention. It has an unbelievable anabolic (muscle building) score of 500. When you compare that to testosterone, which itself is a powerful mass builder, and has an anabolic score of 100 you can begin

to fathom the muscle building potential of trenbolone. What makes trenbolone so anabolic? Numerous factors come into play. Trenbolone greatly increases the level of the extremely anabolic hormone IGF-1 within muscle tissue. And, it´s worth noting that not only does it increase the levels of IGF-1 in muscle over two fold, it also causes muscle satellite cells (cells that repair damaged muscle) to be more sensitive to IGF-1 and other growth factors. The amount of DNA per muscle cell may also be significantly increased.

The dosages observed are normally 100mg every 4-5 days. Masteron is not hepatoxic so liver damage is quite unlikely.

High blood pressure and gynecomastia are not a problem since neither water nor salt retention occurs and the estrogen level remains low. The main problem are acne and a possible accelerated hair loss since dihydrotestosterone is highly affinitive to the skin's androgen receptors, in particular, to those on the scalp. Since Masteron. in most cases, is not administered in excessively high dosages and the intake, at the same time, is limited to a few weeks, the compatibility for the athlete is usually very good.

Really, as I´ve said numerous times, the one principal drawback to using blends of testosterone tends to be their

high cost as compared with single ester tests. If this product could be had cheaply, I wouldn´t hesitate to recommend it.

For those worried about androgenic side-effects (hair loss, prostate hypertrophy, deepening of voice), one can utilize the hair loss treatment finasteride. This blocks the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme and stops the conversion of testosterone to the more androgenic compound DHT. I'm not a big fan of this, because DHT reduces estrogenic bloat, increases free levels of testosterone and is a very potent androgen that is 3-4 times stronger than testosterone. Those worried about hair loss however, may want to opt for

arimidex as their anti-aromatase, since Proviron is a form of DHT after all.

Concurrent use of isoniazid, INH and diazepam can increase serum concentrations of diazepam due to alterations in the half-life and clearance of diazepam. Although patient response to diazepam has not been reported, patients should be observed for signs of altered diazepam effects if isoniazid therapy is initiated or discontinued.

Drinking alcohol can

temporarily impair the ability to get an erection. To get the maximum benefit from your medication, you are advised not to drink large amounts of alcohol before taking KAMAGRA.

Testosterone´s anabolic/androgenic ratio is 1:1 meaning it is exactly as anabolic as it is androgenic. Actually, testosterone is the steroid which all anabolic/androgenic ratio´s are based on. If a steroid is 2:1, then it is, compared with testosterone´s ratio, doubly as anabolic as it is androgenic. Hence, we see from testosterone´s ratio, it is both quite anabolic as well as androgenic.

The capsules, therefore, are effective

for only a few hours so that 6-7 capsules, that is 240-280 mg (minimum), must be taken daily to achieve good results comparable to those of injectable compounds. This, however, puts the athlete in a dosage range which begins to influence the hormone production and the compound now more readily converts into estrogen. Such a dose can also manifest itself in a higher retention of sodium and water. This is one factor which competing athletes must consider.

When elderly males are treated with anabolic steroids, they may have an increased risk of enlarged prostate or cancer of the prostate.

This can produce a clear loss of muscle

definition, as subcutaneous fluids begin to build. The storage of excess body fat may further reduce the visibility of muscle features, another common problem with aromatizing steroids. The excess estrogen level during/after your cycle also has the potential to lead up to gynecomastia. Adding an ancillary drug like NolvadexВ® and/or ProvironВ® is therefore advisable to those with a known sensitivity to this side effect. The antiaromatase ArimidexВ®, Femara, or Aromasin are a much better choices though. It is believed that the use of an anti-estrogen can slightly lower the anabolic effect of most androgen cycles
(estrogen and water weight are often thought to facilitate strength and muscle gain), so one might want to see if such drugs are actually necessary before committing to use. A little puffiness under the nipple is a sign that gynecomastia is developing. If this is left to further develop into pronounced swelling, soreness and the growth of small lumps under the nipples, some form of action should be taken immediately to treat it (obviously quitting the drug or adding ancillaries like Nolvadex).

Other Names and Formulations:

I have to admit, when I first went to research this compound, I had thought I was researching a useless

old Anti-Estrogen. I took a quick look at it´s chemical structure, and realized that it was actually an anabolic-steroid! Oddly, it´s D-ring (usually pictured as the upper-right hand ring in models) is a weird 6 memberes lactone ring, instead of the usual 5 ring one that testosterone has. SO& now I know it´s an anabolic steroid& but what kind? And what would it do? Primarily, it´s an Anabolic Steroid which has made it´s claim to fame by being used primarily for it´s antiestrogenic effects (much like proviron), and I think that it´s been wrongly assumed to be simply an antiestrogen by many athletes. This

is not the case, and as you´ll soon see, there´s really no reason why this stuff has been pushed out of use by bodybuilders and athletes for the last decade.

Sexual activity may put extra strain on your heart, especially if you have heart problems, if you have heart problems and experience any serious side effects while having sex, stop having sex and tell your doctor immediately. These side effects include severe dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or nausea. In the unlikely event that you have a painful or prolonged erection (lasting more than 4 hours), stop using this medicine and seek immediate medical attention or permanent

problems could occur.

Testosterone is a relatively cheap drug (the cheapest, actually, in terms of anabolics), and that´s why it´s not actually a bad choice for blended products. In terms of "bang for the buck", it´s a great choice, as it can do just about everything. It induces changes in both the shape as well as size as muscle fibers (1). It can change the appearance and the number of muscle fibers (1), also, which is definitely a good thing for the cosmetic athlete (read: bodybuilder). Testosterone has the profound ability to protect your muscle from catabolic (muscle wasting) glucocorticoid hormones

(2), although not as well as (for example) Tren or other such (more expensive) drugs. Glucocorticoid hormones send a message to muscle cells to release stored protein, while Testosterone sends a message to muscle cells to store more contractile protein (called actin and myosin). In this way, these two hormones are at war with each other to cause anabolic vs. catabolic effects. Usually they are at a stalemate (which is why you don´t gain weight constantly, nor lose it). When you add in some Testosterone (such as Andropen 275), you shift the scales in favor of anabolism, and away from catabolism. In addition to this, Testosterone has the

ability to increase erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) in your kidneys (3), and a higher Red Blood Cell (RBC) count is highly sought after by many athletes because it may improve endurance via better oxygenated blood. More RBCs can also improve recovery from strenuous physical activity, and seems to give the muscles a more "full" look when bodyfat levels are reasonably low. Agression levels often rise dramatically with the use of exogenous testosterone (9), and due to some of the short esters in Andropen 275, I´d expect this effect to become realized within the first day of injection.

Anadrol 50 © is considered by many to be the most powerful steroid available, with results of this compound being extremely dramatic. A steroid novice experimenting with oxymetholone is likely to gain 20 to 30 pounds of massive bulk, and it can often be accomplished in less than 6 weeks, with only one or two tablets per day. This steroid produces a lot of trouble with water retention, so let there be little doubt that much of this gain is simply bloat. But for the user this is often little consequence, feeling bigger and stronger on Anadrol 50 than any steroid they are likely to cross.

Although the smooth look that results from water retention is often not attractive, it can aid quite a bit to the level of size and strength gained. The muscle is fuller, will contract better and is provided a level of protection in the form of "lubrication" to the joints as some of this extra water is held into and around connective tissues. This will allow for more elasticity, and will hopefully decrease the chance for injury when lifting heavy. It should be noted however, that on the other hand the very rapid gain in mass might place too much stress on your connective tissues for this to compensate. The tearing of pectoral and biceps tissue

is commonly associated with heavy lifting while massing up on heavy androgens. There is such a thing as gaining too fast. Pronounced estrogen trouble also puts the user at risk for developing gynecomastia. Individuals sensitive to the effects of estrogen, or looking to retain a more quality look, will therefore often add Nolvadex to each cycle.

Women: 50-100 mg/week.

Sildenafil citrate potentiates the hypotensive effects of nitrates and its administration in patients who use nitric oxide donors or nitrates in any form is therefore contraindicated.

Finally, it´s worth noting that sometimes a

strategy known as "frontloading" is employed with testosterone propionate, this is where double or triple the intended dose for the cycle is injected for the first two weeks, then the user switches to a longer ester. The reasoning behind this is presumably to get the blood levels of the drug up quickly in the hopes of seeing results more quickly.

I personally wouldn't use more than the recommended pharmaceutical dosage, or 5 mg/day. More might not be safe and might at some point cause DHT levels to become abnormally low.

For females only:

Methandriol Dipropionate is a injectable, strongly anabolic steroid with some androgenic properties. By raising the level of nitrogen retention, it stimulates protein synthesis, resulting in greater muscle mass; and it increases strength. In addition, it may have anti-catabolic properties. Methandriol Dipropionate is strong enough to be used by alone. However, it is frequently combined with

other steriods to enhance the overall effects.

The problem with the variation in anabolic effects between humans and livestock is that livestock have an abundance of the type 3 beta receptors whereas humans have little if any of the type 3 beta receptors. These beta-3 receptors increases insulin secretion and sensitivity, causing more glucose and amino acids to be transported into skeletal muscle thus causing the anabolic effects that we, humans, just aren't seeing. As Dan Duchaine stated in his Muscle Media article on clenbuterol, "In those animal research studies showing an anabolic effect from clenbuterol, it's my guess the anabolism

happens specifically when the beta2 receptor stops working. At that point, the beta3 increases and causes the anabolic effect through insulin mechanisms." Since humans, again, have either very little or no beta-3 receptors, there is no chance of this anabolic effect. Just another of the studies where everyone assumed that what works in animals must work in humans. This is just simply not the case with clenbuterol.

Dianobol has a half-life time of only 3.2-4.5 hours. Meaning that you should take dianobol twice a day to enjoy a rich content in the blood stream.

Stanozolol has a pronounced anabolic effect, but the decreased androgenic effect means a reduced ability to stop muscle breakdown when compared to high androgen compounds on low calorie diets. Due to its short half life, higher dosages need to be used and this can become expensive. The oral version is very effective but scarce.

Viagra / Sildenafil Citrate

Part of the physiological process of erection involves the parasympathetic nervous system causing the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum of the penis. NO binds to the receptors of the enzyme guanylate cyclase which results in increased

levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), leading to smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilation) in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in increased inflow of blood and an erection.

Clenbuterol can cause sudden death at very high dosages.

Testoviron Enanthate: 250 mg/ml 1 cc/amp. Testoviron depot is a long acting injectable testosterone that is widely used amongst athletes. It is currently the most popular testosterone ester available to athletes. Unlike cypionate, enanthate is manufactured by various companies all over the world. Ampules of Testoviron depot from Schering are probably the most popular although many others exist.

Enanthate is a long acting testosterone similar to cypionate. Injections of Testoviron depot are taken once weekly, with a dosage of 200-600mg being most common for athletes. It has very strong anabolic effects as well as strong androgenic side effects. Gynocomastia and water retention are the most common side effects and should be watched for. Being an injectable testosterone, liver values are generally not elevated much by this product. It only needs to be administered once every 7 days as opposed to cypionate's weekly injections. This yields greater convenience and cost effectiveness. Effective dosages of Testoviron depot range from 1 to
3 ccs every 10 days.

Unlike most oral steroids, which are Class II steroids giving most of their anabolic effect by means other than the androgen receptor (AR), it seems that oxandrolone probably does have good binding to the AR, and is therefore a Class I steroid, while having little other effect. By itself it is considered to be a weak anabolic.

Overdose

Bodybuilders and powerlifters, in particutar, like Oxandrolone for three reasons. First, Oxandrolone causes a strong strength gain by stimulating the phosphocreatine synthesis in the muscle cell without depositing liquid (water) in the joints and the muscles. Powerlifters

and weightlifters who do not want to end up in a higher weight class take advantage of this since it allows them to get stronger without gaining body weight at the same time. The combination of Oxandrolone and 20-30 mg Holotestin daily has proven to be very effective since the muscles also look harder. Similarly good results can be achieved by a simultaneous intake of Oxandrolone and 120-140 mcg Clenbuterol per day. Although Oxandrolone itself does not cause a noticeable muscle growth it can clearly improve the muscle-developing effect of many steroids. Deca-Durabolin , Dianabol (D-bol) and the various testosterone compounds,

in particular, combine well with Oxandrolone to achieve a "mass buildup" because the strength gain caused by the intake of these highly tissue-developing and liquid-retaining substances results in an additional muscle mass. A stack of 200 mg Deca-Durabolin/week , 500 mg Testoviron Depot/week, and 25 mg Oxandrolone/day leads to a good gain in strength and mass in most athletes. Deca-Durabolin has a distinct anabolic effect and stimulates the synthesis of protein; Oxandrolone improves the strength by a higher phosphocreatine synthesis; and Testoviron Depot inereases the aggressiveness for the workout and accelerates regeneration.

Minor side effects with diazepam include:

by Bill Roberts - Nolvadex C&K is very comparable to Clomid, behaves in the same manner in all tissues, and is a mixed estrogen agonist/antagonist of the same type as Clomid. The two molecules are also very similar in structure.

The athlete can therefore use Masteron (Masteron 100) to about ten days before a drug test. The average dosage is 100 mg injected every other day. It is best to inject it every 2-3 days because it has a short duration of effect.

Structurally stanozolol is not capable of converting into estrogen. Likewise an antiestrogen is not necessary

when using stanozolol, gynecomastia not being a concern even among sensitive individuals. Since estrogen is also the culprit with water retention, instead of bulk produces a lean, quality look to the physique with no fear of excess subcutaneous fluid retention. This makes Winstrol a favorable steroid to use during cutting cycles, when water and fat retention are a major concern. This drug 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.

To some extent, nandrolone aromatizes to estrogen, and it does not appear that this can be entirely blocked by use of aromatase inhibitors ¨C indeed, aromatase may not be involved at all in this process (there is no evidence in humans that such occurs) with the enzyme CYP 2C11 being in my opinion the more likely candidate for this activity. In any case, Cytadren, an aromatase inhibitor, has not been found effective in avoiding aromatization of nandrolone.

Danabol / Dianabol (Methandienone) additional information

Another disadvantage is Restandol

(Andriol)'s high price. For those athletes who would like to try Restandol (Andriol) 8 capsules ( 320 mg daily) should be taken. The capsules should be taken three times daily (approximately every 8 hours) after meals so that the substance can be properly reabsorbed. However, even this high dosage does not guarantee satisfactory results.

Trenbolone promotes red blood cell production and increases the rate of glycogen replenishment, significantly improving recovery (13). Like almost all steroids, trenbolones effects are dose dependant with higher dosages having the greatest effects on body composition and strength. Mental changes are a

notorious side effect of trenbolone use (15), androgens increase chemicals in the brain that promote aggressive behavior (16), which can be beneficial for some athletes wanting to improve speed and power.

Keep Clomid in a tightly closed container and out of reach of children. Store Clomid at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom).

It is also important to remember that endogenous Testosterone production is likely to be suppressed after a cycle of Testosterone enanthate. When this occurs, one runs the risk of losing muscle mass once the steroid is discontinued. HCG and/or Clomid are in most

cases considered to be a necessity, used effectively to restore natural Testosterone production and avoid a post-cycle "crash".

55-65% of your total daily energy intake should be in the form of carbohydrates, 15-20% as protein and ~20% as fat. You should seek advice from a dietitian about your daily requirements but most heavy training athletes need to consume between 3,000 and 5,500 Calories per day (depending on the sport and level of training) and between 450 and 800 grams of carbohydrate each day. If you are a body builder who weighs 100 kg and your total energy requirements are calculated to be 4,000 calories/ day, you should

aim to eat approximately 570 grams of carbohydrate each day. If your total energy requirements are calculated to be 5,000 calories/ day, you should aim to eat approximately 720 grams of carbohydrate each day.

This drug is not toxic nor have any side effects been seen in athletes who used the drug\' as an anti-estrogen. This drug is the most popular anti- estrogen amongst steroid users.

Wrinkle removal

Being such a mild product, tiratricol reaches maximum effectiveness at a daily dosage of about 1 mg per 50 lbs of bodyweight. Tiratricol has a half-life of approximately six hours, so the daily dosage should be divided

evenly through the day to keep blood levels more uniform. Tiratricol administration will not induce a true replacement metabolic rate like other thyroid hormones and is by far the safest thyroid option. Users are able to increase their metabolic rate only equivalent to the upper range considered normal and acceptable through out administration. This is typically a very significant increase and considered highly effective by most users.

Clomid tablets, containing clomiphene citrate, is a non steroidal ovulatory stimulant.

Xenical contains the active ingredient orlistat, for oral administration. Each Xenical capsule contains

Ephedrine can also be used as a stimulant to increase workout Intensity and concentration while training. It Is also effective as an appetite suppressant for the pre-contest bodybullder and It can be used by bodybullders In an attempt to diminish the amount of fat reserves they hold. There are many supplements which boast that they can Increase fat utilization and Increase llpolysis. l.e. amino acid combinations, camitine, and lipotropics. None of those natural supplements work nearly as well as ephedrine. Ephedrine should not be used by any athlete who has had a history of heart palpitations, arrythmia, or any conductive

Irregularity of the heart. Any athlete who develops these symptoms while using ephedrine should discontinue the use and consult a physician. Further caution should be used when stacking ephedrine with caffeine and aspirin as this Is even more likely to cause an irregular or strong heartbeat. A number of athletes reported these symptoms and had to discontinue the use of this supplement. Among the other athletes who had used ephedrine the majority reported a very positive response citing an increased awareness level and greater ability to concentrate while training. I would recommend ephedrine for athletes who do not have any heart problems
at all and whose workout would benefit from an increased level of concentration and an increased "psych". It also can benefit pre-contest bodybuilders. Ephedrine compounds are available in various forms. Ephedrine sulfide (sulphur based) is slower acting and has a shorter duration. It Is the least effective form. Pseudoephedrine HCL and pseudoephedrine sulfide are man made versions and are a little more effective. Ephedrine HCL in a high percentage HCL base is preferred by most and has proven to be quite effective. An example is Dymetadrine 25. Athletes have preferred to take this product 60 minutes prior to their workout.

Searle Company introduced the substance oxandrolone to the U.S. market in 1964 under the name Anavar and it enjoyed great popularity for over two decades until, on July 1, 1989, the production of Anavar was phased out. Today Anavar is manufactured under its various generic names in only a few countries (see above). The compound with the generic name Oxandrolone SPA by S.p.A. Milano Company (Societ? Prodotti Antibiotica) from Italy is the only original anabolic steroid available in Europe which contains the substance oxandrolone. There are 30 tablets in one box with two push-through strips of 15 tablets each. Oxandrolone is a weak steroid with only a slight androgenic component. It has been shown that Oxandrolone, when taken in reasonable dosages, rarely has any side effects. This is appreciated since Oxandrolone was developed mostly for women and children. Oxandrolone is one of the few steroids which does not cause an early stunting of growth in children since it does not prematurely close the epiphysial growth plates. For this reason Oxandrolone is mostly used in children to stimulate growth and in women to prevent osteoporosis.

Oxandrolone causes very light virilization symptoms, if at all. This characteristic makes Oxandrolone a favored remedy for female athletes since, at a daily dose of 10-15 mg, masculinizing symptoms are observed only rarely.

Bodybuilders and powerlifters, in particular, like Oxandrolone for three reasons. First, Oxandrolone causes a strong strength gain by stimulating the phosphocreatine synthesis in the muscle cell without depositing liquid (water) in the joints and the muscles. Powerlifters and weightlifters who do not want to end up in a higher weight class take advantage of this since it allows them to get stronger without gaining body weight at the same time. The combination of Oxandrolone and 20 - 30 mg Holotestin daily has proven to be very effective since the muscles also look harder. Similarly good results can be achieved by a simultaneous intake of Oxandrolone and 120-140 mcg Clenbuterol per day. Although Oxandrolone itself does not cause a noticeable muscle growth it can clearly improve the muscle-developing effect of many ste-roids. Deca-Durabolin, Dianabol, and the various testosterone compounds, in particular, combine well with Oxandrolone to achieve a "mass buildup" because the strength gain caused by the intake of these highly tissue-developing and liquidretaining substances results in an additional muscle mass. A stack of 200 mg Deca-Durabolin/week, 500 mg Testosterone enanthate (e.g. Testoviron Depot 250)/week, and 25 mg Oxandrolone/day leads to a good gain in strength and mass in most athletes. Deca-Durabolin has a distinct anabolic effect and stimulates the synthesis of protein; Oxandrolone improves the strength by a higher phosphocreatine synthesis; and Testosterone enanthate increases the aggressiveness for the workout and accelerates regeneration.

The second reason why Oxandrolone is so popular is that this compound does not aromatize in any dosage. As already mentioned, a certain part of the testosterone present in the body is converted into estrogen. This aromatization process, depending on the predisposition, can vary distinctly from one athlete to another. Oxandrolone is one of the few steroids which cannot aromatize to estrogen. This characteristic has various advantages for the athlete. With Oxandrolone the muscle system does not get the typical watery appearance as with many steroids, thus making it very interesting during the preparation for a competition. In this phase it is especially important to keep the estrogen level as low as possible since estrogen programs the body to store water even if the diet is calorie-reduced. In combination with a diet, Oxandrolone helps to make the muscles har~ and ripped. Although Oxandrolone itself does not break downfat, it plays an indirect role in this process because the substance-often suppresses the athlete's appetite.

Oxandrolone can also cause some bloating which in several athletes results in nausea and vomiting when the tablets are taken with meals. The package insert of the Italian Oxandrolone notes its effect on the activity of the gas-trointestinal tract. Some athletes thus report continued diarrhea. Although these symptoms are not very pleasant they still help the athlete break down fat and become harder. Those who work out for a competition or are interested in gaining quality muscles should combine Oxandrolone with steroids such as Winstrol, Parabolan, Masteron, Primobolan, and Testosterone propionate. A stack of 50 mg Winstrol every two days, 50 mg Testosterone propionate every two days, and 25 mg Oxandrolone every day has proven effective. Another advantage of Oxandrolone's non-aromatization is that athletes who suffer from high blood pressure or develop gynecomastia of the thymus glands when taking stronger androgenic steroids will not have these side effects with this compound. The. Oxandrolone/Deca-Durabolin stack is a welcome alternative for this group of athletes or for athletes showing signs of poor health during mass buildup with testosterone, Dianabol, or Anadrol 50. Athletes over forty should predomi-nantly use Oxandrolone.

The third reason which speaks well for an intake of Oxandrolone is that even in a very high dosage this compound does not influence the body's own testosterone production. To make this clear: Oxandrolone does not suppress the body's own hormone production. The reason is that it does not have a negative feedback mechanism on the hypothalamohypophysial testicular axis, meaning that during the intake of Oxandrolone, unlike during the intake of most anabolic steroids, the testes signal the hypothalamus not to reduce or to stop the release of GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) and LHRH Luteinizing hormon releasing hormone).

This special feature of Oxandrolone can be explained by the fact that the substance is not converted into estrogen Oxandrolone (Anavar), when given to normal men in high doses does not reduce the seminal volume or count, nor can it be converted (aromatized) into estrogen. Oxandrolone combines very well with Andriol, since Andriol does not aromatize in a dosage of up to 240 mg daily and has only slight influence on the hormone production. The daily intake of 280 mg Andriol and 25 mg Oxandrolone results in a good gain in strength and, in steroid novices, also in muscle mass without excessive water retention and without a significant influence on testosterone production. As for the dos-age of Oxandrolone, 8-12 tablets in men and 5-6 tablets in women seem to bring the best results. The rule of thumb to take 0.125 mg/pound of body weight daily has proven successful in clinical tests. The tablets are normally taken two to three times daily after meals thus assuring an optimal absorption of the substance. Those who get the already discussed gastrointestinal pain when taking Oxandrolone are better off taking the tablets one to two hours after a meal or switching to another compound.

Since Oxandrolone is only slightly toxic and usually shows few side effects it is used by several athletes over a prolonged period of time. However Oxandrolone should not be taken for several consecutive months, since, as with almost all oral steroids it is 1 7-alpha alky-lated and thus liver toxic. Oxandrolone is an all-purpose remedy which, depending on the athlete's goal, is very versatile. Women who react sensitively to the intake of anabolic steroids achieve good results when combining Oxandrolone/Primobolan Tabs and/or Clenbuterol, without suffering from the usual virilization symp-toms. Women, however, should not take more than 6 tablets daily. Otherwise, androgenic-caused side effects such as acne, deep voice, clitorial hypertrophy or increased growth of body hair can occur.

Probably the largest disadvantages that come along with Oxandrolone are its high price and poor availability on the black market. Original Oxandrolone costs about $1 - 2 per tablet on the black market and is rarely available, if at all.
