Winstrol
is the popular brand name of the chemical compound stanozolol.
Winstrol’s
popularity is made obvious by a number of positive doping cases. Most
publicized cases of Winstrol use include mixed martial artists Phil
Baroni and Tim Sylvia; heptathlete Lyudmila Blonska; and Canadian
sprinter Ben Johnson.
MLB’s
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have been alleged of using this steroid.
There are, of course, the countless pro bodybuilders who tested
positive for this compound, among them Shawn Ray and Nimrod King.
Why is Winstrol a popular drug choice among
bodybuilders?
Winstrol is a versatile drug, and it’s for several reasons. For one,
Winstrol is available in two forms – oral and injectable. This offers
convenience to you as a steroid user. If you have low pain threshold,
you can always depend on the oral
Winstrol
to provide great bodybuilding rewards.
Winstrol in any form displays greater anabolic activity more than
androgenic effects. This is the reason why
Winstrol is one of
the few anabolic agents that is recommended for women and novices. This
drug has a large oral bioavailability because it is c-17
alpha-alkylated. Take note that both injectable and oral Winstrol have
this alteration, thus caution is advised against using this steroid in
prolonged cycles. Similarly, you must not practice overdosing with
Winstrol.
But which is the better Winstrol?
Many bodybuilders who have used both preparations would vote for the
injectable
Winstrol Depot
for two reasons. First, is for financial consideration – you’ll save
money when you use the injectable since it’s cheaper. Second, Wisntrol
Depot is reportedly less stressful to the liver.
Winstrol Depot,
unlike most steroids designed for intramuscular injection, is not
esterified. Esters are usually attached to injectable steroids to make
them more lipophilic, which literally translates to as “oil-loving”.
Without an ester, Winstrol easily dissolves in water, a characteristic
that is both an asset and a drawback. As water soluble,
Winstrol delivers
immediate anabolism, but the downside is it requires frequent
injection, which is at least every second day, to maintain an ideal
blood level.
Winstrol is a precursor of dihydrotestosterone, which prevents it from
aromatizing into female hormones called estrogens. Thus, when you use
Winstrol water
retention is rarely experienced. From this characteristic, you’ll have
an idea that Winstrol is more ideal for cutting phase as it is very
capable of delivering harder and well-defined physique. However,
because of its low androgenic component, it should be taken with a
compound with satisfactory androgenic activity, such as
Parabolan. This
stack assures that you will be able to hold on to muscle mass you’ve
accumulated during bulking.
Anavar
(oxandrolone),
Equipoise
(
boldenone),
or
testosterone
are likewise recommended to be stacked with Winstrol during cutting or
contest preparation.
The recommended dosage of Winstrol for men is 25mg-50mg per day; some
go for 100mg per day for more pronounced gains. For women, around
5mg-10mg per day is enough to deliver adequate muscle strength and mass
gains. If females are opting for the injectable version, they can
divide a 50mg-ampule into a minimum of two dosages.
