Is the furosemide prescription or black market. Diuretics can really fuck with you⊠BADLY if taken for bodybuilding purposes (in the absence of extreme oedema). Electrolyte imbalances can cause fatal arrythmias and dehydration resulting from diuretic use can cause Renal Failure (esp if using it while cutting).
This is youâre first blast, youâre already using 500mgs/wk and you want to add either trenbolone, oxandrolone or stanozolol. Iâll break down each compound for you, explain why I donât think theyâre great ideas however itâs youâre choice, in the end it all relates to whether you care about longevity or whether youâre âhere for a good time, not a long timeâ.
Trenbolone is a derivitave of nandrolone (19-nortestosterone), on paper and in action it is exceedingly strong, being 5x stronger than testosterone mg/mg in both anabolic and androgenic potency. With this strength comes more risk, more side effects and⊠more gains (but is death in fifteen years from now worth gains? Thereâs a case report or two of heart failure developing after as little as 1 year of tren usage). Side effects of trenbolone are numerous, and include
- Cystic acne
- Hair loss
- Lactation (prolactin related)
- Agression/moodiness (part from androgenicity, part from dopamine depletion, decreased serotonin from 19-nors)
- Tren cough/ cardio intolerance (why does this occur? I have no idea, however tren appears to cause respiratory distress)
- high blood pressure
- destroyed lipid profiles
- Kidney damage
- anorgasmia (prolactin)
- erectile dysfunction (prolactin)
- insomnia
- gyno (mechanism I donât understand properly, prolactin and progestin receptors do exist in breast tissue though, and tren increases prolactin significantly + has progestogen if activity)
- liver toxicity (tren displays some degree of hepatic resistance to metabolism)
While these side effects arenât all guaranteed, itâs likely youâll experience some of them. Seriously if you arenât a competitive bodybuilder I wouldnât recommend touching tren, but do whatever you feel is best to live the best life possible. Tren doesnât aromatize btw, nor can it be 5a reduced into a dihydro metabolite.
Stanozolol (winstrol) is a C-17AA derivitave of dihydrotestosterone. It is notoriously harsh on the lipids, 6mg/day almost cuts HDL (good cholesterol) in half (decreases HDL-2 subfraction by up to 80% on that dose), and raises LDL by quite a bit. Much of this detrimental effect on HDL (I think) is due to increased hepatic lipase activity (catabolises HDL) as all C-17AA AAS tend to have a marked detrimental effect on the lipids but stanozolol seems to take the cake. Stanozolol tends to cause joint pain for unknown reasons, possible PR receptor antagonist, Progesterone has anti-inflammatory properties, stanozolol also appears to make tendons more prone to tearing when lifting heavy. The C-17 methyl group in stanozolol makes it liver toxic, case reports of liver failure have been noted in people using stanozolol, even at therapeutic doses (although itâs very unlikely). As an anabolic agent stanozololâs actions are fairly independent of the AR, it has an amazing ability to increase nitrogen retention more so than most other AAS (which is a good thing up to a point⊠Donât want kidney damage), however aside from the temporary cosmetic benefit the risks are quite high.
Oxandrolone is another C-17AA derivitave of dihydrotestosterone, Iâve actually used this one before. Studies show ox is faked around 66% of the time in UGL preparations, so either get it tested or be very confident of the UGL youâre using. Iâm fairly sure my oxandrolone was mixed with something else given the stimulant type feeling, very high blood pressure and extreme increase in HR it gave me at merely 25mg/day. Despite what many say, oxandrolone isnât âmildâ itâs anabolic activity is very strong, however you wonât gain any water weight on it, all weight gained will be pure muscle. Uniquely, despite being C-17AA oxandrolone isnât as hepatotoxic as other C17-AA compounds as a large majority (also unique) is metabolised via the kidneys (probably makes it nephrotoxic tho). Oxandrolone isnât safe however, it tends to be free of visible side effects, but it will DESTROY youâre lipid profile (actually it depends on the individual, but some guys get HDL in the single digits on 40mg+/day. Blood pressure may also become an issue.
Finally I assume youâre aware of the cardiac complications that can occur as a result of AAS use. Given youâre labs on 250mg/wk, youâre not blasting and cruising (no offence), but youâre blasting and blasting. Adding in even more is fairly likely to cause complications, esp if you use recreational drugs on top of the anabolic steroids and eat badly. If youâre okay with all this then go ahead, feel free to email me if you want any advice though (email in profile description). You can cut fine with just test, if you absolutely had to add something why not a non C-17AA DHT derivitave at a low dose. If you want a more detailed description of the above compounds just ask and I can give details about pharmokinetics, metabolites and whatnot
