steroids and sprinting

I’m a new sprinter, and I would really like to know what steroids are the most adequate to use as a “training tool”. Why do I say this. It’s known that they increase recovery speed and allow for greater training intensity, so which one is the best for me. Keeping in mind that There may be occasions when I will be tested for steroids, maybe not this year, but maybe next year.

Cheers

Look at the professionals man. Many accomplished sprinters have tested positive for stanazolol (winstrol). That wouldn’t be a bad place to start. Testosterone is the king of all anabolics, so I’d go with a short estered testosterone like testosterone propionate. Trenbolone acetate (finaplix) would be another great one, however my sport requires a lot of sprinting and I have problems with cramping while on fina.

If, for some reason, you are scare of injections, I’d go with oral winny, oxandralone (anavar), fluoxymesterone (halotestin), and/or the legal steroid ‘methyl-1-testosterone.’

Remember, sprinting requires you to drink a ton of water and anabolics require a lot more to negate any cramping and to flush your liver. So, drink at least 1 1/2-2 gallons of water per day.

Good luck with everything and post your cycle when you’re ready to roll and we’ll critique it!

Do a search for Charlie Francis’ web site, he has a forum on that site where I am sure there are individuals more knolegeable about the best use of AAS in your sport.

Unfortunately Charlie Francis forums will not put up discussions about using AAS to enhance performance. Understandbly so given charlies background!

If you’re subject to drug testing (if you can call what the USATF does testing) don’t inject anything other than testosterone, detection times are just too long. Low dose testosterone (under 500mg/week) oral cycles are what you should go with. Getting solid info on detection times for orals is not as easy as you may think. Be leary of anything you see on board about detection times. Almost everyone refers to the same list that’s floating around the net and there are some definite inacuracies if you are subject to an IOC stardard test. Hope this helps.

buy Speed Trap by Charlie Francis, it might not be exactly what you need but it’s 10 bucks and worth the read.

firstpull is so right about that shitty detection time list going around… It’s a joke.
Under 500mg/week of t. prop should yield nice training assistance for a sprinter. 50mg every third day may actually be enough for some.

I think RSOC’s bolasterone and oral turinabol are not detectable BTW.

scrappy is right that some can do well with 50mg every third day. Don’t get confussed by the bodybuilding info when planning a cycle for something like sprinting. You don’t want to get really big as a sprinter. You would be surprised how small some of these sprinters are. Take Ben Johnson (who everyone thinks of as huge) he was like 170lbs in Soul and is no taller than 5 foot 9 if you stand beside him. Dwain Chambers, Bruni Surin, Mo Green, all under 200lbs. All you need as a sprinter is something to make the hard training easier. You would be surprised how strong and powerful you can get on a low dose. You won’t get too big but you can definitely get strong if you’re training right. Hope this helps

An oral Winny cycle would be probably good start … and Speed Trap is definietly reccomeneded - not for cycle info alone necessarily.

The new Methly-D MAY be a good option too - but I’d wait for more feedback.

What do you guys think about M1T as a ‘legal’ supp option for sport ?

oral test with oral winstrol is a nice cycle for sports. Solid gains with little water weight if test is kept low. Also since winstrol doesn’t have a half life it tends to clear out quickly for drug testing. Most feel you should be able to pass a drug test in about 4 weeks. A Russian sprinter (Anastasia) was recently caught using winstrol. Don’t know if that was an out of competition test or not. It would seem hard to believe she was caught in competition. At her level you would think that she wouldn’t screw up clearence times.

I wrote oral test. I meant test prop. oops.

Thanks for setting me up with some info guys, and just to let you all know I do have both SpeedTrap and CFTS, and have read them both. In Speed Trao Charlie talks alot more about steroids, and gives a very light idea of the amounts and the AAS that Ben and the gang were using back then, however, I believe that It’s safe to assume that detection methods have been improved since '88 which was by the way a royal screwing of Ben, considering he was busted for stanozolol which is something that he never used in his protocols.

I’m gonna be a little more explicit with my question now, can you guys help me set up a protocol, considering things like… days on days off, how much of what to take, what the possible clearance times could be, also if you need my numbers I’m 25 years old, and my weight oscilates between 65-68 kilo’s (so the AAS would also help me pack on a bit more functional muscle and speed up recovery, due to uni pressures as well) … almost forgot, I’m not in the states and my body fat is at 7% (tested with impedanciometry - a tanita machine).

Cheers,

Hope to hear from you

Well then 2 questions …

  1. Are you going to use Ph’s or AAS?
  2. Are you going to going to swallow take it in the ass or both?

what are Ph’s (I’m gonna assume prohormones) and taking it in the butt cheeks aint a problem. I’m used to needles. (I’m studying dentistry, but our needles are alot thinner caliber).

Anyway, I’m open to all options, and I’m hoping to keep the side effects, to a minimum or near zero. Other than that, I’m cool with it.

Anyone??

I used anavar in college as a sprinter. I used it for one month during the last month of sprinting. Strength definately increased big time and nothing was detected. Even a week before nationals which is when I stopped it was still not detected.

I’d definately go with something small. I used anavar at 30mg a day of oral tabs for 4 weeks. Took clomid for post cycle at the usual dose. I go with nolva though next time, clomid made me feel like a fucken pusssy.

I heard that all the top 400m guys tested + in budapest but they looked the other way cause it was almost everyone, and all the top guys. I’m just saying that I’ve heard this before and it seems like sometimes guys take things real close, like var, and dont’ get caught but maybe they found it and looked the other way. Test prop, 50mg, every 3rd or 4th day should be the test.
And var at low doses up to like a week or two before the test might slide by too.

One of the key points to remeber with using roids in an athletic sport such as sprinting - is how does the rest of the body adapt to the increase in muscle strength and mass?

Increased flexibility, rehab and recovery work would be kept high on my agenda while on and on PCT

Ok, so lets say that the idea is to use a short cycle, a 3 weeks on 1 weeks off, followed by 2 on and 2 off. With the idea that I would take the minimum to make an effect, which would be the best/safest combination???

An ok cycle for you could be for instance 300mg per week of test proprionate by itself or with a short acting oral. I like 20-30mg of halo but many feel that this drug is too toxic on the liver. Makes me strong though and really helps my work capacity. the nice thing about this dose for this length of time it that you can probably come off of it with tribex and have no discernable shut down of you HPTA. It’s good if you can get away with just tribex since then you don’t have to worry about clearence times for clomid or nolvadex. That way you can take your cycle closer to competition. The halo could be substituted for anavar, oral winstrol, or furazabol.
