This is completely wrong. To imply that, winstrol is possibly “safer” than the other AAS, is very incorrect. It is analogous to the idea, that a PH cycle is some how safer than an illegal steroid. They both decrease endogenous testosterone production, have negative effects on lipid profiles, effect the liver, prostate growth, and winstrol also appears to induce some extra myocardial thickening. Please do not spread this type of “bro” idiocy on T-Nation.

So there is no difference to the user in terms of the issues you listed whether i do anadrol 50/Test suspension cycles or Primo and Anavar cycles?

Gregus, did you realize that this thread was long dead until it was bumped with a random question about an avatar (one that was changed since the thread was originally live, iirc)?

egnatiosj made his point because many, if not most, newbs have the false belief that prohormones or certain oral steroids, are inherently safer than injectables. He certainly did not say that all AAS are completely equal in terms of side effects.

His statements are absolutely incorrect and he does not know what he’s talking about. Sorry.

By all means, explain, with scientific backup.

Woop Woop…I did straight up 50mg win a day for a few weeks no real pct no nothing and I was beast. Put on like 5 lbs each week real hella strng too. i felt sick for a day or two then felt great .

No. Those are basics you have to know to even be here. But FYI why don’t you study Anavar and then Anadrol 50. Study the differences, side effects, toxicity etc etc…It’ll all become self explanatory very quickly.

Oh wow, you must be really really smart huh? Why dont you explain to me why oxandrolone does not exhibit similar toxicity to oxymetholone? How about you show me a study, where oxandrolone is used at the doses taken BBers (50-100mg/day). What do you consider to be more toxic, the significant change in HDL/LDL associated with oxandrolone, or the possibility of breast tissue in oxymetholone? Here is the thing, you little twat, you read some fucking steroid book, by some jackass wanna be professional and take it as gold. FIND STUDIES ON THESE DRUGS, AT THE DOSES AT WHICH WE USE THEM and compare them then. Do you know what the therapeutic index is for oxandrolone? Here is a hint its about a tenth of the minimum of which BBers take. I have seen five scripts for oxandrolone all of them were 2.5mg bid. What do you think the dose was for the studies of oxandrolone? Have you ever used oxandrolone? Have you ever used oxymetholone? Did you have blood tests before and after both of them? I have, oxandrolone was FAR worse than oxymetholone in regards to blood lipid levels. They were almost equivalent in regards to transaminases. Now remember the key here, my tiny brained friend, is studies that use common doses to bodybuilders.
Now just for fun, lets give you some case studies on oxandrolone:
-two cases of oxandrolone-induced nodular hyperplasia have been reported

  • Abnormalities in liver function, including increases in sulfobromophthalein retention and concentrations of aspartate/alanine aminotransferases, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase, have been reported during oxandrolone therapy, particularly after high dosages (>10mg) and/or administration for prolonged periods; histologic findings of cholestasis have been observed (Prod Info Oxandrin(R), 1998d; Reynolds, 1992; AMA Department of Drugs, 1991; Kelley & Ruvalcaba, 1982; Raiti et al, 1973; Sansoy et al, 1971; Danowski et al, 1965; Fox et al, 1962a).
    -Focal nodular hyperplasia, was reported following oxandrolone administration (5 mg daily for 6 months) for the treatment of stunted growth in an 11-year-old boy. The patient recovered following surgery (Alberti-Flor et al, 1984). Bleeding esophageal varices attributed to regenerative nodular hyperplasia has been observed in a 30-year-old bodybuilder who ingested 7.5 mg oxandrolone plus other anabolic steroids over a period of 18 months
    -irreversible deterioration of renal function associated with malignant hypertension has been reported in a hypertensive patient with advanced renal insufficiency treated with oxandrolone (20 mg daily) (Goldman & Zarday, 1973). This patient developed marked sodium and water retention during oxandrolone administration. It was speculated that the reduced renal function was secondary to worsened hypertension as opposed to a direct effect of oxandrolone.
    -An increase in GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE has been reported in girls with Turner’s syndrome treated with oxandrolone (0.125 mg/kg/day for up to 12 months)

Now for your other “safe” drug winstrol.

-A 28 year-old bodybuilder taking STANAZOLOL 280 mg for 2 years presented with ventricular tachycardia. The patient had no cardiac risk factors; studies showed severe stenotic lesions and signs of MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. Upon discharge he was being treated with amiodarone and antianginal therapy (Mewis et al, 1996).

-Oral stanozolol (6 milligrams daily) was reported to produce more undesirable lipoprotein effects than parenteral testosterone (200 milligrams intramuscularaly once weekly) in male weight lifters in a 6-week, crossover study. Stanozolol reduced HDL-cholesterol and the HDL-2 subfraction by 33% and 71%, respectively; however, the HDL-cholesterol concentration was decreased by only 9% with testosterone, with the decrease being in the HDL-3 subfraction. Apolipoprotein A-1 levels were reduced by 8% and 40% with testosterone and stanozolol, respectively. LDL-cholesterol concentrations decreased 16% with testosterone, but increased by 29% with stanozolol. An increase in the postheparin hepatic triglyceride lipase activity of 123% was observed with stanozolol, however, increases with testosterone (25%) were not significant. These data suggest that intramuscular testosterone is preferable to oral stanazolol for indications requiring prolonged androgen or anabolic steroid therapy (Thompson et al, 1989).

  1. A 26-year-old body builder developed toxic hepatitis with hepatocellular necrosis after self-administration of stanozolol 40 milligrams/day (mg/d) and intramuscular testosterone enanthate 500 mg twice weekly. On admission to the hospital, the patient’s AST and ALT levels were 5870 and 10,580 international units/liter, respectively. The patient’s bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase were also elevated. Liver biopsy showed toxic hepatic lesions. After supportive care and within 12 weeks of discontinuation of androgenic/anabolic steroids, clinical signs and laboratory findings improved substantially (Stimace et al, 2002).
  2. CHOLESTATIC JAUNDICE that is followed by HEPATIC NECROSIS (rare) and death has been reported with stanozolol therapy (Prod Info Winstrol(R), 97a; Evely et al, 1987).
  3. HEPATOCELLULAR NEOPLASMS and peliosis HEPATITIS, a condition where liver tissue is replaced with blood-filled cysts, have occurred with long-term administration of stanozolol. Such hepatic pathologies are especially concerning with chronic therapy as they may go undetected until abdominal hemorrhage occurs (Prod Info Winstrol(R), 97a). Additional morphologic liver changes in hereditary angioedema patients who were treated with stanozolol have been described (Cicardi et al, 1983).
  4. Hepatocellular carcinoma has been associated with the chronic administration of high doses of anabolic steroids (Prod Info Winstrol(R), 97a).

Wow you are correct, look at how safe winstrol and oxandrolone are! Now lets disregard the fact that winstrol, in suspension, is exponentially more likely to be un-sterile, or that oxandrolone is probably the most faked drug out there right now. Let’s pretend that either of them have equivalent effects as oxymetholone (they don’t). They are also more expensive than say testosterone, dbol, hell pretty much anything. Now, I didn’t even addres BPH, but we will save that for another day.

Now here is the really giggly part, in actuality, none of these compounds are dangerous assuming you are not Anencephalic. So other than yourself, I would say that all of the compounds can be used safely, with testosterone, dbol, oxymetholone, trenbolone all being much more effective and equally dangerous as oxandrolone, primo, etc.

Oh by the way, GTFO.

True. This board is full a holes. They have their roid rage. I stay away from this board and check up on it infrequently just to see if there is any good info. Usually there Isn’t, just more of what you mentioned.

But there are exceptions so my apologies to the good contributors.

But too many dudes have the attitude that because they are “above” someone with less size, they look down on any notion about “them” using. Who do they think they are those smaller guys thinking about juicing, lol. So questions are not addressed or answered.

you get sarcasm, put downs, name calling etc etc etc… [/quote]

Dude, you really are making it blatantly clear that you do not spend any time in this forum at all.

Do you have any idea at all of the background or level or knowledge of the person you are challenging here??? You’re way, way, way out of your league, man.

Back to the original topic, while I have the winstrol tabs and will be starting it in May regardless, I would also like to run Test with it. Is test prop the best option to run with winstrol.
Once again stats are 6’3", 194, 11% bf. I should have also probably added that I am a college pitcher and my ideal weight would be 210, 215 max.

Be careful with Winny then. Winny Orally is a different animal then the injectable. It’s used more the reduce the SHBG and have more “free” testosterone during a cycle with test. So it’s not actually primarily used as a growth agent.

Also the collagen and tendon tissue abnormalities can cause you to have problematic shoulders. But realistically that would take higher dosages and for longer times. But either way your shoulders are gold to your sport so i would do cycles which encompass joint health. [/quote]

Please explain to me the importance of reducing SHBG? What is the average concentration of SHBG? Say you took away all of SHBG how much “extra” free testosterone would you have?

Show me one study that shows positive collagen enhancement by any AAS?

You are a joke.

hello,
I was actually going to do a winny only cycle. It is my first of any kind. Ive been convinced by a trainer buddy of mine who has seen good gains; primarily with strength. My strength seems to be making good constant gains. I just hit a few milestones (405 dl, 205 c&j). Size wise, though, it’s a nightmare.

I have to be at a HUGE surplus to put on mass. Then I seem to shoot past my desired bf level. And my abs are like rounded out and my obliques are pretty big from grappling so I have a gut-thing that I just want to chop off.

I am 5’10’ 185 - If I crank up the eating again Ill be at 195 in a little while. That seemed to be a comfortable weight for my body when I was eating. I would like to be 195 and diced. What do you guys think? I want to look my best for summer. Should I try T? Would the Winny do it? I understand that I’m at the point where military discipline would probably get me there in a year but my schedule is just out of control and I want results in 4 months.

thanks,
cp

I have had a fair bit of experience with winstrol running it oral and injectable for different durations.

Thinking to run winstrol tabs 50mg ED for 6 weeks and gain 5-8 pounds of lean muscle…i mean, you can probably do this natural if diet and training is 100%. Why bother with AAS?

Oral winny, as far as strength is concerned for me does almost nothing, but endurance is great!

Injectable winny does a very little for me for strength at…65md ED, and a little at 90mg…thats almost double 50mg…Endurance is great tho I must admit.

I am positive I will get more strength from 10mg/day dbol than 50mg/day oral winstrol.

I run winstrol for 5 weeks or more (these days 3 weeks) and I start to get joint pains inside of my elbows as well, no other aas does this to me and the cystic acne from injecting winstrol is 5x worse than I got when i was on 1.5g test enth…thats ridiculous!

I also get edgy, generally feel irritable and annoyed.

If i drink the inject (oral) @ 50 mg/day…I feel almost nothing. I need about 85 mg/day to still get less results than injecting 65mg/day.

I am thinking I may not run winstrol again and its not worth the annoyances (winstrol ed inject pain) or cost.

I MUCH prefer masteron.

I think for your modest goals if you really cant inject you could go as low as 15mg dbol/day split two doses (morning/night) while perfecting your diet will get you those pounds if run for like 7 weeks and be less stress to your liver/kidneys than more than 3x the amount of winstrol.

Trust me at 50mg winstrol i bet you will feel where your liver and kidneys are…I do and im careful too.

Just noticed this was an old thread bumped. sorry

Old Thread.

I think you just answered your own question. If you aren’t willing to have “military disipline” to achieve your goals, then you have no buisiness considering AAS at all. Just don’t do it. In fact, you should either get serious or stop training altogether.

I don’t know how to say this without sounding like a dick, but saying that you just “want results in 4 months” is childish. It sounds like you want results without doing the work. If thats the case, please stop training now.

Well said Brook, this post is the one which is actually going to give the OP the most help.

OP, if you already have your winstrol tablets I would try and get some Primo and do at least 400mg primo per week plus 30-50mg per day winny for 8-10 weeks followed by a simple clomid pct.
Many new users aren’t comfortable using moderate to high doses of AAS for their first cycles, if this is the case the primo combined with your winstrol will give you a nice safe first cycle, perhaps try and get some one to do you shots for you if your not comfortable with doing them yourself. Brook probably didn’t mention Primo as its quite expensive and harder to find, personally I love the stuff and the results it gives me.
Good luck…

Guys, I understand that in your opinion he shouldn’t be taking steroids, but he clearly did his research. I am also going to be getting on a winstrol only cycle because that is all I have access too and I also want that hard, defined look. My diet is similar to heat49’s. Although I am only 5"11/188/10%bf, I think this cycle will give me the gains I am looking for. All we are asking for is a little help.[/quote]

Fair point… winstrol is likely to do very little… it is often recommended at dosages of 50mg EOD or ED. I find no results from anything under 50mg ED and would actually choose to run it at 75-100mg/day for 6 weeks if ran alone. Liver function tests before and during.

Make sure your bodyfat IS 8% or 10% because if it is over 10% you are unlikely to see fuck all.

The issue the posters here - including myself - with people coming in saying “i dont wanna be some massive juicehead” is two-fold:

  1. Most of us do want that and may find that comment offensive, but also;
  2. Why use AAS (in one of the least productive ways - an oral non-aromatasing anabolic with weak to little noticeable results in all but track and 3-6%bf BB’s) to achieve what could be achieved with 1 year of strict diet and dilligent natural training.

There is another point more to the OP than this reply - but that thinking because the final goal is not to be a massive “juicehead” that 1 cycle of a weak anabolic (in reality, not on paper) is needed, is incorrect by quite some distance.
To actually become a big meathead from a slim or skinny frame takes a long time for some, and many years and many cycles.

I myself am 5’8" but naturally was very skinny… at 18 i was about 126lbs… after 4 years of training naturally but at home i gained 14lbs lean making me 140lbs.
At 29 i am 205 and 15%, still not massive but big enough so that if i cut now, i would look like a lean fitness model i’d expect or at approx 5% be around 180lbs… Not a juice head by any means - except i certainly am.

Good luck with the cycle but your goals would be better realised with a 8 week cycle of masteron or test prop and mast for 6-8 weeks.

Fuck you for posting this twice.

LOL! ^^^ But I know this guy… Kidding!

If O.P is any smart he should be happy he made every major contributor come out of the wood work. OP enjoy the free spill of advice it doesn’t come by much better then this IMO.

LOL I (the O.P.) came back here and can’t believe this thread was bumped. I ended up running the Winstrol-only cycle last April for 5 weeks. Gains were nothing huge as you guys predicted. 6-7 pounds gained, lost a couple of percentage points in bodyfat (while amping up cardio and sticking to a very clean diet.)
My system didn’t “shut down,” even with no PCT. All levels were within normal range after the cycle was completed. Kept all gains. Pretty much what I had been looking for.
Anyone looking to do a Winstrol-only cycle, I would think you could pretty much expect results similar to mine.

So youre saying you have blood work showing that your testosterone levels are the same after the cycle as they were before the cycle started?
