Description
Winstrol is the most popular and well-known brand name of the androgen and anabolic steroid Stanozolol. It is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which makes Winstrol similar to testosterone
Importantly, Winstrol is considered to have a more powerful anabolic to androgenic effect compared with testosterone. In the body, up to 10% of testosterone is naturally converted to DHT.
Winstrol has resulted in an increase in collagen synthesis. While the recovery period is an important part after working out, similarly, speedy healing form injuries and repairing of tissues are essential which can be effectively done due to collagen synthesis.
Unlike other anabolic compounds in the market, Winstrol dries out the users properly. To clear up the statement, this drying is the term often referred as the lean results that users experience from dosing with Winny. Winstrol is mostly used by bodybuilders as it makes muscles more fibrous and harder in appearance. With its regular usage waists will go trimmer with a well sculpted deltoid. The use of this anabolic steroid also masked well the appearance of any softness and water retention in the muscle gaining process.
SHBG, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin are reduced drastically when Winstrol starts doing its work. These effects are more evident while using Winstrol in comparison of the results of other anabolic steroids available in the market. It helps increasing the free testosterone levels in the body from even the first day of the cycle.
It is one of the important uses of Winstrol, as it is also considered as a fat loss supplement that is effective for most of the individuals who have minimal body fat. It works well for the people who follow strict workout routine. Due to its fat burning properties, there should be no surprise because it works so well in defining the physique of bodybuilders. Winstrol also works towards accelerating the metabolism while making sure that the muscles are preserved in the process.
Whenever a bodybuilder starts doing cutting cycle, their main emphasis is towards increasing cardio and burning fat at maximum by reducing calories as well. Doing this all-fat loss regime, it is very important to protect the muscles, as due to calorie deficit the body ends up using fat and muscle as fuel. However, that is obviously not welcoming for any bodybuilder. Because of this reason, Stanozolol is highly regarded and considered as an effective steroid. With the use of Winny, the users not only enjoy stripping down the fat from the body while leaving and preserving the defined muscles.
Another use of Winstrol is to enhance the performance and endurance. Winstrol was initially designed to fight anemia, as the chemical stanozolol is perfect for boosting the count of red blood cells in the body. This process is not only helpful in general for people but is also helpful for bodybuilders. The oxygen and nutrients are carried all around the body through the blood stream. The more circulation of cells with the nutrients, the more energy is flowing in the body and the harder you can push your muscles and body to work. Winstrol helps the weightlifters to increase their capacity of lifting weights and exercise for longer periods of time with less muscle fatigue and quicker recovery.
Winstrol (Stanozolol) is available in both oral and injectable forms. As to be expected, each of these Winstrol applications come with different half-lives:
- Oral half-life: 9 hours
- Injection half-life: 24 hours
There is no difference between the strengths of oral and injectable versions. 0. 5mg of either type is the same amount – what does differ is how quickly they are absorbed and used up by the body which is reflected in their half-lives listed above.
Despite its negative effect on the liver, oral it is often the first choice particularly for those steroid users who are new to cycle Winstrol in order to avoid the painful injections.
Tablets are mostly available in 10mg and 50mg strengths so is easily administered for any level of user including if you’re just starting out on a low dose or are female, to steroid users wanting the maximum dosage of which might reach up to two tablets per day for a total of 100mg.
Dosage Instructions
50mg-100mg / day.
A typical cycle for Winstrol runs for between 6 and 8 weeks. As with all oral steroids, the toxic effects on the liver make it unsuitable and potentially dangerous to take for longer than 8 weeks.
It’s not just the liver you have to worry about with a longer Winstrol cycle: the other reason not to exceed an 8-week cycle is because of Winstrol’s effect on cholesterol.
Sticking to a 6-week cycle strikes a balance between experiencing the benefits of this steroid while reducing the risk of serious adverse health effects. When you’re undertaking a longer stacked steroid cycle, taking Winstrol for the first six weeks then stopping it while continuing with other steroids is a popular option for advanced users.
WINSTROL ONLY CYCLE
A cycle of Winstrol only is not a popular choice, not only due to the above-mentioned joint issues that some people experience, but also because of the suppression of testosterone that will bring about a range of side effects not the least of which is likely to be low energy – something no athlete wants to experience.
Adding at least a testosterone steroid to the cycle will counter these negative effects. Women on the other hand can benefit from a Winstrol only cycle much more so than males.
Regardless of experience level, the maximum length of a Winstrol cycle is recommended to be no longer than 8 weeks because of the impacts on your cholesterol and liver. A 6-to-8-week Winstrol cycle is considered typical.
BEGINNER WINSTROL CYCLE
A beginner to Winstrol will almost certainly opt for the oral form. This beginner oral Winstrol cycle runs for 6 weeks at a dosage of between 20mg daily up to 50mg daily – although as a beginner you will want to closely monitor side effects and preferably start off at that lower dosage until you know how Winstrol affects your body both positively and negatively.
Beginners should not exceed a 6-week cycle because of the effects on the liver. To build more muscle on a Winston cycle and to negate the suppression of testosterone, stacking with a testosterone ester at 250-500mg per week is ideal for beginners.
Week 1-12 – 500mg/week Testosterone Enanthate, 0.5mg/eod Arimidex
Week 7-12 – 50mg/day Winstrol
Week 1-12 – 100mg/eod Testosterone Propionate, 0.5mg/eod Arimidex
Week 7-12 – 50mg/day Winstrol
*eod – every other day
INTERMEDIATE WINSTROL CYCLE
40mg to 80mg daily of oral Winstrol for a 6-week cycle is ideal for intermediate users. Again, monitoring effects as you go allows you to increase or decrease dosage throughout the cycle, keeping in mind that the positive benefits of using a much higher dosage are going to be outweighed by the negative impact to the liver.
Most intermediate users using Winstrol for cutting cycles and fat loss will stack it with a steroid like Trenbolone to achieve maximum fat loss while retaining lean muscle and accomplishing a hard, ripped and vascular appearance by the end of the cycle.
Week 1-12 – 150mg/eod Testosterone Propionate, 0.5mg/eod Arimidex
Week 1-8 – 400mg/week Equipoise
Week 7-12 – 50mg/day Winstrol, 75mg/eod Trenbolone Acetate
*eod – every other day
ADVANCED WINSTROL CYCLE
A maximum dosage of 100mg/day is often considered by advanced users of Winstrol, particularly for an upcoming competition. In this case, an advanced Winstrol cycle may involve using 50mg/day for four weeks, increasing to 100mg/day for the final two weeks of this six-to-eight-week cycle.
Advanced users will likely be using multiple other steroids in a stack, while at the very least including a testosterone steroid such as a long ester in the form of testosterone enanthate at up to 500mg per week and depending on overall goals, halting Winstrol at week 6 to 8 of the cycle, while continuing with testosterone and other steroids for the remaining duration.
Week 1-8 – 250mg/eod Testosterone Enanthate, 200mg/eod Equipoise
Week 9-16 – 200mg/eod Testosterone Propionate, 50mg/day Winstrol, 100mg/eod Trenbolone Acetate
Week 1-16 (optional) – 1mg/ed Arimidex, 4iu/ed HGH
*eod – every other day
*ed – every day
Effect on Cycle
Winstrol is a unique steroid with a fairly specialist range of effects and benefits that will appeal to people who know exactly what they’re trying to achieve. Consider some of these top benefits of Winstrol before you consider whether this is the steroid that suits you.
There are countless benefits to using Winstrol so it’s not surprising that this steroid appeals to so many people.
- Excellent cutting steroid
- Boosts strength, agility and power so your performance and results skyrocket
- Increases muscle hardness without water retention so it’s known as a dry steroid
- Does not convert to estrogen so you miss out on other nasty side effects that other steroids cause
- Causes moderate but not huge gains in muscle, so it’s perfect for toning without bulking
- Helps reduce body fat percentage without losing your hard-earned muscle gains without water retention.
- Is one of the few suitable steroids for women
- Very suitable and effective for stacking with a large range of other steroids
- Gives you a choice of both oral and injectable administration
- Has relatively moderate side effects when used sensibly compared with other steroids
- Dosage is simple between both oral and injectable so no need to convert quantities
It goes without saying that to experience the best that Winstrol can deliver during a cutting phase, you should already be doing everything you can when it comes to diet and exercise to get lean and trim.
The benefits and positive effects of Winstrol need to be balanced against the negatives, including its high level of hepatotoxicity which is why most people use Winstrol sparingly and at times where it will be of maximum benefit – such as prior to competitions
The area where Winstrol excels the most when it comes to results is in pure athletic performance. Power and speed receive remarkable boosts, as does overall strength to support all round performance enhancement.
This is what makes Winstrol so revered amongst track and field athletes in particular. Because Winstrol is not a bulking or weight gain hormone, it’s especially suited to those wanting to retain as lean physique as possible.
On a Winstrol cycle you should also notice increased tendon strength, and while not necessarily noticeable, Winstrol is known to positive benefit bone strength as well.
Winstrol is not a compound you will use for bulking up or is it one that benefits as a standalone steroid due to the fact it’s not a powerful muscle gainer like so many other anabolic steroids out there.
Using Winstrol to cut body fat and improve athletic performance is where you will see the greatest results and Winstrol is a firm favorite for these purposes without adding bulk as its use can essentially go unnoticed from a physical perspective.
Side Effects
As with all anabolic androgenic steroids, you can expect side effects to be a big focus of your use of Winstrol. On the positive side, this is a non-aromatizing steroid, so you won’t have the worries of water retention and gyno.
But with suppression of your natural testosterone production, you can expect to see some predictable side effects with this steroid although it is considered one of the milder compounds without the more extreme negative effects you’ll experience with other steroids.
- Cholesterol
Virilization (Masculinization) – Although stanozolol has lower androgenic effects than many other steroids, virilization side effects are still possible and can include acne and baldness. Women are more likely to experience the development of masculine features with Winstrol, even at low doses, and this includes a lowering of the voice and development of body and facial hair.
- Hepatotoxicity – Liver damage and changes to normal liver function are always a high risk with oral steroids as they must make a first pass through the liver. This is the big reason we limit Winstrol use to a maximum of 8 weeks (although 6 weeks is considered much safer) with at least the same amount of break time in between, allowing the liver to recover.
- Increased Urination
- Â Joint pain
- Supression or shut down of HPTA (Hypothalamic Pituitary Testicular Axis) – HPTA controls essential hormone production including testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH). As with most anabolic steroids, Winstrol will cause normal hormonal function to become suppressed or even shut off completely, resulting in a crash of hormone function once you finish a cycle. Recovering natural testosterone production is a slow process taking months, which is why post cycle therapy (PCT) is critical so you can get normal hormonal function and testosterone levels elevated quicker.
- Nausea and Vomiting
