Boldenone and Winstrol Cycle

What is Boldenone?
This is a very popular steroid which is legally available at the veterinary clinic. It is a highly anabolic steroid and as a result it is administered as a stack with other steroids such as testosterone if you are on a big cycle.

What is Winstrol?
Considered to be one of the most popular anabolic steroids of all time, it is best known for its ability to increase performance for athletes through strength and speed. It is also useful to men and women as well since it is one of the few anabolic steroids that can be used by women comfortably.

Using the Boldenone steroid
    - This steroid for starters is basically taken with other steroids such as testosterone builders if you are on a mass cycle or it is taken together with Winstrol if you are on a cutting cycle.
    - It is known for increasing protein synthesis on the muscle cells within the body, a similar effect that you get when taking anavar.
    - The Boldenone gives one a slower but a higher muscle gain, different from the quick muscle building that is expected from testosterone.
    - It is not supposed to be taken on its own and one should be ready to expect 20lbs. within the next 6 weeks or so. The results are visible after 3 weeks or less as it is not just instant as you may expect.

Putting some Boldenone in you
    - The effect that this steroid has is seemingly more permanent than any other effective gains experienced from other kinds of testosterone.
    - The Boldenone steroid stays active in the system for a longer period than most of the testosterones that you’ll find.

Competitive gain from using Boldenone

It is a very common steroid in the contest scene for reasons like:
    - It has a low amount of aromatization
    - It has very little water retention too.
    - It is also known for giving in the pumps you do as you are working out due to an increase in the red blood cells that is an effect of taking it.
    - It also causes a sharp increase in appetite and it also assures one of good muscle gain when it is taken together with a mass gaining steroid.

The female Winstrol cycle
    - Being amongst the few anabolic steroids that can be tolerated by women, you can benefit from it if your dose is kept at a minimal level although there is no 100% guarantee.
    - A lot of women who are from track to bodybuilding, fitness to even figure maintenance have completed Winstrol cycles, where a majority of these women use the oral tablets alone.
    - The tablets are found in 10mg and 50mg as the optimal female dose for beginners is set to 10mg.
    - It is not advisable for any woman that intends to have a Winstrol cycle to go above 10mg.

The male Winstrol cycle
    - A good Winstrol cycle can run for about 6 to 8 weeks on a dose equal to 50mg daily.
    - Some may find the dose to be all they need but as an anabolic steroid with a very short half life, it is best administered as a tablet.
    - No matter your experience with the steroid, 50mg is the best dosage and it is not advisable to go beyond 8 weeks as it is a steroid that is toxic to the liver. The liver though can return to normal after discontinued use only if the intake is administered responsibly.
    - As for competitors, a majority of them find 100mg of this steroid to be very useful two weeks prior to a competition as it really hardens them up.
    - If you want to take the 100mg then you should know that 14 days is the maximum number of days that you can take the steroid as anything past such duration may cause toxicity to the body.

Winstrol cycle side effects
    - It is important to always understand the side effects of Winstrol intake so that one may be safe and effective during the usage.
    - There are the serious side effects of administering Winstrol where cholesterol issues come up when the steroid is being used. The Stanozolol can give very negative effects as it increases the bad cholesterol in your system and decreases the good cholesterol too.
    - It should be avoided by those that already have poor cholesterol readings as d cholesterol diets that are highly recommended during the intake.
    - A guaranteed side effect of using Winstrol is the suppression of natural testosterone production. One is therefore advised to supplement this with some testosterone when Winstrol is in use so that high androgen levels can be maintained.
    - As for the women, using Winstrol can cause virilization with effects such as the destruction of the woman’s femininity.

Anabolic Steroids and Fat Loss: proper manipulation for best results

Individuals who want to cut down on body fat should conduct aerobic training 4 to 5 times a week (running on a track, cycling, jogging) at least 35 to 45 minutes without rest, in zone of 55-70% of maximum heart rate, because this burns fat.

Why at least 45 minutes? Because this is the time necessary for your body to activate enzymes that transform fat into energy!

It is known that carnitine has different roles, most popular one being ability to transport fats through cell membranes to mitochondria, where fat is used as energy source.

Pyruvate enhances metabolism and improves thermogenesis, thus helping fat burning in body, if taken just before you star aerobic training. Many body-builders also use steroids to speed-up this process of fat loss.

Which anabolic steroids to use?

In the world of anabolic steroids, there are numerous different choices, which make your personal choice very difficult.

Which steroid to choose to achieve the best result? Inexperienced users often combine different steroids in dosages of more than 100 mg per day, for weeks and months without break.

This is medically unnecessary and excessive testosterone use that creates testosterone level far above the normal in the body of health, grown man. This can lead to number of difficult side-effects and cause health problems.

One of most serious problems is liver damage that can be caused by oral steroid use. Other possible serious problem of steroid (ab)use is increased level of cholesterol and subsequent heart attack, or significant sexual changes.

Obviously, knowledge and research is mandatory before you start taking any anabolic steroid. In our experience, top ten of most popular steroids among body-builders and athletes, are:

    Clenbuterol
    Anavar
    Winstrol
    Dianabol
    DecaDurabolin
    Primabolan
    Anadrole
    Sustanon 250
    Teststerone cypionate
    Testosterone enanthate

Cutting cycles

It is difficult to say that there is one perfect cycle to apply with steroids, because different types of athletes have successfully used different steroid cycles.

There are few things you have to keep in mind when you consider using steroids. For one, you have to train hard and regularly, while also applying perfect nutritional diet.

For a beginner, one of great cycles would be to combine Decadurabolan  (use 200-400mg per week for 2 months straight) and Sustanon 250 OR Testaviron depot (use 500mg per week for 2 months as well).

Deca will enable you to build muscle mass, while Sustanon or Testaviron will enable you to lose fat. Again, high-quality nutrition is the key for your success in achieving both of the goals: fat loss and muscle gain.

If this cycle works great for you, you can prolong it for another 2 or 4 weeks. After you finish with cycle, make sure to use Clomid to bring back hormones in level post-cycle. Use Clomid for 10 to 14 days after you finish cycle.

Use a balanced combination

In order to achieve good fat loss results, as seen above, you have to choose effective steroid combination and stick to it. If you control estradiol level with antiaromatase or combine Dianabol with testosterone, you will achieve your goal.

Balanced combination will be the one where you combine non-aromatizing and aromatizing steroids in amount of up to 400 mg weekly.

Are you unsure about what steroids aromatisation suppose? Read this post to find clearly explained information about steroids aromatisation: What is steroid aromatization

Dosage counts

Athletes can achieve different results when it comes to fat loss and muscle gain, but it is difficult to attribute it to particular steroid cycle. It is possible that individual steroid dosage in combination can make difference.

So if you want to see superior result in short time so take 50 mg/day Trenbolone acetate that will help you in getting better cutting result of your stiff.

Conclusion

It can be concluded that individual steroid will not bring more fat loss than the other, but that the key is in combination, if you are seeking faster and more obvious results in certain timeframe.

While working on achieving results in fat loss and muscle gain, it is also important to care for decrease of negative side-effects (gynecomastia or sexual problems). Dosage can also make a difference in combination in cycle, and every cycle should be observed individually.

The difference between oral and injectable Winstrol

Winstrol is a DHT steroids that can be found in both forms: oral and injectable. It is highly admired for its abilities to burn fat and extra weight effectively while retaining body mass. It’s a derivative of testosterone, and as so it is expected to present good bulking effects, but you will not have such a pleasure with it. Whether it’s oral Winstrol or Winstrol Depot (injectable form) is not entitled to look for muscle gains as their structure was changed in way that deprive them from this function.

Winstrol is usually a great addition to any steroid cycle, as aside of its fat burning abilities, it also increases the amount of free testosterone in the body that may further increase the potency of other concurrently used anabolics. Since it is a DHT, it doesn’t aromatize, so it doesn’t water retention, bloating, gyno or other side effects associated with high level of estrogen in the body. Winstrol is largely used for its dry, shredded effect on body which is achieved mainly due to its antiestrogenic effects.

It may seem that whatever form of Winstrol you take you should wait for the same results. From technical standpoint, it is so since both forms deliver, in some wise, the same results and even have the same bad effect on your liver. With the minor difference that oral Winstrol is far more liver toxic, while Winstrol Depot is less since it enter the bloodstream directly. Winstrol is the single one steroid which in both forms display the same effects on body.

The difference between oral injectable Winstrol rely on how and when they are metabolized. Oral Winstrol has designed in a such way that it could pass the liver and gut and get in the bloodstream in a sizeable amount. For this purpose to its structure was added an c17 methylation which don’t let the liver metabolize the drug uterry. However, the degree of drug absorption by intestines and liver is different, as well as this process differ from one person to another.

Don’t imagine once oral Winstrol pass the first pass and get into bloodstream the whole process of absorption is over. The drug circulates in the blood until its is catched by another tissue and push to liver again. Further it has to pass the second time liver pitching, and chances are that the active amount of drugs is significantly reduced once again.
From this perspective, injectable steroid is much more effective as it enter the bloodstream directly and undergo only the second pass while oral form has to do it twice.

Aside of this, injectable Winstrol increases the nitrogen retention every time it is taken. Since an increase in nitrogen retention is directly related to muscle mass gain, is correctly to suppose that namely injectable winstrol is able to promote faster and effective muscle gain even in that modest amount.

Why to choose oral Winstrol for your cycle
With all the advantages of Winstrol Depot occur the question: why users will risk with Oral Winstrol? What makes it irreplaceable? It may sound trivial, but all those who fear needless found oral Winstrol a good alternative to injectable one. You have to know, that there are some other very important traits that makes oral Winstrol a good addition to your stack.

Oral Winstrol have good synergetic effect, being able to increase the potency of other anabolics taken concomitantly at several times. This is possible due to the influence it has on Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), a glycoprotein found in the liver. Its function is to convey the testosterone throughout the body, but it has the bad habit to bound to the testosterone and prevent it from its anabolic functions.

Since oral steroid have to pass through the liver it interacts with SHBG and have an unexpected effect on it: it lowering it as no other steroidi is able to do. This way, oral winstrol “ save” big amounts of testosterone and let the m work. The lower is the SHBG, the higher is the anabolic activity of testosterone. At a dosage of only 2 mg of oral Winstrol for each body weight, the SHBG is reduced to almost fifty percent.

The same effect would not be possible to achieve with injectable Winstrol. The reason is that injectable Winstrol primarily got in the bloodstream and only after this pass the liver and has the possibility to interact with SHBG. Oral Winstrol do it in first instance, and manage to get control of SHBG right from the beginning.

In general, orally taken steroid have a greater impact on SHBG than injectable ones. Not in vain we are advised to stack an oral and an injectable steroid for better results and safe use.

Winstrol for women: oral or injectable? If for men oral winstrol use is beneficial as it lowers SHBG, hence free up more testosterone, the same effect is not wanted in women. The more testosterone is available in women body, the higher chances to develop virilization features.

And yes, you can even drink Winstrol Depot as it is the same as oral, it’s just micronized Stanozolol powder suspended in water.

Stacking Dianabol with Injectable Steroids


Dianabol is a “17 alpha alkylated” steroid. It works by affecting the protein synthesis and supports the buildup of protein. This is a powerful steroid with both anabolic and androgenic effect on the user. This results in a quick and powerful buildup of strength and muscle mass making its primary use in conjunction with mass building injection stacks.

With this in mind Dianabol in commonly paired with injectable testosterone, (enanthate, cypionate and sustanon). The primary reason for this is to kick-start the mass building process. The aforementioned testosterones can take up to 3 – 4 weeks before becoming effective. The kick-start process will improve the gains in muscle mass, strength and the improvement of muscle pumps. There could be a weight gain of 2-4 pounds every week with the proper nutrition and training.

 Weight gain:

The reason for the weight gain is due to the fact that there is growth in the muscle fibers along with water retention. Dianabol aromatize quickly and easily, as a result of its high estrogenic properties. Due to these properties it is not advised to take prior to competition.

Side effects:

Because Dianabol goes into the category of 17-AA it is liver toxic. Over extended periods of time this can create high stress on the liver.
With the increase in weight due to its being a hypertrophy and water retention this could increase ones blood pressure to the point of requiring medications for blood pressure control.
Dianabol can create a serious case of acne on the face and neck, shoulders, back and chest. This is due to the Dianabols conversion to dihydrotestosterone.
Because this product readily converts to estrogens, gynecomastia is another possibility.
Should there be a genetic predisposition to hair loss Dianabol will increase the rapidity of hair loss.
Known to improve your mood however, discontinuing of Dianabol will create a loss in strength since there will no longer be fluid retention.
In order for your body to metabolize Dianabol, large quantities of water should be consumed.  1-2 gallons of water per day is highly recommended. Should this advisory not be followed the performing of strenuous exercises and back pumps can be met with headaches.

 Stacking:

Because of the short life of Dianabol, which is only 3-5 hours, multiple doses may have to be taken. Dianabol can cause painful gastrointestinal symptoms if not taken with food. It requires 1 -3 hours to reach the blood stream.

Dianabols purpose is to jump start  mass and weight gain. It should only be used for a 4-6 week cycle under medical supervision. Dianabol only cycles are severely deterred. This is because it would require a large amount of Dianabol to replace the effects of testosterone.

Examples of Dinabol stacking cycles

The beginner cycle is as follows:

    1 Testosterone Enanthate – 500 mg. week, Dianabol (D-bol) 25 mg. daily, Arimidex – 0.5 every other day.
    2 – 6, same dosages
    7 – 12 discontinue Dianabol during week 7, every thing else remains the same.

The intermediate cycle is as follows:

    1 Sustanon 250, 750 mg. per week, Deca-Durobolin, 400 mg. wk. Dianabol, 50 mg. daily, Arimidex, 0.5 every other day.
    Remains the same until the 6th week, eliminate Dianabol at this time.
    Weeks 7 – 14 eliminate Deca-Durobolin rest of dosages remain the same.
    Weeks 15-16 continue Sustanon and Arimidex at same levels.


If you do decide to engage in a Dianabol cycle there are key factors to remember. While Dianabol is a very powerful steroid, you will automatically increase in size. In order to retain the weight you must fortify your growth with food. This and high quantities of water will help keep you healthy.

Stacking Deca Durabolin with peptides like TB-500 or GHRP-6 for healing effect

Aside of bulking, cutting or strength increasing effect, anabolic steroids are also used for healing injuries. Some of them have good anti-inflammatory effects, while all of them increase the number of red cells, pumping more blood not only to muscle tissues, but most important to ligaments and tendons. These parts are poorly fluidized; hence healing process takes longer and is more painful.

Please make the difference between corticosteroids and androgenic anabolic steroids. First group of steroids is based on cortisol, a substance that carries high healing properties, but also induce a greater catabolic effect during which a big percentage of muscle mass is eaten. Taking corticosteroids for healing injuries can be a good idea only if you don’t care about your muscle mass. Contrary, you have to properly manipulate your training or diet to keep catabolic process under control.

Taking peptides with steroids enhance muscle building process several times. Following such a stack can help to gain impressive amounts of muscle mass with even less steroids. And all this happens due to peptides. They greatly increase appetite and Human Growth Hormone level, which in result produce more ICF-1. This is that’s one hormone responsible for muscle growth.
Due to all these properties, peptides speed up recovery and carry good healing effects. Most of bodybuilders use to combine TB-500 with GHRP-6 or hGH to help body recover faster and heal injured tendons, ligaments or joints. There is no contraindication for mixing them, while dosage pretty low. 4-5 mg/week of TB-500 and 150-200 mcg three times per day of GHRP -6 is more than enough to promote healing in just few weeks of use.

Not that you are limited to these dosage, you can easily go with higher than this. The proper dosage can be set individually, based on your body reaction.

Why to mix a steroid with peptides for healing when they seem to work great alone

This is a very good question and if you take a look on steroids boards you will see that the number of those who want to know it is pretty high.

Peptides have the ability to enhance steroids properties and cause more gains. In the regard of healing effect, peptides accelerate recovery and help body to return to normal condition in short time. The alone use of peptides can cause some loss in muscle mass, due to increased cortisol level. By taking a steroid along with peptides catabolic process is reduced at minimum, these way individuals managing to keep on muscle mass they already have.

Not all steroids fit such a goal. Along with Deca Durabolin, just Equipoisecan also be used for reducing pain and inflammation. Deca Durabolin has good anti inflammatory properties and when stacked with peptides these effect  is even more prominent.

Equipoise has not the same anti inflammatory action as Deca Durabolin do, but it is highly appreciated for its ability to increase red blood cells and transport more nutrients and oxygen to damaged parts. Due to this rehab process is shorter and you have not to support big pain for such long time.

When not to mix Deca Durabolin with peptides

If you are worried with side effects like hair loss, acne, prostate growth or other than taking Deca Durabolin could be a problem. It just can worsen symptoms you already have leading to irreversible effects. Know your weak points and make sure a steroid intake is not going to cause you more damage than benefits.

If you are not sure with Deca Durabolin you can simply go with TB-500 and GHRP-6. Rehabilitation would be much faster than not using them at all, while no side effects are attached.

Long-Term and Low-Dose Oral Steroid Use as an Alternative to Traditional Steroid Cycles

However, there’s a real lack of evidence for the idea. I’ve never seen it done with success worth mentioning. On the other hand, it’s rarely tried, so I’ve only seen a handful of examples. And perhaps less-focused, less-dedicated training might have gone along with the less-focused, less-dedicated steroid use.

Pharmacologically, there are reasons why using anabolic steroids some days but not others might not give as much results as sustained use. The biological processes activated by the androgen receptor are not immediate, but take days to complete. Failing to sustain high androgen levels throughout the process might limit results. But that’s not a conclusive argument. For example, GH levels don’t have to be sustained to provide sustained biological activity.

What is conclusive is that sustaining high androgen levels does work, beyond doubt. Peaks that come and go? Not proven, and what evidence there is has it not working very well.

So if you want to experiment with this idea, you can, but inferior results are likely.

To meet your concerns while making at least as much gains per year as with traditional cycles, I’d suggest 2-week cycles. Total yearly progress is typically as good or better as with longer cycles, but body transformation is in smaller jumps.

Another reason not to rely only on orals is liver toxicity. With properly-planned steroid cycles, at most some of the steroids used will be liver toxic, because half or more of the total amount used will be non-alkylated injectables. Relying on orals only, the entire amount used is liver toxic, typically. It’s better to get most or all of the effect from injectables than to rely solely on orals.

The Truth about Low Dose Cycles

Many people write that 200mg of testosterone per week does nothing more than shut down a man's natural test production and bring him near "normal levels"--this is not quite correct (part of the statement is correct part of it is not). This incorrect statement has endured probably because someone wrote down thier idea/theory of what happens in the body, it sounded good, and other people repeated it. But, it is not correct. Yes, 200mg of a long lasting ester of testosterone will shut down natural test production, BUT the amount of 200mg of a long lasting ester of testosterone is more than twice the "normal levels" of test in the body of a healthy non-steroid using male. Therefore, 200mg of a long lasting ester of testosterone per week is far more than enough to grow on.

Using a long acting ester testosterone (test cyp and test enanth) does not mimic the normally functioning male body's circadian rhythm (daily rise and fall of testosterone). Testosterone, in a normally functioning body, does not explode up to high levels then gradually fall over a 1-2 week period as it does when injecting a testosterone such as CYP or ENAN. On the contrary, the body produces a small amount each day which is far below 200mg (It's around 10mg). That small amount is concentrated at the beginning of the day and then falls low by the end of the day. This process repeats itself every day and by the end of two weeks, a normally functioning body produces approximately 140mg of testosterone (appx. 70mg per week).

The use of long acting esters are in theory supposed to slowly release the testosterone over a two week period, but this is not quite what happens. To keep it simple, the delay of the esters actually allows large amounts of testosterone to build up--especially if you are taking 200mg every week as opposed to once every two weeks (biweekly) which is what the dose is supposed to be. (I'm simplifying here). Remember the "normally functioning" male produces only (appx.) 70mg per week (=140mg per two weeks). The dose doctors are recommended to perscribe is 200mg every 2 weeks (biweekly), but they tend to give 200mg every week.

So, it is fallacious reasoning to compare the TOTAL amount of testosterone produced in daily spurts in a normally functioning body over a 2 week period to the same amount of testosterone injected in one shot at the beginning of a week and reshot every week (before the previous week's dose is used up). The latter case (injections once per week) results in an overlap and build up of dose which causes the levels of testosterone to be HIGHER than normal. (Remember the shots should actually be 200mg every TWO weeks--not every week). These excess levels of testosterone are sufficient to build lean body mass faster than the "normally functioning" male.

In other words: addding up what the average male body produces per week then comparing that to the amount that is shot every week is like comparing apples to oranges. There is a whole diferent set of advantageous reactions happening in the body when it is given a full
2-week load (200mg) at the beginning of a week as opposed to getting naturally occuring, small, daily spurts of appx 10mg over the same period of time (2 weeks).

This is why a low dose cycle can yeild REASONABLE gains. Understand, I'm not talking mega-huge-fast gains. I'm talking noticably-faster-than-normal gains, which when coupled with a strict diet, sufficient rest and an excellent bodybuilding work ethic, can yeild large, solid gains (especially early in a person's cycle experience).
