Description
Background Information
The injection form of Stanozolol is a water based injectable steroid that is a derivative of DHT. This of course makes the injectable form moderately liver toxic and the oral form liver toxic in high dosages. It should be made clear that the injectable form is the same as the oral. For this reason the injectable form has frequently been used as an oral also. Why would anyone have done that? Well, when passing through the liver for deactivation, this causes a distinct elevation in IGF-1 production. The injectable stanozolol has been much cheaper than oral stanozolol, so some athletes opt to utilize it as an oral.
Stanozolol is a high anabolic /moderate androgenic that causes a significant elevation in protein synthesis and an improved nitrogen retention. Since it does not aromatize to estrogen, water retention, gyno, and female pattern fat deposits do not occur. A high protein diet of 1.5-2-g of protein per LB of bodyweight daily was necessary to obtain the best results. This was not noted as a steroid for rapid weight gains but was commonly affirmed as ideal for a continuous slow gain in very high quality lean muscle mass that was well retained after discontinuance.
Off Season Usage
Many who compete utilize Winstrol off-season with testosterone for its anabolic value. Many use Winstrol (stanozolol) as a pre-contest drug because it provided a continuously harder appearance. When 50-100mg every 1-2 days was stacked with 76- mg of Parabolan every 2-3 days, the results were quite impressive. Many also add Masteron, Equipoise, or Testosterone Propionate with the addition of anti-estrogens for water retention and aromatization control.
Female Usage
Women often use Winstrol Depot. “Usually” those who used 25mg 2-3 times weekly or a single weekly 50-mg injection reported no virilization effects. Stacked with Oxandrolone and/or Durabolin, women achieved excellent quality lean mass gains.
Winstrol Depot in a Mass Cycle
Since Stanozolol produced a surprising increase in strength, it has been used as a part of a mass cycle as well. Novices and older males made very impressive “second cycle” gains stacking
- 50mg of Stanozolol every other day
- 200-300mg of Primobolan Depot or Deca-Durabolin weekly.
- 50-100mg Stanozolol with 50- 100mg Testosterone Propionate daily.
This was a fairly high weekly dosage and was hopefully considered for advanced athletes..if at all.
Winstrol is another AAS that was commonly used in a site-injection protocol for lagging body parts.
Anabolic Steroid Guide reference
Winstrol is one of the favorite steroids in general, as confirmed by many positive doping cases. Stanozolol, for example, was one of the substances which enabled Ben Johnson to achieve his magic sprints. It also gave this exceptional athlete a distinctly visible gain in hard and defined quality muscles, possibly making quite a few bodybuilders envious.
During the first doping-tested professional bodybuilding championships, the Arnold’s Classic 1990, the winner, Shawn Ray, and the enormously massive Canadian pro, Nimrod King, tested positive on Winstrol (stanozolol), (FLEX, July 1990). The Track and Field World Championships 1993 in Stuttgart also brought two positive “stanozolol cases” to light.
To make a long story short: Winstrol is a very effective steroid when used correctly. It is important to distinguish be-tween the two different forms of administration of stanozolol, since the injectable Winstrol Depot is distinctly more effective than the oral Winstrol. Thus it is preferred by most athletes.
What is special about the injectable Winstrol Depot is that its substance is not as is common in almost all steroids-dissolved in oil; it is dissolved in water. Although almost every steroid experienced bodybuilder knows this difference, the practical application of this knowledge rarely occurs: the injection-free intervals of the compound Winstrol Depot must be distinctly shorter than with the other common steroids.
Important Information
This means that Winstrol Depot 50 mg/ml must be injected much more frequently than the oil-dissolved steroids (e.g. Primobolan, Deca-Durabolin, Sustanon 250, Parabolan, etc.). The reason for this is the relative low half-life time of steroids. Those dissolved in water must be injected at least every second day, and best results are observed at a daily injection of 50 mg.
The substance stanozolol is a precursor to the dihydrotestosterone and consequently, it prevents Winstrol Depot from aromatizing into estrogens with water retention occurring only rarely. Based on these characteristics the main application of Winstrol Depot is clearly defined in bodybuilding: preparation for a competition and for a lean, hard, dry look to your physique.. Together with a calorie-reduced diet which is rich in protein Winstrol Depot gives the muscles a continuously harder appearance.
Winstrol Depot is usually not used as the only steroid during dieting since, based on its low androgenic component, it does not reliably protect the athlete from losing muscle tissue. The missing, pronounced androgenic effect is often balanced by a combined intake with Parabolan. Depending on the athlete’s performance level, the athlete usually takes 50 mg Winstrol Depot every 1-2 days and Parabolan 76 mg/1.5 ml every 1-2 days.
Although there is no scientific proof of a special combined action between Winstrol Depot and Parabolan, based on several practical examples, a synergetic effect seems likely. Other steroids which athletes successfully combine with Winstrol Depot during the preparation for a competition include Masteron, Equipoise, Oxandrolone, Testosterone propionate, Primobolan, and HGH.
Possible Side Effects
Winstrol Depot, however, is not only especially suited during preparation for a competition but also in a gaining phase. Since it does not cause water retention rapid weight gains with Winstrol Depot are very rare. However, a solid muscle gain and an over proportionally strong strength increase occur, usually remaining after use of the compound is discontinued.
Winstrol Depot is mainly an anabolic steroid with a moderate, androgenic effect which, however, can especially manifest itself in women dosing 50 mg/week and in men dosing higher quantities. Problems in female athletes usually occur when a quantity of 50 mg is injected twice weekly. The effect of Winstrol Depot decreases considerably after a few days and thus an injection at least twice weekly is justified. However, an undesired accumulation of androgens in the female organism can occur, resulting in masculinization symptoms – Some deep female voices certainly originated with the intake of Winstrol Depot.
However, a dose of 50 mg Winstrol Depot every second day in ambitious female athletes is the rule rather than the exception. Other non-androgenic side effects can occur in men as well as in women, manifesting themselves in headaches, cramps, changes in the HDL and LDL values, and in rare cases, in high blood pressure. Possible liver damage can be estimated as very low when Winstrol is injected; however, in large doses an elevation in the liver values is possible. Since Winstrol Depot is dissolved in water the injections are usually more uncomfortable or more painful than is the case with oily solutions.
How To Spot Fake Winstrol Depot
Although there are many fakes of the injectable Winstrol, as it is lovingly called by its users, is easily recognized based on its unusual form of administration. At a first glance the content of the ampule is only a milky, white, watery solution which, however, has distinct characteristics. When the ampule is left flat in its ampule box or, for example, stands upright on a table, the substance accumulates as a distinctly visible white layer on the lower side of the glass and can only be mixed with the watery fluid if shaken several times or rolled forward and backward.
An ampule containing I ml of suspension and its 50 mg dissolved stanozolol should normally separate a white layer in the size of almost a thumbnail. The athlete thus can easily determine whether his injectable Winstrol is actually stanozolol or is rather under closed. Do not buy ampules or glass vials which contain more than I ml of suspension since an original injectable Winstrol is only available in one-milliliter glass ampules.
When injected daily Winstrol Depot can become a very expensive compound. It also has the disadvantage that, because of the frequent injections, the already-mentioned scar tissue will develop in the gluteal region (buttocks) which leads many athletes to inject Winstrol in their shoulders, arms, legs or even calves. Although this was originally intended as an expedient, injecting Winstrol Depot into certain muscles has become increasingly popular since athletes have noticed that this leads to an accelerated growth of the affected muscle.
