steroid a-z

Dianabol

         Dianabol is the brand name for Methandrostenolone.  Dianabol is know as a very effective  mass builder.   Generally Dianabol is taken in a bulk cycle.  Stacks well with Deca-Durabolin and Testosterone Enanthate.

         Dianabol can have significant negative effects on the liver so cycles are normally no longer than 8 weeks.

         The half life of Dianabol is about 4 hours.  If you want to keep your blood level steady it is advised to take it throughout the day. You can also take it as a single dose which will give you a higher blood level at one time

         Because Dianabol is a powerful steroid it comes with negative side effects.  It converts to estrogen which can cause Gynecomastia.  Nolvadex and/or Provironum can be taken as anti estrogens to combat this.  Bloating is a huge problem, as you get a lot of water retention.

Cycle: Bulking
Half life: 4 hours
Active life: 8 hours
Aromatization: yes
DHT Conversion: no
Post Cycle Therapy: Clomid, Nolvadex, HCG

Winstrol

         Winstrol is a brand name that Wintrhrop Labs gave for Stanozolol, which they developed in 1962.  Stanozolol is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone.

         However Stanozolol is not as strong as dihydrotestosterone.  In fact Stanozolols anabolic properties are mild when compared to most compounds that are stronger.  This being said Stanozolol is still a very good at building lean muscle.  Its anabolic properties could even be compared to Dianabol, but Winstrol does not cause a person retain water like  Dianabol does.

         The muscle you gain while on Stanozolol is of higher quality when compared to other more estrogenic steroids.

         One of the most favorable aspects of Stanzolol is that it doesn't convert to estrogen, so you don't need to use an anti-estrogen.

         Because Stanozolol does not convert into estrogen there is no water retention.  Instead of that puffy, bulky look that users end up with while bulking and on a steroid such as Dianabol you instead get a dry look, with lean looking muscle.  For this reason it is often used during cut cycles, and is also very popular with runners.  In fact Stanozolol is compound that Ben Johnson tested positive after becoming the worlds fastest man and winning the Gold in the 1988 Summer Olympics.

         Stanzolol comes in tablet form, or liquid.  The injectable liquid varies from other steroids in that it is suspended in water and not oil.  You can easily identify Stanzolol by its white milky color.
         It is common to stack Stanzolol with other steroids to increase its effectiveness.  When bulking stack stanzolol with Testosterone, Dianabol, or Anadrol.  A stack such as this will give the user good muscle gains, without having excessive amounts of water retention.

         When using Stanzolol in a cutting stack it can be taken with Trenbolone.  A stack such as this should give the user a ripped look. For those who are sensitive to gynecamastia Primobolan, Deca-Durabolin or Boldenone can be used.

Anavar

Anavar is the brand name for the anabolic steroid Oxandrolone.  It  was purposely designed to be mildly anabolic, so it could be used to safely stimulate growth in children.

         Like Winstrol Oxandrolone  is a derivative of Dihydrotestosterone.  It also  does not convert into estrogen.  Excess estrogen limits linear growth, which explains why women stop growing before men, and why they are shorter in stature.
       
         For bodybuilders Oxandrolone is most often used during cutting cycles.  It can be combined with Primobolan or  Winstrol to create hard looking muscle with good definition.  Stronger androgens that do not aromatize such as Provironum or Trenbolone can be added to harden up the muscle while also making it easier to lose fat.

         In a bulk cycle add Testosterone or Dianabol.  The combination creates good strength gains along with higher quality muscle without the puffy look.

         For women or those sensitive to side effects of more anabolic compounds stack Anavar with Winstrol, Primobolan, or Deca Durabolin.  This combination should creates faster gains, but it also increases androgenic buildup.

         Because Oxandrolone does not convert to estrogen there in no need to use anti-estrogens.  In low dosages this steroid has only a small effect on natural testosterone production.  In higher doses there are the usual side effects associated with steroids such as acne, male pattern baldness, and liver stress.
Androlic

         Androlic is the brand name for Oxymetholone.  While there are injectable versions of this steroid they are rare; oral Oxymetholone is far more common.

         Androlic is believed to be the most powerful steroid available.  It is similar to Dianabol in that you get massive gains in short periods of time.

         You also get a lot of water retention with this steroid not because it aromatizes.  In fact Androlic does not convert to estrogen so how it can cause Gynecomastia is a bit of a mystery.

         Some people believe it is because Androlic acts directly on estrogen receptors.  There is no evidence to back this up thus further research is required before it is known how it can cause Gynecomastia.

         Not everyone will experience gyno from Androlic, but approximately fifty percent of users might get this side effect.  The use of an anti-estrogen while on a steroid cycle will effectively prevent Gynecomastia.

Mesterolone

         Mesterolone is a  oral steroid that is commonly sold under the brand name Provironum.

         For the most part mesterolone is used to boost the libido or to treat other hormonal conditions.  Even though it is a strong androgen its effect on body in terms of protein synthesis and muscle building is limited.

         Mesterolone prevents steroids from from converting into estrogen, and for this reason it is used by bodybuilders to avoid gynecomastia. Unlike most oral steroids Mesterolone is easy on the liver.

         Mesterolone is popular during the cut cycle.  When using Winstrol, Anavar, or Primobolan by themselves there is very little androgenic content.  By adding Mesterolone it raises the androgen levels, while reducing estrogen which leads to muscle hardening.

         Usually small quantities can be taken even by female athletes, but it is an androgen and thus can cause virilization.    Women should limit their dosage of Mesterolone to 25 mg, and keep they cycle short; no longer than four to five weeks. This small dose is helpful for women during the cutting phase as it helps harden up muscles, and makes it easier to burn body fat.

Deca  

         Deca durabolin or simply �Deca' is a common brand name for the compound �Nandrolone Decanoate'.

         Deca happens to be the most commonly used and widely trusted anabolic steroid of all times.

         The greatest thing about this drug is its efficiency; a small dose of 200-400mg per week is enough to give the desired results. The compound is called a bulking agent, due to the fast results it shows.

         Normally, a user on Deca starts experiencing weight gain within 24 to 36 hours. The mass gain can be as high as 20 pounds in just one month, not to forget the extreme physical strength achieved. Due to this and many other reasons, Deca is used by body builders across the world.

         Mode of Operation: The secret of Deca's fast results lies in its chemical structure.   Its chemical composition is very similar to testosterone.  However, unlike testosterone, Deca is not broken down into lower metabolite.  This metabolite has far lesser side effects than any other anabolic steroid.

         Advantages:  Following are few of the many advantages of Deca over other steroids:

�        Retains nitrogen in the body, resulting in muscular growth.
�        Deca is silent in skin, scalp and prostate; therefore, those parts are completely safe from any side effect.
�        It binds better with the muscle tissues. This results in a faster muscular growth than usual.
�        It has few androgenic effects on the body.
�         Very little side effects and in case adverse side effects occur they aren't very harsh.   Although, it is said that adverse effects do not occur unless the steroid is misused.
�        Increase in lean body weight with little dosage.
�        Stays in the body over an administrable amount, for a year or so.
�        Beneficial for body's defense mechanism.
�        During HIV, it helps weak patients gain the required amount of weight quickly.
�        Increases stamina and endurance.
�        Equally good for both men and women.

         Disadvantages:   Apart from all the pros of Deca, it has a number of mild side effects:

�        Acne
�        High Blood pressure
�        Headache
�        Nausea
�        Peptic ulcer
�        Edema
�        Insomnia
�        Hyper excitation
�        Longer time needed for blood clot
�        Shivering
�        Diarrhea

         All in all, Deca is an extremely powerful anabolic steroid, but it can also quickly shut down your natural testosterone production. For this reason Deca should mainly be used as a �secret weapon�  to burst past plateaus that have been difficult to overcome.

Boldenone

         Boldenone is an anabolic steroid sold under a variety of names like Equipoise, Ganabol and Ultragan. It is a man-made steroid having structure similar to natural testosterone.

         The drug was initially manufactured to be used for veterinary purposes. It was used to increase the efficiency of race horses by enhancing their appetite and body muscles.

How the drug suddenly became popular amongst body builders is not known, but the drug is widely used by athletes due to its various advantages.
         At a low dose, boldenone is a powerful anabolic agent, used to increase muscular mass when combined with a rich healthy diet.

         However, at extremely high dose, the drug can have some pronounced side effects. It can lead to the suppression of natural testosterone production and hence leads to infertility. Further, inside the body, boldenone is converted into estrogen which causes gynecomastia in male.

         Being anabolic in nature, the drug encourages protein synthesis and mineral nutrients balance within the body.

         The drug has a well known effect of increasing the RBC (Red blood cell) count. This boost in RBCs results in an increase in the rate with which oxygen is carried to the body tissues.

         Due to its long half life, the drug stays in the body for as long as a year.

         Boldenone is known to have a slow and steady response. The drug takes its time, around 2-4 months, to show its effect.  The up side is that the muscular weight gained is long lasting and not just water mass.   It is pure muscular tissue.

         The exact amount of high or low dosage was never defined for human use. However, experimentations show that 200�800 mg/week of boldenone is sufficient.

Having some androgenic properties, the drug has a number of side effects:

�        A change from normal to oily skin; this is due to the oily texture of this drug when injected.
�        Oily skin is more likely to have acne problems.
�        Hair loss is often witnessed in people on high drug dosage.
�        Like any other anabolic drug, boldenone causes mood swings, mainly resulting in aggression and depression.
�        Hypertension due to increase in metabolic rate.
�        Drowsiness and nausea.
�        Liver cancer may result due to the increased liver functioning.

Testosterone E

Testosterone E or Testosterone Enanthate is an artificial supply of the hormone testosterone.

The drug is taken normally to increase the level of testosterone in the body and is usually the first steroid prescribed by physicians for those with low Test E levels.

         Testosterone E changes the appearance and size of the muscle tissues. Having androgenic properties, it protects the maintained build from getting broken down by the process of catabolism.

         Testosterone works by stimulating the muscle cells to store more protein in the body. This protein is later used for enhancement of muscle fibers.

         The effect of testosterone is further seen in causing an increase in the production of red blood cells in the liver. This raise in RBCs increases body's endurance and helps it to recover faster from any physical exertion.

         Due to the powerful effects of this hormone, it should be taken once or at maximum, twice a month.

         Body builders take advantage of the anabolic characteristics of testosterone E, and commonly inject a sufficient dosage of about 200-400mg/month.

         The drug is usually taken off season as its half life is shorter than other anabolic drugs. The drug itself has slow response. It is often taken in combination with other drugs to enhance its effects and reduce the possible side effects.

A number of advantages of Testosterone E are:

�        Makes the person healthy and fresh
�        Enables the user to do more exercise
�        Provides nutrient balance
�        Increases muscular mass and results in fat loss
�        Increases endurance level and body strength and patience
�        Used to treat women breast cancer

         The drug itself comes with a number of disadvantages as well. These include gynecomastia, hair loss, acne, deepening of voice, nausea, jaundice, liver malfunctioning, anxiety and depression.

         To reduce the effects of gynecomastia, estrogen suppressant is taken along with testosterone E.  This drug helps in removing the effect of estrogen produced, when a high dose of testosterone E is taken.

         Special care should be taken by bodybuilders suffering from diabetes or having some cancer. It is not recommended for children, since it can cause puberty issues. For women, the drug can have adverse effects, like an increase in hair growth and deepening of voice. On the first sign of such effects, the drug should be immediately stopped.

Trenbolone A

         Trenbolone acetate or Trenbolone A is a dream drug for bodybuilders. It is an anabolic drug which can either be injected or taken as pills. Claimed to be three times more powerful than testosterone, it does not get aromatized like other steroids.
