Winstrol – Stanozolol is a very commonly used anabolic steroid for cutting cycles. While many people will attempt to use Dianabol or even Anadrol for cutting cycles, Ive really never heard of anyone using Stanozolol for anything except a cutting cycle. Its a bit of a one-trick-pony in this respect. Let me repeat that: Stanozolol is a cutting drug. Not many people will argue for its use in a bulking cycle. Its certainly not a very effective compound for treating anemia (1) and thus, one could rightly assume that its role in bulking cycles is very limited. One novel use for Winstrol in any cycle (perhaps even bulking) would be to use it at a very limited dose, in order to lower SHBG. (2) One of the properties of Winstrol is its profound ability to lower SHBG much more than other steroids. A dose of .2mg/kg lowered SHBG significantly, which would in turn, raise the amount of free testosterone circulating in the body. As with 99% of steroids, however, its important to note that suppression of your natural hormonal levels will occur (though perhaps not to the extent that it will with many other steroids).(10) As with running virtually any compound, testosterone supplementation (i.e. running test in a cycle containing Winstrol) is warranted to avoid possible sexual dysfunction.
I ran Winstrol for about 3 months (12 weeks) at a dose of 100mgs Every Other Day (along with Test prop at 125mgs, every other day) and I suffered no ill-effects. My joints felt fine, and I can say that the only thing which was undesirable about that cycle was the injection pain. Generally, people report a “dry” and less lubricated feeling in their joints when on this drug (fluid retention is nil with Stanozolol), and also a “dry” overall look as regards contest prep. This could be due to a sort of “reverse-osmotic” effect…of course this is speculation, but people do look “dryer” on Winnie, and some even look dryer in the site they inject (more on this later). There are many conflicting reports on tendon strength and Stanozolol, even in medical journals. Some reports state that it weakens tendons, others that it strengthens them (and some speculation on the internet among many “gurus” is that it strengthens them unevenly, leading to possible injury). For this reason, it may be best for athletes in explosive or high-impact sports to stay away from this drug. It has certainly been shown to be beneficial in some bone ailments induced by glucocorticoid induced stress (5) as well as having collagen producing properties (11), but with all of the anecdotal problems athletes have suffered with their joints while on Stanozolol, I simply can not recommend it with confidence to strength/speed athletes. I can say that personally, it was an effective compound for me and did not cause joint duress, but I can do without the discomfort of the shots, and have found other DHT based compounds to be far more effective (Masteron springs to mind).
As previously stated, this compound is unique, as it is available in both an oral form as well as an injectable form. Both forms contain the exact same compound, but injecting this compound (and yes, you can drink the injectable version, and no you shouldn’t) is superior to ingesting it orally in terms of nitrogen retention (6), and thus one would also imagine, for overall anabolism. Injecting it also has the advantage of avoiding the “first pass” through your liver, and thus places your liver under less stress.
Adding it to a heavy bulking cycle could be problematic, as Stanozolol is a 17aa compound, meaning that its been altered to endure the first pass through your liver without being destroyed. This makes it an orally active compound; so many people choose to take the pills which are available from both legitimate pharmaceutical companies as well as Underground Labs. Unfortunately, since it is 17aa, it is also liver toxic& in fact; Stanozolol has one of the worst hepatoxicity (mg for mg) of any steroid.
This is the reason its addition to a bulking cycle could be problematic; generally a bulking cycle will be very heavy, dosage wise as well as toxicity-wise. It also has undesirable results on Cholesterol, and a mere 6mgs/day of Stanozolol can lower HDL by 33% and raise LDL by 29% (3). Cardiac Hypertrophy, even at lower doses could be a concern with Winstrol as well (4) Thus, many people limit their intake of Stanozolol to precontest or Summer-cutting types of cycles. Its generally accepted that due to the toxicity issues of Stanozolol, its use should be limited to 6 weeks& as with anything though, many people have run it for up to 12 weeks with no problems.
Winstrol (Stanozolol) is one of the more popular anabolic steroids of all time. Well-suited for the dieting athlete or contest bodybuilder during his actual contest prep Winstrol is perhaps best known for its ability to increase athletic performance by way of strength and speed. All-in-all we have a fine anabolic steroid, while it has very little use in a bulking cycle a good Winstrol cycle can do wonders for a physique both visually and physically. Further and important interest, a Winstrol cycle is not only useful to men but it can be very useful to women as well; in-fact, this is one of the few anabolic steroids many women can tolerate quite well when used responsibly.
Winstrol Cycle Injectable or Oral Tablets:
As you are aware Winstrol comes in both an injectable and oral tablet form; the tablet form known simply as Winstrol and the injectable solution as Winstrol Depot. In either case you have the same hormone, Stanozolol and 1mg of either form is simply 1mg of Stanozolol. This is one of the few steroids that is available in both oral tablet and injectable form where both are nearly equally as powerful and effective. For some who plan out their Winstrol cycle they will always choose the Depot form for it is true, the potency is slightly stronger but were talking about a negligible amount. Some bodybuilders have reported harder physiques when the Depot form is injected but this could be a mental factor as there is not enough strong evidence beyond this simple testimony to lend to this being fact. In the end, when planning a Winstrol cycle simply go with the form you get the best deal on and know is 100% assured pure Stanozolol.
Female Winstrol Cycle:
As alluded to above, Stanozolol is one of the few anabolic steroids that can be tolerated fairly well by many women; no, there is no guarantee but if the dose is kept low the odds are in your favor. Some women even at a low dose will experience virilization symptoms and if this occurs simply discontinue use and the problem is solved; its when you ignore the symptoms and let them set in that real problems occur.
Many women, from track and field to bodybuilding and even fitness and figure have planned and completed numerous Winstrol cycles and for many it remains a staple. For the strong majority of women who run Winstrol cycles oral tablets will be used. Stanozolol tablets are generally found in 10mg and 50mg strength with 10mg every other day generally being the optimal female beginning dose. While 10mg every other day is a good starting point some women will find a daily dosing to be needed; assuming they can handle it without virilization. Beyond 10mg per day you really open the door to some possible harsh affects and when any woman plans a Winstrol cycle we cannot advise going above the 10mg mark.
Male Winstrol Cycle:
In most cases a good Winstrol cycle will run for approximately 6-8 weeks at a dosing of 50mg every day. Some will find 50mg every other day to be all they need but as this anabolic steroid has a very short half-life, especially in tablet form daily administration is generally best. 50mg per day appears to be perfect for most any man regardless of his level of experience and we do not recommend going beyond the 8 week mark as this steroid is rather liver toxic. Winstrol is one of the more hepatic anabolic steroids we will ever use but thankfully if used responsibly the liver will return to normal values very quickly after use has been discontinued. The only exception we might make regarding the dose of a Winstrol cycle is for the competitive bodybuilder towards the very end of his contest prep cycle. Many bodybuilders find 100mg per day the last 10-14 days before a show to be very useful in-terms of really hardening them up before they step on stage; however, 14 days is the maximum recommended duration for such a dose due to the toxicity of this steroid.
