What is Winstrol 25?
Winstrol 25 is a milder version of its big brother; Winstrol 50. It contains the active ingredient Stanozolol (25 mg) is considered an androgen and anabolic steroid medication. It is famous for its anti-estrogenic and antiprogestin effect. Winstrol is a rather unusual steroid, which, however, is suitable for drying rather than for building muscle mass (for this purpose it must be combined on cycle with other steroids).
Winstrol contributes to the formation of hardness, bringing the muscles to a beautiful, venous definition. It is believed that it can be an alternative to such steroid as Anavar 50, which has similar properties and steroid profile. This drug can be recommended to beginners whose goal is to achieve dryness and relief, provided by sufficient muscle mass.
How is Winstrol 25 used?
It is actively used not only in bodybuilding, but also in other sports disciplines, when an athlete is faced with the task of improving speed-strength performance while maintaining the current body weight. So, it may be relevant among MMA fighters, athletes, boxers, wrestlers, etc.
A significant advantage of this steroid is its lack of aromatization, and as a result you avoid adverse reactions such as gynecomastia, water retention, high blood pressure. This is due to the fact that Stanozolol is a derivative of DHT. Moreover, it is believed that, on the contrary, the described steroid itself has some anti-estrogenic and anti-progestogenic activity. Such features make it ideal for combination with Testosterone, Nandrolone and Trenbolone.
If this steroid is taken for sporting purposes, then usually the dosage is 25 to 50 milligrams every other day. Bodybuilders usually stop at 50 milligrams. If we talk about the cycle for burning fat, then the dosage is usually 100 milligrams per day. For such purposes, this steroid is taken several weeks before the start of the competition. If you take Winstrol in such doses for more than 1 – 2 weeks, it will cause a very strong and negative load on the liver.
Women, as a rule, take it by 5 milligrams daily. Some athletes increase this dosage to 10 milligrams if there is no risk of virilization. It is better for women to give preference to the oral option, because it is much easier to comply with the necessary dosage. If you choose an oral steroid, you will not lose anything, because both types of the drug act on the body in exactly the same way.
Adverse effects
There are a number of side effects about the manifestation of which a person who starts a cycle with this steroid must know. You can not call it a very harmful and dangerous anabolic. However, if Winstrol is used incorrectly, there is a risk of developing some negative manifestations. Most side effects are directly related to the genetic characteristics of the athlete’s body. After all, some people are always easier to tolerate steroid medication than other consumers of this product. It all depends on the genetic predisposition and the individual characteristics of your body, and this scheme works not only with Winstrol, but also with other drugs of a similar profile. In order for you to be familiar with all the side effects that are possible while taking this drug, we have divided them into several thematic groups.
Estrogenic
Winstrol does not aromatize in the body, because it does not have a progestin-like nature. Therefore, such side effects as gynecomastia and water retention are simply impossible.
Androgenic
Manifestation of side effects of androgenic nature is really possible and it depends on the genetic predisposition of the person. For example, such a side effect as baldness is quite possible while taking Winstrol. However, it will manifest itself only in those men who were originally prone to baldness. A similar situation with the manifestation of acne, which will manifest itself only in those athletes who have a genetic predisposition to this phenomenon. Of course, there are exceptions to any rule, but in this case they are not very common. If acne makes itself felt, they tend to appear on the back, shoulders and chest. In order to protect yourself from such a negative side effect, try to keep your skin always dry and clean. Especially closely monitor the condition of the skin during the training process. As soon as you sweat, you must immediately take a shower and change your T-shirt.
It is important to note that the use of a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor on the course in order to combat androgenic side effects, in the case of Winstrol, is absolutely pointless. Drugs such as inhibitors work by acting on testosterone and lowering it to DHT levels. In the case of Winstrol, its testosterone level is already equated to DHT, so the inhibitor will not give any positive effect.
Androgenic side effects of Winstrol may also include manifestation of virilization. These side effects include:
- Coarseness of voice
- Male type hair growth
- Increase clitoral size
Some women may take stanozolol in small doses and not feel the manifestation of such negative manifestations. This drug can not be called the most acceptable for women, but compared to other anabolic hormones, it is very harmless. If on the course of this steroid the athlete began to display virilization, the drug should be stopped immediately. Then all side effects will quickly disappear. But if you ignore this process and continue to use this steroid, it is likely that the above side effects will remain forever.
Cardiovascular System
Side effects from the cardiovascular system are most likely on Winstrol cycle and are really quite dangerous for human health. This steroid is known for its ability to influence the cholesterol balance and shift it towards bad cholesterol. This side effect is inherent in most oral anabolic steroids. . Winstrol is available both orally and by injection. But in both cases it is a drug that contains in its composition an alkylated element 17 – alpha, which has a rather negative effect on the cardiovascular system.
Winstrol can be used by those athletes who, prior to the course of the drug, had no problems with the work of the cardiovascular system and the cholesterol balance. During its period of use, a person must monitor the level of their cholesterol and observe a healthy lifestyle. It is very important to follow the appropriate diet. Your diet should be rich in saturated folic acid, but the consumption of saturated fat and simple carbohydrates must be reduced. It is very important to carry out systematic cardio exercise. Without following these simple rules, taking this steroid is not desirable. Also, experts recommend to use antioxidant supplements.
Testosterone Suppression
Using Winstrol unequivocally suppresses the natural production of testosterone in the body, so during the cycle you should definitely take extra testosterone. If you do not do this, after a short period of time you will feel an acute shortage of this substance. It should be noted that it is possible to fill the lack of testosterone with absolutely any drug containing this substance.
At the end of the Winstrol cycle, when the breakdown products of the drug finally leave your body, natural testosterone production will be resumed. However, this process requires some time-consuming, therefore, experts recommend that athletes begin post-cycle therapy during this period. Such rehabilitation will help the body to quickly restore its natural functions and compensate for the lack of testosterone for the required period of time.
Very important moment! Women should not take extra testosterone while on the Winstrol course.
You should also remember that the natural recovery of testosterone production will occur only if a person had no problems in this area before the start of the cycle.
Hepatotoxicity
Winstrol, like all steroids that contain element 17 – alpha, is toxic to the liver. The negative impact of this drug on this organ is somewhat greater than that of Anavar and somewhat less than that of Dianabol.
The use of Winstrol will lead to the fact that the indicators of the main liver enzymes will be increased. Such an increase is a kind of indicator and indicates that a certain load is applied to the liver. This effect will be from the oral form of the steroid, and from the injection. It should be noted that the injectable version of Winstrol is one of the few anabolic drugs that are toxic to the liver. If you decide to take the course of this drug, you must adhere to the following rules:
- Stanozolol should not be used by athletes who have liver disease.
- On the course of the drug should avoid alcohol. It is best not to take it even in small doses.
- If there is such an opportunity, refuse to take medications, especially without a doctor’s prescription. The fact is that most drugs have a certain level of hepatoxicity, so it is better to avoid additional burden on the liver.
- The total duration of the course should not exceed 8 weeks. The next course cannot be started until all liver enzymes return to normal.
- It is recommended to supplement your cycle with various hepatoprotectors of plant origin.
Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT)
Although Winstrol belongs to the group of safe AAS, do not forget about the need for PCT. Use for this clomid or nolvadex
