Enanthat 250 by Dragon Pharma


Enanthat 250 by Dragon Pharma is an injectable steroid which contains 250mg per ML of the hormone Testosterone Enanthate.

The Enathate ester of this drug makes its release into slow and therefore is requires injections to be less frequent than they would be if a bodybuilder using Propionate.

Testosterone is the most common anabolic hormone that there is and is also considered the most basic. Due to this, bodybuilders often consider it the base steroid to most all cycles. Testosterone is both anabolic and androgenic in nature. Users of this steroid will notice a dramatic gain in muscle size and strength, as well as an overall sense of well being and increases libido and sex drive.

Testosterone aromatizes very easily and therefore estrogen buildup and side effects can become an issue for users sensitive to these problems or those choosing to use a high dose of this compound. Therefore, when using Testosterone, bodybuilders often choose in incorporate an anti-estrogen such as Anastrozole, Proviron, Tamoxifen to help keep estrogen related side effects to a minimum. Extremely sensitive users, or users using very high doses (800-1200mgs) might find that stronger anti-estrogens such as Letrozole or Exemestane are more suitable. Androgenic side effects such as oily skin are also possible while taking Testosterone.

Bodybuilders looking to bulk up, often stack Testosterone Enanthate with other steroids such as Nandrolone Decanoate and/or Boldenone, along with an oral compound such as Dianabol or Oxymetholone. Those Bodybuilders looking to use testosterone during cutting phase, might wish to stack it with compounds such as Trenbolone, along with an oral like Stanozolole or Oxandrolone.

Testosterone use will quickly shut down the body's natural production of the hormone, thus making a proper PCT plan essential for restoring the body's natural function and maintaining gains as best as possible after use of the steroid has been discontinued. At cycle's end, bodybuilders often choose to use a combination of Clomid, Tamoxifen, and HCG for a period of 3-4wks in order to restore pituitary gland and testes operation quickly and effectively.

Woman bodybuilders often use testosterone to build mass, although of course the dosage is significantly less than what males would use due to the possibility of masculizing side effects.

The male bodybuilder's dosage of this steroid would typically be in 500-1250mg per week range and cycle duration would be from 8-20 weeks, depending of course on the goals of the athlete. Women typically see desirable results from doses of 50-100mgs per week.

Exemestane makes you slimmer and more muscular



Exemestane, the active ingredient in Pfizer’s Aromasin,  truly is a body recompositioning drug. At least it is if you’re prepared to accept the results of an Italian study in which 33 women used exemestane for a period of 2 years.

Exemestane is an aromatase inhibitor with a steroid skeleton. Apart from the ethyl group on C6, the compound bears a striking resemblance to Boldenone. If the enzyme aromatase – which converts androstenedione and testosterone into estradiol – tries to provide exemestane with an aromatic ring, it gets so stuck that it breaks down. This is how exemestane lowers oestrogen levels.

Once women with an estradiol-sensitive form of cancer have undergone chemotherapy, an operation and radiation therapy, they usually take anti-oestrogens for five years after that. Most take nolvadex for a couple of years and then go over to an anti-oestrogen like anastrazole or exemestane. Little is known about the long-term effects of exemestane, hence the Italian research.

The researchers monitored 68 older women for 2 years. All the women had already been taking 20 mg nolvadex daily for 2-3 years. Half of them continued with this and the other half started taking 25 mg exemestane per day instead.

The exemestane group built up lean body mass. In the two years that the trial lasted the women in that group gained an average of 2.2 kg lean body mass. And the same group lost an average of 0.7 kg fat.

The triglyceride levels in the blood of the women in the exemestane group went down – a positive development. At the same time exemestane increased the levels of LDL [bad cholesterol] and reduced the concentration of HDL [good cholesterol] – a negative development.

American cancer researchers have offered an explanation of how exemestane might cause these effects. Exemestane itself has almost no androgenic effect, but the researchers announced in 2007 that an exemestane metabolite – the 17beta-hydroxy analogue – is capable of interacting with the androgen receptor.

This means that women should consider carefully whether to use exemestane or not. It also means that exemestane is now of interest to chemical athletes with modest aims.

If men take 25 mg exemestane daily their testosterone level rises by a third, researchers at Farmitalia discovered in the 1980s.

So what would happen if you got men to take 25 mg or 50 mg exemestane daily for a year? And if those men were to do weight training as well?

Women and Trenbolone Use


Trenbolone is one of the most por drugs used by bodybuilders today and, when you look at the stats, it is not hard to see why. A very potent androgen with strong anabolic activity, Trenbolone is an extremely effective hardening and cutting agent. In fact, it is considered indispensable when it comes to pre contest preparation. However, it is also extremely valuable in the off-season as it creates a rapid build up of strength and muscle mass. In fact, the anabolic effect is often compared to testosterone or Dianabol with one very important difference - it does not convert to estrogen. This is what truly sets it apart, as most mass building drugs readily aromatize, leading to many estrogen related problems (e.g. water retention gynecomastia).

Due to the lack of water retention, the gains when using this drug are more easily maintained on discontinuing its use. In addition to this, a very hard and defined appearance can be achieved. Also, since gynecomastia is not an issue, there should not be any need to add an anti-estrogen as long as Trenbolone is the only steroid being used. Due to the highly androgenic nature of this drug an increase in the burning of body fat is observed and a much tighter physique can be achieved without having to resort to extreme dieting.

Trenbolone is more potent than testosterone with an effect being gauged as three times as strong on a milligram for milligram basis. It is also four times as anabolic as Deca-Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - Durabolin and ten times as androgenic. This makes the majority of the weight gained on this drug lean, quality muscle. Trenbolone also creates an increase in the levels of the hormone IGF-1 (Insulin like Growth Factor-1) which is highly anabolic within muscle tissue. Trenbolone has a stronger binding affinity to the androgen receptor than testosterone. This feature is a major contributing factor to the process of anabolism and fat loss. By promoting nitrogen retention and protein synthesis within the muscle Trenbolone allows the food you eat and the nutritional supplements you take to be used more effectively. It also reduces levels of the catabolic hormone cortisol. Trenbolone is also involved in the production of red blood cells and increases the rate of glycogen replenishment (both of which contribute not only to stamina but also to recovery from workouts)

A reduction in aerobic capacity is the most common complaint with Trenbolone. This is thought to be caused by bronchial dilation resulting from an increase in prostaglandin production. The condition known as "trenbolone Cough" is often a complaint registered with users of the Acetate version (Trenbolone is available in Acetate and Enanthate forms). Androgenic side effects may also be experienced which include oily skin, aggressive behavior, and acne and hair loss. For this reason women are usually advised to stay away from this drug.

It seems that although women are generally told to avoid using this drug, Trenbolone is being used more and more by women in controlled doses. The fact that it adds primarily lean mass whilst reducing body fat is obviously a key factor in its attractiveness. When women were asked for their feedback on Trenbolone use a variety of favored dosages came up. Anything from a very conservative 10mg every other day to a more adventurous 100mg/week split into two doses.

Stacking Trenbolone with Testosterone Propionate was also something favored by those engaging in high level competition. Another use of Trenbolone involved taking it 3-4 days before a show in order to add hardness and definition to the physique. It has to be said that side effects were experienced by all - usually increased hair growth and acne - and the severity of the side effects seemed to be worse in younger women. The theory expressed here being that ovarian function may be the reason for this, with a younger woman still having stronger ovarian function than an older women who may be entering peri-menopause. This is all speculation of course but seems like a plausible explanation in my opinion. Either way, if you are considering using Trenbolone it is advised to use it on its own and at extremely low doses (such as the aforementioned 10mg every other day) in order to test your own unique sensitivity.

Trenbolone is a potent androgen that is primarily used in cattle, so there is even less information at our disposal on this compound or its effects on the female endocrine system than any other drug. It is the one drug that seems to produce results as significant as the side effects that are associated with it. Women are generally advised to stay clear of Trenbolone considering the strong androgenic component which eradicates any possibility of running Trenbolone without sides. The more seasoned female athlete will run it in the off season in order to reap the muscle building benefits of the drug whilst maintaining a relatively low body fat. On the other hand running it during contest preparation will preserve the newly added muscle mass while on a calorie restricted diet. The less daring athlete will run Trenbolone during the last few weeks of contest preparation or even limit their use to the week before the show - with a more frequent injection schedule.

Women who have experienced less favorable side effects on Trenbolone report experiencing tachycardia from a single pin, accompanied by profuse night sweats and insomnia bad enough to bail on the cycle. Others experience rapid hair growth with more frequent shaving (side effects that are far from unmanageable).

Quite honestly, Trenbolone dosing is dependent on how much a woman is willing to deal with in terms of sides. There is no conservative dose for a first timer with Trenbolone being far better suited for the educated, experienced and seasoned athlete who has paid her dues.

It is also important to note that Trenbolone lowers TSH levels so running T3 in conjunction with it is highly advisable, as well as an anti-prolactin such as Dostinex at 0.5mg every third day or 5mg of Bromocriptine daily to keep prolactin levels in check.

GP Stan 50 (Winstrol tabs) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals


GP Stan 50 by Geneza Pharmaceuticals is an oral steroid which contains 50mgs of the hormone stanozolol.

This is the same substance that is suspended in water in GP Stan 50 inj.. The oral preparation of this substance allows bodybuilders to avoid the discomfort of everyday injections which are the normally the protocol with the injectable version. Due to the fact that taking this product with food can cause absorbtion problems, it is recommended that one take GP Stan 50 on an empty stomach for best results. Some bodybuilders also choose to split up their dosage of GP Stan 50 throughout the day in an effort to keep blood levels as consistent as possible.

Winstrol , as it is most popular referred to, is one of the most popular steroids in use today. This drug has very low androgenic properties and very high anabolic properties. GP Stan 50 does not have the ability to aromatize and therefore will not cause any water bloat. This has made this steroid very popular with bodybuilders in the cutting phase of their training.

Users of winstrol often report good gains in strength, vascularity, and muscle tone. People often report very intense muscle "pumps" during workouts when using this compound. This can be attributed to the dynamic protein synthesis and nitrogen retention brought about by the use of this steroid. Some studies have also shown that winstrol has estrogen and progesterone blocking abilities, making it a good choice to use with other steroids such as Testosterone , Deca or Trenbolone.

Winstrol also does a very good job of reducing the amount of SHBG in the body, thus allowing other steroids to be much more abundant in their free state in the body. Due to this fact, GP Stan 10 makes a great addition to all cycles. Winstrol is a C17-alpha alkylated compound, and therefore can be toxic to the liver over time. Because of this, it is recommended that bodybuilders using this compound try to keep dosage in a reasonable range and limit cycle duration to 10wks. There are also several liver protectants and detoxifiers available which should be considered when doing a cycle of this steroid.

Due to its low androgenic activity, GP Stan 50 is a very good choice for women bodybuilders. Males typically use GP Stan 50 in dosages of 40-100mgs a day for a period of 6-8 weeks. 5-10mg a day for a period of 4-6 weeks is the normal dosage range for women.

Recommended Recovery Time Between Anabolic Steroid Cycles


The first factor is that recovery of the HPTA (hypothalamus, pituitary, and testicular axis) from one cycle should always occur fully before starting the next.

Where an anabolic steroid cycle is very short, such as only 2 weeks, steroid cycle recovery can be almost immediate. Well-planned, moderate length steroid cycles, such as only 8 weeks, often allow recovery in a time frame such as only 2 weeks. Long steroid cycles, such as 12 weeks or longer and especially 14 weeks or longer, or poorly planned cycles often have very protracted recoveries.

So first, regardless of what is written below with regard to timing, you should wait until natural testosterone production, without aid of any drug, is back to midnormal levels or better.

Other than this, the time between steroid cycles should be related to duration of anabolic steroid use, including time of clearance after the last injection. Another way of looking at that is the balance between the number of weeks that anabolic steroids are used versus the number of weeks that no steroid is being used.

There really are no black/white cutoff values that anyone can give. Time off versus time on is a gradually sliding scale.

Broadly speaking, I put it this way though: Being “off” twice as many weeks as being “on” is entirely conservative for most who are seeking to build muscle, and absolutely can give great results. Really the only reason to be more conservative than this is if wishing only to maintain. Being “off” about as many weeks as being “on” is moderately aggressive. When the cycles are well-planned, there’s generally no problem with this and, of course, this can give somewhat faster results than the above. And being “off” only half as many weeks as being “on” is about as aggressive as I recommend for the health conscious person. Proper recovery should of course be verified, and blood tests become more important at this frequency of use.

So there’s no one answer, but the above general description has over time proven helpful for many to decide where they wanted to be.
