One
of the most popular and widely recognized performance enhancing drugs in the
world of bodybuilding, Winstrol or Stanozolol is best known as a fat loss drug
that promotes lean muscle mass and strength gains in a short span of time.
Classified
as a controlled substance under the U.S. Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990
and assigned to Schedule III, this derivative of Dihydrotestosterone can
minimize sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in the body that binds with sex
hormones for creating a positive and synergetic effect with other anabolic
steroids used in an anabolic steroid cycle.
Winstrol
is an excellent choice for competitive bodybuilders and athletes who want to gain
lean muscle mass and lose fat & weight at the same time. Moreover, Winstrol
can dramatically enhance cholesterol levels and stimulate immediate-early gene
expression in a manner independent of the androgen receptor. It may also be
used as a diuretic as Winstrol can improve excretion of water from the body
without resulting in an increase in the level of body weight. In addition to
these advantages, Winstrol can allow athletes to utilize enhanced quantity of
Testosterone to burn excess fat tissues. The process of fat burning is also
enhanced by Winny as it can stimulate the production of prostaglandin E2 and
the matrix metalloproteases collegenase and stromelysin in skin fibroblasts.
Winstrol
is ideally used by elite male athletes in doses of 25-100mg every day and
5-15mg every day by female athletes, for a cycle that does not exceed 8-10
weeks at a stretch. This is because use of Winstrol for duration beyond ten
weeks may make the body immune to the action mechanism and functioning of this
drug. It is best to stack Winstrol with Testosterone, Dianabol, or Anadrol
during a bulking cycle or with Trenbolone or Halotestin during a dieting phase.
A small majority of athletes even use Winstrol with Equipoise, Deca Durabolin,
or Primobolan.
