What is Sustanon?
Sustanon
is an oil-based injectable multi-ester blend anabolic androgenic
steroid.
It is made up of four different
testosterone esters namely testosterone propionate, testosterone
phenylpropionate, testosterone isocoproate and testosterone decanoate.
How much Sustanon to take for good results?
Sustanon
is often administered weekly at doses between 250 to 1000 mg. Even with
a minimum dose of 250 mg a week, you can expect increase in mass and
weight of around 20 pounds after a few months of use.
Doses more than 1000 mg can
already lead to several side effects.
What to take with Sustanon to limit side effects?
Sustanon
is known to cause several estrogen-related side effects such as water
retention, bloating, increased storage of fat and development of
gynecomastia. In order to limit these effects, estrogen receptor
modulators or anti-estrogen can be taken. Examples of this are
tamoxifen (
Nolvadex)
and mesterolone (
Proviron).
Sustanon also exhibits a negative feedback mechanism on the HPTA and
this leads to the suppression of normal testosterone production.
Decrease in endogenous testosterone levels can lead to decrease libido
and problems with spermatogenesis. Post-cycle courses of testosterone
stimulants such as
HCG
and clomiphene (
Clomid)
may be taken in order to return hormone levels to pre-cycle values.
How to inject Sustanon?
Sustanon is injected
intramuscularly, usually through the buttocks, lateral side of your
thigh or the deltoid region of your arm. The shot must go through your
skin and subcutaneous tissues in order to reach the muscle itself. In
order to do this, pinch a fairly thick area of skin and underlying mass
on the said area then insert the needle while holding your syringe at a
90 degree angle. Retract the plunger to see if you hit any
blood vessels. If you don't draw any blood, let go of the area you are
pinching and proceed with injecting the steroid. The best site for
injections with steroids is on the upper outer quadrant of your
buttocks since it only has a few nerves and it is thick.
After 8 weeks of Sustanon 250 at 500mg a week, what results
will I get?
You can expect a gain of 20 pounds from muscle increase during your
first month of
Sustanon
use. As for the rest of the cycle, it would highly depend on
your diet and workout regimens. If you maintain a high protein, low fat
and low carbohydrate diet, you will be able to gain more muscle weight
and shed off fat in a few weeks.
How often should Sustanon be used?
Sustanon
stays active for up to a month once it has been administered.
However, in order to maintain and
keep testosterone levels stable, it should be injected at a minimum of
once every other week to once a week.
