There are two
preparations of
Winstrol
in the market
oral
Winstrol and Winstrol Depot or injectable Winstrol. While
there is no single way of
how
to take Winstrol, there are some basic recommendations and
several suggestions from veteran users of anabolic androgenic
steroids.
Bodybuilders have different opinions on how to take Winstrol orally.
Some think that it's better to divide the daily dose into two while
others prefer a "one time big time" approach. Generally, however, it is
recommended that about 10 to 25 mg of
oral
Winstrol is taken every day in a usual cycle that lasts about
3 to 4 weeks. There are only a handful of individuals who follow this
though. There have been many debates on how to take Winstrol at higher
doses and many bodybuilders rationalize that if it the only oral drug
that you plan on taking, then it would be okay to exceed a daily dose
of 25 mg. Some advanced users
take
oral Winstrol to as much as 50 mg daily for as long as 7
weeks without causing any significant liver damage. Of course, taking
Winstrol with other heavy orals is another story. As we all know,
Winstrol
is liver toxic because of its 17-alpha alkylated alteration. Other oral
steroids can be as dangerous to the liver or even more dangerous as
well. So does this mean that you can't take oral Winstrol with other
oral steroids? Not necessarily. While it is being done by many
bodybuilders, how to take Winstrol orally with other heavy orals is
still a big concern for first time users or those who often use milder
injectable steroids. Here are some pointers on how to take
Winstrol
in oral stacks while minimizing potential liver damage:
First of all, you can choose to do an alternating oral cycle. If you
are wondering how to take
Winstrol
with
Dianabol
(which is also a 17-alpha alkylated compound), for example, you can opt
to schedule about 30 to 50 mg of
Dianabol
during weeks 1 to 4 then take 50 mg of oral Winstrol for the next four
weeks. The rationale is that at least your liver won't have to handle
metabolizing both steroids at the same time. This alternating effect
also allows you to bulk with Dianabol then cut with
Winstrol
too. A second reminder on how to take Winstrol with another heavy oral
is to actually try and help the liver by eating healthy and by avoiding
other potential environmental sources of organ damage. Whole food,
complex carbohydrates and a low fat diet are all pro-liver. Exposure to
paints, insect repellants, pesticides and aerosol cleaners can disrupt
the normal biochemical processes of the liver so it would be best to
avoid these. Finally, and most importantly, you may also choose to take
several pro-liver supplements. Antioxidant vitamins C and E, and zinc
and selenium minerals can protect the liver from damage from free
radicals. Some bodybuilders also advice taking milk thistle and liver
detoxification formulations in order to support this organ when taking
heavy orals.
How to take
Winstrol
through injections is mainly different from taking the oral one
because, obviously, you would have to administer it through a needle.
Winstrol is injected
at a recommended dose of 25 to 50 mg every day. That is a whole lot of
injections throughout the cycle and you would have to find different
injection sites each time in order to prevent inflammation and sore
spots. Now, how to take Winstrol injections is basically the same as
injecting with other steroids. Whether oil-based or water-based,
Winstrol is administered through the intramuscular route. This means
that you would have to get your dose through your skin, through the
underlying subcutaneous layer and directly into the muscles. You
basically do this by pinching a large area of your skin and some
underlying mass then inserting a needle at a perpendicular (90 degree)
angle at the highest point. Let go of the area, check if you had hit a
blood vessel and if not, and push the plunger in a moderate rate. The
needle gauge commonly used is between gauges 21 to 23. You actually
have to check if you had punctured a blood vessel since you wouldn't
want your injection to be intravenous (through the veins) and not
intramuscular. You can do this by retracting the needle and, if you
draw some blood, then yes, you have hit a vessel. You can easy withdraw
the needle and try again in another area. Intramuscular injections are
commonly done in the deltoid areas, the lateral side of the thighs and
the upper, outer quadrants of the buttocks. Many bodybuilders choose
injecting on the buttocks since there are less nerve endings there
(meaning that it won't be as painful) and there is a thick layer of
tissues (meaning that you have less chances of hitting any other
structures).
While you are still pondering on how to take Winstrol and if you are
going to take it orally or through injection, or if alone or in a
stack, there are some basic reminders that you have to be aware of.
Oral and injectable Winstrol are
chemically identical and both are 17-alpha alkylated
compounds. They are, therefore, both hepatotoxic with the oral one
during the first pass on the liver and the injectable one on the second
pass. Most claim, however, that the injectable Winstrol is still less
hepatotoxic than the oral one. Either way, both should be used with
caution.
If you are a girl and wondering how to take Winstrol or if it is even
possible for you to take one, then yes, you should know that it is.
Women usually stick to a minimal dose of 5 to 10 mg of Winstrol
everyday and those who have used this dose attest to having
virilization-free cycles.
Are you wondering
how to
take Winstrol while minimizing side effects other than
those mentioned above? Well, if you are using
Winstrol
with highly aromatizing steroids such as testosterone and Dianabol, you
should always have
Nolvadex
or
Arimidex
at hand in case some estrogen-related gynecomastia comes into play. It
is best to remedy this early rather than wait for the abnormal breast
tissues to fully develop. Finally, no matter what advice you have read
on
how to take Winstrol,
it is always best to stick with the recommended 8 week limit. Maybe
some advanced bodybuilders would tell you that they took the steroid
beyond that and didn't have any side effects. True, but Winstrol, as
well as any other drug, would affect individuals differently and those
users could have just been lucky. Remember, liver damage is not
something that you can easily (or cheaply) reverse. Use your Winstrol
wisely and you will not only have the physique you have dreamed for but
also a healthy happy liver to go along with it.
