How use Testosterone Enanthate or Primoteston in sports


Steroids were once viewed as a substance only being used by body builders, fitness fanatics and professional athletes, however, in the society of today, steroid use is becoming more commonplace. Testosterone is an anabolic steroid secreted by the testicles in a male, in the ovaries of women and in small amounts by the adrenal glands in both sexes.  In males, testosterone plays an integral role in overall health and accounts for the physical differences between genders.

For males, testosterone is responsible for virilization and androgenic qualities.  The anabolic effects of testosterone include muscle growth and strength, increase in bone density and stimulating linear growth and bone maturation.  The virilizing effects of testosterone in males includes maturation of the sex organs, deepening of the voice, the growth of facial hair and male secondary sexual characteristics.

How testosterone effects the female body is best witnessed in adulthood.  The hormone is responsible for clitoral enlargement, sex drive, mental and physical energy and plays a role in the fight-or-flight hormonal response regulation.

Testosterone can be labeled as the “impulse” hormone, and how it effects the body of a male versus a female differs dramatically.  Having a normal level of testosterone in the body is very important for the health, development and well-being of both males and females.

How Testosterone Builds Muscle:
There are many hormones that play an important part of how the body responds to exercise, increases strength and builds muscle tissue.  Testosterone is an anabolic steroidal hormone, the word “anabolic,” refers to the building up of body tissues.

Testosterone is the number one hormone used in the development of muscle and strength and through regular exercise, fine motor skills, fitness, muscle and bone strength and joint function increase.  The mechanism of action by which testosterone increases muscle mass is not well documented and further studies are ongoing.

Primotestone (Testosterone Enanthate) is an injectable steroid which first developed in the 1950s. Primoteston has a slow release mechanism allowing less frequent injections while the steroid remains active for between 2 and 3 weeks. Replacing Oreton (testosterone propionate), Primoteston has generally been used in the medical community for the treatment of delayed puberty as well as in androgen deficient patients. Testosterone Enanthate compounds have also been shown to be an effective male contraceptive, but it has not achieved popularity in this regard. Despite its age and unsophistication, especially when compared to newer products on the market, still remains one of the top bulking choices, particularly in the U.S., amongst those seeking performance enhancements. In fact, enanthate is the most popular ester of testosterone currently available.

Primoteston Effects: Like all testosterone based steroids, Primoteston aromatizes into estrogen which results in significant water retention. Although this artificially raises weight and hides muscles gains. It does, however, protects the muscles and the joints while the testosterone promotes muscle growth. These side effects can be mitigated with the use of an anti-estrogen but are generally only necessary when higher dosages are being administered. Gains with Testosterone Enanthate based compounds such as Primoteston are significant.

Because the body only naturally produces between 2.5 and 11 mg of testosterone per day, one can easily imagine the effects increasing that amount significantly could have. Primoteston functions by promoting nitrogen retention within the muscles which, in turn, allows more protein to be stored supporting more rapid tissue growth. It also increases production IGF-1, a naturally occurring anabolic in the body. Red blood cell levels should also increase while on Primoteston. This results in a higher VO2 max is possible. It also boosts recovery times, energy, and libido. Testosterone enanthate based compounds such as Primoteston are generally used for bulking although it can be effective while cutting provided the user is on a strict diet. Women are advised against using Primoteston due to its masculanizing effects.

Primoteston Dosage and Side Effects: Within the bodybuilding community, the standard injection dose is usually between 200 and 600mg once or twice weekly for 6-12 weeks. Higher doses than those specified are not uncommon with advanced bodybuilders but side effects will become much more pronounced as the dose is increased. Testosterone Enanthate compounds are also stackable and combines well with other steroids. As mentioned above, female body builders are advised against using Primoteston as it is difficult to maintain hormone levels and prevent virilization.

Side effects of Primoteston may include an increase in estrogen levels (resulting in gynecomastia at higher levels), water retention, body hair growth, acne, oily skin, testosterone suppression, increased aggression, male pattern hair loss, negatively affected cholesterol levels and a rise in blood pressure (albeit a significantly lower rise than with other steroids). Men who are predisposed to hair loss may wish to consider a less androgenic steroid. Many of these side effects can be effectively minimized, controlled and potentially avoided with proper supplements. Testosterone levels should return to their natural levels within approximately 1-4 months without any intervention or post-cycle therapy. Women, who are not recommended to take Testosterone based compounds, will be at risk of masculinization related effects. These consist of a deepening in their voice, body and facial hair growth, menstrual irregularities, and clitoral enlargement. In the event any of the aforementioned symptoms begin to manifest, women should cease use immediately to avoid permanent changes. Athletes using Primoteston are advised to use a step down routine after ending a cycle in order to reduce the possibility of a post-cycle crash. This may not be necessary for cycles less than 10 weeks.

Very powerful oral steroid GP Oxy

Anapolon (GP Oxy) is a very powerful oral steroid. It is considered by many bodybuilders to be the ultimate mass building drug. This remarkable ability to increase muscle mass comes at a price though and the main drawback of this steroid is the number and severity of side-effects associated with it. Just about every side-effect linked to steroid use is likely to be experienced while using this drug. The most severe in my opinion is Anapolon’s toxic effects on the liver. However, one has to take into account the dosage range for this drug. Anapolon is taken in dosages between 50 to 150mg per day, where many others like Dianabol and Winstrol are taken in dosages from 10 to 40mg per day. This makes a direct comparison impossible and it’s very likely that 150mg of Winstrol will be just as toxic if not more harmful.

The most common daily dose of Anapolon (GP Oxy) is 100mg, but even at that dosage side-effects like water-retention, elevated blood pressure, acne, hair loss, blood clotting changes, gynocomastia, liver toxicity and mood swings are very often reported. Using aromatase inhibitors to control estrogen aromatization will be ineffective as this drug does not directly convert into estrogen. It was suggested that oxymetholone can activate the estrogen receptor, similar to, but more profoundly than the estrogenic androgen methandriol. Supplements like Milk Thistle can be taken to help keep liver enzyme levels between safe ranges.

When used correctly and responsibly Anapolon (GP Oxy) makes a great addition to any bulking cycle. The best results are seen when Anapolon is stacked in conjunction with other injectable steroids. Anapolon makes a great kickstart to a bulking cycle and is normally used during the first 3 to 4 weeks of the cycle. Avoid using other oral steroids in the same stack, because when combined with other 17-alpha alkylated compounds the hepatotoxic effects will become impossible to control and serious liver damage may occur.

A dosage of 1-2mg per kilogram of body weight is a good starting place, however not recommend this drug to novice steroid users and they are better off looking into Dianabol as a kick start. A drop in weight is often experienced when the switch is made from the kick start phase to the remainder of the cycle, but this is likely to be water weight only and should not be of any concern.  It was designed to be a safe and mind anabolic steroid and in low doses was well tolerated by women and children. Oxandrolone is a Class I anabolic, mildly androgenic steroid, which makes it safe to use in many cases. This drug has been used for anything from, burn victims to treatment of osteoporosis as it provides calcium to the body which will aid in bone regeneration. However in 1989 this drug was discontinued by Searle Laboratories partly due to the illegal use among bodybuilders. Around 6 years later Bio-Technology General Corp negotiated a deal with Searle where they would continue to manufacture the drug Anavar and supply it to BTG. This is when a press release went out stating its effects on involuntary weight loss and focused itself on HIV/AID’s wasting indications which were approved by the FDA where they were able to dictate the price by it being granted Orphan Drug status by the Food and Drug Administration.

As stated in the history of Anavar it is a Class I anabolic steroid giving it mild anabolic and low androgenic properties. This drug is also a derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and this is where confusion comes into its effects. Due to it being a derivate of DHT this drug is already “5-alpha reduced”, meaning it is unable to react with this enzyme like the means of testosterone making it a more potent form of “di hydro”. There is no conversion from neurosteroid allopregnanolone (5AR type I) to DHT(5AR type II), so false claims of using Procepia (Finasteride) which inhibits 5AR type II or Dutasteride which inhibits both 5AR type I and type II would be completely ineffective. However if you are concerned about hair loss there have been reports that spironolactone, flutamide and nizorol shampoo may work.

Now that we have that out the way let’s talk about some of the positive effects and dosing of this drug. Dosage of Anavar for men is in the region of 40 to 100mg every day. The active life of this drug is around 9 hours so splitting your dose up during the day would be advised.

Anavar starts to work within minutes of digestion however people reported noticeable changes from day 3 where they reported larger pumps. As far as strength and vascularity this happens anywhere from day 8 to 14 of the cycle, the strength on this product is insane and increases every week. It is reported that Oxandrolone causes a strong strength gain by stimulating the phosphocreatine synthesis in the muscle cell without depositing water and I’m guessing this is why reports state adding creatine to your Anavar cycle could be favoured. Anavar has also being closed linked to fat loss, and in a study there were reports of reduction in abdominal and visceral fat in men, the other logical explanation is its appetite suppressant effects.

Anavar is pretty mild on the liver and even though it is a 17aa compound, meaning that it´s been altered to first pass through your liver without being destroyed, however Anavar is not primary metabolized by the liver like other 17-alpha alkylated orals. At higher doses however one can see an increase in liver enzyme values, these results return to normal after cessation of a moderate, short cycle.

As much as many researchers might claim that Anavar doesn’t supress your Hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPTA) it does. Research has shown a dose as low as 2.5mg a day can supress some. And because this product is suppressive, proper post cycle therapy (PCT) is a must. However a minimum of Clomid / Nolvadex would be required however Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or a synthetic version like Ovidrel would be desired. Dosage plays a large part in the effects this drug will have on your HPTA and sex drive and anywhere on the 40mg mark could tip either way.

Sustanon and Testosterone replacement therapy

Testosterone plays a big role in creating and maintaining the levels of supremacy, status, and power. This is not just because the primary male sex hormone is one of the biggest factors driving competitiveness in men, but also because it encourages men to gain and maintain power and amp; social status. However, some men may face deficiency of testosterone (low testosterone, low T, hypogonadism or andropause) as they age.

Low testosterone levels in men are characterized by signs and symptoms such as reduced sex drive, sperm production, bone density, red blood cell production, muscle mass, fat distribution, lethargy, energy levels, and body strength. A fall in testosterone would therefore mean weak bones, low energy, significant physical and emotional changes, increased fat tissue, increased risk of osteoporosis, constant fatigue, depression, and increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and erectile dysfunction.

In today’s highly competitive world where second chances are rare to come by, the pressure to win at all costs surely leaves us left with stress and sedentary lifestyles. These are the times when the body takes a huge toll and the production of natural hormones such as Testosterone start declining at a gradual and speedy pace. This means we not only face an increased risk of memory, concentration, libido, and energy loss, but our body’s ability to produce sperm and maintain bone density is hampered. This is where a potent drug like Sustanon 250 comes into the picture.

Prescribed medically for replacement therapy, Sustanon is a blend of four compounds of testosterone: 30 mg Testosterone Propionate, 60 mg testosterone phenylpropionate, 60 mg testosterone Isocaproate, and 100 mg testosterone decanoate. This anabolic androgenic steroid is prescribed worldwide for men diagnosed with low testosterone levels. This oil-based injectable blend has the chemical name of 17ß-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one and can be detected over a period of 2-3 months. This drug, prescribed as part of replacement therapy, is ideally used in doses of 250-500mg every week by men though some men tend to administer this steroid in weekly doses of 1000-2000mg. Athletes and bodybuilders stack this steroid with anabolic androgenic steroids such as Trenbolone, Anadrol, Winstrol, Dianabol, Masteron and Parabolan. However, Sustanon should be used with great care and diligence. This drug is not recommended to girls and women, especially if pregnant or breastfeeding or those who may get pregnant while using this drug.

Extremely popular among those in strength athletics and bodybuilding, Sustanon is one steroid that can always and easily be associated with promoting the sense of well being. Use of this steroid improves libido and erectile function and stimulates improvements in levels of hemoglobin and Hematocrit without any clinically relevant changes in liver enzymes and PSA. Moreover, Sustanon use is characterized by low fat deposition and water retention levels that make muscles appear smooth, strong, and ripped. The list of benefits associated with this potent and affordable steroid does not end here. Sustanon use for a period of eight to twelve weeks is also linked with improved reflexes and invincibility and this steroid can even improve the number of motor neurons in skeletal muscles and enhance neuromuscular transmission.

Ttestosterone replacement therapy with sustanon has the potential of improving the signs and symptoms of low testosterone in men diagnosed with Hypogonadism, a health condition in which the male body is unable to produce sufficient amounts of testosterone because of a problem with the testicles or with the pituitary gland controlling the testicles. It is for these and many more reasons that Sustanon is rated very highly by medical practitioners across the world to treat men with fewer spontaneous erections, reduced sexual desire, sleep disturbances, increased body fat, reduced muscle bulk, or decreased bone density. Use of this anabolic androgenic steroid is also associated with dramatic improvements in the levels of PSA, hemoglobin, hematocrit, lipid profiles, and liver function tests. Moreover, improved testosterone levels also prove useful in reducing body fat as the primary male sex hormone plays a critical role in regulating insulin, fat metabolism, and glucose. If that was not all, improved testosterone also results in improved muscle mass and body strength by increasing protein synthesis besides stimulating the drive to win and the desires for power and status.

Side effects:
Side-effects from using Sustanon 250 are consistent with side-effects of any testosterone. They include water retention and gynecomastia (bitch tits) from testosterone’s conversion to estrogen by the aromatase enzyme. Users on Sustanon also risk side-effects like hair loss and swelling of the prostate, mainly from testosterone’s conversion to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the 5-reductase enzyme. Both of these side-effects can be minimized with the use of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) like nolvadex (tamoxifen) or aromatase inhibitors (AIs) like aromasin.

Higher levels of testosterone also cause more oil to be secreted on the skin; thus, increasing your chances of getting acne. In addition, you will be more prone to sweating and your urine will have a “solvent-like” smell if you exceed 500-750mgs of sust per week.

The best steroids in the history of bodybuilding Nandrolone Decanoate

Nandrolone is one of the best known steroids in the history of bodybuilding. Originally synthesized in 1950s, athletes quickly found there was a good use for this powerful steroid. As far back as the mid 1960's Nandrolone has been used as a great addition to a dianabol and/or testosterone cycle. Since Nandrolone works for any athlete looking to increase the amount of steroids he is using, without increasing the side effects, it has been a favorite of many old school bodybuilders. In simple terms, deca allows you to use more steroids, without having more side effects.

Interestingly, trace amounts of Nandrolone have been found in the urine of pregnant women after the 6th week; as a result, we know that it is possible for a human body to make base Nandrolone. 

Nandrolone is the base hormone, but it is better known under the trade name Deca Durabolin, which contains Nandrolone Decanoate. This popular preparation takes the nandrolone hormone and adds a decanoate ester chain. This ester chain is attached during the manufacturing process and it serves dual purposes. The main purpose is to make the hormone oil soluble, so it can be put in an amp or multi-dose vial. The second purpose of this ester chain is to slow-release the steroid by keeping deca from interacting with androgen receptors until the ester chain is cleaved off by enzymes in your body. Since Nandrolone Decanoate cannot attach to an androgen receptor until enzymes in your body have cleaved off the decanoate ester, it causes the steroid to slow-release into your system over many days. For medical use, the ester's main function is to allow the hormone to be injected only once every 3 weeks. However, bodybuilders may inject Deca Durabolin weekly or as often as every three days.

Since the mid 1960's, Deca Durabolion has become a staple in most testosterone and/or dianabol cycles, the main reason is that Deca adds a lot of strength to a cycle without increasing side effects.

When used in a testosterone and/or dianabol cycle, deca really adds weight to the cycle without much more stress on the system. Deca does not add additional side-effects when used with other steroids, but it should never be used alone. Standalone use of Nandrolone comes with its very own set of nasty side-effects, the most infamous of them all, where the affected user is unable to get or sustain an erection. This is due to the fact that without the stronger testosterone metabolites like dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the softer and much weaker metabolites from deca will flood your receptors, not leaving room for stronger androgens. Not only are deca's weaker metabolites an issue when there is an absence of stronger androngens, but nandrolone itself can, and will, attach to progesterone receptors. This causes side effects that only affect the user in the absence of supraphysiological amounts of stronger androgens.

The best way to explain Deca Durabolin is that it's basically a progesterone-like hormone that builds muscle mass, strength and, to a lesser degree, helps repair joints. It should not give you any bad side effects when used with stronger androgens that will mask and counteract possible problems from Nandrolone. If ever used by itself, the bad side-effects from Nandrolone will crush your libido, sexual desire, cause bloating and gynecomastia.

Since Deca Durabolin is formulated using Nandrolone Decanoate, one of the longest esters in existence, it is very oil soluble, the way all steroids with long esters are. This easy solubility in oils means that manufacturers have to use a lower percentage of solvents to manufacture the products; thus, making for a less irritating shot. Generally, Deca injections are done weekly by most bodybuilders.

By adding 400mg per week of Nandrolone to a testosterone cycle or a Dianabol cycle, you'll be able to increase your overall steroid dosage, without increasing the side effects. For example, a bodybuilder taking 500mg Sustanon 250 per week, who felt he needed more power in his cycle, would find himself with more side-effects if he were to just take more of the same testosterone. Since testosterone aromatizes at an increasing rate at higher doses, there would be an exponential increase in the likeliness of gynecomastia and water retention if more testosterone was added weekly. When adding Nandrolone Decanoate to the same testosterone cycle, you are increasing the total amounts of steroids your body is receiving every week. However, you are not adding anymore viable substrate for undesired enzymatic reactions from aromatase and 5-reductase. In simple terms, you use more steroids without more side effects.

The dosage for men is around 400-600mgs per week but that varies depending on goals.
Side effects when stacking Deca Durabolin are a little different. As we all know, Deca is usually stacked with test and dbol. The problem is that testosterone and Dianabol are known to cause major side effects like water retention and the growth of breasts in men (gyno). These effects stem from these steroids being converted to estrogen (from testosterone) and 17a-methylestradiol (from Dianabol) by the aromatase enzyme. Other side effects these two steroids display are major hair loss and enlarging of the prostate, mainly due to testosterone's conversion to dihydrotestosterone via its inevitable interaction with the 5-reductase enzyme. Although Nandrolone has some limited interaction width both the aromatase and 5-reductase enzymes, the metabolites resulting from these interactions do not cause the same extreme side effects as test and dbol. Therefore, Deca Durabolin is basically a synergetic steroid that work well with all other bulking steroids. Allowing you to bulk more without more side-effects.
