Winstrol is a very effective steroid when used correctly. It is
important to distinguish between the two different forms of
administration of stanozolol, since the injectable Winstrol Depot is
distinctly more effective than the oral Winstrol. Thus it is
preferred by most athletes.
What is special about the injectable Winstrol Depot is that its
substance is not as is common in almost all steroids-dissolved in
oil it is dissolved in water. Although almost every
steroid-experienced bodybuilder knows this difference, the practical
application of this knowledge rarely occurs: the injection-free
intervals of the compound Winstrol Depot must be distinctly shorter
than with the other common steroids. Simplified, this means that
Winstrol Depot 50 mg/ml must be injected much more frequently than
the oil-dissolved steroids (e.g. Primobolan, Deca-Durabolin,
Sustanon 250,Parabolan, etc.). The reason for this is the relative
low half-life time of steroids. Those dissolved in water must be
injected at least every second day, and best results are observed at
a daily injection of 50 mg. The substance stanozolol is a precursor
to the dihydrotestosterone and consequently, it prevents Winstrol
Depot from aromatizing into estrogens with water retention occurring
only rarely. Based on these characteristics the main application of
Winstrol Depot is clearly defined in bodybuilding: preparation for a
competition. Together with a calorie-reduced diet which is rich in
protein Winstrol Depot gives the muscles a continuously harder
appearance. Winstrol Depot is usually not used as the only steroid
during dieting since, based on its low androgenic component, it does
not reliably protect the athlete from losing muscle tissue. The
missing, pronounced, androgenic effect is often balanced by a
combined intake with Parabolan. The combination of Winstrol Depot 5O
mg/day and Finaject 30 mg/day, until a few years ago, was THE
competition stack. Since original Finaject has been phased out for
years Parabolon has taken over its place. Depending on the athletes
performance level, the athlete usually takes 50 mg Winstrol Depot
every l-2 days and Parabolan 76 mg/1.5 ml every 1-2 day. Although
there is no scientific proof of a special combined action between
Winstrol Depot and Parabolan, based on several practical examples, a
synergetic effect seems likely. Other steroids which athletes
successfully combine with Winstrol Depot during the preparation for
a competition include Masteron, Equipose, Halotestin, Anavar,
Testoviron Depot, Primobolan Depot, and HGH.
Winstrol Depot, however, is not only especially suited during
preparation for a competition but also in a gaining phase. Since it
does not cause water retention rapid weight gains with Winstrol
Depot are very rare. However a solid muscle gain and an over
proportionally strong strength increase occur, usually remaining
after use of the compound is discontinued. Bodybuilders who want to
build up strength and mass often combine Winstrol Depot with
Dianabol (D-bol), Anadrol, Testoviron Depot, or Deca Durabolin. With
a stack of 100 mg Anadrol/day, 50 mg Winstrol Depot/day, and 400 mg
Deca Durabolin/week the user slowly gets into the dosage range of
ambitious competing athletes. Older athletes and steroid novices can
achieve good progress with either Winstrol Depot/Deca Durabolin or
Winstrol Depot/Primobolan Depot. They use quite a harmless stack
which normally does not lead to noticeable side effects. This leaves
steroid novices with enough room for the "harder" stuff which they
do not yet need in this phase Winstrol Depot is mainly an anabolic
steroid with a moderate, androgenic effect which, however can
especially manifest itself in women dosing 50 mg/week and in men
dosing higher quantities. Problems in female athletes usually occur
when a quantity of 50 mg is injected twice weekly. The effect of
Winstrol Depot decreases considerably after a few days and thus an
injection at least twice weekly is justified. However, an undesired
accumulation of androgens in the female organism can occur,
resulting in masculinization symptoms. Some deep female voices
certainly originated with the intake of Winstrol Depot. However, a
dose of 50 mg Winstrol Depot every second day in ambitious female
athletes is the rule rather than the exception. Other non-androgenic
side effects can occur in men as well as in women, manifesting
themselves in headaches, cramps, changes in the HDL and LDL values,
and in rare cases, in high blood pressure. Possible liver damage can
be estimated as very low when Winstrol is injected; however in large
doses an elevation in the liver values is possible.
Although there are many fakes of the injectable Winstrol, the
original "Winny" as it is lovingly called by its users, is easily
recognized based on its unusual form of administration. At a first
glance the content of the ampule is only a milky, white, watery
solution which, however has distinct characteristics. Original "Winny"
is recognized because the substance separates from the watery
injection fluid when the ampule is not shaken for some time. When
the ampule is left flat in its ampule box or, for example, stands
upright on a table, the substance accumulates as a distinctly
visible white layer on the lower side of the glass and can only be
mixed with the watery fluid if shaken several times or rolled
forward and backward. An ampule containing 1 ml of suspension and
its 50 mg dissolved stanozolol should normally separate a white
layer in the size of almost a thumbnail. The athlete thus can easily
determine whether his injectable Winstrol is actually stanozolol or
is rather under-dosed. Do not buy ampules or glass vials which
contain more than 1 ml of suspension since an original injectable
Winstrol is only available in one-milliliter glass ampules. The
original Spanish ampules by Zambon have an unusually large round
shape and a brown imprint. In the meantime there are several
well-made fakes.
Since Winthrop Company discontinued the formerly well-distributed
Strombaject, the international black steroid market carries the
Spanish Winstrol Depot of Zambon Company almost exclusively. The
price for a 50 mg Winstrol Depot ampule lies between $13 to $17 on
the black market.
When injected daily Winstrol Depot can become a very expensive
compound. It also has the disadvantage that, because of the frequent
injections, the already-mentioned scar tissue will develop in the
gluteal region (buttocks) which leads many athletes to inject
Winstrol in their shoulders, arms, legs or even calms.
Although this was originally intended as an expedient, injecting
Winstrol Depot into certain muscles has become increasingly popular
since athletes have noticed that this leads to an accelerated growth
of the affected muscle. An American pro bodybuilder who is known for
his cross-striated, horseshoe-shaped triceps owes this in
considerable part to his regular "triceps Winstrol-Depot
injections." A confusion with the also often used Esiclene is
excluded. Athletes who want to avoid daily injections usually take
2-3ml Winstrol Depot twice a week. In the U.S. injectable stanozolol
is manufactured only for veterinary medicine. It is distributed
under the name Winstrol V by Winthrop and Upjohn Companies
Unfortunately there are several fakes of Winstrol Depot.
