ANADROL 100 tabs 100mg/tab (Medical Pharma)
This is an oral, methylated (17-alpha-alkylated) steroid that is both highly
androgenic as well as highly anabolic. Some novice users report weight gains of
up to a pound per day fpor the first 3 weeks of administration, as well as
incredible strength gains. Neither is uncommon among first-time steroid users,
and this type of weight gain makes Oximetholone one of the most highly coveted
drugs for off season mass-building cycles. Aggressiveness often increases
dramatically on this compound, and that may be due to the elevation in androgen
levels it provides, it's effects on the central nervous system, and it being
derived from DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which anecdotally seems to make athletes
much more aggressive.
This last effect is often seen by the media as a
negative side effect, but in a hard training (and emotionally stable) athlete,
this aggressiveness often manifests itself as a stronger drive in the gym and
results in more strength gained, and ultimately, more weight. Unfortunately,
users of this drug also experience the negative aspects of DHT which can include
excessive water retention, acne, and hair loss. Many people consider
Oximetholone a dangerous compound, but this isn't necessarily so. Oximetholone
was originally produced in a whopping 50mg pill, so you don't need to take many
of them to get a very high dose of Oxymetholone (the drug in Oximetholone).
Compare this dose to Oxandrolone which is produced in a 2.5mg pill, or
Dianabol which was produced in a 5mg pill, and you'll see why Oximetholone has
such a reputation for being powerful. One tab is has as many milligrams as 20
of the original Oxandrolone tabs or 20 of the original Dianabol tabs! On a
milligram for milligram basis, Oximetholone is no more dangerous than most oral
steroids out there. You just have to remember that you get 50mgs in each
tablet, and adjust your dose accordingly. Occasionally people using
Oximetholone get flu-like-symptoms or a headache. I personally get both, but
the headache is much worse (it is probably from my blood pressure elevating
quickly).
A lot of the horror stories you hear about steroids is from
people abusing this one in particulate. Chris Duffy ( a now retired IFBB
professional) claimed to use ten of them every day. It's no wonder that it has
been linked to prostate and liver cancer, liver disease, thyroid dysfunction,
leukemia, and heart disorders, and even hepatic comas. Again, this is a powerful
drug, and not to be taken lightly, but is no more dangerous than many others.
It will also raise your hematocrit, and commensurately your blood pressure. to
where clotting time may become an issue. Since Oximetholone is derived from
DHT, it can cause issues in DHT-sensitive target tissue like the scalp,
prostate, and sebaceous glands. It can also cause suppression of the
Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis, resulting in a low sperm count, and a
lowering of Luteinizing hormone, which is what signals your testes to secrete
testosterone. Anadrol therapy, therefore, will lower your testosterone
levels.
Women generally steer clear of Oximetholone, because of it's
possible virilizing effects, including clitoral enlargement, facial hair growth,
deeper voice, and missed periods.
Oxymetholone is infamous for
negatively effecting liver function and increasing markers of that such as
SGPT and SGOT enzymes (and others) which are all hepatic indicators (indicators
of liver dysfunction). Jaundice (a yellowing of the whites of the eyes and
finger nails) can even occur from extended Oximetholone use. As previously
stated, Oximetholone is a derivative of DHT, which is itself a 5-alpha-reduced
version of testosterone. Some androl users have reported gyno from its use but
this is unlikely to be a result of oximetholone (which doesn't convert to
estrogen, nor DHT, nor can it stimulate the progesterone receptor). Users of
Oximetholone who experience gynocomastia (the of breast tissue by males) have
probably developed this condition as a result of the concurrent use of another
steroid along with their Oximetholone. Oxymetholone also causes edema (water
retention) which could possibly be due to enhanced retention, which often causes
a smoothed appearance to muscles.
Oximetholone is medical use is (as
with most steroids) to treat low red blood cell production, which often
manifests itself as anemia. Therefore, during administration of Oximetholone,
red blood cell count is increased greatly. For the hard-training athlete, this
is a great benefit because it meant that there is more oxygen transported to the
muscles, resulting in both an incredible muscle pump as well as increased
ability to do multiple sets with very heavy weights. The time needed between
sets, and ability to do more sets per workout are both increased, and a reduced
need for off-days from the gym is often seen as well. This increased work
capacity contributes to the athlete being able to do a great deal more
productive weight training sessions per cycle, and this of course contributes to
their gains immeasurably.
Advanced bodybuilders and power lifters have
reported excellent results with 50-200 mg per day, taken in divided doses. It's
very often the drug of choice for athletes attempting to move up a weight class
in bodybuilding or powerlifting. Although myself and many others have used
Oximetholone alone, it's not very common to do so, and it's generally stacked
with something like Testosterone, and Deca Durabolin or Equipoise. By stacking
it with highly anabolic compounds like them, more high quality gains are
generally seen, and less of the watery/bloated look is experienced.
