Masteron info
Masteron is
an injectable preparation containing the steroid drostanolone
propionate. Drostanolone is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone,
most specifically 2alpha-methyldihydrotestosterone. As a
result, the structure of this steroid is that of a moderate
anabolic/potent androgen which does not aromatize to estrogen.
Water retention and gynecomastia are therefore not a concern
with this compound; as of course here estrogen is usually
the culprit. Masteron may in fact exhibit anti-estrogenic
activity in the body, competing with other substrates for
binding to aromatase. This would reduce the conversion rate
of other steroids, Masteron acting in the same manner as
the oral steroid Proviron.
Bodybuilders
have a strong appreciation for non-aromatizing androgens,
and find Masteron very useful as a cutting agent. It is
likewise generally used a number of weeks prior to a competition,
in an effort to bring out an improved look of density and
hardness to the muscles. For this purpose Masteron should
work exceptionally well so long as the body fat percentage
is low enough. Provided everything fits as if should, the
user can achieve that "ripped" look so popular
to professional bodybuilding. The androgenic effect can
also be crucial during this period, a time when caloric
intake is drastically lowered. The user is provided added
"kick" or "drive" to push through the
grueling training sessions leading up to the show. Drostanolone
was once also popular with athletes subject to drug testing,
as for a period of time this compound was not screened for
during competition. The urinary metabolites of drostanolone
were recognized by the early 90's however, and this drug
now adjoins a long list of anabolic/androgenic steroids
identifiable during urinalysis testing. Although some bodybuilders
claim they can safely use Masteron if discontinued three
to four weeks before a test, there are always uncertainties
with the use of esterified injectable steroids. This perhaps
makes the oral DHT Proviron (1-methyldihydrotestosterone)
a slightly better choice, as orals offer much better control.
Recreational users might also be interested in Masteron.
Although dihydrotestosterone is not highly active in muscle
tissue, the 2 alkylation present on drostanolone considerably
intensifies its anabolic effect. It can therefore be used
somewhat effectively as bulking agent, providing a consistent
gain of high quality muscle mass. It can also be successfully
combined with other steroids for an enhanced effect. Mixing
drostanolone with an injectable anabolic such as Deca-Durabolin
(nandrolone decanoate) or Equipoise (boldenone undecylenate)
can prove quite useful for example, the two providing notably
enhanced muscle gain without excessive water retention.
For greater mass gains, one can alternately addition a stronger
androgen such as Dianabol or an injectable testosterone.
The result here can be an extreme muscle gain, with a lower
level of water retention & other estrogenic side effects
than if these steroids were used alone (usually in higher
doses). Masteron could of course be used during cutting
phases of training as well. A cycle of this drug combined
with Winstrol, Primobolan or Oxandrolone should
provide great muscle retention and fat loss, during a period
which can be very catabolic without steroids. It is an added
benefit that none of these steroids aromatize, and therefore
there is no additional worry of unwanted water/fat retention.
The propionate
ester used with this compound will extend its activity for
only a few days. With such a short duration of effect, injections
need to be repeated at least every 3 or 4 days in order
to maintain a consistent level of hormone in the blood.
The weekly dosage lands in the range of 300-500mg, a level
more than sufficient to receive good results. We also should
mention that while some women do profess to using this item
before a show, it is much too androgenic in nature to recommend.
Virilization symptoms can result quickly with its use, making
Masteron a very risky item to experiment with. If attempted,
the dosage should be limited to no more than 25 to 50mg
each week. The female athlete would be further served by
increasing the number of days between injections to prevent
buildup of steroid in the body. In this case, Masteron can
perhaps be administered once every 7 days.
Since estrogen
offers us no trouble, side effects are generally mild with
this steroid. As discussed earlier, gynecomastia and water
retention go unseen. So are problems controlling blood pressure,
again usually associated with estrogen. Masteron is also
not liver toxic, so there is little concern stress will
be placed on this organ, even during longer cycles. The
only prominent side effects stem from the basic androgenic
properties of dihydrotestosterone. This includes oily skin,
acne, body/facial hair growth, aggression and accelerated
hair loss. Since this compound is already a synthetic DHT,
Proscar would have no impact on the level of androgenic
effects. Men with a receding hairline (or those with a known
familial predisposition for baldness) may therefore wish
to stay away from Masteron completely, as the potent androgenic
effect of this steroid can easily exacerbate such a condition. |
