Stanozolol is one of the most popular anabolic steroids of all time. A testosterone derivative of the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) class originally developed by Sterling-Winthrop Laboratories under the trade name Winstrol and as such is how most associate the hormonal compound. A very popular contest prep steroid in the bodybuilding world, Stanozolol holds equal popularity in many other fields; in-fact, Stanozolol may be the most commonly used steroid in performance sports due to not only the attributes garnered by its nature but its short detectability. As its use is well-suited across the board what makes the steroid all the more special is its toleration in both men and women. While the majority of anabolic steroids can have horrific effects on the female user, while Stanozolol can cause these affects as well when used inappropriately, when used responsibly it can be one of the most female friendly steroids of all; not nearly as friendly as say Anavar or Primobolan but close.

Stanozolol : The Basics

Stanozolol as a DHT based steroid can be found in both oral and injectable form and both forms are close to equally as powerful on a milligram for milligram basis; while many steroids come in both forms it is rare to have both forms so close together in potency. However, on a milligram for milligram basis the injectable form of Stanozolol, commonly known as Winstrol Depot is slightly stronger. Even so, this steroid holds one trait very unique as both forms can be taken in orally; many who buy injectable Stanozolol choose to drink the liquid solution and take it just as they would a tablet as injecting this water based solution can be very painful.

When determining which form is best for you, as they are so close to one another in-terms of effectiveness in many cases it’s simply going with the one you get the best deal on. However, as Stanozolol is toxic to the liver, the oral form is far more toxic due to its 17-aa form. Regardless of the form you will have the same DHT based anabolic at hand that carries with it only slight androgenic traits. Through its direct mode of action Stanozolol greatly increases nitrogen retention in the muscles, allowing for greater protein synthesis and by-which it performs its action without any aromatase effect, a trait many anabolic steroids have where Stanozolol does not in-terms of aromatase.

Benefits of Use

While some anabolic steroids are equally well-suited for bulking, cutting and general athletic performance Stanozolol will not provide much to a bulking cycle of any significant worth; gaining mass is definitely not its strong suit. While many inappropriately say this steroid will rip you up it is true that it is an excellent choice for the leaning out purpose. No, Stanozolol will not make a soft physique lean and hard; sorry, steroids really don’t work that way but it will aid in the process by the positive effects it will have on your metabolism but without proper diet it will be useless for this purpose. Stanozolol really shines in a diet for its ability to harden up a physique and in its ability to preserve lean tissue while in a caloric deficit.
