Winstrol (Stanozolol) A Basic Guide by Heavyiron

Winstrol (Stanozolol)

Stanozolol has a anabolic rating of 320 and an androgenic rating of 30 making it an excellent steroid for promoting muscle growth with zero water retention. Stanozolol cannot aromatize into estrogen so estrogenic side effects like water retention are not a factor. Even the most gyno prone users can use Winstrol without any worry of gynocomastia.

Winstrol is excellent for dieting bodybuilders and is best employed near the end of a cutting cycle to keep the user anabolic but give a dry shredded appearance. Winstrol is also favored by speed athletes like runners, swimmers and even fighters who want to stay in a certain weight class but want to have an anabolic edge.

Winstrol also significantly lowers SHBG even at very low doses in a matter of a few days. This is significant because that equates to more free testosterone. Winstrol stacked with testosterone means more testosterone stays free or active. Some users report increased sex drive when stacking Winstrol with testosterone. Basically Winstrol makes your testosterone work better and it can raise libido.

Administration Men

A good starting dose for performance is 25-50mg Winstrol daily. I prefer to stack Winstrol with Testosterone Propionate. I also prefer shorter runs of around 3-6 weeks due to liver stress and Winstrol’s profound ability to lower HDL and raise LDL like most orals.

Administration Women

A good starting dose for performance is 10mg Winstrol daily for 6-8 weeks. A more adventuresome female may take up to 20mg daily however side effects will increase with dosage.

Not all Winstrol is created equal

Injectable Winstrol is a suspension as opposed to a solution. Suspensions have tiny particles that are visible with the naked eye. If left on the shelf for a few days many times the particles will sink to the bottom leaving the clear solvents and water on the top. Depending on the manufacturer, particle sizes vary meaning some Winstrol preparations can clog a 22 gauge needle. Ultra micronized Winstrol can easily pass through a 25 gauge needle making injections more comfortable.

Can I mix water based Winstrol with oil based steroids?

A common misconception is that oil and water based steroids cannot be injected together. This is absolutely false. You may mix water based Winstrol with any oil based steroid. The picture below is Cypionate and Winstrol together in the same syringe (Winny lava lamp).

Bacteria and water based steroids (drinking your Winstrol)

Bacteria have an easier time living in water based steroids than in oil based steroids. Winstrol is notorious for causing painful lumps at the injection site and for causing infections and or abscesses. This is because many underground labs improperly assemble steroids not because of the Winstrol itself. I do not recommend injecting UGL Winstrol due to the risk for infection unless the lab uses GMP standards. I only recommend human grade injectable Winstrol made at GMP standards.

Because injectable Winstrol can be ingested orally and because it can cause infections when injected some users drink their injectable Winstrol to avoid infections as gastric acid destroys the bacteria. You may drink your Winstrol however injecting has been proven to work better mg for mg than oral administration. However, injectable Winstrol tastes absolutely awful.

Overall Winstrol is an excellent cutting anabolic and also well suited for speed sports. It’s the “summer” steroid because it does not promote the watery look that so many other steroids do.
