Anadrol

Anadrol is an oral steroid which contains 25 mg of the hormone Oxymetholone.

Anadrol is a very good drug for promoting massive gains in both strength and size. Anadrol is very anabolic and will promote an increase in red blood cell count and appetite. Anadrol was originally designed as a form of treatment for patients suffering from diseases which cause the body to waste away, such as HIV.

A lot of bodybuilders consider Anadrol to be the strongest oral that there is for sheer mass gain. It is important to note that some of this mass will be from water bloat caused by the steroid. While Oxymetholone is a DHT derived compound and therefore can’t convert directly to estrogen, it still is known for many estrogenic related side effects. Some have speculated that Oxymetholone somehow triggers the body’s natural estrogen receptors into overdrive. Stronger anti-estrogens such as Letrozole and Exemestane have been shown to greatly suppress the body’s estrogen levels and can both be very effective in keeping these types of side effects to a minimum while using Oxymetholone.

Anadrol is a very fast acting steroid and bodybuilders usually begin to notice its effects towards the end of the first week.  It is important to note that Anadrol can be liver toxic if not used responsibly. Bodybuilders are urged to keep cycles of this steroid short, preferably 6 weeks or less, and to keep doses to 100 mg or less daily.

Those looking to cycle with Anadrol will typically use it the first 3-6wks of a cycle that also includes an injectable form of Testosterone. For even more superior mass gains, bodybuilders may choose to add another injectable such as Deca or Tren to the cycle. In these cases, mass and strength gains are sure to be nothing less than dramatic. Anadrol will shut down the body’s ability to produce testosterone naturally, therefore making a PCT regime crucial upon discontinued use.
