Chemical Name: Oxymetholone Street Name: A-50, Androl-50 Bodybuilding Use: Anadrol is one of the strongest and most potent oral steroids... It’s been around and available for nearly 34 years.... It’s often as revered by bodybuilders as Buddha is in Tibet... And that’s saying something! The cool thing about this drug is that it is both androgenic and anabolic... Not too many drugs have both activities, and that’s what makes Anadrol such a powerful steroid... It is associated with rapid weight gain - both by fluid retention and by actual mass building - and carries with it a great number of side effects because of the androgenic activity... Anabolics carry very few side effects... But because of the combination, dramatic increases in both strength and mass are assured... That’s why powerlifters adore this drug... Anadrol is one of those orals that is 17alpha-alkylated... Most bodybuilders have heard this term associated with several orals, including D-bol, Anavar and Winstrol... The only difference is, while any drug that is 17 alpha-alkylated is toxic to the liver, Anadrol-50 is ultra-toxic because it requires a higher milligram level per dose of the drug because of its lower affinity for androgen receptors... Drugs like D-bol have a much higher affinity for receptors, so the dose can be much less. Based on affinities alone, taking 3 Anadrol-50 tabs (150 mg.) is about equivalent to taking 30 Dianabol tabs or 75 Winstrol tabs!! On a six week cycle, you can reasonably expect to gain about 20-25 pounds... Recommended Dose: Let’s face it, Anadrol is an incredibly effective steroid whether you’re being careful or throwing caution to the wind... But it’s very also very potent in the sense that more is not always better... (See parameters in last paragraph)... When I recommend doses for drugs, I’m only careful with two types: Loop diuretics (Lasix and Bumex) and Anadrol-50, which I consider to be a type unto itself... It’s not inconceivable to go down for the count with a massive heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure on this one if you get greedy and fiendish about it, and end up taking too much... I wouldn’t say that if it weren’t true... It doesn’t happen everyday or every week or month or year, but people have died from abusing this drug... Then again, if you didn’t ever use this drug, I’d wonder if you were just a recreational bodybuilder! But you must heed warnings about it... It may be almost impossible to overdose on Primobolan or Winstrol tabs, but your circulatory system can literally implode with too much of this stuff... In the first week of a 6 week cycle with the stuff, start off using one or two 50mg tabs... As you progress, work up to a maximum of 4... Now I’m not saying 4 when I really mean 6 or 7. I really mean 4 max! Even 3 is completely ample for a 200-220 pound bodybuilder... If you start taking more you have less chance of walking away on your own two feet. Combine that with other drugs that produce similar side effects, and it’s a true crap shoot... Once you go off of Anadrol, after 6 weeks or so, start including a regular testosterone to take up where Anadrol left off... You’ll maintain your size and strength for much longer and may not lose as much size in the end as you might if you just stopped the cycle altogether... And keep the Nolvadex flowing! Side Effects: This drug is associated with quite possibly the greatest number of troublesome side effects; the extreme weight gain, hair loss, oily skin, acne and body/facial hair growth, and nasty temper tantrums associated with this drug make it something to be both feared and revered... A lot of bodybuilders get horrible headaches using Anadrol because of the increase in blood pressure... This can run from mildly uncomfortable to excruciating... Masking: A-50 is a difficult drug to mask because of its combination adrogenic/anabolic activity... The half life is hard to predict... Effectiveness Rating: A 1990 some non-scientist took a poll of over 500 U.S. athletes who used anabolic steroids... All were asked to rate various drugs, sources and levels of effectiveness, along with side effects experienced... Anadrol-50 came in head-and-shoulders above the field in effectiveness, and was rated higher than any other steroid in existence for superior mass gains over relatively short periods of time... However, it was also associated with a great many negative side effects, as you read above... Final Smack on Anadrol… Anadrol stacks especially well with most drugs associated with mass... Choose drugs such as D-Bol, Equipoise or Sustanon250 for a powerful stack... Remember, when you take A-50 it’s because you want to maximize your mass gains... Don’t take it during a pre-contest phase or when you are taking other drugs that are better suited to hardening and fine tuning (Winstrol, Primobolan etc.)... It’s truly an invaluable part of a serious bodybuilder’s arsenal of power drugs! Here’s the deal though: You have to keep Anadrol use short but sweet... It’s not a drug you can stay on for a long period of time on low doses, or hit hard and long in duration... It’s really a 4-6 week drug and should be used that way, periodically, in an off season stack. Choose drugs that are anabolic to accompany it so you can minimize the androgenic side effects... Also, you must take some kind of anti-estrogen with this drug throughout the entire time you take it... I’d even recommend leading off with Nolvadex even before you pop one of these pills in your cycle! Continue taking it well after too, as it’s quite possible for aromatization to continue occurring even after you’ve stopped both the androgen and the Nolvadex... Nolvadex can also reduce water retention, provided you’re keeping a decent diet at the same time (a tight diet is highly recommended, by the way)... __________________
