Sustanon is a very popular steroid which is highly
appreciated by its users since it offers several
advantages when compared to other testosterone compounds.
Sustanon is a mixture of four different testosterones
which, based on the well-timed composition, have a
synergetic effect. This special feature has two positive
characteristics for the athlete. First, based on the
special combination effect of the compounds, Sustanon,
milligram for milligram, has a better effect than
Testosterone enanthate, cypionate, and propionate alone.
Second, the effect of the four testosterones is
time-released so that Sustanon goes rapidly into the
system and remains effective in the body for several
weeks. Due to the propionate also included in the steroid,
Sustanon is effective after one day and, based on the
mixed in decanoates, remains active for 3-4 weeks.
Sustanon has a distinct androgenic effect which is coupled
with a strong anabolic effect. Therefore it is well suited
to build up strength and mass. A rapid increase in body
strength and an even increase in body weight oc-cur.
Athletes who use Sustanon report a solid muscle growth
since it results in less water retention and also
aromatizes less than either testosterone enanthate or
cypionate. Indeed many bodybuilders who use testosterone
and fight against distinct water retention and an elevated
estrogen level prefer Sustanon over other long-acting
de-pot testosterones.
It is further noticed that Sustanon is also effective when
relatively low doses are given to well advanced athletes-
It is interesting to note that when Sustanon is given to
athletes who have already used this compound in the same
or lower doses, it leads to similar good results as during
the previous intake. Sustanon is usually injected at least
once a week, which can be stretched up to 10 days. The
dosage in bodybuilding and powerlifting ranges from 250 mg
every 14 days up to 1000 mg or more per day. Since such
high dosages are not recommended-and fortunately are also
not taken in most cases-the rule is 250-1000 mg/week. A
dosage of 500 mg/week is completely sufficient for most,
and can often be reduced to 250-mg/ week by combining
Sustanon with an oral steroid. Sustanon is well tolerated
as a basic steroid during treatment which stimulates the
regeneration, gives the athlete a sufficient
"kick" for intense train-ing units, and next to
the already mentioned advantage-rapid strength increase
and solid muscle gain distinguishes itself also by its
compatibility. In order to gain mass fast Sustanon is
often combined with Deca Durabolin, Dianabol or Anadrol
while athletes who are more into quality prefer combining
it with Parabolan, Winstrol, Oxandrolone or Primobolan.
Although Sustanon does not aromatize excessively when
taken in a reasonable dosage many people, in addition,
also take an antiestrogen such as Nolvadex and/or Proviron
to prevent possible estrogen-linked side effects. Since
Sustanon suppresses the endogenous testosterone production
the intake of HCG and Clomid must be considered after six
weeks or at the end of treatment. It is recommended that
women not take depot testosterones since the androgen
level would strongly increase and virilization symptoms
could result. Despite this, it is not uncommon for female
competing athletes in the higher weight classes to take
testosterone since it helps in remaining "competitive."
Women who use "Testo" or who would like to try
it should limit its use to either only testosterone
propionate or inject a maxi-mum of 250 mg Sustanon every
10-14 days over a period of no longer than six weeks. At
this point we would like to emphasize once more that
steroid novices should stay away from all testoster-one
compounds since, at this time, they simply do not need
them. The side effects of Sustanon are similar to those of
Testosterone enanthate (see also Testosterone enanthate)
only that they are usu-ally less frequent and less severe.
Depending on the predisposition and dosage, the user can
experience the usual androgenic-linked side effects such
as acne, aggressiveness, sexual overstimulation, oily
skin, accelerated hair loss, and reduced production of the
body's own hormones. Water retention and gynecomastia are
usually within limits with the "Sustas" or are
not as massive as with enanthate and cypionate. Liver
damage is unlikely with Sustanon (see Testosterone
enanthate); however, in very high dosages, elevated liver
values can occur which, after discontinuing use of the
compound, usually go back to normal. The fact that the
liver is a very efficient organ and able to cope well with
higher quantities of testosterone is confirmed in the book
Doping-verbotene Arzneimittel im Sport by Dirk Clasing and
Manfred Donike. On page 54 the authors state: "The
liver is able to metabolize an almost unlimited amount of
testosterone (2 g of rat liver are able to break down 100
mg/day of testosterone). "
Sustanon 250 usually costs
$12 - $18 per 1 cc ampule on the black market and is certainly
worth the price. |
