Commonly used to put on mass and size while increasing strength. It leads
to less water retention and estrogenic side effects.
Sustanon is
a very popular steroid which is highly appreciated
by its users since it offers several advantages when
compared to other testosteron compounds. Sustanon is
a mixture of four different testosterones which, based
on the well-timed composition, have a synergetic effect.These
substances are: Testosterone
propionate 30 mg, Testosterone phenylpropionate
60mg, Testosterone isocaporate 60 mg, Testosterone
decanoate 100 mg
How
it works
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 sytem 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 occur.
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 depot testosterones.  |
Dosages
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 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 training
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 (D-bol) or Anadrol Anavar while
athletes who are more into quality prefer combining
it with Parabolan, Winstrol,
Anavar or
Primobolan Depot.
Side
efffects
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.
The side effects
of Sustanon are similar to those of Testosterone
enanthate (see also Testosterone enanthate) only
that they are usually less frequent and less severe.
Depending on the predisposition and dosage, the user
can experience the usual androgenic-liked 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 however, in
very high dosages, elevated liver values can occur
which, after discontinuing use of the compound, usually
go back to normal. |
Women
and Sustanon
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
virilizalion syniploins could result. Despite that,
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 maximum 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 testosterone compounds
since, at this time, they simply do not need them.
Sustanon is
well distributed on the black market and readily available.
Unfortunately a large number of these compounds are
more or less good fakes.
When someone
offers you ampules which do not have a paper label
but a simple, usually red, imprint, these are certainly
fakes. Mostly these are Polish Omnadren from which
the original label was removed and replaced by a Sustanon
imprint Original Sustanon which almost exclusively
is manufactured by Organon Company always lias a paper
label.
It is more
difficult to find the less frequently available original "Susta." On
the black market mostly the Russian or Indian Sustanon
250 are available however, large quantities of this
original Sustanon 250 are smuggled to Europe and the
U.S.
The Russian
Sustanon 250 comes in a plastic film; printed in blue
ink on the back are the name of the compound, the manufacturer,
and the included substances. This imprint is either
stamped on aluminum foil or on white paper. Five ampules
are combined in one strip whereas each ampule is packaged
individually. Original Sustanon
250 usually costs $16-19 per ampule on the black
market and is certainly worth the price. In the meantime
there are also several fakes of the Russian version
which, however, can be easily identified by the rounded
corners of the label. The originals always have a label
With sharp corners.
