Deca Durabolin is without question one of the most popular steroids of all time and this state-of-the-art blend represents a major advance in how it is delivered. In fact Nandromix could be called the ‘Sustanon of Deca’s’ since it functions in a similar time-released fashion as the popular testosterone blend.

First of all we have the traditional Nandrolone Decanoate (aka Deca Durabolin). Nandrolone Decanoate was originally developed to combat wasting diseases where patients were restricted to bed rest in order to prevent muscle catabolism. It was adopted by the bodybuilding world due to its ability to add muscle with fewer side effects than some other popular drugs. It also has the highly desirable characteristic of reducing inflammation throughout the body thus easing (and often completely curing) joint pain resulting from sustained heavy lifting.

Nandrolone Decanoate is often taken in preference to testosterone due to the fact that it has a lower rate of conversion to estrogen (only converting to estrogen at roughly 20% the rate of testosterone). An ability to improve bone mineral content and increase collagen synthesis also adds to its attractiveness.
Nandrolone Decanoate also has a very long active life (14-16 days) which removes the need for frequent injections – although most bodybuilders choose to inject it one a week (or twice depending on dosage).

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is a shorter acting Deca ester, which not only acts faster but also produces less water retention than its longer acting cousin. It is a progestin (like any other Nandrolone derivative) however it does not produce any of the typical estrogen side effects (due once again to an extremely low conversion rate). The beauty of adding the Phenylpropionate ester to this formula is that it allows for a rapid onset of action with concentrations in the blood building steadily for up to four days. This could be compared to the addition of Testosterone Propionate to the Sustanon blend in that it allows a rapid infusion of hormone throughout the body.

Finally we have Nandrolone Undecanoate, which is a longer acting ester and therefore facilitates a prolonged effect to take place. Nandrolone Undecanoate is also a very unique nandrolone ester with a reputation of being more potent than the other nandrolones.

SIDE EFFECTS

Although side effects with Nandrolone are much less than with other steroids (e.g. testosterone) it is not completely free of negative effects. However, it is generally accepted that, at doses of around 400mg/week or lower it is rare to encounter any real problems. If side effects do occur they would present themselves as slight acne, aggressiveness, headaches, increased sex drive, lowered sperm production and impotence.

IMPORTANT NOTE

It is very important to pay attention to your diet when using any form of Nandrolone since a positive nitrogen balance and subsequent muscle growth can only occur if enough calories and protein are supplied. If you fail to eat enough protein this drug can be rendered nearly useless. Then again, that is the case with steroids of any kind.

DOSAGE

The usual dose for this substance is 300- 600mg/week for men (although it is not unknown for amounts of up to 800m/g week to be administered). Women usually get by on 50-100mg/week – though once again at the competitive level this amount would be likely to increase.

When considering what dose to use just remember that side effects are dose related and more likely to present themselves when going above 400mg/week.

THE FINAL WORD

As previously mentioned, this is a very valuable and unique presentation of the old stand-by Deca Durabolin. The addition of 50mg of Nandrolone Phenylpropionate making it very attractive when it comes to producing an immediate impact on the system. So if you have, or were considering, using a standard Deca preparation you might just want to give this a try instead!

In the last few years Clenbuterol has replaced Ephedrine as the drug of choice when it comes to fat loss and contest preparation in general. Clenbuterol is used throughout the world as a bronchodialator and, when used this way, it is highly effective with a low level of user complaints. In terms of fat loss, ‘Clen’ (as it is frequently called) is what is known as a
Repartitioning agent – meaning that it will increase your ratio of Fat Free Mass to Fat Mass.

Clenbuterol belongs to a class of drugs known as sympathomimetics. These drugs affect the sympathetic nervous system in numerous ways. It is specifically a selective beta-2 sympathomimetic, stimulating the beta-2 receptors, which creates a thermogenic effect, directly stimulating fat cells and accelerating the breakdown of triglycerides to form free fatty acids. Animal studies have also shown it to be quite anti-catabolic and/or anabolic which obviously leads to its attractiveness amongst bodybuilders – particularly during the pre-contest phase. However, it has to be said that these studies have been restricted to animals and there is little real evidence of Clenbuterol having muscle building/sparing properties in humans. This does little to tarnish its reputation as a great adjunct anabolic – used both off-season and pre-contest.

ACTIVE LIFE

Another attractive quality of this drug is its extremely long half-life in the body – which gives it an active life of approximately 34-36 hours. This makes it easy to maintain steady blood levels with a single or twice daily dosing schedule. Interestingly enough, Clenbuterol has never been approved for use in the USA (perhaps the drug companies would not find it profitable enough). This does little to affect its availability on the black market however, with many foreign preparations being readily available.

DOSING AND SIDE EFFECTS

Clenbuterol is generally a drug where you have to gradually assess your own individual tolerance level. Basically, it is advisable to start with 20mcgs upon rising. If the side effects (possible anxiety, shaking and sweating) are not too pronounced, then the same dose can be repeated later in the day. Men generally end up in the range of 2-8 tablets a day. Women usually find 2-4 to be very effective.
As previously suggested, Clenbuterol does have a fair amount of side effects – most of which will be familiar to anyone who has used CNS stimulants. Along with a slight increase in body temperature (due to the thermogenic effect) users may experience shaky hands, insomnia, sweating, increased blood pressure and nausea. These side effects usually become less noticeable once the user becomes accustomed to the drug. They are also dose dependant – which is why it is always advised to begin on a low dose in order to gauge your tolerance level.

DRAWBACKS ASSOCIATED WITH CLENBUTEROL USE

One of the main drawbacks with this drug is that after a couple of weeks it seems to stop working for most people. This is due to the fact that it can cause a down regulation of the beta-receptors in the pulmonary, cardiac and Central Nervous System. One way to sense this down regulation is when you no longer feel an elevation in body temperature following administration. This suggests that the substance is no longer exhibiting a thermogenic effect. At this point increasing the dosage would not be very effective and a break of at least two weeks should be taken before it is used again. This accounts for the popular two weeks on/two weeks off method of administration. There is however much controversy in this area. Some say it can promote fat loss for approximately 4-6 weeks, though any strength gains can usually only be felt for 3-4 weeks (probably due more to the stimulant properties rather than any real anabolic effect).

The use of anti-histamines such as Benadryl or Ketotifen every 3rd or 4th week may help prevent this tolerance to some extent – although they should be taken at bedtime since they will cause drowsiness.

It has also been found that Clenbuterol depletes the body of the amino acid Taurine, so you may want to supplement with this during a cycle of Clen.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

However you decide to incorporate this substance into your program, you must always start low and never go above 8 tablets a day (with a complete maximum being 200mcgs). Monitor your blood pressure and keep it at (or below) 140/90. If it goes above that, or if side effects become intolerable use your common sense and decrease the dose.

ENHANCING THE EFFECTS

Many competitive athletes find that the fat burning effects of Clenbuterol can be enhanced by combining it with thyroid hormones (particularly Cytomel). The thermogenic effect in this instance can be very powerful. When combined these cutting agents can even counter the fat storing effects of strong aromatizing androgens. A Clenbuterol/thyroid mix is also common when using growth hormone, as it seems to increase the thermogenic and anabolic effect significantly.

(Testosterone Propionate – 50mg, Drostanolone Propionate – 50mg, Trenbolone Acetate – 50mg)

One look around the various muscle forums hanging out on the web will tell you that this ready-made stack is rapidly gaining cult status.

A run down of the ingredients lets you know right away that this is an excellent pre-contest stack. Testosterone Propionate is a fast acting testosterone which gives you all the major benefits of the longer acting ‘tests’ but with significantly less water retention. It also clears the body relatively quickly (levels peaking after 24-36 hrs with a 3 day active life) making it the testosterone of choice for drug-tested athletes. You can check elsewhere on this site for more details on Testosterone Propionate.

Cut Stack also contains 50mg Drostanolone Propionate (Masteron). This is a DHT derivative which is fast acting and quickly broken down. It has the benefit of being immune from aromatization (conversion to estrogen) therefore water retention and fat deposition do not present themselves as issues to be dealt with. Since it is a strong androgenic it assists training strength and aggression – which can often be lacking in dieting athletes. It also produces a noticeable increase in muscle density and hardness – attributes necessary come contest time.

The final ingredient in ‘Cut-Stack’ is Trenbolone Acetate. This is a highly anabolic substance and provides the ‘missing link’ when it comes to quality gains. Many athletes who use testosterone only cycles fail to maximize their muscle growth due to the imbalance between androgens and anabolic substances. When highly androgenic, moderate/low anabolic substances are used exclusively there is a tendency to develop tendon and ligament damage due to reduced collagen synthesis.

Trenbolone also exhibits anti-estrogenic properties due to its unique chemical structure and its ability to completely occupy the estrogen receptor. Athletes also benefit from Trenbolones ability to shuttle nutrients into muscle highly efficiently leading to extremely high quality muscle gains.
So, as you can see, with all this going for it, it is not hard to see why this ready-made stack is so popular. Basically, it takes the guess work out of contest prep or – if you do not intend entering the competitive arena – it assists you in creating the leanest most impressive muscle growth with the least worry about side effects.

Of course, due to the nature of the compounds employed, susceptible individuals may encounter the usual acne, hair loss, increased aggression associated with steroid use. However, when used properly this formula is relatively easy on the liver and should prove more tolerable to the system than some ‘home-made’ stacks.

 The effective dosage for ‘Cut -Stack’ (as recommended by the manufacturers) is 150-300mg every 1 – 3 days.

This is part of a continuing series provided exclusively by MuscleSport Mag giving information on a variety of performance-enhancing drugs for educational purposes.

(Testosterone blend: 30mg Testosterone Propionate, 60mg Testosterone Phenylpropionate, 60mg Testosterone Isocaproate, 100mg Testosterone Decanoate)

Sustanon 250 is an oil based injectable testosterone blend. Its popularity lies in the fact that it presents the user with a blend of four different testosterone esters: Propionate, Phenylpropionate, Isocaproate and Decanoate. This allows for a fast yet sustained release of testosterone which stays active in the system for around three weeks.

The Propionate and Phenylpropionate esters are the first to be released in the system and take effect within the first four days, whilst the Isocaproate and Decanoate remain active for two to three weeks respectively. This supplies the user with the obvious advantage of more sustained testosterone levels throughout its active life – unlike the shorter activity of other testosterone products. However, despite this fact, some athletes choose to inject Sustenon at a dose of 250mg every seven to ten days. As with all drugs, higher doses have been reported with some using 750-1000mg/week but this is not advisable since side effects are likely to increase hand in hand with dosage.

Talking of side effects, you can expect all the usual testosterone related ‘suspects’ to manifest e.g. oily skin, body/facial hair growth, premature balding and elevated estrogen levels which can also produce noticeable water retention. However, due to its slow and sustained release, Sustanon 250 does seem to aromatize (convert to estrogen) at a lower rate than other testosterones. There are always going to be some individuals who are more susceptible to estrogen conversion than others and therefore the addition of an anti-estrogen such as Nolvadex may be necessary.

Sustenon will also suppress natural testosterone production so it may also be necessary to add HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) and/or Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) at the conclusion of your cycle in order to avoid a hormonal crash. Keep in mind the fact that Sustenon will remain active in the body for up to a month after your last injection, therefore HCG or Clomid use should be delayed by two or three weeks until your blood androgen levels begin to display a significant decline.

STACKING TIPS: Athletes whose focus is gaining size and strength should find that adding orals such as Anadrol 50 or Dianabol produces the desired result.
Meanwhile, those seeking a harder, more defined, look should look to Trenbolone or Winstrol as a supplementary drug.
