MASTERON
Substance: Drostanolone propionate
Masteron is a steroid highly valued by
competing bodybuilders. The great popularity of this injectable steroid
in bodybuilder circles is due to the extraordinary characteristics of
its included substance. Drostanolone propionate is a synthetic
derivative of dihydrotestosterone. This causes the Masteron not to
aromatize in any dosage and thus, it cannot be converted into estrogens.
Since Masteron is a predominantly androgenic steroid, the athlete can
increase his androgen level without also risking an increase in his
estrogen level. This results in a dramatically improved hardness and
sharpness of the muscles. One must, however, make a distinction here
since Masteron does not automatically improve the quality of muscles in
everyone. A prerequisite is that the athlete's fat content must already
be very low. In this case Masteron can then be the decisive factor
between a smooth, flat muscle or a hard and ripped look. For this
purpose Masteron is often only used during the last four weeks before a
competition so that the muscles get the last "kick." Masteron
is especially effective in combination with steroids such as Winstrol,
Parabolan, Primobolan, Oxandrolone and also Testosterone propionate.
The usual dosage taken by athletes is around 100 mg three limes per
week. Since the substance drostanolone propionate is quickly broken down
in the body, frequent and regular injections are neces-sary. This fact
makes Masteron a very interesting steroid when dop-ing tests must be
passed by a negative urine analysis. Since the pro-pionate substance of
drostanolone does not remain in the body very long in a sufficient,
detectable amount, athletes inject the com-pound with great success up
to two weeks before a test. However, since it also has anabolic
characteristics and thus helps the buildup of a high-qualitative muscle
system, the use of Masteron is not only limited to the preparation stage
for a competition. Athletes who want to avoid water retention and who
readily have a problem with an elevated estrogen level, likewise
appreciate Masteron. Also in this case usually one ampule (100 mg) is
injected every second day. In combination with Primobolan, Winstrol or
Testosterone pro-pionate no enormous strength and weight gains can be
obtained, only high-quality and long-lasting results. Although women do
not use Masteron very often some national and international com-peting
female athletes do take it before a championship. The dosages observed
are normally 100 mg every 4-5 days.
Masteron is not hepatoxic so liver damage is quite unlikely. High blood
pressure and gynecomastia are not a problem since neither water nor salt
retention occurs and the estrogen level remains low. The main problem
are acne and a possible accelerated hair loss since dihydrotestosterone
is highly affinitive to the skin's androgen re-ceptors, in particular,
to those on the scalp. Since Masteron, in most cases, is not
administered in excessively high dosages and the in-take, at the same
time, is limited to a few weeks, the compatibility for the athlete is
usually very good. The Masteron package with two ampules costs between
$30 and $40 on the black market.
