MASTERON WORLD

Better known as Masteron, this steroid was first introduced in the early 1970s and was considered to be great for therapeutic benefits and is the original form. Drostanolone Propionate is known as a DHT derivative and cannot be aromatized into estrogen. It also induces a reduction of prolactin levels in the body. Drostanolone is only administered via injections and does not come in oral form.

 

This is the long estered variant of Drostanolone. This was never a pharmaceutical human grade product and is not even commonly listed in many anabolic steroid books. Also known as Masteron Enanthate, it has been affixed with the Enanthate ester on its 17-beta hydroxyl group. Although this steroid is used by bodybuilders and athletes, it is not nearly as popular as Masteron Propionate.

 

Drostanolone Propionate has a half-life of 2.5 days while Drostanolone Enanthate possesses a half-life of 10 days. When speaking in terms of detection time for those who enter drug-tested competitions, Drostanolone Propionate can be detected for up to 3 weeks after the last injection and Drostanolone Enanthate can be detected for up to 3 months. It is worthy to mention that the enanthate version of Drostanolone is rarely ever used.

Masteron Enanthate is a long-estered, long-acting) variant of Masteron, and is best utilized in  longer cycle lengths (upwards of 10 – 12 weeks or longer). Some will run their cycles for shorter amounts of time (for example 6-12 weeks) but this will vary from person to person and depend greatly on his/her goal at the end of the cycle. Another factor to consider when planning a Masteron Enanthate cycle is what other steroids are going to be stacked in the cycle.  It is common for bodybuilders to use Masteron only within the final 2-4 weeks of a cycle leading up to their competition or even photoshoot.  Some users will choose to run this steroid for longer periods of time, even up to 20 weeks.  These cycle lengths are not only for the male athlete but are also for women who choose to use Masteron.

Masteron is very popular and most commonly used in cutting cycles and pre-contest cycles. When cutting, Masteron will not work to perfection on its own without strict dieting and training. When combined with both factors, Masteron has the ability to enhance the body of those who compete. You’ll often see those experienced with steroids stacking Masteron with other anabolics such as Winstrol, Testosterone and Trenbolone (to name a few). Masteron can actually assist the potential activity of these other anabolics when used correctly in a cutting cycle. It is also said that using Masteron during a cutting phase will allow the individual to experience better pumps when working out.

When it comes to bulking cycles, Masteron is not one of the best choices for those looking to drastically increase size. In fact, the effects of this steroid during a bulking phase will be rather weak. Although it is not common to use Masteron in a bulking cycle, there are users who incorporate this steroid into their bulking cycle because they want the benefits of losing fat in addition to the anti-estrogen properties. This will help the individual who wants to avoid gaining weight and fat during the off-season.

Masteron is considered a steroid that is fairly mild when it comes to negative side effects. It is important to note there is always the possibility of side effects when introducing anabolic steroids to the body. The following side effects are possible:

Estrogenic: Since Masteron is a DHT-derivative, it does not have the ability to be aromatized by the aromatase enzyme no matter what dosage is injected. This is a great advantage for those who choose to cycle with Masteron. No estrogenic effects should occur, and the individual should not fear this effect.

Androgenic: Even though Masteron is considered weaker than many other anabolics, the risk of androgenic side effects still exists. Masteron was initially intended to treat inoperable breast cancer in females which explains its lower androgenic strength rating of 25-40 versus testosterone’s rating of 100. Because of this, androgenic side effects can still present themselves with the use of Masteron, especially if the user is more sensitive to androgenic side effects. Oily skin, increased spurts of acne, bodily and facial hair growth and baldness (if already prone to hair loss) are examples of androgenic side effects that may occur. These side effects can occur to both males and females who use Masteron. In addition, women who cycle with this steroid may experience a deepening of the voice as well as enlargement of the clitoris.

Cardiovascular: Masteron may or may not have a negative impact on the cholesterol level of the user. Healthy individuals who use this steroid will most likely not see a huge spike in cholesterol levels, but it is always a good idea to keep these vitals in check. Keeping the diet cholesterol friendly and incorporating plenty of omega fatty acids will reduce the cardiovascular strain of Masteron to the body. In addition, regular cardiovascular exercise is strongly encouraged for a healthy heart and to maximize the benefits of steroid use.

Testosterone: Like all steroids, Masteron can and will suppress the body’s natural testosterone production, although it is not considered the most suppressive steroid. Generally, most if not all steroid users, will incorporate testosterone into any steroid cycle to prevent testosterone levels from dropping too low. Natural testosterone production will begin again once the steroid is stopped or the cycle ends.

Hepatotoxicity: Liver problems are not associated with the use of Masteron since it is not a C17-alpha alkylated anabolic steroid.

The following side effects may accompany Masteron’s intake:

• increased hair loss;
• prostatic hypertrophy;
• high level of aggression;
• acne
• virilization

The steroid has minimal toxic effects on the liver, does not retain fluid in the body, and does not cause a rise in blood pressure.

As we’ve stated previously, Masteron is a relatively mild steroid, so the question that many ask is: “Do I need to take extremely high dosages of this steroid to see results?” With the right steroids in your cycle, individuals can reap the benefits of Masteron at lower dosages as long as the user eats clean and trains on a regular basis. On the other hand, higher dosages of Masteron in a cutting cycle will make a big difference (depending on the individual). That being said, some consider a base of 200-300mg per week of Masteron to be sufficient. Will those dosage work for everyone? Absolutely not! Remember, this also depends on what other steroids are being stacked during the cycle. Other dosages fall between 300-400mg per week while experienced users may up the range to anywhere from 600-800mg per week. Stacking Masteron with other steroids like Winstrol, Anavar and/or Trenbolone will also maximize the effects of your cycle. Women who choose to use Masteron can do so at dosages ranging from 50-100mg per week. Depending on the fitness level of the female and the tolerance level, some users will choose to increase the dosage to get the most out of the steroid.

The length of Masteron cycles will usually fall in the range of 8-10 weeks.  This is mainly due to its short ester nature. It is common for bodybuilders to use Masteron only within the final 2-4 weeks of a cycle leading up to their competition or even photoshoot. Some users will choose to run this steroid for longer periods of time, even up to 20 weeks. These cycle lengths are not only for the male athlete but are also for women who choose to use Masteron.  Experienced steroid users know how important it is to put a Masteron cycle together for maximum benefits and enhanced results.

The solo cycle involves the introduction of propionate three times a week or every other day, and enanthate only once every seven days. Starting any steroid should begin after visiting a sports doctor, undergoing a diagnosis of the condition of the whole organism.  During the entire cycle, it is necessary to take the appropriate tests, making adjustments to the program.  We also suggest using some form of testosterone as the base compound to your solo cycle.

Masteron is rarely ever used on its own.  This compound is known to work much more efficiently and effectively when stacked with other compounds in a cycle.  In its action, Masteron is most similar to androgen receptors.

Most often they use either Winstrol or Oxandrolone. The first is most effective, since its interaction with androgen receptors is minimal. It reduces the concentration of sex hormone-binding globulin, that is, it exhibits a synergistic effect.

To gain muscle mass, Masteron is combined with testosterone propionate. In such a combined cycle, it is recommended to use gonadotropin. This allows you to compensate for the level of endogenous testosterone. The best compatibility of Drostanolone is manifested in conjunction with drugs such as Trenbolone and Boldenone.

There are many steroid users who never run post cycle therapy (PCT) upon completion of their cycle.  But PCT is always highly recommended to help the body recover. Because Masteron does not aromatize and estrogenic side effects are not likely, using Nolvadex following a cycle of Masteron should be sufficient. When looking at how much Nolvadex to take and how long to run PCT, typically 40mgs per day for 4 weeks is the average dosage and length of time.  Other steroid users might consider incorporating HCG into their PCT cycle.  There is no rule when it comes to what you should take.  Some will use both Clomid and Nolva while others will choose one over the other.

As a female athlete and former USBF figure competitor, I’ve used Masteron in two previous cycles. My diet is always on point even during the off-season. Training in the gym up to seven days a week and incorporating cardio along with a well-balanced diet, the results of Masteron were amazing. The vascularity was very noticeable, and my skin appeared thinner and drier allowing for a more defined look to the muscle. I highly recommend this steroid to any male or female who is serious about taking their physique to the next level but would not recommend Masteron to first time steroid users who don’t have the discipline to follow a strict diet and training program and who are not already lean.

Male athlete at age 40. 5 8’ 185-190 lbs. with body fat percentage right around sixteen. At this level of body fat, you can still see the abdominal muscles due to the fact that I’ve been doing this a very long time and have dense old muscle. Trying to drop to under ten percent and into single digit levels is hard to do and requires discipline in every aspect of life. Ramping up the cardio, super-setting and raising the reps to twenty for everything I did worked great. Being that my calorie intake was very low throughout the day and also doing cardio on an empty stomach, sometimes the only way to finish the workout was by forcing myself and doing this isn’t so much fun. Starting cardio twice a day once hitting the single digit mark because I wanted to add the Masteron into the mix at seven or eight percent. Not starting it any earlier than that was a tough thing to do. I started it finally at 7.3% and it worked absolutely amazing. Vascularity was crazy and muscles looked and felt like they were carved from granite. While at the gym training the veins in my arms actually would pop out so much it would hurt. All over my body the skin was super thin with no water between it and the muscle. I ended up getting down to just under five percent and looked crazy ripped. You definitely must train very hard and have a ton of discipline within. If you’re like that and wait to add the Masteron until the point explained, then you will love the effect that this steroid can provide.
