Anabolic effect
Sustanon 250 is a very “flexible” drug that can be safely used for almost all sports-related purposes. It has an excellent anabolic effect.
Stimulates muscle mass growth – the steroid shows good anabolic activity. It can not be said to be as high as for powerful popular anabolic steroids. Still, the muscle gains from Sustanon are of high quality and the return is minimal.
Increases strength – maintains weight class as weight is minimally affected. Priority option for “heavy” sports: suitable for weightlifters and strength athletes.
Stimulates fat burning – it is immediately worth noting that Sustanon is not the best, but a good enough alternative for those who cut. The drug stimulates the action of enzymes responsible for fat metabolism.
Moderate fluid retention – this provides adequate protection for joints, tendons and direct muscle fibers from any injuries during intense exercise.
Increases appetite – due to the effect on enzymes that regulate androgen levels and increased energy costs. An excellent alternative during the muscle building period.
Powerful anti-catabolic – helps maintain muscle mass, which is important both on a strict diet and during moderate intensity training. Among other things, the drug’s anti-catabolic effect allows you to increase physical activity and at the same time reduce the recovery time.
Increases the level of red blood cells, which activates the oxygen supply to the cells – and thus increases the body’s endurance. It is true that despite this property of Sustanon, it is rarely used by athletes who need increased endurance during competition.
PCT
Letrozole is an atomic inhibitor (estrogen blocker) that stimulates the body to produce its own testosterone.
Cortisol is a steroid-type hormone that regulates carbohydrate metabolism.
Its duration and properties depend entirely on the longest steroid cycle and the dose of Sustanon used. The most important thing is to focus on the right goal – to maintain muscle mass. What to do during treatment after the cycle:
- restore the function of the testicles – first wait for synthetic testosterone to be extracted from the body and then increase the natural level (letrozole can be used for this purpose);
- Normalization of liver function – Cortisol is useful for normalizing bilirubin in the blood:
- Normalize cholesterol levels – plan your diet properly, focusing on fatty fish. The vitamin complex, as well as the intake of omega-3 acids, does not interfere.
- restoration of libido;
Reduce your exercise intensity to lower your cortisol levels.
If the course does not exceed 10 weeks and the dose is 250 mg per week, it is sufficient to take Clomid at a dose of 50 mg / day for one month and then for another two weeks – 25 mg / day.
If the regimen approaches hormone replacement therapy in terms of duration and dosage, a combined regimen of tamoxifen and clomid is likely to be required, as well as a complete set of restorative drugs, including chondroprotectors, vitamins E and B, and gonadotropins.
Side effects
The undoubted advantage of Sustanon 250 can be seen in its “loyalty” to the athlete’s body: side effects in athletes are not as common as with most androgenic steroids. But sometimes there are negative reactions:
- The conversion of testosterone to estradiol – this manifests itself in the form of female body fat, gynecomastia and fluid retention. Fortunately, the unpleasant effect is easily eliminated with a cycle of anastrozole or aromatazine, which blocks aromatase enzymes that convert “excess” of testosterone.
- Androgenic effect – manifested in the form of baldness, hypertrophied prostate. This is often due to the athlete’s genetic characteristics. The problem is eliminated by taking aromatase inhibitors.
- Acne – occurs due to increased oiliness in the skin (this is also a genetic trait of the bodybuilder). The problem is eliminated by changing your diet: the amount of fat and fast carbohydrates decreases. An infusion of marigold or salicylic acid-based products is suitable as a cosmetic.
- Symptoms of a flu-like condition – muscle weakness, sore throat, headache – taking omega-3 acids is an excellent prevention.
- Sealing at the injection site – in most cases, the negative effect disappears without complications in 3-5 weeks. If the injection is done correctly, this problem should not arise.
