What is Winstrol?

hou059 · 25-Oct-04, 12:36 PM

Okay I feel kind of silly asking this but what is Winstrol. I have been asked by members in the gym on several different occasions if I am taking Winstrol. I assume it is a sort of supplemnt? Hell, I don't take anything other than my protein whey. Any one know what this crap is? Now I am just curious to know what it is people think I am on? Being a personal trainer should I know what this stuff is?:confused:

oh crap, sorry about that. I just realized I posted in the progress pics section. Can a moderator move this to the nutrition folder, thanks!

I don't know for sure, but from what I hear people say about it, I think its a steroid that helps you get ripped..

hou059 · 25-Oct-04, 01:11 PM

Yeah, that was my first guess as well. Nope, I don't take any juice!

Yes, it's a steroid and popular at that. Did someone offer it to you or something?

Actually yeah, it was offered to me but before it was I had been asked a few times if I were on it. I've heard some pretty messed up things regarding it, from weakening joints to it drying out your tendons...uh yeah tendons don't have very much elasticity if they are dry ya know but I was wondering if these are common side effects from using Winstrol or abusing Winstrol? :confused:

Well I can't say for sure about whether or not Winstrol is the only drug that causes drying of the joints and tendons but it can happen. I don't think that it needs to be abused in order to do so either BUT, that could depend on the person. Either way, it has it's place in bodybuilding but isn't exactly the very first choice. Most people have sworn by deca and dbol for decades and still do. I wouldn't go the steroid route anyhow though.

thanks for the repsonse, yeah that's what I am thinking as well. I consider it cheating in a way and to be honest it feels really good when people ask what I am on and I am able to them nothing. But I wanted to check to see what other people thought of winny, thanks bro!

Make sure you go into the appropiate forum and talk to too some guy that really have a good knowlegde of it.

I know of one person who abused winstrol and has gone through hell and back with his health and his liver is pretty much on it's last.

Please be careful.

Talk to Ironman, or Lee those guy know hell of a lot.

Good luck to you.

thanks for your concern Bronco but I am not going to take it. Yeah it sounds good, the benifets of Winny but there is a lot to risk and it's contradicting ya know. To do drugs to improve your physique??? People who care about their body work out, eat right and eat clean then go off and stack steroids like there is no tomorrow??? I've come along way since started taking care of myself and know I just need to be more disciplined when it comes to my diet inorder to drop the BF%,so yeah although I think Winny could help me lean out and drop body fat, there is simply more risk than reward.

It's true, the risks are just too great for the reward. I don't understand it either about a person eating clean, working out and then taking steroids. It's a hair hypocritical. If anything it's an oxymoron. Winstrol is used alot since it doesn't aromatize (turning into estrogen) and the bloat is minimal compared to the other stuff you can take. I think that's why it's so popular but, the stuff is very hard on your system. There are precautions you can take but alot of people who get into juicing don't take the time to find out what something can do to their body. Either way, good choice not using it. You can't live without a liver.

LOL, yeah I think I pretty much need my liver for survival. It is hypocritical but like your signature reads "Do what it takes to get what you want" People will do anything to get that perfect body...I'll do what it takes just so long as it doesn't set me back in anyway.

Yeah, I should make an ammendment to my sig. that says "...within reason". lol

hou059 · 03-Nov-04, 09:55 AM

naw dude your sig is cool, it's just something that goes with out saying though. You'd expect people to be good to themselves and not load up on juice for the benifit of having that six pack or shedding those last few pesky pounds of body fat. Do what it takes to get what you want, i like it!
