Ok, I have a few questions:

I am thinking of using 50mg of anadrol with 25mg of winstrol (as has been described in several threads here) mainly to boost strength but also mass.

If running these compunds for a few very short cycles, say two weeks duration, what would be the risks?
would gyno be likely? Should I use nolva during the cycle?

I am 34 years old, weigh 92kgs, no previous steroid experience, diet is relatively sound.

Keep the Nolvadex readily available, but don't incorporate it unless you begin to experience gyno symptoms.

Whether it is likely or not will depend on how prone you are to aromatisation, although both of the compounds you're running have a low risk of causing flare-ups. In fact, neither have ever caused any for me, even at high doses.

Aside from gyno rearing its ugly head, I'm not sure what you mean by 'risks'. Just be reasonable, and grant yourself some time to research.

Everything in moderation, including moderation. -- Harvey Steiman

well from the beans research files 50 percent of people who use abombs get gyno so hell yes there may be some problems anyway there both c17alpha aylkalated steroids anadrol is severly toxic winstrol is toxic terrible idea even if you took milk thistle to keep your liver detoxed bad bad idea i dont want to see any one fuck themselves up on roids and this is a good example of how dumb shit happens the judge

I have read up and down about anadrol being very hepatoxic. However, in two week cycles at 50-100mg I don't believe that my liver would suffer too much. Even when stacked with another oral.
The liver can take just about anything for two weeks.

The main risk I am concerned with is developing gyno. There seems to be a lot of differing opinions about anadrol. From what I've read most agree it can't aromatize, but that it activates the estrogen-receptors directly (So aIs won't work).

I know dbol aromatises and that many use nolva and/or arimidex to combat this.

I guess my question is: If you'd choose between anadrol+winstrol and dbol+var, which combo would make avoiding gyno easier (at similarily effective dosages)?

Not to be cheeky but would really prefer answers from people who have actually tried these.

balisong, I will be doing the exact same cycle as you and had the exact same concerns about the gyno. I'll be doing 100mg anadrol with 50mg winnie for 2 weeks on, 3 weeks off, and will do that about 4 times or so. For the first two weeks I may only take 50mg of anadrol just to see if there are any sides. I read that the combination of the two won't produce much in the gyno department but everyone reacts differently. I'm just going to see how it goes. If I start getting gyno within the first couple of days I'll obviously have to stop taking it and figure out something else. Anadrol and winnie are faily cheap so it won't be too much of a loss for me.

Yes I have read some old posts by Bill Roberts in which he claims that anadrol makes estrogen-related sides worse when combined with aromatising steroids. He says anadrol by itself (or with a non-aromatising steroid such as winstrol) is much milder than many believe.

I will keep nolva handy I guess. I won't be doing this combo until may, I have som tbols to eat before then, but do report on your results if you start before me.

Hey no one is going to listen to you.
It's obvious to the most retarded dipshit on earth, that you don't have a fucking clue "bean". So save yourself some energy and just retire the old computer and keyboard and go out while you're still "on top", at least in your own mind.

Balisong, I'm one who has tried both. There was no comparison for me. Every time I have used the drol/win combo, (4) it's been a winner all the way with no sides.
Dbol and var gave me hints of gyno symptoms as far as nip hardness and mild bloating.

Dosage was: 100/50-A/W, 50/80-D/AV.

Everything to me was better with the A/W, and I'm estro sensitive too. The gains were more keepable, (2/3), and strength was better. The bloat was very minimal, but I was low carbing also, which I would recommend to you as well to some degree while on. You may remember my logs on this. 2 on, 2 off, up to 3 consecutive. I did one solo, two back to back also. Either scenario produced solid and high quality gains for an oral only especially.

We've been over this and the synegistic, side diminishing relationship between the two (A/W), many times now. A search will bring some informative threads right up if this doesn't answer to your satisfaction.

This is how you help someone "Judge" Ahole, real experience and legible writing and explaining. Not the idiotic crap that spews from your mouth.

Hey there Vinnie mac,

I wouldn't do that if I were you man.
The damn winstrol isn't going to do anything gyno wise at all, and wtf? It's part of the reason the chances are low for the gyno fairy to bite you in the ass when taking these, so why the fuck wouldn't you take it with the drol?
It makes zero sense to me, but I guess if you want to try and get it then it is the way to go. That's the cycle both together, so if you aren't going to take it solo, and I wouldn't, then what are you doing it for?

Give it a thought man.

It can potentially trigger other effects while not directly binding to the Androgen Receptors, so the answer to that is both "yes" and "no." Also, who says you can't use an aromatase inhibitor? It's common knowledge that with an Anadrol/Winstrol cycle (and most cycles), you should.

I know dbol aromatises and that many use nolva and/or arimidex to combat this.

I guess my question is: If you'd choose between anadrol+winstrol and dbol+var, which combo would make avoiding gyno easier (at similarily effective dosages)?

In short: Anadrol + Winstrol would be less likely to trigger gyno.

Thank you InTheZone and Contrl, exactly the kind of info I was looking for!

Contrl, i seem to remeber having read that anadrol won't aromatise to any degree, so an aromatase inhibitor such as arimidex would be ineffective in preventing gyno. Nolvadex would be the only solution according as this blocks the estrogen-receptors. Anyway can't remember where I read it, so maybe I'm getting things mixed up.

Nolvadex is a SERM, which stands for Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator. It, like Arimidex, acts as an agonist/antagonist in that it inhibits estrogen from binding to receptors. The difference between these two compounds is that one selectively binds to specific tissue (namely the glandular tissue in the case of Nolvadex), while the other (Arimidex) has a broader physiological effect. By no means does Nolvadex thoroughly block estrogen receptors through and through.

The purpose of adding an AI to this specific Anadrol/Winstrol cycle would be to minimize the inherent bloat that comes from Anadrol (Oxymetholone). There are also various reasons why not to use Nolvadex during cycle, but I won't get into those.

TB, I think you misunderstood what I was saying... and now that I re-read my post I realize that it wasn't clear. What I meant to say is that instead of taking 100mg anadrol and 50mg of winnie for the two first weeks, I might try to take only 50mg anadrol AS WELL AS the 50mg of winnie just to see how that goes. Then, if all goes well, I'll up the anadrol to 100mg on my second cycle. Is that OK? Or am I being to paranoid about this? :oP

I'm so touched that you were so concerned about me :oP

Hahahaha!!

Ahh, very good then. Yeah that certainly makes sense now. I tried to read it carefully and a couple times but just didn't see that. Good to go then my good man.

No paranoia in my opinion, smart thinking and better safe than sorry. I believe you'll be fine either way, but by all means go with what you're saying first buddy.

I have used Anadrol multiple times and never had any flare ups (not saying you wont because many do). You need to see how your body reacts to it.. All i got from 100mgs/day was some aching in joints and some appetite supression.

Even with all these posts of helpful informaion I would still go and read a few profiles on Anadrol to get a better idea on what you're about to take. Because based on your questions it doesnt seem like you've done too much researching.

Well, actually I have done a lot of reading on anadrol. I have read the steroid profiles and searched through a lot of boards.

However, there's a lot of cut and paste going around, and MANY seem to just repeat what others have written before them without actually having tried anadrol themselves.

Those who have actually tried it doesn't seem to think anadrol is quite the uber-evil steroid that some others make it out to be. Anyway, I will definetely be carefull and will start with 50mg anadrol (+winstrol) at first to see how I react.

Ok, I found this at bodybuilding.com (Big cats anadrol profile):
"With the estrogen increase of course comes the increased risk of more side-effects such as gynocomastia (growth of breast tissue in men). Therefore its always advised that a cycle of oxymetholone is accompanied by the use of an anti-estrogen such as Nolvadex. Nolvadex, keeping in mind that aromatase enzyme is not involved, would be the wiser choice as it blocks the receptor for estrogen rather than the aromatase enzyme. Its wise to note as well that the gains from oxymetholone are largely mediated by estrogen, so reducing estrogen may reduce results as well."

and from the arimidex profile:
"As mentioned, arimidex is an ancillary that is supposed to be stacked with aromatizing steroids in order to stop all formation of estrogen. Its seemingly very potent, so doses of 0.5 to 1 mg are enough. Some claim that 0.25 mg is enough, but for anyone doing any sort of serious cycle, I would not advise less than 0.5. These steroids are, without exception testosterone, nandrolone, norethandrolone, boldenone and methandrostenolone. And all of their derivatives as well. The drug oxymetholone (anadrol) has estrogenic effects as well, but they seem to be the result of oxymetholone's acidic A-ring activating the estrogen receptor by itself, rather than by conversion to estrogen. So Nolvadex would be more advisable in that case. To understand the whole story, I refer you to my profile on Anadrol."

So, according to him arimidex would work great with drugs like dbol or testosterone, where test aromatises into estrogen, but not so well with anadrol where there's little if any conversion to estrogen. Here, the blocking of the estrogen receptor itself should be more efficient?

Steroid profiles such as big cats have led me to believe that arimidex is an aromatase inhibitor, and that the SERMs (clomid, nolvadex)are not, and that their actions are quite different. Still I see what you say about arimidex also reduces waterbloat, so maybe it would be good to have it on hand.
