Ok, first the disclaimer, I am not a doctor or anyone else that you should be listening to for advice on anything. As always with anything I write you should remember the adage about free advice. Having said that I think that these are some very good arguments against these particular steroids and would welcome other opinions.
Halotestin, AKA Halo, chemical name fluoxymesterone.
This one come into vogue once in a while and you will see people adding it to stacks as a hardener. This is really a stupid practice, all other considerations aside it doesn’t harden or lean you out that much to start with, it will give you some good strength increases and drastically increase your aggression (in some people this is very pronounced) but it is actually less effective then other items that are ether non-toxic or far less toxic. And speaking of toxic it is 10 to 20 times more liver toxic then Oxymetholone (Drol) mg per mg. The sole semi-legitimate use is for competitive weight lifters that are not drug tested and can’t afford to gain any weight. The best summation I have seen about this is from Big Cat
Note that he says that anadrol is more dangerous, that is only true given the relative differences in the dosage (10 to 20mg a day for halo and 100 to 200mg a day for drol.). And this was written before M1T.
Anadrol. AKA Drol, chemical name Oxymetholone.
This is always a popular steroid as nothing else will put on mass faster. There is however a heavy price in terms of side affects. What bothers me most about this steroid though is that there is a safer, and nearly as effective drug that readily available, namely Dianabol (Dbol). You only have to run maybe a quarter of the dosage of anadrol and it is no more liver toxic mg per mg. It also has less side affects. It may not be as powerful as anadrol but it is far safer, not to mention pleasant as anadrol tends to make you feel sick and kill your appetite while dianabol can actually make you feel good (some people still get sick from it though). My other argument against anadrol is the simple amount of it you have to take for the effective dose. 100 to 200mg a day is equal to 700 to 1.4 grams a week. You could run twice as much test and get nearly the same gains and still be healthier then use the anadrol. You would in fact be better off raising the dosage on you inject able steroids and using dianabol instead of the anadrol. This is just not a drug that can really be justified in using given that there are better alternatives.
Methyl-1-testosterone, AKA M1T
The name is something of a misnomer as 1- testosterone is not accurate chemical depiction. How ever that may be 1-testosterone proved to be a fair steroid in its own right despite absorbs ion and delivery problems. Then someone got the idea of methylating the 1-testosterone and M1T was bone. In a nutshell this stuff works and works well, it is more potent then fluoxymesterone while bring good mass building into the equation. It is also one of the harshest steroids ever made. It is more liver toxic then halotestin (just how bad has been the subject of much debate) while having sides not unlike anadrol. It is so harsh in fact that many users cycled it in 2 week intervals to reduce the damage. M1Ts main claim to fame is that it was once a legal pro-hormone. As it is no longer legal (or will not remain so) there is just no reason to use this. However many people stockpiled this stuff and feel compelled to use it. This is again a case of having a wide array of better and safer options.
Cheque Drops, AKA Mibolerone.
If you don’t know what these are then you haven’t hung around the old school long enough. The most powerful steroid ever it is so toxic that even a few mg a day is a fatal dose. The only real use is to induce roid rage before an event. That’s it. No real value beyond that if you can call it value. I really should not even have to mention this one but it has shown up in the last couple of years and still is used in boxing and other such sports. Good way to kill yourself.
Methyl-testosterone
It has about 3 to 4 times the sides of Dianabol with about the same effect. Enough said.
Winstrol, AKA Stromba, AKA winny chemical name Stanozolol
I think I am going to get flamed for this one but I can back this up. Stanozolol is popular for mainly its hardening effects. It’s great for cutting. Unfortunately it has a great many side affects not all of which are immediately apparent. The obvious ones are the joint pain and dryness. Stanozolol dries you out bad, this causes joints to lose there lubrication and can cause serous damage especially if done too much. One of the not so obvious sides is the tendency to weaken the connective tissues. The irony here is that it does so by increasing the collagen production along with increasing the size of the tendons and ligaments. The problem is that it decreases the cross linking of the protein structures. This makes for large brittle tendons. Not to mention the strain on the joints due to the lack of lubrication. All this while you’re getting stronger then ever. Not a good deal.

With the exception of perhaps anadrol, Halotestin is the single most dangerous steroid to use. Its liver toxicity is unrivaled and you wouldn't be the first person to end up in the hospital with jaundice and dangerously elevated liver values after a hefty cycle of fluoxymesterone. My question has often been simply "Why?". Fluoxymesterone has a low anabolic capacity. The results in mass would be small to non-existent. Qualitatively similar gains as one would book with trenbolone, but tren would go for equal or less money, deliver three times the gains and wouldn't be half as risky to use. Therefore the sole marked use of fluoxymesterone that is actually warranted is that by power- and weightlifters seeking to boost strength while remaining in a set weight class.
