well, I am sure but there must have been some other reason for 20mg of anavar giving iamcnd liver "pings" . . .
I have done a heap more 17aa's than that at once and not had any liver probs. . .did you have any pre-existing problems with your liver iamcnd?

winstrol in my book is a much more potent drug for strength gains. I have done both and in my experience it is just not financially feasable for most guys to run anavar at a dose that is high enough to get good gains. . .whereas winstrol will give great gains at just EOD shots. . .

bro it wasn't me with the liver pings, it was snatcharelli...

where did you read the study on that, I would be interested to see it. . .Deca etc make the joints feel better because they load the area with more water and so it is just transient relief in those cases. I personally have not had any joint problems with winstrol when I have taken it so I can't comment on that myself.

It has been a while now. I think I read it in a post on EF (which I no longer post on); either there or at FG. If you are a plat member at EF, you can do a search for "boldenone and collegen" or "HGH and collegen". That should turn up the post and it has references.

Anavar, (Oxandrin), for me at 20mgs/day for eight weeks along with nothing else but 400mgs/Enanthate/week, made me hard as a rock and vascular. But I'll tell you this, it works hard on your cholesterol levels, to the bad side. BB

found this over at CJM. it may be the article you are talking about... either way it talks about collagen synthesis and anavar

--------------------------------------------------
Authour is unknown, from A.S.N. board

While injecting test increases protein synthesis by roughly 50 times, depending on dose and time, most bodybuilders forget that it will reduce collagen synthesis by more than 50% -- more like 80%, giving you the collagen synthesis rate of a senior citizen. Since collagen makes up tendons, bros are very prone to injury if they continue to lift very heavy, unless they cycle off T and let their collagen synthesis get back to normal. It's like having the skeletal muscle of a gorilla with the tendons of a very old man.

Winstrol increases collagen synthesis. It will give you bigger tendons. However, your body compensates for this by making them more brittle, weaker, and more prone to injury. I can't tell you how many bros work out anaerobically and become injured while on winstrol. Guys who lift in the 1-5 rep range while on winstrol, to baseball players who sprint all out from a stationary position -- winstrol should be the LAST drug they choose. Most of them like winstrol because they don't get the weight gain from it but it is very detrimental to bros who train for any sport anaerobically. Tendons tear easily on it.

Also, the drugs I mention increase collagen synthesis while also increasing collagen cross-linking integrity, making for a much stronger tendon.

Winstrol, on the other hand, will dramatically increase collagen syn, but ironically it decreases collagen cross-linking integrity, thus making a much weaker tendon.

You can plan a cycle of AAS which will increase collagen synthesis and skeletal muscle growth at the same time. The key is the drug(s) you choose.

Deca, Equipoise, Anavar, and Primobolan will ALL increase skeletal muscle while at the same time dramatically increase collagen syn and bone mass and density, leaving you with a substantially reduced chance of becoming injured than if you choose to use AAS like sus, cyp, or enth.

While testosterone will increase bone mass and density, even at supra-physiological levels, the result is weaker tendons due to inhibition of collagen syn.

To plan a cycle where the goal is to increase skeletal muscle mass/strength while at the same time increase joint/tendon/ligament strength, enough to keep up with the dramatic increase in skeletal muscle, you must choose drugs like Eq, Deca, Anavar, or Primo as the base of your cycle. Testosterone and its esters can be added to your cycle to keep levels within a 'normal' physiological range (ie, 100-200 mg/wk) but must not go above this. Since drugs like eq, deca, anavar and primo will reduce endogenous, natural levels of test, these levels may be maintained with exogenous test in the 100-200 mg/wk range. Test at this dose will not inhibit collagen syn, but paradoxically, will help increase it. It is when exogenous testosterone is used > 200 mg/wk that collagen syn is inhibited.

Deca @ 3 mg/kg a week(about 270 mg/wk for a 200 lb male) will increase procollagen III levels by 270% by week 2. Procollagen III is a primary indicator used to determine the rate of collagen syn. As you can see, deca is a very good drug at giving you everything you want -- an increase in collagen syn, an increase in skeletal muscle, and increases in bone mass and density. The one thing it does not give you is wood

Primobolan, @ 5 mg/kg, will increase collagen synthesis by roughly 180% -- less than deca and equipoise but still substantial.

Equipoise @ 3 mg/kg will increase procollagen III by approximately 340% -- slightly better than deca.

Oxandrolone has over a hundred studies documenting its effectiveness at treating patients needing rapid increases in collagen syn to enhance healing.

These drugs have longer half-lives than most other AAS, so this should be considered when timing your post cycle clomid use. Here they are:

Deca: 15 days Equipoise: 14 days Primobolan: 10.5 days

Anavar has a half-life of only 8 hours so it should not pose a problem.

GH is probably the most remarkable drug at increasing collagen synthesis. It increases collagen syn in a dose dependant manner -- the more you use, the more you will increase collagen syn. It has also demonstrated this ability in short and long term studies. From what I've read, hGH at 6 iu/day increased the collagen deposition rate by around 250% in damaged collagen structures. This result indicates that the increased biomechanical strength of wounds to collagen structures treated with biosynthetic human growth hormone was produced by an increased deposition of collagen in the collagen structures.

Eq, primo, anavar, and deca are all good -- they increase several biomakers of collagen syn -- ie, type III, II, I, procollagen markers. GH just seems to do so most dramatically.

Use of any of these drugs @ supra-physiological levels with a maintenance dose of test will increase collagen syn while at the same time increase skeletal muscle mass. Skeletal muscle mass gains will not be as dramatic as with large testosterone doses but you have to weigh the risk/reward basis for yourself. Also, these drugs do not satisfy the libido like testosterone, but that is not the point of this thread. It is only to demonstrate that you can increase skeletal muscle and collagen syn at the same time with certain AAS -- the decision is up to you.

iamcdm Thats a interesting article. Anyone know the cure to the not getting wood part of those cycles? Without Viagra or Cialis.
I kind of like to have the urge to ''hump'' I think you know what I mean.

I am going to get my liver checked.

In November I did a short cycle of Winstrol transdermal gel from the compound pharmacy.

After 9 days my liver had some serious pings. I was taking about 45mg day.

I was taking Milk thistle, ALA, Nac and the best Melatonin at night.
Nobody ever mentions Melatonin as a liver protectant, but it has been proven to be extremely potent.(I will probably do a future post on this)

Whereas Oxandrin gave me gains immediately, the Winstrol did nothing. Usually I can tell within the first week with prior(Deca gel, anadrol, ox)

I think I have some poor genetic predisposition.

Why do I think this? Well it is now Feb and my liver still letting me know it's pissed at me.

my experience with those to druge doing them alone each time. winny get you hard and build up speed(running kicking). as for anavar will get you ten times stronger with litttle weight gain and make u hard as a rock.. general stalker
