Drostan PActive ingredient: Drostanolone PropionateAlso known as: Masteron, Mastebolin, Drostanolone Di-Propionate, Masteroxyl, Masto PActive lifespan: 2-3 daysDetection period: 3 weeksThis steroid is extremely popular among competitive bodybuilders and is often deemed crucial for contest preparation.Effects of Drostanolone Propionate: * Muscle Growth
As a bulking agent, Masteron's muscle-building effects tend to be relatively mild. It may provide mass gains similar to those from Primobolan Depot, though its effectiveness will depend on a sufficient overall dosage. However, the increase in size is generally modest compared to many other anabolic steroids that are better suited for bulking. Some individuals might include Masteron in their bulking plan for its anti-estrogenic properties and fat-loss effects, which could help manage fat gain during off-season bulking; however, this isn’t essential, as body fat can typically be controlled without it. Anti-estrogenic effects are often needed during off-season cycles that involve significant aromatization due to high testosterone doses.
* CuttingMasteron’s effects are most visible during cutting cycles. However, to truly appreciate these effects, the user needs to be very lean. This is why Masteron is commonly used towards the end of bodybuilding contest prep cycles when the individual should already have a low body fat percentage. Including Masteron at this stage can assist in shedding that last stubborn fat while enhancing muscle definition. Its anti-estrogenic qualities will further enhance this look. For individuals who are not lean enough, Masteron’s effects may be less noticeable. Those at or below 10% body fat are more likely to see some results, achieving a firmer, dryer appearance; however, effects may be minimal for those above 10% body fat.* Athletic EnhancementAs a powerful androgen, Masteron can provide strength gains for athletes. It is particularly useful for those on a calorie-restricted diet, helping them maintain the necessary body weight for their sport.* Enhanced PerformanceUsers might experience moderate strength increases and slight improvements in recovery and muscular endurance without significant weight gain.Side effects: no estrogenic side-effects; potential issues include acne, accelerated hair loss in predisposed individuals, and increased body hair growth; there may be HDL cholesterol suppression and elevated LDL cholesterol, elevated blood pressure; virilization in women (such as increased body hair, deepened voice, clitoral enlargement, and menstrual irregularities); hepatotoxicity is minimal, but testosterone suppression can be significant.Usage instructions:
The typical dosage of Masteron for adult males ranges from 300-400 mg per week, which usually translates to an injection of 100 mg every other day for a duration of 6-8 weeks. Some might opt for a daily injection schedule instead, but every other day is generally adequate.
For female athletes, a dosage of 50 mg per week is typically sufficient for a total of 4-6 weeks. Some women may tolerate doses closer to 100 mg weekly if they respond well to the hormone. However, exceeding 100 mg per week or using it for longer than 4-6 weeks is likely to lead to some virilization symptoms.
