If you’re familiar with bodybuilding drugs, then you probably already know that Oxymetholone is one of the most powerful compounds around for adding sheer mass to the body. Let’s dive deeper into this drug and learn a bit more!
Q: What sort of gains should one expect to see with Oxymetholone?
A: An immediate weight gain is seen in just about everyone who tries Oxymetholone. We’re not talking the two pound variety. We’re talking about overall bodyweight gains of 15 to 25 pounds in a single 12 week cycle. This eclipses the gains to be expected with any other single steroid. While it’s true that a fair share of this weight will be fat and water, you will gain more muscle with Oxymetholone than with any other single steroid. However, the side effects will be just as powerful.
Q: How does Oxymetholone affect me, chemically?
A: Your blood volume will increase. Your red blood cell count will jump. This does allow for greater pumps, which will please many bodybuilders. If you have a minor or even a major case of anemia, Oxymetholone will actually take care of it!
Q: Is Oxymetholone a drug I can use at any time in the bodybuilding calendar?
A: Keep this drug out of your pre-contest regimen. Off-season, it should be used to kickstart a cycle containing testosterone and/or Nandrolone. Always use post-cycle therapy (PCT) compounds such as Nolvadex after a cycle of Oxymetholone.
Q: I’m worried about the great water retention seen with Oxymetholone. Any recommendations?
A: Yes – stop worrying. Yes, you aren’t going to look exactly cut during this time, but that won’t matter when you cycle off the Oxymetholone and begin cutting. Remember, this isn’t a compound which should be used pre-contest. Additionally, as your strength will skyrocket, your joints will suddenly be forced to tolerate weights 20% or more heavier than what they have previously been using. Oxymetholone is very useful for lubricating the joints. This alleviates pain both during the workout and in the dreaded days afterwards.
Q: What are some of the negative side effects to be expected with the use of Oxymetholone?
A: As stated, water retention is a cosmetic issue. The internal problems to the organs are far more serious, and a good reason why Oxymetholone should mainly be used in very short cycles by bodybuilders who are young and healthy. Anyone who is over the age of 35 or 40 who has experienced any health problems (particularly hypertension or high blood pressure) should run from Oxymetholone. Users of Oxymetholone should always have a complete blood panel taken before, during, and after their cycle. There will be an expected rise in transaminase enzymes in the liver. Some users also experience jaundice. Users who see a yellowing of the skin should halt use immediately, as the permanent damage they are inflicting will not be worth any short-term gains. Tumors of the liver may follow if use continues. Externally, some temporary sides such as stomach ailments (nausea, diarrhea or vomiting) as well as acne may occur.
