There’s an oral testosterone steroid known as Spironolactone, and you probably haven’t even heard of it! It bumps up T levels, reduces Gynecomastia, and helps you to get dryer before a show. Let’s learn more about this 25 mg gift from the AAS gods!
Q: I’m scratching my head here. I’ve never heard of Spironolactone. What in the world is it?
A: Derived from testosterone, this drug is used primarily as a diuretic for people in sports and arenas outside of bodybuilding, including modeling and physique contests. However, in the long term, it delivers more than just a drying out of the water not needed by the body. It also boosts testosterone levels in the body.
Q: Is this a normal diuretic?
A: Like many diuretics, Spironolactone reduces your electrolyte levels in order to make the skin appear thinner and deliver a better view of existing muscle beneath the skin. You’ll get the negative side effects as well, including nausea and diarrhea.
Q: You said this was a testosterone drug. What kinds of gains can I expect on it?
A: Small gains in muscle hardness and mass will be seen. Mainly, the drug will help you to keep the muscle you have as the show date looms closer and closer.
Q: Can women use it?
A: Women should never use any drug which raises the body’s testosterone levels in any noticeable way. Doing so would not only be dangerous, but irresponsible in the manner that it can promote virilization. Women will see better results with Anavar or Winstrol anyway, without the testosterone risks.
Q: Does the drug have any medial uses?
A: There are better drugs in circulation for many things this drug does. However, it does deliver some benefits that bodybuilders might enjoy. Some athletes believe it to be quite the effective anti-estrogen. Its ability to bind to the androgen receptor means your chance of fluctuating estrogen levels during and following a cycle are far less – which can limit your exposure to ailments including Gynecomastia.
Q: Can I use Spironolactone as past of a post-cycle therapy routine?
A: This drug might be at its most effective at this time period.
Q: Is Spironolactone an expensive drug?
A: You’ll spend about 50 cents per day nailing down the 75 to 125 mg per day you should be orally consuming at regular intervals to make the most of Spironolactone. Varying delivery tablets sizes include 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg tablets. But in bulk and you should see sixty of the 25 mg tablets for about ten dollars.
Q: So this drug isn’t for the off-season?
A: No. Use this drug for the final one to two weeks before your bodybuilding show. Immediately following a workout, the oral testosterone will help you to recover in this calorie deprived state. It will also make you drier and eliminate any propensity for Gynecomastia that might be occurring at this time. All in all, it’s an interesting and fairly safe drug that you may want to consider for bringing out hardness as a show approaches.
