Thread: Powerlifting and winstrol

    Powerlifting and winstrol

    In your experience, is it stupid to train as a powerlifter (speedpulls, heavy singles etc) on winstrol only?

    I know alot of strongmen that use winstrol but reading about it its not recommended to speed athletes.

    What u think?

    I've no personal experience, but from everything I read winstrol REALLY dries your joints out and this will make tendons more brittle and thus prone to injury. So in that regard, explosive, fast, training i.e. powerlifting is an accident waiting to happen... again, I've no experience of this, however, common sense tells me it is a bad idea going on everything I've ever read about this compound.

    I would strongly assume as part of a stack to offset the joint issues associated with Winstrol, as opposed to solo!

    Kinda what I thought most of u would say, thanks none the less Starting to think maybe i could use winstrol to gain some mass and then after the cycle start to train for strength with the "new mass".

    Are you running it with test in a cycle or planning on taking it solo?
    It is known as a "cutting steroid". I am sure you can build muscle with it, no doubt, but not the same kind of size you would achieve with test for example.

    Again, I have no experience, but just from everything I've ever read about this compound.

    I think anavar would be a better choise than winstrol for this.

    I would not be using winny for power lifting.

    No cutting required in that sport.

    Bulking cycles, like test/deca/d-bol or drol. IMO.

    Strength and joint/tendon is needed.

    Best

    I would not do winstrol without running deca.

    Strength gains aren't that great with winny.......so many better options.

    IMO.. Aside from doing more research on better compounds to utilize for your sport..

    I would say a SUST/NPP/Drol cycle would be a great powerlifting to start while bulking up to hit heavy numbers then a short Blast of TestP/TrenA/Halo for 6 weeks leading up to a meet would be a excellent way to hammer the numbers good... and make sure to utilize cheque drops day of competition..

    Now this is only after you have become a well seasoned AAS user and a decent PowerLifter (depending on weight class I'd say at least with your 3 lifts totaling a minimum of 1500lbs. -- That's a 550 Squat, a 500 dead, and a 450bench... pretty good place to start if you are at least in the 200-220lbs OR HEAVIER Range..


    *Taken from my experience in PL*

    Typing this just made me realize how much I miss it... maybe I should start training for a meet to do this year as I am bulking.. hmm.. I won't need to cut down at all.. Awesome bro.. Thanks for thread.. Gave me some thinking to do.


    Yah so do some research, get some decent simple cycles under your belt..start training heavy... then consider what I outlined above.. but tailor doses to your needs/tolerances/goals.

    tnx again folks

    But what is NPP??

    NPP = Deca with a short ester so it kicks in fast but needs to be shot ED or EOD
