As Stanozolol (winny) is one of the very last anabolic steroids used during any cycle, it's often stacked with other compounds that should be running low by the time the user gets to this point. This does not mean that stanozolol should only be used at the end of a cycle however; especially if you are also using Equipoise (boldenone), which many experience great results when stacking these two together for 4-6 weeks.
Generally speaking, Winstrol Cycle stacks will revolve around either cutting or bulking plans due to this steroid being relatively ineffective in both areas otherwise. Even though it can be successfully incorporated into athletic cycles, most who supplement with Stanozolol do so for physique related purposes. In either case, you will find the steroid is only a small part of a cycle as opposed to the focus.
Winstrol Cycle Cutting:
When we refer to cutting with Winstrol, it's important to note that this does not mean "bulking and cutting." You may not be gaining large amounts of muscle mass during a Winstrol cycle but you won't be losing much either; rather, they'll typically maintain their lean tissue with some minor fluctuations due to water based weight gain from the steroid.
It is however very possible for some lean tissue loss if they are coming off a long period of anabolic steroids which had been supraphysiological in nature, most notably testosterone or trenbolone; which can be very suppressive to natural testosterone production.
Winstrol Cycle Bulking:
Bulking is where the majority of Stanozolol's use lies; it has nothing to do with its original purpose as an oral form of DHT for treating angina, but rather steroid users found Winstrol stacked well with many other compounds. When stacking Winstrol, most will stack it with either Testosterone (propionate or enanthate) or Trenbolone (enanthate or Acetate); both are used commonly and offer great results.
The objective here isn't to gain pure mass like you might with Dianabol because Stanozolol won't do by itself, nor does it build mass quickly like testosterone can; it instead, is used to fill out and round off physiques. Also, the water retention associated with Winstrol will help keep your joints feeling better if you're experiencing joint pain during a cycle.
Winstrol Cycle Stacking:
While Stanozolol can be successfully stacked with many other anabolic steroids , it does work well alone, especially if using Equipoise (boldenone) as your first injectable steroid. Some of our top selling combinations are listed below for reference:
Another extremely popular stack is Testosterone-Enanthate or Propionate along with Stanozolol taken twice weekly for 6 weeks then dropping the Stanozolol for the last 4 weeks which is referred to as an "attack" protocol.
Winstrol Cycle Protocol:
Regardless of purpose, for bulking or cutting if you're running stanozolol correctly you will need an aromatase inhibitor (AI) to combat possible estrogenic related side effects; this will be based on your body's response however. If your natural testosterone production has shutdown due to excessive use of anabolic steroids, it would be wise to come off all hormones until natural levels return before supplementing with Stanozolol.
This isn't only because the first source of testosterone should always be endogenous; but also, because Stanozolol can increase SHBG causing other steroids in your cycle run the risk of becoming inactive.
Regardless of your purpose, as a general guideline the average male should dutifully run Stanozolol at 50mg-100mg per day for no more than 8 weeks; this is assuming you're supplementing with other steroids and not coming off. If doing an "attack stanozolol cycle" which we explained above, it would be wise to increase that dosage to 150mg-200mg per day for 4 weeks then drop again thereafter.
As far as PCT (post cycle therapy) goes, if you've supplemented with Winstrol only and have come off all hormones prior you won't need one; but if you've supplemented with numerous other steroids or ran a high dose of Stanozolol , a PCT is mandatory. If the latter of the two, a good PCT protocol should include a SERM such as Nolvadex and/or clomid or nolvadex along with HCG.
Winstrol Cycle Doses:
While 50mg-100mg per day for men is normally safe, women should always run Winstrol much lower; 5mg-10mg per day tops even when running longer cycles. When it comes to children, this is where things get very complicated because you will not find (with current literature out there) any one particular dose that fits all. However, for grooming purposes if using in an "off-label" fashion in adolescents I'd stay on the low end of the spectrum, meaning 5mg-10mg per day.
Winstrol Cycle Results:
People supplement with Stanozolol for a multitude of reasons, not limited to fat loss , strength increase , appetite stimulation , increased red blood cell count (which can improve endurance) and increased metabolism . When stacking it's also common to see improved insulin sensitivity which indirectly is good for promoting muscle gain . Due to its low hepatotoxicity rating in most cases Stanozolol is considered one of the safest anabolic steroids on the market for healthy adult men.
Winstrol Cycle Side Effects:
As already explained, Stanozolol carries with it very little hepatotoxicity so liver damage isn't too much to worry about. Also, due to being a DHT derivative Winstrol is not thought to cause much if any hair-loss as many other C17-aa anabolic steroids can. Hair loss and acne, however, are usually the most common Winstrol side effects to combat; normally you'd need an Aromatase Inhibitor or 5-alpha reductase inhibitor such as Finasteride.
If running a short cycle just for the purpose of experiencing steroid side effects you'll need a SERM such as Nolvadex which would be used up until completion of your cycle.
Winstrol Cycle Detection:
The detection time for Stanozolol has been reported by numerous studies and sources as approximately 4-6 weeks. This means if you supplement responsibly, perform PCT and keep doses at a moderate level Stanozolol should not be detectable in your system after this time period post-cycle.
Winstrol Stacking Info (what to stack it with):
As already mentioned, Stanozolol is normally dosed on its own; but if stacking you can stack with all-in-all, almost any compound. People will even stack Winstrol with more than one steroid at a time (very common) and some of the most popular stacks include Testosterone, Dianabol, Anavar.
To keep strength high while decreasing possible water retention , trenbolone makes an excellent Winstrol partner; as does Primobolan Depot. When bulking, both Deca Durabolin and Equipoise are popular choices however many other steroids be added into that stack or substituted. Moderate bulking doses should remain around the base range of 50mg-100mg per day for 6 weeks or longer; but keep in mind, if stacking with Dianabol you will need to stay at the low end of that scale due to how highly it is to aromatize .
Winstrol Stacking Info (what NOT to stack it with):
Any C17-aa steroid , again, must not be stacked with other 17-aa steroids or it will cause liver damage. Also avoid stacking with any hormone which suppresses your natural testosterone production such as certain Nolvadex stacks can do. Anti-E's are always a good idea however when stacking stanozolol If running an "Attack Cycle" (bulking) Winstrol has to be the primary steroid in your stack because it's not very good at suppressing natural testosterone production; this means you will need to take HCG immediately post-cycle or risk losing gains.
Also, when stacking with other steroids avoid taking any estrogen related drugs such as aromatase inhibitors . These will work against the effects of stanozolol and may cause gyno .
