Winstrel - a curiousity...

[arch stanton]

Me: 37 y.o. - in basically good shape and healthy -- but...

Please tell me I'm crazy - and I'll believe you -- or tell me I'm not - and I'll give it a bunch more thought.

About 5 years ago I did a cycle of injectable Win. I was working out a lot and eating very healthy and I got ripped.

Within a year - I need a hip replacement -- and need the other one down the road as well. I had 1 already last year.

I live in NYC, have great insurance - and saw some great doctors -- all of which said the Win had nothing to do with it and pointed out other risk factors I had.

Cardio is tough - since doing anything might aggravate my other hip faster.

But I can work out in general and do all the time -- just not legs and not real intense cardio.

I also has testic cancer - but that was before I ever took the Win.

I got my hands on some more - and really want to take it and get back in much better shape -- but am obviously scared.

Some feedback telling be to dump the stuff would be appreciated -- or any other thoughts. I'm in no rush despite it being Summer - haha -- but want to know if I should just say discretion the better part of valor or not?\

Thanls in advance

I think your doctors are sugar coating if they tell you that winstrol had nothing to do with that. It's pretty much the only steroid linked to joint deterioration.

You don't need steroids, let alone winstrol. Focus on alternative forms of cardio such as tire flipping and sledgehammer work.

yeah, winny is BAD on the joints, it's the first steroid that comes to mind when you say "dry steroid". no estrogen whatsoever means no water retention whatsoever. i really doubt that ONE cycle would hurt you as much as you think it did, i've never heard of that much damage coming from it...

 

[Lopez]

swimming is the best form of cardio by the way. no pounding on the joints at all. and no, i don't think you should cycle the winny again if you had a hip replacement, i'd stick to wet compounds, not to mention they're better for your heart (considering estrogen has a favorable effect on lipid profiles)

You can also do rowing, like half an hour or more, on a low resistance for cardio if you are looking for something that totally avoids your legs/hips. Trust me an hour of a row machine IS some intense cardio. And no legs necessary at all! No excuses to not be doing it now.

You have had testicular cancer, and are afraid that you destroyed your hip the last time you took Win. Why the FUCK would you take it a second time? Even if that wasn't the cause, mentally you have made it the culprit and will be SHOT psychologically from repeating what you feel WAS the cause, which wil then manifest physically anyway.

How can you even consider doing what you blame a second time? As well, you said youre already in shape and are in no rush and dont need it, so why do you want to do it still? Bass ackwards logic amigo.

Winstrol will fuck up your joints. I decided to run some out of curiosity. I stopped after a few weeks. I was literally moving like an old man and my joints felt like a rusty fucking steel door. My hands were in constant pain.

Winstrol isn't a steroid you use and workout a lot on. You cannot lift hard on that steroid without doing some damage, especially at your age.

Secondly, the only steroid you run alone is Testosterone. Other steroids such as Winstrol need a little Test as a base.

Throw the fucking Winstrol out. You have testicular cancer and your hip is fucked. You are in no condition to use steroids my man.
