Application and dosage of Stanozolol
The solo course is carried out by athletes to obtain relief and vascularity, as well as to increase strength indicators. In other words, this course is suitable for people who have sufficient body weight with a moderate fat content.
- The optimal dosage is 30-50 mg tablets or injections every day. Athletes and boxers usually use lower doses – about 10 mg / day.
- The duration of the course is approximately 4-6 weeks. With an increase in the duration of the cycle, the risk of side effects increases, primarily affecting the joints.
- After the end of the course, PCT is necessary in 2-3 days.
- For maximum effect, take sports nutrition for relief.
It should be noted that many experienced athletes recommend using stanozolol only in combination with testosterone. This approach reduces the risk of side effects, in particular, significantly reduces the likelihood of a detrimental effect on the joints: testosterone retains fluid in the body, preventing the joint bag from dehydrating. In addition, testosterone can significantly increase the effectiveness of the Stanozolol course.
