Dynabol Profile
(Nandrolone-Cypionate)
Dynabol is one of the numerous Nandrolone based steroids we have at our fingertips and in high supply; it’s been this way for years as the Nandrolone hormone has remained a staple in steroidal supplementation for decades. Holding strong performance and therapeutic uses, this is one of the premier steroids used to combat anemia; especially anemia of renal Insufficiency; both referring to a low red blood cell count with the latter due to kidney failure. Also used to treat muscle wasting diseases and sometimes osteoporosis, from a therapeutic standpoint you should already be able to see how Dynabol might benefit you in-regards to performance. First and foremost is increased muscular endurance and muscle tissue growth, and while this is a steroid that holds many other benefits those two remain primary. Of course, Dynabol’s abilities can also be seen in a performance medicine capacity; a somewhat new breed of steroidal supplementation that uses the hormone to rejuvenate patients in a performance enhancing capacity but at a therapeutic level. You bet, it is still considered somewhat of a grey area of medicine but the results have proven to be tremendous and well worth your attention. All of this will be understood as we take a thorough look at the compound, and with that in mind, let’s dive in.
Dynabol 101:
Nandrolone-Cypionate is an anabolic androgenic steroid commonly sold under the trade name Dynabol. As are all Nandrolone based hormones, Dynabol is a 19-nortestosterone (19-nor) progestin in nature based anabolic steroid; 19-nor referring to the testosterone hormone having the carbon atom removed from the 19th position. As by its natural existence, Dynabol as do all Nandrolone compounds carries an anabolic rating of 125 and an androgenic rating of 37. Such ratings are all derived and measured against testosterone; testosterone carries an anabolic rating of 100 and an androgenic rating of the same. As you can see, this tells us Dynabol is slightly more anabolic, but as is sometimes the case its androgenic rating can be misleading. The nature of the Nandrolone hormone is not all that androgenic; however, in many cases, androgenic traits tend to appear at a higher rate than other steroids that carry a similar androgenic rating, and this is precisely why this steroid is not recommended for women.
Beyond its ratings and progestin nature, Dynabol is an anabolic steroid that aromatizes; it does not aromatize heavily, about 20% the rate of testosterone, but this 20% will play a role in side-effects as we’ll see later on. A rather slow acting steroid, Dynabol is a Cypionate ester based steroid, and as such carries an active half-life of approximately 12 days; this tells us its initial activity will be slow, but its total active duration quite extended. In any case, most will find this steroid needs to be applied once per week for therapeutic needs, with two equal sized injections for performance enhancement.
Then we have the steroids primary traits, and this is where things will start to get a little more interesting. Dynabol carries six primary traits that will encompass the brunt of this steroid’s benefits; six traits that it carries with tremendous power, and two that are largely exclusive to the Nandrolone hormone. The six primary traits are listed below, and with them you’ll begin to see how truly powerful and beneficial Dynabol can be.
• Increased IGF-1: Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 or IGF-1 is a potent peptide
hormone that is essential to our endocrine system; produced by the liver, it
affects nearly every cell in the human body. Highly anabolic, IGF-1’s effects
works on the cells in our muscle tissue, nerves and even lunges, cartilage and
bones; as you can see, it’s quite extensive and tremendously powerful. In any
case, through Dynabol supplementation, the total production increases, thereby
dramatically enhancing the total anabolic atmosphere.
• Enhanced Nitrogen Retention: While IGF-1 plays an important role, this is one
of the key elements when it comes to this steroids ability to promote tissue
growth as well as maintenance under stress. All muscle tissue is comprised of
16% nitrogen, and the more nitrogen we retain the greater our anabolic
environment; translation, we can build more lean tissue or preserve more lean
tissue without the fear of tissue loss when the body is under stress. As you
might expect, a nitrogen deficiency will result in a catabolic atmosphere.
• Increased Red Blood Cell Count: While the first two traits represent why
steroids like Dynabol are sometimes used to treat muscle wasting diseases, this
red blood cell factor is the precise reason it is used to treat varying forms of
anemia; after all, there’s nothing better for curing a low red blood cell count
than applying something that increases this count. Of course, this is very
performance beneficial too, as this increase means an increase in muscular
endurance; it’s a simple concept. Red blood cells carry oxygen to and through
the blood, and the more red blood cells there are the greater your bloods
oxygenation.
• Increased Bone Mineral Content: one of the unique traits of Nandrolone
compounds, this simply refers to the structural enhancement of the skeletal
structure, and is one of the primary reasons it can be used to treat
osteoporosis along with the collagen synthesis trait. This trait along with the
below is also a large reason this steroid has such remarkable healing properties
as mentioned above in-regards to tendons, ligaments, joints and actual muscle
tissue.
• Increased Collagen Synthesis: Much of what was said about bone mineral content
can be said here as these two traits work together. Collagen is the primary
protein of all connective tissues, even the connective tissues inside the
muscle; as a result, we have healing and relieved joints as well as healing and
rejuvenation anywhere collagen plays a role; enough said.
• Increased Metabolic Rate: Supplementation of Dynabol simply results in a
greater metabolic rate and this is largely due to the strong promotion of a
powerful anabolic atmosphere. No, Dynabol will not directly promote lipolysis,
it doesn’t bind strongly to the androgen receptor, but it will still provide a
significant metabolic boost.
The Benefits of Dynabol:
The primary benefit of Dynabol is fairly easy to see; muscle tissue growth; however, it’s tremendously important to recognize a few things. Muscle tissue growth can mean quite a few things to many different people, and it by no means implies a mass monster. If mass monster type growth is what you desire, you bet this steroid can help you get there; in-fact, this will be one of the best steroids for such a cause. Even so, some may only want a little growth; think of it in the light of toning up and getting into better shape, and once again, this steroid can serve you well. With Dynabol, as is with any anabolic steroid the rules of nutrition do not go flying out the window just because you’re using an anabolic steroid; in-fact, anabolic steroids are largely dependent on the foods we eat. In any case, if you want to grow you have to eat to grow, and if you don’t want to be a mass monster, well, this isn’t rocket science; don’t eat like a mass monster.
While tissue promotion is Dynabol’s primary trait, a close second is recovery and rejuvenation; simply put, you’ll heal faster, and this can apply to training in the gym, brutal sporting competition or any stressful activity you put your body through. As healing will be enhanced, as you will be rejuvenated faster than you would without Dynabol supplementation you’ll be able to perform at greater level that allows for more work to be done and more progress to be made. Then of course the muscular endurance factor as well as the metabolic enhancement, and both can be invaluable. Through enhanced muscular endurance, you won’t tire out as fast, and once again, more can be done and more progress can be made. As for metabolic enhancement, this can mean more lean tissue can be gained with less fat accumulation as well as more body-fat lost with less lean muscle mass loss; of course the direction you go will be nutritionally dependent, but both possibilities are there.
The Side-Effects of Dynabol:
Dynabol, like all anabolic steroids carries a few possible side-effects; this is not unique to Dynabol or anabolic steroids, but is a trait all things carry that we put into our body. Think about it; every last prescription and over the counter medication on earth carries some type of side-effects; NSAID painkillers like Aspirin kill more than 16,000 people every year in the U.S. alone; no, anabolic steroids don’t even come close; try zero deaths per year. Even so, there are possible side-effects and you need to be aware; you need to recognize them, understand them and then take the necessary steps to avoid them. The possible side-effects of Dynabol are listed below, and each one is conjoined with what you need to know to ensure successful supplementation.
• Gynecomastia: As many know, aromatizing steroids carry the greatest risk
for gynecomastia, and as Dynabol only aromatizes slightly you’d think the risk
would be low; if you’d like to believe this you’re more than welcome to, but you
would be wrong. It is true, we’ve stated it doesn’t aromatize heavily, but it
does carry a strong progestin nature, and this too can cause gynecomastia. Men
who are sensitive to gynecomastia will need to take precaution with progestin
based steroids, but when you couple this with an aromatizing nature, even though
its low almost all men will need to take precautions. For this reason, the use
of an Aromatase Inhibitor (AI) such as Anastrozole (Arimidex) or Letrozole (Femara)
is highly advised; for the record, Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators
(SERM’s) like Tamoxifen Citrate (Nolvadex) and Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid) are
not AI’s, they’re SERM’s and will not work when progestin based gynecomastia is
at hand. In any case, and AI and proper use is guaranteed to protect you.
• Excess Water Retention: While progesterone can play somewhat of a role, it’s
not that large of a factor; think about it, no one carries water with Trenbolone
based steroids and they’re progestin based. Even so, water retention is a real
possibility with Dynabol, and it is due to its slight aromatizing nature. Once
again, an AI will protect you, but so will ensuring your diet is clean.
Overeating is the best way to hold water, especially overeating carbohydrates,
and when aromatizing steroids are in play it can get worse. Control your diet,
use an AI and don’t think you need eighty-billion carbs per day and you’ll be
fine.
• High Blood Pressure & Cholesterol: We have put these two side-effects together
for a reason, because without question they are largely dose and lifestyle
dependent. If you run high doses, both blood pressure and cholesterol run the
risk of increasing, and if you follow and unhealthy diet and lifestyle the risk
is all the more; in-fact, your diet and lifestyle choices may play the biggest
role of all. Of course, aromatization can have an adverse effect as well, and as
such an AI will once again help; however, proper doses, proper diet and a proper
lifestyle will do more than anything else.
Beyond the above, Dynabol is also extremely suppressive to natural testosterone production; in-fact, it’s the only guaranteed side-effect. Due to testosterone suppression, your testicles will atrophy and lose a little fullness, and if you do not take the right steps you will fall into a tremendously unhealthy low testosterone condition. For this reason, the use of exogenous testosterone is paramount; the form is of no concern; all that matters is you provide your body with what it essentially needs. If you do this, you won’t have any issues, and while exogenous testosterone supplementation isn’t going to help with testicular atrophy, all is not lost. Once your Dynabol use is complete, as well as the use of all anabolic steroids, and once all the exogenous hormones have cleared your system things will return to normal. Your natural testosterone production will begin again, and your testicles will return to their normal size; assuming you had properly functioning production before supplementation begin and did nothing while on cycle to severely damage it.
