I've numbered the issues I will address & am going to try & keep this respectful but forgive me if I cross a line somewhere
1) Scientifically winstrol has been shown to bind less to the AR receptors than traditional bulking compounds like deca, test, anadrol, etc.
Can it help with strength? Sure. Is it going to build good quality muscle to a degree sufficient to say it should be used in bulk cycles? No - a basic study on the pharmacology of the compound will confirm this.
I'm all for getting our diets dialed in BUT don't pretend that the choice of steroid doesn't influence the level of muscle mass gained - read up on the history of steroids & you'll realise that this was one of the reasons why other quality steroids were created outside of plain old test.
Also, critisizing tbone for not providing scientific evidence to back up his statement when your doing the same thing - really? Really??
Your defending winstrol based on your own personal experiences NOT science - think before you preach to others.
2)There are some rules to cycling - using test as a base, not stacking a bunch of orals together, etc.
Again all compounds may be anabolic BUT not to the same degree - you seem really determined to say the gains will be the same regardless if the compounds your running - they won't.
3) The reason members like tbone get frustrated with some STUPID questions is because they have already been answered time, and time, and TIME again.
It is not difficult to read the stickies & use the search bar and find your answers, creating a thread to an already question is plain LAZY - no other way to describe it.
In fact the reason alot of vets leave boards like this is because they get sick & tired of the same issues being discussed.
4) Your example of var vs natty is stupid on so many levels that I can't really begin to describe.
Summary:
Winstrol may have a place on a bulk but based on its cost & benefits offered to muscle gains, its not worth it.
In the future please refrain from bashing another board member for their advice without having solid data to back up yours.
