Dynabol
(Nandrolone Cypionate)
Dynabol Description:
Dynabol, a.k.a. nandrolone cypionate, is an anabolic androgenic steroid that was clinically developed for the treatment of severe wasting disorders such as advanced HIV and refractory anemias. As its name indicates nandrolone cypionate is a member of nandrolone family of steroids like its more popular relative Deca-Durabolin (nandrolone decanoate). As such it shares many of the family characteristics, thus much of what can be said for Deca holds true for Dynabol as well. Like testosterones, the primary difference between nandrolones, is the nature of the attached esters (discussed later).
Dynabol possesses a modified removal of the carbon atom from the 19th position, with an anabolic and androgenic ratio of 125:37, meaning it is highly anabolic (muscle building) and moderately androgenic (affecting male sex characteristics). Due to Dynabols chemical structure, its interaction with the aromatase enzyme causes only slight aromatization (testosterones conversion to estrogen), at about 20% the rate of synthetic testosterone, so estrogenic side effects are not a major concern with its use. However, Dynabol is a progestin so rare side effects are still possible, especially impotence if testosterone is not stacked with it.
Dynabol Form:
Dynabol is an oil-based solution for intramuscular injection. Manufactured as an Australian veterinary drug, it comes in 50 mg/ml doses, most often sold in 10 ml multi-dose vials. Nandrolone also comes in powder form, which can be converted as desired.
Dynabol Indications/Purpose:
Nandrolone is a very popular anabolic steroid used by both bodybuilders and athletes to promote muscle tissue building processes, inhibit catabolism (muscle destruction), and stimulate erythropoiesis (red blood cell production).
Nandrolone is most commonly found with a cypionate, laurate, decanoate or plenylpropionate ester. Briefly explained, the ester determines how much of the given hormone is released over a period of time. Longer esters such as decanoate peak slowly and release over approximately ten days, whereas shorter esters such as the phenylpropionate peak more rapidly and have shorter half-lives. Shorter esters usually release much more active hormone per mg than longer esters and more rapidly evacuate your system. Dynabol, NPP and Deca release nearly identical amounts of active nandrolone, which is typically used in "bulking" cycles, but they also work well in "cutting" cycles.
Like the rest of the nandrolone family, Dynabol has a number of benefits for bodybuilders and athletes as it: increases levels of IGF-1 in muscle tissues; increases brain serotonergic amines levels, the chemicals that contribute to aggressive behavior which could help you to train harder thereby improving power, speed and overall results; increases the number of androgen receptors and; possesses a mild dose dependent fat reduction benefit. Additionally, nandrolones stimulate red blood cell (RBC) production which: improves endurance during exercise via better lactic acid clearing and oxygen delivery; carries more nutrients to working muscles for greater stamina; promotes better muscle glycogen restoration after exercise to speed recovery and; alleviates joint pain.
Nandrolone is a very adaptable compound that can be easily incorporated into all types of cycles, during both your bulking and cutting phases of training. When used within mass building cycles its usually stacked with Testosterone and/or powerful orals like Oxymetholone (Anadrol) or Methandrostenolone (Dianabol). In cutting cycles its combined with short-ester injectable anabolic steroids such as Testosterone Propionate and Boldenone Acetate, and/or with DHT-derived orals like Stanozolol (Winstrol) and Oxandrolone (Anavar).
The most commonly stacked dosage of nandrolone is 200-400 mg per week, a range that should provide you with quality muscle mass. Just as with Deca, Dynabol takes three to four weeks of repeated dosing before relevant peak levels are reached, and a little longer to notice any of its mostly minor estrogenic or progestational activity. Dynabol users should inject twice weekly, which is often enough to keep blood serum levels well above baseline with this particular drug.
Dynabol Side Effects:
Since its a progestin (as are all nandrolones), it stimulates the progesterone receptor, as well as progesterone itself which opens the door for some unwanted side effects. As with any form of anabolic steroids, it can possibly cause side effects which fall into two primary categories, estrogenic and androgenic.
Dynabols very low aromatization means you can expect to be virtually free from estrogenic side effects (those due to increases in estrogen estradiol, prolactin, progesterone or progestin) which generally include increased water retention, body fat gain, and gynecomastia (actually due to an imbalance in the testosterone to estrogen ratio).
Androgenic side effects, those having to do with male sexual characteristics, occur due to elevated testosterone levels which are likely to produce oily skin, acne, body/facial hair growth, and testicular atrophy (temporary reduction in the size of your testicles). Androgen drug use of any kind is also known to accelerate balding, but only in men with a genetic predisposition for hair loss. In other words, if youre losing or going to lose your hair then testosterone supplementation can speed up the process, but it is never the primary cause of hair loss.
Synthetic testosterone and several other steroids, including nandrolones will shut down natural production altogether. A mere 100 mgs per week of either of these takes about 5-6 weeks to cause this shut down, 250-500 mgs shuts you down by the second week, and it takes roughly a month to return those testosterone levels to baseline.
