So, I'm starting to look a little more into my cutting cycle, and I was considering running Masteron, until I read this.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get my body fat down before then, but I know I will still have a ways to go.
That was the whole idea of the cutting cycle.
Masteron (2a- 2a-methyl-dihydro-testosterone propionate) is a derivative of DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
In medicine, Masteron is not used like other anabolic steroids for weight and strength gains among patients with wasting diseases.
Clinically, Masteron is prescribed to combat certain types of breast cancer. Masteron is often used along with Nolvadex (Tamoxifen) to treat breast cancer tissue prior to chemotherapy.
So we have a non-traditional steroid that is used in the treatment of breast cancer in women.
Does this drug have any effects that would be of interest to male models or bodybuilders? Absolutely!
Masteron is an amazing and unique lean muscle building and hardening drug. It is definitely in the top two drugs for building lean muscle tissue.
Masteron is five times more androgenic (meaning the steroid properties that control the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics such as body hair, genitals and muscle mass) and bonds to the receptor sites in your muscle tissue at least three times better than testosterone!
Working as a derivative of DHT, Masteron is the preferred pre-contest/physique modeling drug for improving muscle density, hardness and vascularity.
For about 5 weeks before a bodybuilding contest or a photoshoot, athletes and models will use Masteron at a dose of 100mg every other day.
At this dosage, Masteron is great for cutting up.
However, there is a catch. You should really only use Masteron under special conditions. That special condition is that a model or athlete already has a low bodyfat percentage.
Masteron works best for a bodybuilder or physique model who has already achieved the leanest physique possible, ideally with a body fat percentage in the single digits.
If you are truly lean enough, with body fat in the single digits, then adding Masteron to an anabolic steroid cycle will truly set you apart from the rest of the crowd.
Plus it will help you land that physique modeling gig or win that first bodybuilding competition with razor sharp cuts and vascularity.
How does Masteron work?
Well first off, Masteron will not aromatize to estrogen or progesterone at all - preventing any water retention and puffiness.
In addition, Masteron will lower your natural estrogen levels and actually block the aromatization (conversion) of other steroids into estrogen.
This is a good thing since, as men, we want to keep our estrogen levels low.
Masteron is so effective at blocking aromatization that you may not need to take an anti-estrogen if you include it on a steroid cycle.
The benefit here is that an androgenic cycle becomes much more anabolic if you can stay on it for a prolonged period of time without the use of an anti-estrogen.
And lowering your natural estrogen level makes it impossible for you to retain water, gain fat, or watch chick flicks!
A common cycle for physique models would involve a little Masteron injected every other day combined with a testosterone or possibly trenbolone acetate. Winstrol, Masteron, trenbolone acetate, and testosterone propionate are the 4 best cutting steroids around. However, unfortunately, in the US, they are not legal for cosmetic uses, even if you are working with your doctor. There is, however, a safe and highly effective legal supplement that possesses many of their properties and it is taken orally, but it's pretty hard to find and fairly expensive - although nowhere near the cost of the 4 steroids I mentioned here.
Here's how I would rate Masteron on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst and 10 the best.

"However, there is a catch. You should really only use Masteron under special conditions. That special condition is that a model or athlete already has a low bodyfat percentage."
So, do you guys know if this is correct? If so, then I need to start looking at something else.
I'm in the early stages of planning this, but I was thinking:
Test Prop
Materon, Winny, or EQ
Albuterol (I like that it has a shorter half-life than Clen)
Maybe some Anavar for an oral, but I have Tren/Epi prohormones. (I don't have to take them though.)
Everyone has me afraid of Tren because of all the sides.
I also plan on running peptides/IGF, but I'll get to that later.
I imagine my bf% will still be close to 15-20%, so I'm gonna need a lot of work.
I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks
