Body building
Sustanon has been used widely by bodybuilders in the past. Why this testosterone formulation is preferred by some is not well understood. Some claim that there is less water retention and more muscle build up. However, like all testosterone products, Sustanon is converted to estrogen in the body and can cause gynecomastia and water retention. To get rid of the water many builders also use diuretic medications. Many bodybuilders use a combination of Sustanon, growth home or thyroxin during the stacking phase.
Sustanon is taken for 4 weeks and then a wash out phase is undertaken. During the wash out phase, some athletes take clomiphene, tamoxifen or Arimidex. Because the Sustanon suppresses the hypothalamic pituitary axis, a profound suppression of testosterone synthesis in the body occurs. For this reason it is important to taper off the drug slowly. It is recommended that one take 1-2 injections a month and then stop for a month. During the wash out phase, a mild anabolic steroid can be used, or one can use growth hormone/thyroxin.
The weight gain is gradual but significant. Most builders can expect weight gain of at least 15-25 lbs in 2-3 cycles (months). The other aspect of Sustanon which has been observed is that it can significantly increase exercise endurance and provides for spontaneous bursts of energy. This has been linked to its effect on the red blood cells and the increased oxygen carrying capacity. Others claim that Sustanon can also increase the recovery time following an injury.
Because of its very long half life, Sustanon is best used during the off season.
