Sustanon and Bodybuilding Part 3

Dose

Sustanon is only administered via an intramuscular injection. It is typically injected in the buttock area every week. The dose of Sustanon usually starts off at 250 mg/week and gradually increased during each cycle. Some athletes use doses as high as 1000 mg/week. Once injected, Sustanon remains in the body for about a month. For the majority of body builders, a dose of 250-500 mg/week should be sufficient.

Side effects

Like all anabolic steroid, Sustanon also has side effects. Even though the side effects are rare, most builders will develop them when the drug is used for a long time. The most common side effects include:

- general fatigue
- mood changes- depression, anger, anxiety, insomnia
- gynecomastia
- hair loss
- impotence
- retention of water
- changes in liver enzymes
- liver masses
- testicular atrophy
- acne, oily skin

The majority of these side effects reverse when the drug is stopped. It is important that all individuals who use anabolic steroids have a follow up with a physician to monitor their liver. Rare cases of liver failure and cancers have been reported.
