Structurally stanozolol is not capable of converting into estrogen. Likewise an antiestrogen is not necessary when using stanozolol , gynecomastia not being a concern even among sensitive individuals. Since estrogen is also the culprit with water retention, instead of bulk produces a lean, quality look to the physique with no fear of excess subcutaneous fluid retention. This makes Winstrol a favorable steroid to use during cutting cycles , when water and fat retention are a major concern. This drug is also very popular among athletes in combination strength/speed sports such as Track and Field. In such disciplines one usually does not want to carry around excess water weight, and may therefore find the raw muscle-growth brought about by Winstrol quite favorable over the lower quality mass gains of more estrogenic agents.

For men the usual dosage of Winstrol is 15-25mg per day for the tablets and 25-50mg per day with the Winstrol injectable (differences based solely on price and quantity). Stanozolol is often combined with other steroids depending on the desired result. For bulking purposes, a stronger androgen like testosterone, Dianabol or Anadrol is usually added. Here Winstrol will balance out the cycle a bit, and give us good anabolic effect with lower overall estrogenic activity than if taking such steroids without it. The result should be a considerable gain in new muscle mass, with a more comfortable level of water and fat retention. For contest and dieting phases we could alternately combine Winstrol with a non-aromatizing androgen such as Parabolan or Halotestin . Such combinations should help bring about the strongly defined, hard look of muscularity so sought after among bodybuilders. Older, more sensitive individuals can otherwise use winstrol in a stack with  Deca 300, Primobolan or Equipoise when wishing to stack Winstrol. Here we should see good results and fewer side effects than is to be expected with standard androgen therapies.
