Description
Turinabol is a steroid chemically similar to methandrostenolone, but it features an additional chlorine atom at the fourth carbon. This modification results in a compound that doesn’t cause the estrogenic effects associated with methandrostenolone, such as fluid retention.
Without the rapid water retention seen with methandrostenolone, the gains in strength and weight during a Turinabol cycle are slower but considered more solid and permanent by athletes. Due to its inability to undergo aromatization (thanks to the chlorine atom), Turinabol avoids side effects like fluid accumulation and gynecomastia.
During a Turinabol cycle, the concentration of SHBG decreases, leading to an increase in free testosterone levels. Some research suggests Turinabol may also reduce the risk of blood clots. Additionally, it is informally known as the “sex drug” for its notable effect on increasing libido.
Effects
- Promotes increased strength and muscle mass without water retention
- Improves recovery
- Increases glycogen levels
- Enhances appetite
- Boosts libido
- Lacks aromatization and estrogenic effects
Side Effects
- Suppression of natural testosterone production
- Reduced fertility
- Potential for erectile dysfunction after withdrawal, which can be managed with antiestrogens like Clomiphene or Tamoxifen
- Increased blood pressure
- Elevated cholesterol levels
- Possible androgenic effects, such as hair loss and acne
- Liver toxicity due to alpha-17-alkylation
Dosages
- Beginner: 20-40 mg/day
- Average: 30-50 mg/day
- High: 50 mg+/day
Turinabol can be used for both bulking and cutting cycles. A typical cycle for beginners is 40-50 mg/day for 6 weeks, leading to high-quality muscle gains and improved speed-strength results. Athletes focused on speed and endurance (like runners, boxers, and MMA fighters) usually take lower doses of 10-20 mg/day. Note that Turinabol has been problematic in anti-doping controls due to long-lived metabolites detectable for six to eight months.
