Anadrol actually reduces fat - interesting study!

[Juice Authority]

I came across this study and I thought I would share the news. Apparently this study shows conclusive proof that Anadrol reduces fat mass.

Effects of an oral androgen on muscle and metabolism in older, community-dwelling men.

To determine whether oxymetholone increases lean body mass (LBM) and skeletal muscle strength in older persons, 31 men 65-80 yr of age were randomized to placebo (group 1) or 50 mg (group 2) or 100 mg (group 3) daily for 12 wk. For the three groups, total LBM increased by 0.0 +/- 0.6, 3.3 +/- 1.2 (P < 0.001), and 4.2 +/- 2.4 kg (P < 0.001), respectively. Trunk fat decreased by 0.2 +/- 0.4, 1.7 +/- 1.0 (P = 0.018), and 2.2 +/- 0.9 kg (P = 0.005) in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Relative increases in 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) strength for biaxial chest press of 8.2 +/- 9.2 and 13.9 +/- 8.1% in the two active treatment groups were significantly different from the change (-0.8 +/- 4.3%) for the placebo group (P < 0.03). For lat pull-down, 1-RM changed by -0.6 +/- 8.3, 8.8 +/- 15.1, and 18.4 +/- 21.0% for the groups, respectively (1-way ANOVA, P = 0.019). The pattern of changes among the groups for LBM and upper-body strength suggested that changes might be related to dose. Alanine aminotransferase increased by 72 +/- 67 U/l in group 3 (P < 0.001), and HDL-cholesterol decreased by -19 +/- 9 and -23 +/- 18 mg/dl in groups 2 and 3, respectively (P = 0.04 and P = 0.008). Thus oxymetholone improved LBM and maximal voluntary muscle strength and decreased fat mass in older men.

I've read your interesting threads JA and I am going to take Dbols along with Abombs for a total of only two weeks. I'll post my results. I believe that only 2 weeks of high dbol and abombs dosages are MUCH safer than guys here writing of taking Winny or dbols for 8 weeks.

JUICE...

that's what i've been telling people all along but got flamed like hell.

the ultimate cutting cycle in my book is sustanon/anadrol.

in the right dosages and a strict diet and exercise routine you can acutally reduce fat signficantly while building muscle.

sure, while on test and anadrol you'll look bloated but when they cycle is over and all the water dissapears you'll be left with some pretty solid muscle and less fat than you can imagine!

good read bro.

 

[Stillgoing]

Yup. I keep telling bros that want to know a good pre-contest cycle to include anadrol. It allows you to lose fat, and you don't hold water on it like you might from test. You can run it right up to the show and it will keep your strength intact.

I never disagreed with you on that. The jury is still out on your Sustanon frontloading theory but I agree with about Anadrol. Anadrol blows me up pretty good but post-cycle I seem to be a lot more shredded than before I started the cycle. Anyway, I thought I'd see if I could find some evidence of that, which shows Anadrol does in fact reduce fat and here is.

 

[satchboogie]

lol.

hopefully i wont be proven guilty.

good stuff bro.

by the way.....

those mugs are filled with myoplex, not beer!

 

[ROIDRANGER]

PROP & DROL--did wonders for me...shredded, hard & strong...

 

[Sigmund Roid]

true, some bros I knew were also ripping up for a show with drol, and believe me, they were ripped as hell, and no bloating.

I hate to burst your bubble on this amazing find, but any steroid will have an affect on LBM when given to men, especially ones whom are 65 with low testerone as it is.

Excuse me? Who the hell asked you for your opinion anyway?? I found the study of interest and I thought I'd share it here. Do you have a problem with that??

He's right on the money JA. Obviously any androgen is going to have a positive effect on LBM gains. Just because anadrol makes you retain water, doesnt mean it makes you fat. I don't think he was trying to be a dick.

Yeah, no shit. The part about Anadrol having a positive effect on LBM gains is obvious. What isn't so obvious is the part of the study that shows a reduction in fat mass. No one here is claiming that Anadrol makes you fat but the study I posted shows the opposite effect.

This is a good post for Nelson who says there is no such thing as a cutting cycle... Too bad he doesn't post anymore, he had a lot of knowledge.

That's what I thought when I read it, too. Too bad they didn't do a study on younger, physically active men.

 

[Bulldog_10]

It should also be noted that HDL decreased in the groups using the anadrol.

 

[Juice Authority]

Too bad they didn't do a study on younger, physically active men.

Agreed. That would definitely show more conclusive evidence but I think the results of the test, even though the test group was older men, are thought-provoking nonetheless.

 

[Juice Authority]

Good point since Winstrol effects HDL levels in the opposite direction, at least according the blood work I had done after a Winstrol only cycle.

 

[Ttokkyo Jack]

Even though the study was done on old men, I still believe that aas will reduce fat in younger males, all other things constant.

That was the purpose of posting it here. It definitely sparked my interest and seemed to be in contrast to what I had formerly believed to be true about Anadrol and AAS in general.

 

[ikedani]

I rember reading a study done on men 65 or older, maybe part of that same study, where nandrolone, Testerone, and anadrol where given. All increase LBM, and had a somewhat negative affect on HDL, but anadrol lowered it on average by 20-soemthing points. Not good, although I love anadrol.

I think I may have taken what you said above out of context. If so, I apologize.

 

[ikedani]

I may have a problem with wording my statements, it could have came off as an insult.

 

[Juice Authority]

No problem Bro, my bad.

i got 100 ampules of sustanon that he's still on the board... just a differnt username!

 

[T Bone]

Interesting post.

I really want to blame the fat loss on the increased LBM, period, regardless of the vehicle.

How do you stop from retaining water while on Drol? I've never used it before, but from what I've read, drol makes most people hold a ton of water.

 

[DEEZEL]

I have 30 tabs of drol waiting for me, I can't wait. Also, right now I am taking 40mg of d-bol ED and 500mg of Sus a week. The first two weeks I blew up 10lbs and then I added in Nolvadex at 10mg ED and since then I have gained weight slower but I am getting strong as hell and I am ripping up like crazy, looking better than I ever have. I know it sounds weird, sus and d-bol... cutting. But I swear I am ripping up nicely. I think if you added in some Nolvadex with the drol you would get the same result. What do u guys think?
