Important! We do not advocate for the use of steroids and other potent substances. All information is provided so that those who still decide to take them can do so with minimal health risks.

Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin) is an oral steroid that is a derivative of testosterone and possesses very high androgenic activity. In contrast, the anabolic properties of this steroid are expressed quite weakly.

Features

1. Due to the peculiarities of its molecular structure, fluoxymesterone is completely resistant to aromatization, does not exhibit progestogenic activity, and does not significantly stabilize the androgen receptor. All of this makes the drug practically unsuitable for gaining muscle mass.

2. The main application area of Halotestin is the gain of strength indicators by weightlifters when strength is needed without an increase in weight. Sometimes bodybuilders use it in the last weeks before competitions to make muscles harder, achieve better separation and definition, and to lose less muscle mass in the final days before contests.

3. All effects of Halotestin are due to its strong androgenic activity. It induces quite significant aggression. The fear of failing under the barbell completely disappears. Hemoglobin production also increases, which enhances endurance. The time needed for recovery after working with heavy weights is significantly reduced.

Side Effects

As mentioned above, fluoxymesterone is a very strong androgen, so from it you can experience the full set of side effects:

• Oily skin;
• Acne;
• Dandruff;
• Aggression.

Women are strictly prohibited from taking this androgen, as virilization will be noticeable after just one tablet. However, testosterone production will not be suppressed significantly during the use of Halotestin. It is also important to remember that fluoxymesterone is toxic to the liver. Moreover, it is quite potent. Therefore, it is best to keep the liver in good condition during and after the course and approach dosages and course duration sensibly.

Forms and Dosages

The drug is available in tablet form of 5 and 10 mg. Dosages used in sports are 10-40 mg per day. The half-life is 6-8 hours, so it is better to divide the daily dose into 2-3 intakes.

Combining and Intake Schemes

Fluoxymesterone can be taken solo or in combination with such drugs as trenbolone or nandrolone. During the drying phase, it can be combined with trenbolone, primobolan, and boldenone. Combinations with Stanozolol and Oxandrolone will also work well, but it’s worth noting that sometimes the liver should be spared.

Beginner's Solo Course of Fluoxymesterone

The solo course of fluoxymesterone is for strength gains without increasing muscle mass. For beginners in steroid therapy. Tamoxifen is intended solely to minimize the crash after the course.

Course for Gaining Strength and Dry Muscle Mass

Course for Pre-Competition Preparation of a Bodybuilder

An example of pre-competition preparation for a bodybuilder. This course is notable for a wide variety of drugs used, although all are in minimal doses. At the same time, there is no need to worry about effectiveness, as using several drugs creates a synergistic effect, meaning they enhance each other's action.
