Primobolan (Metenolone): 12 things to know before using this awesome Steroid

Primobolan (or Metenolone Enanthate) is certainly not the most commonly used steroid, but it still has an interesting history. A lot of people were talking about it's benefits and how it can provide you with great results. As any other steroid is might also have some side effects, but there are ways to minimize those.
If you would like to learn more about this compound, keep on reading and find out some things that can help you make a smart decision!
1- Metenolone is not as powerful as other steroids
Primobolan is a very mild steroid, so it will have a lot less side effects than other compounds. There are also studies saying that it has anti-estrogenic properties which might be useful for people who are looking for one way to minimize the risk of developing Gynecomastia.

​Besides gynecomastia, Primobolan can also significantly lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels while raising HDL (good) cholesterol levels at the same time! That's definitely an advantage for anyone who wants to stay healthy!
2- You might need to use it for more than 6 weeks
Although metenolone is a very mild steroid, don't forget that you will still need to take higher doses in order for it to help you achieve the results that you want. As with other compounds, don't forget that pain can appear after just 3 days of using Primobolan at high dose.

It's not uncommon either to see people developing acne when using this compound (needless to say, always combine it with anti-acne products in order to make your face look better). So if you plan on cycling it for more than 6 weeks, try adding in some testosterone injectable like enanthate or cypionate. That will help you avoid any potential health issues.
3- You might need to take liver protection supplements
Primobolan is a C17alpha alkylated compound, so it can put a lot of strain on your liver as well as on the other body parts that are responsible for processing toxins from the body. So just like with all other compounds, always remember that taking some supplements can make a big difference! I know most people don't like using supplements while they cycle...

But the truth is, the more advanced your preparation will be, the better results you will see at the end! A good example? Liver support products such as milk thistle or NAC (N-acetyl cysteine). In case you're wondering if those supplements are legit, then think about it this way - professional bodybuilders take them! Why would someone waste their money on expensive supplements if they're not effective?
4- Avoid drinking too much alcohol
Do you like having a couple of beers after training before you go to bed? Well, I hope you don't drink too much because that can ruin everything. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol is never good, but when taking any anabolic steroid it's even more dangerous. Alcohol will increase your estrogen levels which is the last thing you want while using metenolone... Just say no to beer or anything else containing alcohol (yes, that means staying away from red wine as well...)
5- Expect severe effects if taking above recommended dose
As I said above, metenolone is a very mild steroid... But if you take more than the recommended dose you will get more side effects. Some of them can be very serious so always avoid taking too much of this compound if you don't want to have any troubles with your health!
6- Metenolone alone won't give you the results that you want
Even though it's a mild steroid and has some benefits, don't forget that it's not enough to provide you with the results that we all want. It should be combined with other steroids (and testosterone in case we're talking about women) in order to make sure that your cycle will work like magic :-) That doesn't mean it isn't worth trying though, let's not forget that it will be enough to help you with the lean muscle mass that you want in the beginning... But the results won't last in my opinion.
7- Don't expect improvements when it comes to strength
This is one of the main reasons why bodybuilders use metenolone. It doesn't have any effect on your strength so if you plan on using Primobolan for this reason, prepare for some disappointments! And even though I said above that metenolone can provide some benefits to athletes, keep in mind that most people don't see them when they're working out due to their low level of activity.
8- If looking for increased endurance then try something else!
Primobolan is not a steroid that will make your endurance levels higher, so if that's the reason why you're considering adding this product into your cycle then think again! If you want to use metenolone for increasing your stamina on the other hand, why don't you try Primo? It can work pretty well in this case :-)
9- It doesn't magically erase fat
If you still think that Primobolan will burn away all of your fat stores right before your eyes, stop dreaming of it. This compound won't do anything about subcutaneous water retention so forget about seeing any difference on the scale at the end of the week... But of course it can help with providing more strength and muscle endurance which is good enough to make a difference in your looks ;-)
10- You shouldn't take it for too long
The half-life of Primobolan isn't that high and it's best to take the maximum number of injections over a period of 6 weeks. After that, if looking for more muscle gains then you can use other products such as oxandrolone or testosterone enanthate which will be able to provide better results than metenolone... But remember, taking any anabolic steroid for too long is not safe so keep all of this in mind :-)
11- PCT is recommended after using metenolone if planning to compete
If you want the gains from your latest cycle with metenolone (or Primobolan) to stay then you should definitely use PCT after. During this period, your body will be able to recover faster and that's something we all want, right? Just remember to not take any anabolic steroids for 3 weeks before the show if competing because it can destroy everything :-)
12- Don't forget about estrogen blocking supplements
If adding metenolone into your cycle, don't forget about taking some estrogen blockers such as aromatase inhibitors or SERMs. You'll get more benefits from using them than without... But of course only if you work out hard and eat healthy in order to achieve the best results possible! There is no point in taking anti-estrogens if your diet and training aren't on point... And please, don't take them for too long because you don't want to hurt your health!
And here are the benefits of using Metenolone:
Helps gain muscle mass. Increases strength levels. Helps with burning fat. Increases energy levels. Doesn't cause water retention problems. Helps with recovery after workouts - Decreases cortisol production in the body - Increases red blood cell count - Works pretty fast (takes 1-2 days) - Good for bulking cycles - Works perfectly fine when combined with other steroids that are similar to metenolone (such as Primobolan, Masteron and Trenbolone) and testosterone is also a good choice if we're talking about women (and men of course).
Many people have been asking me which is the best steroid cycle for beginners. And I must say that I've always had a hard time answering their question because many of them don't understand what a compound stack is and how it works... But since today's topic is all about bulking, cutting and pre-contest cycles, I'll tell you what my answer was :-)

First of all however, let me explain what a bulking cycle really is: In bodybuilding, bulking up means gaining some weight by eating more calories than our body actually needs... But bulking is not limited to gaining weight only, people usually say that they are "bulking up" when they gain muscle too.

You can start your bulking phase immediately after you end a cutting cycle and you'll be surprised at first, but later on you'll see the real benefits of it! Gaining some weight first allows our muscles to stretch and grow bigger due to food intake and that means we'll get more benefits from every workout we perform. Anyway, here's what
I recommend:
- Start with 1mg per pound of bodyweight (2mg per kg) for the first 3 weeks - Perform no more than 4 injections / week (3 would be OK as well since it doesn't take much time but always remember about time efficiency) - After 4 weeks you can increase the dosage to 1.5mg per pound of bodyweight (3mg per kg) for the next 3 weeks which is also the most efficient dose in my opinion. You don't want to go higher because it will only cause more side effects and isn't worth it!
- Perform no more than 4 injections / week (3 would be OK as well since it doesn't take much time but always remember about time efficiency) 2ml 2ml 1ml
This is what I recommend if your main goal is bulking up :-)
Of course, this compound cycle can be useful for other purposes as well so feel free to use my recommendations But please, don't forget about PCT after your cycle! You don't want to get side effects because of this so always remember about using them... And you can do it by yourself, personally I think that's the best method.
After 3 weeks of usage (1mg per pound of bodyweight for 3 weeks) user will be able to gain some 9 pounds on pure muscle mass which is very good result. Testosterone levels also increase (and if athlete is low T-men, natural testosterone production will increase even more), libido gets better and users experience feelings of euphoria due to high blood plasma level.

Because it reduces cortisol production, Nolvaxyl compound doesn’t cause water retention problems like other testosterone compounds (Sustanon for example). Testosterone: Not only is Metenolone (Primobolan) a great androgen which elicits very few side effects, it also has little to no liver toxicity. This makes it more desirable than many steroids which can damage the liver, especially those orally administered.
- Increases red blood cell count - Increases appetite - Increases energy levels - Helps with burning fat as well as building muscle mass - Doesn't cause water retention problems like other testosterone compounds (Sustanon for example)
Another thing you should know about Metenolone is that although it's safer than other compounds such as Sustanon and Testosterone Cypionate, you still need to take precautions if you want to stay safe and healthy! And here's what you should do:
- Do not combine more than one testosterone compound in your stack - Your cycle shouldn't last longer than 12 weeks (8 would be better) - If you're thinking about taking it orally, forget about that idea because it can cause damage to liver without PCT!
And that's all I have to say on this subject :-) Remember to use proper form and technique since otherwise you may get injured which will lead to more problems than benefits. Steroids are no joke so treat them with respect!

And another thing... Some people think they'll look like Arnold Schwarzenegger if they take some steroids... But of course it doesn't work like that :-D You still need to train and eat right for the results to show so don't forget about that! So, if you follow my recommendations you should get some nice results :-)
