Anadrol Overview
Anadrol is an anabolic androgenic steroid also known as Anadrol-50 or Oxymetholone. The drug was first developed in the 1960s for treating muscle wasting and anemia or low red blood cell count. Research showed that it increased the levels of the hormone erythropoietin, which is involved in red blood cell production. As better drugs were developed, Oxymetholone was slowly phased out of the market. The dangers involved and its continued popularity in the bodybuilding scene prompted many states to ban the substance.
As a synthetic form of testosterone, Anadrol increased muscle growth and athletic performance significantly by supporting anabolic and androgenic activities. To be more precise, Oxymetholone is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone or DHT.
Oxymetholone is also one of the fastest-acting anabolic steroids ever produced. Its impact sets in within a day of the first dosage, which explains why the drug continued to be so popular even after the ban.
Today, Oxymetholone, just like other anabolic steroids, is mostly available through the black market. It is sold under different names, including Protanabol, Oxybolone, Anastron, Zenalosyn, Anasterone, and Syansterone.

Anadrol Benefits
-
Rapid Weight Gain
Anadrol is quite possibly the best steroid in terms of weight gain, and blowing up a user’s muscles fast. This makes it a compound particularly coveted by skinny males who want huge gains.
The weight gained on oxymetholone is typically comprised of muscle and water retention.
It is not uncommon for users to gain as much as 10lbs in the first week on oxymetholone . By the 6th week, weight gain can increase to 30lbs. Roughly half of this is likely to be water.
Because anadrol shifts a lot of water inside the muscle cells, muscle pumps in the gym can be described as ‘skin-tearing’. Pumps can become so huge where they are actually problematic, with some users describing lower back pumps as painful.
-
Muscle Building
Anadrol will take a bodybuilder’s muscle size to a whole new level, with it being over 3x more anabolic than testosterone.
Some of this size will be temporary intracellular fluid retention, giving the muscles a constant pumped-look.
However, the lean muscle gains on anadrol are still significant, due to the steroid skyrocketing testosterone levels, protein synthesis and increasing nitrogen retention.
Scientists regard anadrol as “one of the most potent steroids ever developed for building muscle“, with participants gaining 14.5lbs of muscle per 100lb of bodyweight in studies (1).
However, these results are based on high doses for excessive periods of time, thus results for a bodybuilder will be slightly less, assuming a shorter cycle and a more cautious dose.
18lbs of lean muscle is common for a first-time 6 week cycle of anadrol, roughly 60% of the overall weight gaining.
-
Enhances Strength
oxymetholone is arguably the greatest steroid in powerlifting and strongman circles. This is due to the sheer weight gain and the huge surge in testosterone.
It is common for users to add 30lbs to their bench press in the first 10 days on oxymetholone .
By the end of a cycle, anadrol has the ability to add approximately 60lbs to a user’s squat, deadlift and bench press.
Strength levels can decrease by 40% post-cycle, which correlates with the same degree of weight loss.
-
Join Support
Anadrol is somewhat healthy for the joints, due to its water-retaining properties.
It lubricates the joints, increasing elasticity and decreasing inflammation or/and joint pain.
Thus, if a bodybuilder does have joint problems, taking a steroid such as anadrol or deca durabolin may be more preferable than winstrol for example; with the latter expelling water and creating more wear on the joints.
-
Fat Loss
Some people believe oxymetholone causes fat gain, however this isn’t accurate.
All anabolic steroids, including oxymetholone , are different types of exogenous testosterone.
Testosterone will build muscle and burn fat. Thus, different steroids will build muscle and burn fat to different degrees.
Two studies have concluded that anadrol burns significant amounts of subcutaneous fat, when dosed at 100mg per day
The reason why anadrol may appear to cause fat gain, is due to water retention. The puffiness and bloating from excess fluid can give the appearance of a higher body fat percentage.
As it’s a bulking steroid, users are likely to combine anadrol with a high calorie diet, resulting in fat gain and additional water retention. This however linking to diet and not directly related to anadrol itself.
Therefore, if a maintenance calorie diet is adopted, the person will not gain subcutaneous fat.
However, anadrol and other steroids, can cause increases in visceral fat . This is not the fat you can pinch around your stomach, but instead located internally and wraps around your organs.
