I've been planning my next cycle and looking at a few different compounds. Right now, mast at about 50mg/week for 6-8 weeks seems most appealing to me. Since I've post-poned figure til I don't know when (probably mid season 2015), my goal right now isn't to put more size on, but to gain strength and hardness. I plan to do a non-tested powerlifting meet in November and felt this compound would be a good fit.
My understanding of masteron is that it can be a little harsh, and females have to be careful with the dosing since virilization symptoms are a lot more probable if you push it. I tolerated 20-25mg var (which I know is typically a higher dose for females) really well, and had practically no sides at all.
Any stories of experience/insight would be great!
=====================
Gosh very good question, are the adverse effects (virilization) MORE pronounced in females than "purely anabolic" Progesterogenic AAS such as Tren, or perhaps the classic combination Androgen/Anabolic agent like test? I'm only aware of a few limited studies where these compounds were indadvertedly compared in females, yet in separate studies.
Of course those studies involved females with breast CA since at that time it was believed the reason AAS were effective was bc of their "anti-estrogenic" properties. However with the technological development of receptor assays in female breast tissue it has since been realized that benefit is actually the consequence of these AAS androgenic properties.
Nonetheless there was little difference in "masculinization" providing the dosing was LOW and EQUIPOTENT.
I have to pull the studies and look at their dosing quantity and interval but 25-50 mg seems about right. All that being said the experience of Gals like Jen and TG will be excellent resources as your cycle progresses.
good luck
