       Halotestin
       (Fluoxymesterone)
       It is one of the most powerful anabolic steroids of all time and
       one of the fastest acting to boot yet you will not find it to be
       commonly used by the majority of performance enhancing athletes;
       in the gym rat circles it can actually be somewhat of a rarity.
       While this remains true there are few steroids that equal the
       raw power of Fluoxymesterone commonly known as Halotestin and
       often simply referred to as Halo. Far more anabolic and
       androgenic than testosterone, the hormone by-which all anabolic
       steroids are measured, it is unique in its anabolic and
       androgenic nature. Halotestin by its very nature is both highly
       anabolic and highly androgenic yet it displays almost no
       androgenic effects leaving nothing but an anabolic end. As Halo
       is purely anabolic in action it is one of the absolute best
       strength increasing steroids on the market but in-terms of mass
       it will do very little; in-fact, we can safely say for mass it
       really won’t do anything at all.
       It should come as no surprise, Halotestin is most commonly found
       among strength athletes, particularly power lifters; however, it
       also has a very popular use among competitive bodybuilders,
       particularly during the latter portion of contest prep dieting.
       As these are the two most common groups who use the steroid it
       is rarely found among the majority of steroid users and this is
       the gym rat group; individuals who do not play or participate in
       any competitive sport, they are not bodybuilders competitively,
       they do not power lift competitively; they simply train for
       trainings sake in order to look and feel better. The reason is
       simple; while Halotestin is very powerful it is also very harsh
       and for the gym rat there are many other choices far safer and
       efficient to meet their desired goals.
       Halotestin 101:
       Derived from testosterone, many of the effects and traits can be
       akin to popular Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) steroids, although to
       a greater degree. As a testosterone derivative one might expect
       this steroid to aromatize heavily and while this would make
       sense it is however not the case, as Halo does not aromatize at
       all. What truly makes Halo special is in its ability to
       dramatically increase hemoglobin levels and the mass and
       structure of red blood cells by way of action in-which it
       correlates with erythropoietin. It is by this trait Halotestin
       gives us such a rapid and massive increase in strength and while
       other anabolic steroids can perform in a similar action Halo
       simply does it to a much larger degree. Like many other steroids
       Halotestin also appears to have a positive impact on metabolic
       function and even direct oxidation of fatty acids; however, this
       affect is so slight that it’s almost not worth mentioning, again
       making strength the primary attribute.
       As are most oral anabolic steroids Halotestin belongs to the 17
       Alpha-Alkylated class (17-aa.) This classification refers to an
       alteration in the hormones structure, in this case
       Fluoxymesterone and refers to the hormones structure being
       altered at the 17th carbon position in order to allow survival
       in the body; without this alteration the hormone would be
       destroyed by the liver and it would never make it to the blood
       where activity becomes present. While this structural change
       allows the hormone to perform its desired action it is not
       without fault, for as you may understand 17-aa anabolic steroids
       are liver toxic and Halotestin makes no exception. In the case
       of Halo there is however a slight difference in toxicity levels
       when compared to many other oral 17-aa steroids and that is it
       possesses one of the highest levels of toxicity of all. The use
       of Halotestin can and will more than likely dramatically
       increase liver enzyme values and it is for this reason the
       steroid should only be used for short periods of time and in
       responsible doses. For those who use responsibly, while liver
       enzyme levels will increase they will return to normal shortly
       after use is discontinued, assuming you have a healthy liver to
       begin with.
       The Benefits of Halotestin:
       It is very common for the benefits of Halotestin to be compared
       to Winstrol (Stanozolol) and in some ways this isn’t inaccurate
       as both will and are designed for increasing strength and both
       steroids can lead to a harder physique; however, the difference
       in potency is not even close. Halo will increase strength at a
       rate incomparable to Winstrol and most anabolic steroids and in
       such rapid fashion that we can in many ways consider it the king
       of strength. Even so, while strength increasing is its primary
       function, due to the high liver toxicity most athletes will not
       use it for more than 4 weeks at a time and generally to reap the
       greatest benefit the final 4 weeks before the desired
       competition is at hand. As we eluded to there is another benefit
       to Halo beyond strength, in-fact there are two but strength is
       and will always remain its primary purpose.
       In the world of competitive bodybuilding, especially at the
       elite levels Halotestin is often viewed as a staple in last
       minute preparation and in this case it really doesn’t have
       anything to do with strength. Halo has the ability to greatly
       harden a physique, a lean physique; that is correct, one must
       already be very lean to reap this benefit; Halo will not
       magically take a physique that has a layer of fat and make it
       hard. To reap this reward one must be very lean; preferably
       already below 6% but even lower is better. Of equal importance
       is the “push” Halotestin can provide in the final weeks of
       dieting; competitive bodybuilding diets are some of the hardest
       and most brutal diets man has ever come up with and towards the
       end when body fat is low and energy levels are drained pushing
       through the final training sessions can be the hardest thing
       anyone ever undertakes. However, with Halotestin use we have one
       of the few anabolic steroids that actually and truly increases
       aggression allowing the competitor to push through his final
       training, giving him the edge he needs that could not be
       obtained on a calorie restricted diet such as this without Halo.
       The Side-Effects of Halotestin:
       When examining the side-effects of Halotestin we will find they
       are very similar to some of the more popular DHT based anabolic
       steroids, side-effects such as acne and hair-loss can be a
       concern but there are two things we must remember and consider.
       All steroids and all medications, steroidal and non-steroidal
       alike carry with them the possibility of negative side-effects
       but possibility in no way means guaranteed; it simply means the
       potential is there and the level of potential will vary greatly
       from one person to the next. Further, because we will only
       supplement with Halotestin for very short periods of time the
       possible DHT type side-effects are of very little concern. 4
       weeks of total Halo use is fairly common but even use for as
       little as 2 weeks is not as uncommon as you might think.
       For the individual who goes past the 4 week mark this is where
       side-effects may begin to become problematic, most notably
       revolving around the liver; if you recall Halo greatly increases
       liver enzyme values. Liver damage is without question the most
       serious concern when Halo is used and for that reason use must
       necessarily remain responsible if we are to combat this issue
       and keep our liver healthy. It is true, many of the side-effects
       commonly associated with anabolic steroids do not exist with
       Halotestin, there is no aromatase concern therefore there is no
       concern with things such as Gynecomastia or water retention but
       because it is so liver toxic it can be one of the more dangerous
       steroids on the market.
       Halotestin & Aggression:
       It is very common for the association of anabolic steroids and
       aggression to be joined together in discussion; in-fact this is
       often a main bullet point many will use to discourage anabolic
       steroids use. However, time and time again it has been proven in
       most cases, even with performance level dosing that instances
       such as “Roid Rage” are a myth. Anabolic androgenic steroids do
       not alter your personality, they do not cause or create a
       chemical reaction in your brain; this we know as it has been
       proven on several occasions and most notably by the New England
       Journal of Medicine. Make no mistake, many anabolic steroids can
       increase aggression to a degree but aggression is not rage and
       can be quite a useful tool; it’s what one decides to do with it
       that makes it good or bad and as anabolic steroids do not alter
       our brains that decision is on you and you alone.
       As it pertains to Halotestin we actually have one of the few
       anabolic steroids that can really provide an aggressive bump
       that will allow the individual to perform at a higher level of
       intensity. As you can imagine this is perfect for the power
       lifter and can greatly aid the bodybuilder in his contest diet.
       It is one of those things that is necessary and it should not be
       feared; after all, aggression is praised in most aspects of
       competitive sports, you want aggressive football players who
       attack on the field, you want aggressive baseball players who
       swing for the fence; the list goes on and on. There is an old
       saying regarding rage and anabolic steroids and as Halo can
       truly increase aggression it is perhaps here that it fits best.
       If you’re a jerk before you use steroids you’ll simply be a more
       aggressive jerk with steroids; if you’re a sane individual and
       not a jackass, you’ll still be the same sane jackass free
       individual when steroid use is at hand; you will simply now have
       more aggression to put towards your athletic performance
       whatever that might be.
       Halotestin Cycles & Doses:
       From examining the above we can see Halotestin would be a poor
       off-season or mass gaining steroid and in truth outside of the
       competitive arena there is truly very little use for this
       anabolic compound. If you find yourself in a competitive circle,
       such as bodybuilding or power lifting you’ll find Halo works
       best when taken in two even doses every day during use. The
       multiple doses are not a must but as this steroid has a
       half-life of approximately 9.5 hours it is advised. Most will
       further find the optimal time of use to be 2-4 weeks out from
       their desired competition and assuming your Halo is real; good
       news, as the demand isn’t high it’s rarely counterfeited, you’ll
       have an anabolic steroid that will truly help punch you through
       to the end.
       As it pertains to dosing even a low dose will provide a pretty
       big change; 10mg per day can greatly increase strength, while
       20mg per day can greatly harden an already very lean physique.
       Yes, you can take more but 40mg per day will be our maximum dose
       if we are to remain safe with 20mg per day being the optimal
       minimal dose. If you go over 40mg per day you can really do some
       serious damage to your liver and the tradeoff is simply not
       worth it, especially when doses that extend past 40mg rarely
       provide much of a difference.
