So what is Halo?

[PimpMaster]

TweetI always hear horror stories about "Halo" and the only Halo I know is the game on Xbox. So what the hell is in Halo that makes it so dangerous?

Tweethalotestin ... it's highly toxic to the liver and can cause aggression ...

it's pretty much worthless except for mad hardening up ... i didn't notice any permanant gains off of it ...

With the exception of perhaps anadrol, Halotestin is the single most dangerous steroid to use. Its liver toxicity is unrivaled and you wouldn't be the first person to end up in the hospital with jaundice and dangerously elevated liver values after a hefty cycle of fluoxymesterone. My question has often been simply "Why?". Fluoxymesterone has a low anabolic capacity. The results in mass would be small to non-existent. Qualitatively similar gains as one would book with trenbolone, but tren would go for equal or less money, deliver three times the gains and wouldn't be half as risky to use. Therefor the sole marked use of fluoxymesterone that is actually warranted is that by power- and weightlifters seeking to boost strength while remaining in a set weight class.

In bodybuilding its used near the end of cutting cycles, since in people with an already low body-fat percentage it adds a distinct hardness and definition to the look, although, as stated, better and safer products will achieve similar effects. As with these alternatives fluoxymesterone has absolutely zero estrogenic activity and will thus not add water or fat to the frame in any way.

While a definite increase in aggressiveness and a notable rise in erythrropoesis is noticed with the use of fluoxymesterone, it has been theorized that it actually has very moderate binding to the androgen receptor. Either that or it shows a higher affinity for other receptors. The enzyme aromatase comes to mind because of the effect it has, like a DHT compound would, on muscle hardness. The latter seems like a better explanation. On the one hand there is nothing that would immediately indicate it acting on the androgen receptor, on the other there is very good likeness to other steroids that are mostly AR-mediated. Its my best guess that not all has been said about fluoxymesterone. Its not a very interesting or grateful object of study however due to the high risk and low yield of this particular steroid.

Athletes that may consider its use are endurance athletes that do not get drug tested (as it is quite easy to detect). The stimulating effect on erythropoesis (red blood cell production) and cell respiration, such an athlete would find a good use for the increase in aerobic capacity noticed for this, without adding unnecessary bodyweight to the frame he has to carry. In this aspect it may be good to note that a short cycle of Halotestin with a moderately long cycle of Equipoise may have some merit in this instance. Neither would increase water retention drastically, neither would give explosive gains. But both have positive effects on the VO2 max.

In any case, and whatever the reason of use, 4 weeks is the best duration of use, 6 weeks at the most. As stated before, many athletes, having used fluoxymesterone while not under supervision of a physician, have ended up in the hospital with life-threatening conditions.

at 1st I thought you where talking about the game too, silly me. But like CJ said, I agree. Some will tell you it's good, but IMO I would say you'll find very little response with good talk about it.

TweetIt's very good for strength gains.

It’s also great if you enjoy mind-numbing headaches that make you want to die.

I’m not a fan of Halotestin.

TweetIt's more of a strength and aggression drug, Boxers,fighters, ussually are the ones that use it to their advantage...I've heard from many people that it compares to Anavar, as far as strength goes...The sides are way more harsh though, I'd stay away from it,JMO

TweetI agree with Small. Halo has its merits and purpose. I like it and use it almost every other cycle. Even at low doses it depletes glutathione levels so it's affects the liver greatly. The headaches come from the increased blood pressure(obviously,lol) brought by eloctrolyte imbalance which halo alters.

Tweeti love halo for cutting

[SODATOSS]

[Manic Behavior]

TweetI think it's great when you have low bodyfat, especially at the end of a cutting cycle. You're strength will sky-rocket.

[NecroPhreak]

TweetI LOVE halotestin. makes you strong as hell and aggressive/angry.
for strength,it's twice as good as trenbolone and several times better than Dbol.
