GP Mast (Drostanolone Propionate) is a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) derived anabolic steroid. Specifically, GP Mast is the DHT hormone that has been structurally altered by the addition of a methyl group at the carbon 2 position, This protects the hormone from the metabolic breakdown by the 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme, which is found in the skeletal muscle. It also greatly increases the hormone’s anabolic nature. This simple structural change is all it takes to create Drostanolone, and from here the small/short Propionate ester is attached in order to control the hormone’s release time. Drostanolone Enanthate can also be found through some underground labs, which does not have to be injected as frequently, but it is somewhat rare compared to the Propionate version. On a functional basis, GP Mast is well-known for being one of the only anabolic steroids with strong anti-estrogenic properties. Not only does this steroid carry no estrogenic activity, but it can actually act as an anti-estrogen in the body. This is why it has been effective in the treatment of breast cancer.
In fact, the combination of Masteron (GP Mast) and Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) has been shown to be far more effective than chemotherapy in the treatment of inoperable breast cancer in postmenopausal women. This also makes it a popular steroid among bodybuilders as it could actually prohibit the need for an anti-estrogen when used in the right cycle. This will also prove advantageous during the cutting phase due to the hardening effects it can provide. Masteron carries relatively low anabolic and androgenic ratings; however, these ratings are somewhat misleading. It’s important to remember DHT, the basis of Masteron, is five times more androgenic than testosterone with a much stronger binding affinity to the androgen receptor. This again promotes a harder look and can also enhance fat loss. Most all anabolic steroids are well-noted for enhancing the metabolic rate, but strong androgen's have a tendency to directly promote lipolysis. As an anabolic, GP Mast isn’t well-known for promoting gains in lean muscle mass. It has never been used for muscle wasting in a therapeutic sense and will almost always be found in cutting plans among performance athletes. It can, however, promote significant boosts in strength, which could prove beneficial to an athlete who may not necessarily be looking for raw mass.
Effects of Masteron:
Without question, the effects of GP Mast will be displayed in the most efficient way during a cutting cycle. However, for the effects to be truly appreciated the individual will need to be extremely lean. This is why the hormone will most commonly be found at the end of bodybuilding contest prep cycles as the individual should already be fairly lean at this stage. The added Masteron will help him lose that last bit of fat that often hangs on for dear life at the end of a cycle. It will also ensure his physique appears as hard as can be. Of course, the anti-estrogenic effect will simply enhance this overall look. For those that are not competitive bodybuilder lean, it is possible that the effects of Masteron may not be all that noticeable. The individual who is under 10% body fat should be able to notice some results and produce a harder, dryer look, but much over 10% and the effects may not be all that pronounced. As a potent androgen, GP Mast can benefit the athlete looking for a boost in strength. This can be a very beneficial steroid for an athlete who is following a calorie restricted diet in an effort to maintain a specific body weight necessary for his pursuit. The individual could easily enjoy moderate increases in strength and a slight improvement in recovery and muscular endurance without unwanted body weight gain. As a bulking agent, the effects of GP Mast n will prove to be rather week. It is possible the hormone could provide gains in mass similar to Primobolan Depot, which won’t be that strong either, if the total dose was high enough. However, the relative gain in size will be very moderate with many anabolic steroids being far more suited for this period of steroidal supplementation. There are those who may wish to include GP Mast in a bulking plan for its anti-estrogenic and fat loss effects. The latter would ensure they kept their body fat gain minimized during off-season bulking phases, but this isn’t reason enough to use it in this phase. Body fat should be controllable without it. As for the anti-estrogenic effects, off-season cycles are normally comprised of large amounts of aromatase activity due to high doses of testosterone. Progesterone activity is also commonly high with the addition of Nandrolone compounds and possible Trenbolone. Consider additional Anadrol or Dianabol and this estrogenic activity can become very pronounced. Unfortunately, while possessing anti-estrogenic effects, Masteron will not be strong enough to combat this level of estrogenic activity.
GP Mast (Masteron) accomplishes for the user is its synergistic effects with the use of other anabolic steroids in Masteron cycles. GP Mast is indeed a stronger anabolic than Testosterone itself, but it does not possess an anabolic rating very significantly above Testosterone itself, and might be weaker in some instances. Masteron therefore makes up for its lack of anabolic strength in its ability to enhance the effects and capabilities of other anabolic steroids it may be stacked with within a Masteron cycle. Very rarely is Masteron ever utilized on its own, and so its greatest capabilities and benefits arise with the use of other anabolic steroids alongside it. Masteron’s anti-estrogen capabilities through its aromatase inhibition does indeed contribute to this, but it also has the capability of binding to SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin), preventing that SHBG from binding to the other anabolic steroids being used, such as Testosterone. SHBG is a protein that binds to sex steroids, such as Testosterone, and renders them inactive for as long as SHBG is bound to them (this is the difference between ‘free’ Testosterone and ‘bound’ Testosterone, where bound Testosterone has been bound to SHBG). Many DHT-derivatives exhibit this beneficial and synergistic effect, and Masteron shares this benefit as well.
The benefits and capabilities of GP Mast cycles are best taken advantage of with the use of other anabolic steroids alongside Masteron itself. Although Masteron is not ideal for the purpose of bulking, its use in bulking cycles can be validated through its use alongside Testosterone in a bulking cycle, for example. Run on its own, Masteron is regarded as a sub-optimal anabolic steroid. It still reserves its special place as a precontest and/or cutting compound that is best used alongside other anabolic steroids.
Beginner Masteron cycles would typically utilize some form of basic Testosterone (Enanthate, Cypionate, or most commonly, Propionate) at a general dose of 400 – 500mg weekly, alongside a Masteron dosage of around 400mg per week. This would generally be a cutting or pre-contest cycle in which the user’s goal is to shed body fat and to ‘harden up’ the physique. The reason for the common use of Testosterone Propionate in Masteron cycles is primarily due to the fact that Masteron is readily and primarily available as Drostanolone Propionate and it therefore melds perfectly with Testosterone Propionate for obvious reasons.
Intermediate Masteron cycles will usually introduce a third compound into the Masteron cycle, usually an oral anabolic steroid. Winstrol or Anavar (or even Primobolan) are typical choices. Once again, such a cycle would be a precontest or fat loss cycle, which is the reason for the inclusion of such compounds as Winstrol, Anavar or Primobolan, due to the fact that they are all known as being non-estrogenic compounds typically utilized for the purpose of lean mass or cutting body fat. An oral steroid typically used for bulking, such as Dianabol or Anadrol, are rarely combined with Masteron. However, the truth is that these compounds can also be thrown into Masteron cycles as well, but this is a fairly rare occurrence considering the nature of Masteron itself.
Cycles/Uses:
Due to the effects of Masteron on estrogen related side effects, Masteron is a very useful tool (especially in competitive bodybuilding) when cutting. As higher levels of estrogen result in water retention, Masteron inhibits water retention, and many users claim that their muscles feel very full and tight on Masteron, with it giving them amazing 'muscle pumps' in the gym. Use of Masteron (in combination with other appropriate meds) at low body fat levels results in the user seeing fine detail of the muscles being accentuated, such as striations and the fine details of the muscle. Masteron helps draw out the water from between the skin and the muscle giving this very cut look (at low body fat levels). Not many other AS medicines can give such effects on muscle detail as those seen with Masteron.
Despite these effects of Masteron, it is a rather weak AS in itself. One would hardly benefit at all from use of Masteron on its own, and furthermore use of Masteron alone may result in loss of libido due to shutdown of the body's natural testosterone production. For these reasons, it is always recommended to stack GP Mast (Masteron) with other steroids.
The dosages that should be used with Masteron are:
350-500mg per week (propionate version, injected every other day)
400-600mg per week (enanthate version, injected twice per week)
An example of an excellent cutting cycle for an advanced user would be: (6-10 weeks)
150mg Testosterone propionate every other day
50mg Trenbolone acetate every day (or 100mg every other day)
150mg Masteron (propionate) every other day
50mg Winstrol every day, last 4 weeks of cycle only
Of course with such an intermediate/advanced cycle, the user could also incorporate other medicines such as Clenbuterol, Ephedrine, T3, growth hormone, IGF, etc.
A more novice cutting cycle may consist of: (6-8 weeks)
100mg Testosterone propionate every other day
100mg Masteron (propionate) every other day
When abused or overdosed, GP Mast (Masteron) can lead to oily skin, acne, body/facial hair growth, deepening of the voice, and hair loss. It may even cause increased sebum secretion (oily skin), increased bouts of acne (associated with increased sebum secretion), bodily and facial hair growth, and the increased risk of male pattern baldness. In women, Masteron can cause side effects like development of male secondary sex characteristics such as deepening of the voice, growth of body and facial hair), clitoral enlargement, and menstrual irregularities. Abuse of this steroid can even lead to suppression of the HPTA (Hypothalamic Pituitary Testicular Axis) and natural endogenous Testosterone production. Therefore, the use of post cycle therapy drugs like Clomid or Nolvadex is highly recommended to restore the normalization of the HPTA and endogenous Testosterone production as quickly as possible.
