ANADROL® (Oxymetholone) is considered to be the most powerful anabolic/androgenic steroid available. It was initially developed as a medicine to help people with anemia, and has since been used very successfully to aid people who are suffering from many other diseases where weight loss is a concern. Thus, it is clearly an effective agent for promoting weight gain, increasing appetite, gaining strength, and increasing red blood cell count. For bodybuilding purposes, Anadrol is considered by many to be the most powerful steroid available, with results of this steroid being extremely dramatic. A steroid novice experimenting with oxymetholone is likely to gain 20 to 30 pounds of massive bulk, and it can often be accomplished in less than 6 weeks, with only 50-100mg a day. Although the smooth look that results from water retention is often not attractive, it can aid quite a bit to the level of size and strength gained. The muscle is fuller, will contract better and is provided a level of protection in the form of "lubrication" to the joints as some of this extra water is held into and around connective tissues This will allow for more elasticity, and will hopefully decrease the chance for injury when lifting heavy.
