MESO-Rx Exclusive Fluoxymesterone (Halo) peaking, fat loss, and strength effects explained

[MESO-Rx Administrator]

@Type-IIx discusses the unique characteristics of fluoxymesterone. Halo is a potent androgen used by bodybuilders and athletes for its strength-enhancing, fat-reducing, and muscle-hardening effects. It antagonizes glucocorticoid receptors, reduces fat mass, increases muscle mass, and has notable effects on mood and behavior. Learn more:

BOOOOOOOOM!!! Article dropped!

How and WHY Halo is synergistic with other AAS for peaking/hardening (it actually antagonizes GR); how its potent androgenicity contributes to recomp (increased muscle and decreased fat, simultaneously). Why, too, it’s so potently anticatabolic —making it great for hard cutting, deep into prep.

If you can wrap your head around this and the other articles of this series you kind of have the golden ticket to understanding different drug combos.

Going to be doing a 20-30mg/day run with halo here soon. Will report back in this thread my anecdotal experience if you're cool with that. Figure it's easier to put it all into 1 single thread that people can reference later

Used it a long time ago for a powerlifting meet, but there was a lot of other variables. Should be easier to gauge it's effect now

Absolutely bro, sounds good

not one word on the toxicity of Halo tho, after having praised all those fantastic effect I would have liked at least a paragraph on the toxicity of it so that newbie don't go with their cock at full mast eating halo like it's candies.
and a few line on average dosage too.

Toxicity is overblown. Like with all orals more or less

Ehh halo/superdrol/mtren are all considerably toxic. Wouldn't say it's overblown

Some orals are less toxic than others, but most if not all affect liver values

bullshit especially on halo or similar substances.

Haha my biggest concern is the halo aggression

With tren and halo in the mix, I'm going to have to bite my tongue hard and stfu

There’s simply nothing unique about Halo’s toxicity, it’s a myth

Superdrol and Mtren are actually remarkably toxic unlike Halo

Damn well done. Why can’t I PM you, did you disable that?

No idea. I haven't set anything special. I just made this account to see photos as I can't without one and post here and there.
I'm not familiar with how all this works.

Must be post count or some other factor(s) relating to how new you are. Welcome, anyhow!

I just want to return to the halotestin hepatotoxicity one more time because it was regarded as highly toxic many years ago and still seems to be for the most part on many boards which has me a little bit perplexed

There is also literature which seems to indicate that because halo is a 17-α alkyl-androgen, it's liver toxic

"This chemical modification allows the drug to remain active longer when taken orally, as it is not easily broken down by liver enzymes. However, this alteration also makes Fluoxymesterone hepatotoxic, which can lead to liver damage with prolonged use."

It does seem to also have the risk of causing jaundice (although i believe this was in a clinical setting where the patients were taking halotestin for prolonged periods)

From a bodybuilding and even a powerlifting standpoint though, I feel like we would see halo used for longer cycle lengths if liver Toxicity wasn't a major consideration. For instance in bodybuilding most utilize halo the last 2-3 weeks leading into the show. I think for powerlifting it's the same too where it's only run for a few weeks.

I'm just seeking to understand this component better before I start my cycle with it

It's used for a few weeks before a competition being a bodybuilding or powerlifting one because the idea of his highly toxicity is what makes them afraid to take for longer period of time. Otherwise it would be used like a oral steroid that is considered having a normal toxicity. Like drol for example. There are many myth,superstition and bro science information that are still believed and applied.
Like you see on a forum that when halo it's mentioned to be part of a cycle everyone starts to worry about that person like he just gonna make bungee jumping without a cord.
On a pro level or high level those guys don't give a fuck and take whatever just to place higher or lift more. But those are exceptions.
Or at least this is my explication why halo is used the way it's used by most of guys.

I take normally for 6-8 weeks(20-30mg) to get some more strength and help with progressive overload and hypertrophy and building muscle in the end. But that's me. I don't suggest to anyone to do what I do like I don't suggest and recommend taking aas...

All 17AAs are hepatotoxic, Halo is just not particularly so. I've seen guys get jaundiced on 25 mg of Var after 6 days. It's just a myth, like so many, that have been promulgated over the decades. I can refer back to articles from the early 1990s that said it without citation, and that has simply been parroted since. It's not hard to wrap your head around once you accept the fact that bodybuilding is not a science.

On a forum I have read that was someone that took sdrol for a year straight when it was sold as a supplement and more than likely isn't just one guy because no one knew what sdrol really was back then and some popping sdrol like tic tac because was seen like something else than it was.

Also Dave Palumbo had a interview with a guy many years ago that was released from prison (ex bodybuilder) that really like sdrol and he said that human body can tolerate many things and he gave a example the guys that inject heroin with dirty water or doing meth and after 25 years they are still alive. Human body is very resilient.

Or there is another guy that took drol for 20 or 25 years straight and blood work was good.

I don't give those example to do the same but to question ourselves if not steroid toxicity(with few exceptions)is overblown and not the substance itself is doing us harm in long term but the lifestyle and being overweight. Still to this day no one died from OD on testosterone but by ignoring what the lifestyle has done to him over decades of doing this and ignoring blood pressure, and not doing his cardio and so forth.

Again I start to rant and be like ghoul and write endless text of nonsense. Anyway stay away from steroids especially from those that aren't necessarily to meet your goals.
