Halotestin - Fighter's Drug of Choice - Doctor's Analysis of Side Effects & Properties

A physician’s analysis of Halotestin aka Halotest or fluoxymesterone and its side effects and properties. Halotestin was often used by boxers and fighters and in other weight class sports, because it builds strength and may cause aggression, without water weight gain. However, it comes with serious side effects. Like any oral steroid, liver toxicity is a major concern, along with cardiovascular and lipid toxicity. In addition, there is little evidence it actually has the fast-acting properties for which it is often used. If you are considering taking halotestin, have taken it, or are a doctor who may have patients who have taken it, please watch this video!

Hey, Doc! I am a Doctor in Veterinary Med, and i have been studing a little bit of Endocrinology since the last 12 years. So i just wanted to tell you that your videos are so interesting and amazing, full of good and new info and i can tell you are truly a Pro when it comes to Endo...! Your work will benefit a lot of guys, so congrats and hats off!!!

[newbluerugby]

I’ve watched almost all your videos. I’m sure you’ll never read this, but I could really feel your passion in this one, felt like U were talking directly to me. Thanks for all you do Doc

I’ve been binge watching these videos for the last couple days. I’ve never taken a steroid, just stuck with protein and maybe creatine. This subject is so fascinating, especially with the way the Doc presents the material. I think the majority of the people who workout would love to try some of these “medicines” but the negative side effects just seem too risky.

Thank you for concise and well-presented information. You have been creating awesome content. Please keep up the wonderful work. I'm not even in the health field. I'm a software engineer who's also a science enthusiast.

I ran a cycle of 200mg per week of Testosterone with 20mg per day of Halotestin for seven weeks. ( I know that is longer than recommended with the Halo. ) The strength gains with Halo seemed to be on par with an equal dosage of Dianabol, but without any water weight, which is to say that it was pretty strong in the strength-gain department. I didn't have elevated liver enzymes at the end of the cycle, but it could have been due to the fact that I was running TUDCA and Milk Thistle, idk. I had no cosmetic side effects like acne, gyno or hair loss . I didn't feel any more aggressive than normal on Halo, which made me think that this side effect is often just a placebo effect. Unfortunately, the strength gains were the least permanent out of any steroid I have tried. A couple of months later, my lifts had gone....not all the way down to where they were before the cycle, but the amount that I kept was something that I could have easily gotten from 200mg of test, all on its own. Given that this is the most expensive oral steroid I have tried, my overall opinion of Halotestin is quite low.

Makes you wonder how many boxers during the 70s were using halo. Those guys had aggression out the ass lol

[catalyn]

every steroid is "classic" for this doc xD

[MrHydevsDrJekyll]

Halo is a pure performance enhancement supplement. This would be perfect for anything that requires endurance and strength

[OilFan]

Doc I've used halo and can confirm that it did make me significantly more aggressive and I was the strongest I've ever been when taking it.

[hounddogg]

Great message! Hopefully people listen and understand the dangers of PED use

[RichardsWorld]

@3:46 there was an audio malfunction when you meant to say Arnold 😃😃😃

[shahinmsh]

Hello dr . Thank you very much for your great videos . As someone that has no education on medical language. Can I suggest when explaining the side effects use easier terms so someone as no knowledge about the words can understand!!!!

[ergomedasa]

Great video Doc! Also another AAS i have heard that is used by fighters to increase agression is Mibolerone (aka. Cheque Drops)

[cooldudeiscoolreal]

how dangerous is this when used in a very limited way such as 1-2 days at a time at most for specific events?

[dmanzawsome]

I wonder if fighters in sports that allow TRT have asked their doctors for a temporary use of Halo?

[dt]

I like how he keeps calling me a doctor:)

[leandromantovani]

Great video! I always wanted to know something more about it cause i’ve heard a lot about this drug. Thanks doc 😉👍

[nystagmus]

Thanks doctor
I am a PCP as well and the use of all these anabolics among young people are rampant here in florida. Anavar in women included.
Anecdotally, what i have noticed is young people that I suspect are on anabolics, have facial folds that they should develop in their 40s and 50s. Nasolabial wrinkle folds should NOT be there at 25 years of age. young men and women are looking much older . Secondly there is no gym machine that works out the face: their faces more muscular than average. There is almost a signature look to the face that definitely makes me suspect exogenous hormone use.

[TheBeastgp]

Most competitive bodybuilders use this drug the last 2 weeks before a It's an incredible compound but very toxic.

[esanchezu]

hi doc, you got a video on Testosterone pellets?
