Trenbolone is one of the most popular drugs used by bodybuilders today
and, when you look at the stats, it is not hard to see why. A very potent
androgen with strong anabolic activity, Trenbolone is an extremely effective
hardening and cutting agent. In fact, it is considered indispensable when it
comes to pre contest preparation. However, it is also extremely valuable in the
off-season as it creates a rapid build up of strength and muscle mass. In fact,
the anabolic effect is often compared to testosterone or Dianabol with one very
important difference � it does not convert to estrogen. This is what truly sets
it apart, as most mass building drugs readily aromatize, leading to many
estrogen related problems (e.g. water retention gynecomastia).
Due to the lack of water retention, the gains when using this drug are more
easily maintained on discontinuing its use. In addition to this, a very hard and
defined appearance can be achieved. Also, since gynecomastia is not an issue,
there should not be any need to add an anti-estrogen as long as Trenbolone is
the only steroid being used.
Due to the highly androgenic nature of this drug an increase in the burning of
body fat is observed and a much tighter physique can be achieved without having
to resort to extreme dieting.
TRENBOLONE- POINTS OF INTEREST
�Trenbolone is more potent than testosterone with an effect being gauged as
three times as strong on a milligram for milligram basis. It is also four times
as anabolic as Deca Durabolin and ten times as androgenic. This makes the
majority of the weight gained on this drug lean, quality muscle.
�Trenbolone also creates an increase in the levels of the hormone IGF-1 (Insulin
like Growth Factor-1) which is highly anabolic within muscle tissue.
�Trenbolone has a stronger binding affinity to the androgen receptor than
testosterone. This feature is a major contributing factor to the process of
anabolism and fat loss.
�By promoting nitrogen retention and protein synthesis within the muscle
Trenbolone allows the food you eat and the nutritional supplements you take to
be used more effectively. It also reduces levels of the catabolic hormone
cortisol.
�Trenbolone is also involved in the production of red blood cells and increases
the rate of glycogen replenishment (both of which contribute not only to stamina
but also to recovery from workouts)
SIDE EFFECTS
A reduction in aerobic capacity is the most common complaint with Trenbolone.
This is thought to be caused by bronchial dilation resulting from an increase in
prostaglandin production. The condition known as �Tren Cough� is often a
complaint registered with users of the Acetate version (Trenbolone is available
in Acetate and Enanthate forms). Androgenic side effects may also be experienced
which include oily skin, aggressive behavior, acne and hair loss. For this
reason women would be advised to stay away from this drug.
DOSAGES
If using Trenbolone Enanthate, doses are normally in the 200-600mg/day, since
the ester length of this drug is reasonably long. This is usually split up into
twice weekly injections.
Trenbolone Acetate is usually administered in a daily dosage of 37.5 -75mg and,
although a potent solitary steroid, it is often combined with other drugs for
greater effect. This would be Winstrol or Primobolan for cutting purposes and
Dianabol or Testosterone for mass building cycles. The addition of Dianabol or
Testosterone would also increase the level of water retention experienced.
Due to the strong impact Trenbolone has on endogenous (within the body)
testosterone levels the use of a drug such as HCG and/or Clomid is recommended
on concluding a cycle (preferably a combination of the two). Without this
strategy it may take some time for the hormonal balance to return to normal.
