Description
Trenbolone is a very well-known injectable anabolic steroid, and milligram for milligram it is the most powerful anabolic steroid commercially and conventionally available. It is an anabolic steroid that tends to invoke both intimidation as well as amazement among those who read about it. The truth is that although Trenbolone is not as harsh of an anabolic steroid as many make it out to be, it is by no means a beginner compound and does need to be taken seriously when the use of it is considered. It is typically used by intermediate to advanced level anabolic steroid users, and seldom used by beginners until several cycles of experience has been built up.
The chemical modifications described above result in Trenbolone becoming dramatically more potent of an androgen and an anabolic than its progenitor hormone Nandrolone, or even Testosterone. Testosterone is used as the baseline reference by which all other anabolic steroids are measured against and compared to (much like how the Celsius temperature scale utilizes the boiling and freezing point of water as the base reference for temperature measurement). As such, we can put Trenbolone’s anabolic and androgenic strength into perspective by comparing it to Testosterone. Testosterone possesses an anabolic and androgenic rating of 100 each, respectively. Trenbolone holds an anabolic and androgenic rating of both 500 each, respectively. The modification responsible for making Trenbolone five times stronger than Testosterone is its two double bonds at carbons 19 and 11. Furthermore, for better understanding and perspective, every potential Trenbolone user must realize that in order to achieve the equivalent strength of 200mg of Trenbolone, one would have to administer 1,000mg of Testosterone. In order for an individual to achieve the strength of 500mg of Trenbolone, the equivalent of 2,500mg of Testosterone would be required.
This establishes an extremely important and interesting point for every user to remember: Trenbolone is an extremely strong anabolic steroid (the strongest conventionally available) and it is very evident from the numbers presented that in order to achieve impressive performance and physique changes, large doses of Trenbolone are not necessary and small amounts can carry gains a long way. Therefore, it must be said that when it comes to Trenbolone, a little goes a long way.
In terms of its metabolism, it has been previously mentioned that Trenbolone is totally resistant to the aromatase enzyme (which is the enzyme that is responsible for the conversion of aromatizable androgens into Estrogen). Therefore, Trenbolone holds zero Estrogenic activity as it cannot convert into Estrogen in any amount. Trenbolone also is completely resistant to the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which is the enzyme responsible for the reduction of Testosterone into the much stronger androgen Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Trenbolone here as well is immune from interaction with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme and cannot convert into DHT. However, it must be understood that Trenbolone in its own right is a very androgenic hormone (remember that Trenbolone holds an androgenic rating of 100 versus Testosterone’s androgenic rating of 100).
The extreme strength of the anabolic nature of Trenbolone alongside the fact that it cannot convert into Estrogen are all factors that enable Trenbolone to be such a versatile and flexible anabolic steroid – it can provide massive strength and lean mass gains in a bulk, and can also be utilized for cutting and fat loss phases as well. These features certainly crush the age-old rumor that Trenbolone is only useful for fat loss or cutting and/or for a pre-competition phase. These rumors have circulated from individuals within the anabolic steroid using community who are uneducated on Trenbolone and its features. This is also very supportive of the fact that there is no reason for utilizing Trenbolone at extremely high and unnecessary doses. This is especially true if an individual is a beginner to Trenbolone use.
