You don’t hear about Sten much, but it’s an interesting combination of useful compounds which may make its way into your primary cycle one day. Let’s address some of the most frequently asked questions regarding use of Sten.
Q: First off, what exactly is in Sten?
A: A standard two mL container of Sten will contain 75 mg testosterone Cypionate, 25 mg testosterone propionate, and 20 mg of DHEA.
Q: What are the benefits to my physique of using these compounds?
A: The testosterone benefits should be obvious. DHEA is a supplement which plays a key role in hormone conversion to testosterone in your body. It is not a steroid. Rather, it is a precursor to testosterone production in your body. Many elderly lack it in a major way, and take it for normal function. It is believed by many bodybuilders that use of it will help to foster an environment in the body that is far more conductive to muscle growth. It can’t hurt, so why not include it? Inclusion of a faster and slower acting testosterone is, of course, also a major selling point!
Q: What is the ideal dosage for men?
A: Anywhere between 600 and 1200 mg per week is useful for the male athlete, depending upon body size and composition. A 150-pound man standing 5 foot 3 inches with two years of training experience is going to require a smaller Sten shot than a 220-pound athlete who has been training fifteen years. Standard recommended dosages should vary as a result.
Q: Can women use Sten?
A: Sten contains two flavors of testosterone, and that’s already two flavors too many for females. The use of testosterone by women leads to virilization, which is very much undesirable!
Q: How long is Sten active in my body?
A: About ten days after injection, you will no longer see any effects. Therefore it is imperative that the athlete inject 2 to 3 times per week.
Q: How long after my last Sten shot will I show up positive on a drug test?
A: Due to the two testosterone esters present, it would take about 12 weeks for the compounds to completely clear the system. There are masking agents which could speed up this process.
Q: Will Sten make me bigger and stronger?
A: By definition – yes it will! Within 3 weeks of starting your 12 week cycle, you’ll see increases in strength, muscle size, and aggression in the gym.
Q: What side effects should I be concerned about?
A: Gynecomastia, hair recession, and acne are all common testosterone usage concerns.
Q: Any Sten stack recommendations?
A: It’s testosterone, so any testosterone stack rules apply! Trenbolone is great for advanced stacking, and Dianabol is useful for beginners. Deca or Equipoise may be ideal for intermediate steroid users.
Q: Is Sten expensive?
A: Actually, Sten is one of the more affordable and abundant steroids that you can find. It’s about half the price of Sustanon, a four-tiered testosterone release compound. Fakes are rare, and it is perhaps one of the top three easiest testosterone products to locate.
