The term testosterone, or “T”, is commonly tossed around locker rooms and message boards. However, many bodybuilders – even those who regularly use anabolic steroids – do not know much about the variations of testosterone available. Let’s check out some of the common ones so that you may develop a baseline of knowledge on this topic. Use the information found here as a starting point for selecting which testosterone product is best for you! Dihydrotestosterone This version of T is not toxic to the liver. Administrered transdermally or via injection, Dihydrotestosterone is used to treat cases of gynecomastia. This version of T cannot be converted to estrogen, and it used primarily in medical circles for restoring distorted T levels. Fluoxymestone Better known as halotestin, this popular oral steroid is highly toxic, yet highly effective for muscle building. Mesterolone Sold ...

Many bodybuilders suffer from acne. Whether it’s due to age, high testosterone levels, the hours of sweating at the gym, or cycling, it’s a reality of the sport. The body reacts to androgens and acne is the result. (HCG and Clomid are big offenders.) Since the purpose of bodybuilding is to make the body look bigger, leaner, and BETTER, a case of bad acne can detract tremendously from a physique. Here are a few techniques that can be used to help stop the pimples from raining on your parade. Take frequent showers Tan one to two times per week Change your shirt frequently – even during long workouts or before engaging in cardio Hot shower and Clearasil Soap Scrub immediately after training Wash bed sheets once per week Locate a DHT (Dihydrotestoreone) blocker or more scientifically called a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor; a natural and ...

Natural testosterone in the body is a beautiful thing.  It is produced by the testes upon orders form the pituitary gland, and all is controlled by the endocrine system.  It is delivered consistently to the body and its delivery is regulated based upon need.  When functioning perfectly, it’s a well-oiled machine that does collect some rust as it ages, and there is little issue with prostate health until age 40. Injected testosterone is a whole ‘nother story.  Converted to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) by the body, it immediately sets off a chain of events, which can be hard for the body to overcome.  The pituitary gland orders the testes to halt production of testosterone once it senses the presence of high artificial levels of testosterone or DHT in the body.  The receptors in the prostate react to the DHT by creating growth of ...

Substance: dihydrotestosterone Pesomax is an injectable form of dihydrotestosterone. Pesomax is very popular with European athletes, but is seldom available in the U.S. Bodybuilders like Pesomax for contest preparation. Pesomax reportedly promotes muscle growth and lipolysis. Its effectiveness holds good even on low calorie diets. Pesomax is not a steroid for gaining substantial strength of weight. Two of the bodybuilders interviewed claimed that it is used in a stack with Protropin (GH). Pesomax will not aromatise under any conditions and is not toxic to the liver. The bodybuilders who are using this drug are obtaining it from European sources or from Canada it seems. Pesomax has gained popularity in drug tested events because it has escaped detection thus far. Pesomax dosages seen were 100 mg every other day.

Miotolan, is a synthetic derivative of dihydrotestosterone. Until 1990 Miotolan was not detectable during any doping tests and could thus be taken by athletes even on the day of a competition. When looking at the application of Miotolan you learn even more unusual things: This steroid is used as a lipid reducer. Miotolan is suitable for long-term treatment of arteriosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia. Miotolan reduces the cholesterol level and increases the "good" HDL value. In Japan Miotolan is a standard treatment to lower cholesterol levels. Miotolan does not cause water and salt retention and does not aromatize. Since the tablets are effective for only a brief period of time they must be taken several times a day. Miotolan has a predominantly androgenic effect and only a very low repression of the body's own testosterone production. Although it is potentially hepatoxic a possible ...

Substance: Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Dihydrotestosterone is a parent compound of a number of steroid reparations. The hormone itself is one, which occurs naturally in the body. DHT is responsible for several of the androgenic effects of testosterone like facial hair, genetic balding, and male reproductive organ development. Dihydrotestosterone plays a major role in the building of skeletal muscles. A great percentage of endogenous and exogenous testosterone’s are converted to DHT in the system which many feel results in the actual anabolism of muscle tissue. Common side effects of DHT are acne and accelerated balding.

Denistenil, an injectable steroid is a close derivative of Dihydrotestosterone. Denistenil is high in androgens, but will not aromatize. It is not toxic to the liver either. Denistenil is primarily used for cutting, or hardening up lean muscles. It will not cause water retention, and the high androgens seem to help glycogen storage, thus keeping the muscles full and ripped. Dosages seen were 100 mg every three or four days. This drug is too androgenic for women.

Substance: Androstanolone Androstanolone is almost identical to the body's own dihydrotestosterone which, as we know, is formed by the peripheral conversion of testosterone. Some therefore call Androstanolone a synthetic dihydrotestosterone. This steroid has a predominantly androgenic effect and, due to its structure, cannot be converted into estrogen. For a fast buildup of power and muscle mass Androstanolone is of little value. It used to be the athlete's favorite competition steroid since it helped to obtain a harder muscle through a lower fat content by increasing the androgen level without aromatizing. Numerous athletes used Androstanolone during workouts for doping-tested championships since the substance remains in the body for only a short time and the testosterone/epitestosterone value is not influenced. Another positive characteristic is that the injectable version is not liver-toxic. Today, however Androstanolone is rarely used by athletes. One reason for this ...
