Trenbolone is a powerful anabolic steroid that came to us from veterinary medicine and is used there to increase the weight and appetite of cattle. Subsequently, the drug became of interest to track and field athletes, bodybuilders and powerlifters. It has become a universal drug for achieving various tasks. This is a powerful steroid that is many times superior to the effects of testosterone and some nandrolone esters. This property makes it indispensable during the period of weight gain and during the drying period.

Trenbolone - used by injection. Here it can be found in several forms: parabolan (trenbolone cyclohexyl methyl carbonate), trenbolone acetate and trenbolone enanthate, they all differ in the duration of action, i.e. half-life. Depending on their goals, athletes choose one of the ethers.

Let's consider Trenbolone acetate as one of the most common drugs for increasing muscle mass and preparing for competitions.

Types and brands of Trenbolone

The drug Trenbolone is available in three main forms, under different brand names. It is not used in its original form, but only the following derivatives are accepted:

• Trenbolone acetate is the most common form of the drug, but its effect is very short-lived and therefore requires daily injections of 50 mg. Brands: Tren, Finaject , Trenbol-100 , Finaplex, Finaplix, Finajet. It is acetate that is in greatest demand among bodybuilders.
• Trenbolone enanthate has a longer duration of action - this anabolic lasts approximately 10 days. The optimal dosage is 300 mg per week. You can take it at one time, or you can divide it into two injections.
• Trenbolone trenbolone hexahydrobenzyl carbonate or cyclohexyl methyl carbonate - produced under the brand name Parabolan. It has the same duration of action and dosage as the previous form.

What is Trenbolone Acetate?

Until recently, Trenbolone Acetate was produced only for veterinary purposes and was called Finajet and Finaplix.
The first drug has been discontinued since 188, but the second is still in use. It should be recognized that these drugs practically did not appear on the domestic market. But now you can buy Parabolan. This is a tableted AAS containing trenbolone acetate as an active ingredient. It is manufactured by British Dragon Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Each steroid tablet contains 25 milligrams of the active ingredient. It should also be noted that Parabolan does not undergo alkylation during production and for this reason can be destroyed by liver cells.

To get the desired effect from using the drug, its dosage should be in the range from 200 to 300 milligrams. Trenbolone is a very powerful steroid, but in comparison with Methenolone, its structure lacks a methyl group at position 1, which significantly reduces its bioavailability. For this reason, the daily dose of the drug should not be less than 75 milligrams, and the optimal dose is from 10 to 125 milligrams.

Compared to other AAS, Trenbolone Acetate has the shortest half-life of about two days. But you should still focus on one day and when using the drug, use it daily in equal quantities at short intervals.

Although Parabolan has certain disadvantages, it has shown itself to be good. We will also soon be able to purchase an injectable version of acetate from the same British Dragon Pharmaceuticals Ltd. The manufacturer honestly warns that this drug is intended for veterinary use. But many athletes know the quality of the products of this Thai company and you can be sure that it will not let you down here either. The injectable steroid should be used in quantities of 50 to 100 milligrams per day. Although with equal success it can be administered every second day in the amount of 100 milligrams.

Purposes of use and action of Trenbolone

Like all AAS (androgenic anabolic steroids), this drug is based on modified testosterone , a male sex hormone that plays a decisive role in the growth of muscle tissue and strengthening of bones. One of the most important qualities of any of the above forms of Trenbolone is the absence of aromatization - that is, the conversion of an anabolic steroid into estrogen. And this excludes the development of secondary sexual characteristics (gynecomastia) in men.

This AAS is used both for gaining muscle mass and for drying them. In addition to all this, it produces effects such as:

• Significantly increases strength and muscle mass (on average 10 kg per course).
• Does not retain fluid in the body, which has a positive effect on muscle definition.
• Quick results. Already after the first dose, a significant surge of strength may be observed.
• It has an anti-catabolic effect associated with nitrogen retention in the body, of which approximately 16% muscle tissue consists.
• Increased endurance by increasing the number of red blood cells in the blood.
• Burning fat deposits. So trenbolone is very suitable for cutting.
• Reducing the concentration of cortisol (stress hormone).

The influence of sex hormones on the body

Testosterone:

• Participates in the development of male genital organs.
• Regulates spermatogenesis and sexual behavior.
• Affects nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism.
• Increases protein synthesis and inhibits their breakdown.
• Lowers blood glucose levels.
• Promotes greater inclusion of fats in energy supply.
• Increases libido.

DHT:

• Participates in the development of male genital organs.
• Regulates spermatogenesis and sexual behavior.
• Elevation promotes baldness.
• Participates in the functioning of the central nervous system.

Estradiol:

• Participates in the functioning of the reproductive system.
• Participates in protein synthesis.
• Normalizes the condition of the cardiovascular system.
• Normalize the lipid profile.

Prolactin:

• Regulates the synthesis of testosterone in the testicles by regulating enzymes.
• Regulates the amount of seminal fluid.
• Participates in metabolism.
• Participates in the formation of immunity.
• Affects sexual desire.

All hormones must remain at their normal levels and be present in the body. And in a normal state, the body itself regulates the amount of all hormones through negative feedback.

Side effects from Trenbolone

This anabolic steroid has at least as many harmful side effects as positive ones. As you know, you have to pay for everything in life, and, alas, not always only with money. In this case, it’s also your health. If you decide to take a course, you can expect the following troubles:

• High blood pressure.
• Insomnia.
• Excessive and unreasonable aggressiveness, bordering on inadequacy.
• Toxic effects on the liver.
• Decreased sexual activity and desire. Testicular atrophy.
• The appearance of acne and inflamed areas on the skin (so-called “acne”).
• Increased skin oiliness.
• Baldness.
• In women, there is a risk of virile syndrome (ovarian inflammation).

Side effects

If you decide to take this androgenic steroid, you should be prepared for a number of negative actions, such as:

• taking steroids leads to the development of arterial hypertension;
• the skin secretes a large amount of oily secretion, acne may appear;
• irritability, sometimes even aggression;
• decreased sexual desire after drug withdrawal, sometimes testicular atrophy.

If the course of taking trenbolone includes Clenbuterol or Ephedrine, then the development of the above side effects is accelerated. To prevent the development of these undesirable manifestations, you can take gonadotropin and Cabergoline.

Trenbolone solo course

The course of this steroid is contraindicated for women and beginners. And so, if you are a fearless athlete who is not afraid of all these horrors in the form of possible side effects, then you should adhere to some rules and correctly plan a course.

• In no case should you exceed the maximum dosage, no matter how much you want to. The recommended dosages are written just above, in the section describing the types of the drug.
• It is recommended to use the “ladder” method, in which the steroid is first taken in minimal dosages, gradually increasing to optimal doses. This will allow you to identify the negative effects of this steroid or individual intolerance, with minimal harm to health.
• The duration of a solo course should not exceed 6 weeks. For greater effectiveness, a special diet to increase muscle mass will not be superfluous. After two weeks of use, start combining Trenbolone with Gonadotropin if you do not want to be left without offspring. Gonadotropin - once a week, 500-1000 IU. Stop after two weeks from the last Tren injection.
• After 2-3 days, from the date of the last use of acetate (if you used another type of Trenbolone, then after about 2-3 weeks), it is necessary to carry out post-cycle therapy.

Rules for using the steroid

Since this is a short-acting steroid, injections must be done frequently. To ensure smooth hormonal levels throughout the course, administer Acetate every third day, 50-150 mg. Most often, bodybuilders use an anabolic steroid for 1-2 months. It should be recalled here that if you take Tren for more than 6 weeks, you must definitely use Gonadotropin.

Another feature of administering this drug is to conduct PCT after discontinuation of Tren. The fact is that you cannot take Tamoxifen during PCT. This anti-estrogen is very popular among athletes. However, it promotes an increase in the number of prolactin receptors, which should not be allowed. Thus, athletes have only one option - Clomiphene Citrate. Of course, there is also Toremifene, but this drug is in little demand among bodybuilders due to its high cost.

Up to a certain point, solo training courses will be very effective. However, the body adapts to the work of any medication. Once this happens, course performance begins to decline rapidly. In such a situation, you cannot increase the dosage, but you should start conducting combined courses. It should be remembered here that tren cannot be taken simultaneously with Nandrolone. The most popular combinations are short Testosterones, Oxandrolone, Primobolan, Turinabol, Drostanolone, Stanozolol and Winstrol.

Combined drying course

If your goal is not only to gain muscle mass, but also to have a beautiful body shape, then it is recommended to carry out a drying course in combination with other drugs.

• The combination of Trenbolone acetate + Stanozolol is very popular. The course lasts 5 weeks. It will be enough to purchase 10 ampoules of 1 ml each. Tren injection solution (or other brands of acetate) and 100 tablets of Stanozolol 10 mg. Tren injections should be carried out twice a week, one ampoule + 4 tablets of Stanozolol daily.
• The Trenbolone + Turinabol regimen is also common. According to this scheme, inject one ampoule per day of acetate and drink 2 tablets per day of Turinabol. At the same time, it is better to take Turinabol in the morning or afternoon, and Tren in the evening.

Dosage and duration of use

The use of Trenbolone acetate is only possible for men. Use by women, even in small dosages, is not recommended.

The safe dosage range is 50 mg every day or 100 mg every other day. Since the action of the acetate ester is shorter than that of the propionate ester. It is trenbolone acetate that is suitable for short courses lasting 4-5 weeks. Start with small dosages to check your individual tolerance to the drug.

Where to buy Trenbolone and at what price

As you understand, you are unlikely to be able to buy Tren or its varieties (like any other anabolic steroid) in a pharmacy. They buy such crap only in specialized online stores. Its cost is from 3500 rubles per 10 ml. This data is from only one online store. You might find it cheaper. The price depends on both the manufacturer and the distributor of the product, so the difference can be quite significant. Our site does not sell or advertise anything.

Trenbolone and sediment on the walls of the vial (barrel) – to heat or not to heat?

Due to the chemical properties of Trenbolone, it is difficult to purify to crystal transparency, for example, any T ester, so some plaque inside the vial is an adequate state of the substance, as a rule, it is eliminated by heating - crystallized lumps dissolve in the oil and become homogeneous. As an option, 2/3 of an ordinary mug with a total volume of 250 ml is filled with hot water (70 degrees), the barrel is immersed in the container for a few minutes, then taken out and shaken, then the heating procedure can be repeated again if not all the lumps have dissolved. They can also be heated in the microwave, but due to the fact that the metal seal on the neck can spark, so you need to set the “oven” mode.

P.S

Well, you have become familiar with the main characteristics of another androgenic anabolic steroid. Whether to consume this rubbish intended for livestock internally is up to you to decide. Let us only recall that there are a lot of athletes who have achieved high performance without using any chemicals. Yes, it is difficult to resist the temptation to quickly build up muscles, with excellent relief, and become like Apollo. But is it worth it if in a few years you will pay for it with your health, plus spend a lot of money on treatment for the consequences of this “magic elixir”? In general, the choice is yours. We hope that real reviews will help you choose the right path in the sports field.

What is Trenbolone Cyclohexyl Methyl Carbonate?

This Trenbolone ester was previously produced only by the French company Negma.
It was discontinued quite a long time ago, but not forgotten. Counterfeits periodically appeared on the market until the Thai company Body Research Co. took over the production of cyclohexyl methyl carbonate. The steroid is available in injectable form. It should be noted that in our country the drug is almost impossible to find. For this reason, we will not devote much time to it. Let's just say that the half-life of the steroid is from 3 to 4 days.

Reviews of Trenbolone

Novel. City of Alchevsk. 23 years old: “I put different doses of tren, so that’s it. 76 mg was fine, but when I put in one and a half cc, I had a cough and a sore throat.”

Oleg. 27 years. City of Zlatoust: “I used Tren. Acetate, but in small doses. I decided to get tested and almost fell. E2 level has been increased 12 times! They also write that tren supposedly does not increase estrogen. But the boobs, nevertheless, did not grow; visually, I still observed gynecomastia. But increased sweating, increased aggression and hatred of others (often unfounded) are annoying, and the muscles cramp.”

Alexander. 29 years. City of Bolsherechye: “I also used acetate, but together with Exemestane, Testosterone cypionate, Masteron and some other crap - I don’t even remember what it’s called. In short, estradiol jumped 3 times, plus some kind of wild depression. After consulting with my sports doctor, suspicion fell on Tren. After its cancellation, the indicators seemed to improve. I don't know for how long. Chemistry, you know..."

Trenbolone is not a brother to Nandrolone - similarities, differences and why they are not “brothers”

Any trenbolone ester contains 19-nortestosterone (19-nor is an anabolic steroid derived from testosterone, lacking a carbon atom in the 19th position). Taking into account this characteristic, the hormone belongs to the same class of steroids as nandrolone. Essentially, Trenbolone is simply a modified form of Nondralone that has a double bond at carbons 9 and 11. These double bonds slow down the hormone's metabolism, inhibit aromatization, and greatly enhance its binding affinity for the androgen receptor. These simple but important changes make Trebolone one of the most powerful anabolic androgenic steroids of all time.

Differences between Trenbolone and Nandrolone

1. A serious difference is that trenbolone is not susceptible to the action of 5-alpha reductase, which significantly increases its potential - nandrolone, under the influence of this enzyme, is converted into inactive dihydronandrolone
2. the anabolic and anrogenic potential of trenbolone is several times higher than the potential of nandrolone decaonate. Androgenic index of trenbolone: ​​500% (nandrolone has 150%), androgenic index of trenbolone 500% (nandrolone has only 30%)
3. Trenbolone, unlike nandrolone, not only leads to an increase in growth hormone, but also doubles insulin-like growth factor (IGF, somatomedin), and trenbolone also leads to a decrease in cortisol levels
4. trenbolone, due to the lack of the ability to be converted into estradiol, has a fat-burning effect, but is not suitable for a mass-gaining cycle, but nandrolone, on the contrary, has the property of converting into estradiol without aromatization and is excellent for a mass-gaining cycle, but is absolutely not suitable for cutting
5. the risk of developing gynecomastia on a solo course of nandrolone is many times greater than on a solo course of trenbolone, the reason is banal: nandrolone not only contributes to a significant increase in prolactin in the body, but is also converted into estradiol (5 times less than testosterone, but still)
6. Unlike nandrolone, a solo course of trenbolone is quite powerful and is completely unsuitable for beginners and women, the limit dosage for trenbolone acetate is 50 milligrams daily, for enanthate – 600 milligrams weekly.

General scheme of PCT after AC courses

PCT (post cycle therapy) is a complex of drugs and sports supplements that are used in bodybuilding and strength sports to minimize side effects and complications after a cycle of steroid hormones or prohormones. Post-cycle therapy is extremely important when large doses of AS are used or when two or more anabolic drugs are taken simultaneously.

Post-cycle therapy with estrogen blockers is always carried out and only after the removal of anabolic hormones! It is also a good idea to use blood tests to find out the levels of Estradiol and Prolactin before starting PCT. If estradiol is elevated, take aramatase inhibitors to lower estradiol; if estradiol is elevated, recovery will take longer. If prolactin is elevated, use cabergoline; elevated prolactin will also slow down recovery.

To achieve good results, use steroids in recommended working doses, in the right combinations, also without exceeding the optimal cycle duration. With adequate use, the results will be stable, the rollback phenomenon will be minimal, and in most cases there will be no side effects at all. According to data from various analytical sources, side effects occur in 15-20% of cases and in only 3% they are irreversible.

“Train cough” – is there a danger?

The appearance of cough from the injection of oil-based AS is the result of local narrowing of the vein at the injection site and the entry of a certain amount of the substance into the bloodstream. Therefore, a cough as such can occur not only from trenbolone, but also from any other oil-based injectable AS. In general, this side effect is not dangerous to health; rather, it causes temporary inconvenience that disappears after a few minutes.

As for the cough caused by trenbolone, it is more pronounced than with all other AS drugs. This is due to the fact that, due to its chemical structure, trenbolone affects prostaglandins; when it enters the bloodstream, the substance disperses throughout the body, including the lungs, which causes a sharp narrowing of the pulmonary vesicles (i.e., a temporary spasm occurs). After some time, the substance dissolves in the general bloodstream, the concentration levels off and the cough goes away.

General recommendations for reducing the likelihood of coughing after an injection

1. Trenbolone in one syringe is mixed with any other AS, for example Testosterone ester
2. avoid getting into the vessel (check the blood absorption to ensure that the piston is pulled towards you before administering the drug) do not inject more than 2 cubes of the drug at a time
3. after the puncture, move the syringe piston very slowly, even slower than when injecting Testosterone
4. in the event of a cough, begin to breathe quickly in intermittent cycles of “inhale - exhale”, “inhale – exhale” (like after an exhausting sprint)
