Trenbolone
( Parabolan)
Trenbolone is also much
more potent than testosterone at suppressing endogenous androgen production.
This makes clear the fact that estrogen is not the only culprit with
negative feedback inhibition, as here there is no buildup of this hormone to
report here. There is however some activity as a progestin inherent in this
compound, as trenbolone is a 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone) derivative (a
trait characteristic of these compounds). However it seems likely that much
of its suppressive nature still stems from its powerful androgen action.
With the strong impact trenbolone has on endogenous testosterone, of course
the use of a stimulating drug such as HCG and/or Clomid®/Nolvadex® is
recommended when concluding steroid therapy (a combination is preferred).
Without their use it may take a prolonged period of time for the hormonal
balance to resume, as the testes may at first not be able to normally
respond to the resumed output of endogenous gonadotropins due to an
atrophied state. Those who have used Parabolan regularly would often claim
it to be indispensable. A weekly dosage of 3 ampules (228mg) was the most
popular range when running a cycle, however many did find it highly
effective in lesser amounts. Although a weekly administration schedule would
prove sufficient, athletes usually injected a single ampule per application,
the total amount spread evenly throughout the week. While Parabolan is quite
potent when used alone, it was generally combined with other steroids for an
even greater effect. Leading up to a show one could successfully add a
non-aromatizing anabolic such as Winstrol® or Primobolan®. Such combinations
will elicit a greater level density and hardness to the build, often proving
dramatic to a stage appearance. We could also look for bulk with this drug,
and addition stronger compounds like Dianabol or Testosterone. While the
mass gain would be quite formidable with such a stack, some level of water
retention would probably also accompany it. Moderately effective anabolics
such Deca-Durabolin® or Equipoise® would be somewhat of a halfway point,
providing extra strength and mass but without the same level of water bloat
we see with more readily aromatized steroids. |
