anabolic/androgenic/aromatization questions

[lardo5150]

I am searching for this and can only find definitions of anabolic and androgenic. Could somone post a link to SOMEWHERE with the terminology of all three, I am trying to help myself understand these.
From what I gather from androgenic, why would someone want a steroid that is more androgenic than anabolic, isn't androgenic the side effects?

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/catequi.htm There it talks a lot about gear, and it will show you the aromatization of a lot of them. Hope it helps

thanks cory, I will take a look now.

ok, the link did not really have what I was looking for. Looking for more of definitions.

OK, found it finally
aramatization is the formation of female characteristics
anabolic is the building of tissue, like muclse
dont really understand the definition of androgenic for sure yet. Anyone?

androgenic is formation of male properties

anabolic is a greek word that means to build by complex means, cause building muscle tissue is a complicated process

aromataze is an enzyme produced by the liver, converts testosterone to estrogen for a quick and dirty explanation of a more complex process.

Indy, that was perfect.
But my question (probrally a stupid one), why would you want something more androgenic, wouldnt you rather have the anabolic.

By the way, sweet cars.

You would want something more anabolic vs androgenic..for example anavar is not very androgenic and it doesn't aromatize when taken in small amounts, but it's not as anabolic as anadrol, anadrol is more anabolic but aromatizes more so you get more gyno from it it's also very androgenic so you get more hair loss, more oily skin, more body hair-androgenic sides, the big mass builders are inherently more androgenic but more anabolic, the cutters are less androgenic and less anabolic..i saw a scale once that rates the various steroids anabolic vs androgenic..

As Indy69camaro said. androgenic involves more to do with male characteristics. These include strength, often without extra growth. If you are competing in sports where the extra weight of more muscle would not be good then you'd likely veer more towards androgens than anabolics.

Anabolic, the opposite of catabolic, is to do with growth and tissue build-up.

Aromatization is the word to describe the activity of aromatase, an enzyme which converts testosterones into oestrogen.
