Anabolic / Androgenic

[crazyjoe]

I guess I'm just wondering if you guys think one is better than the other and why.(As far as affects)

In studies the anabolic ratio is determined by the increase in weight of the levator ani muscle in the rat while the anabolic ratio is determined by the increase in weight of the prostate.

Which do you think is better, bigger muscles or a bigger prostate?

That's a tough decision. A bigger muscle of the anal sphincter or a bigger prostate? lol
Bigger muscles, definitely bigger muscles

take androgenic drugs at the beginning of a cycle..anabolic to close it out...

The not the whole story though. The androgenic component is more of a factor in prostate hyperthrophy than first thought and the anabolic part will grow muscle. . For example, Proviron is pure DHT, thus pure androgen and it'll make you hard as a rock but won't grow much muscle. But your prostate will swell up like a watermelon. Primobolin was thought to be murder on the prostate but it's not really that bad. (Could be that it was thought to be DHT beased but it's DHB based -- but that's another story). The anabolic component has less side effects and , in my opinion, should be emphasizied in a stack though it's the androgenic which causes more of a strength increase. This is why I think you only need two compounds per cycle.

For example, Proviron is pure dihydrotestosterone, thus pure androgen and it'll make you hard as a rock but won't grow much muscle. But your prostate will swell up like a watermelon. Primobolin was thought to be murder on the prostate but it's not really that bad. (Could be that it was thought to be DHT beased but it's DHB based -- but that's another story).

It would be nice if there was a purely anabolic compound in the same way that proviron is purely androgenic.

Incidentally, Scherring sponsored a study where they took men who were on 100mg/week of test-e and put half of them on the same dosage of Primobolan.

The after 6 weeks, the Primobolan group showed decreased E2 levels, an increase in prostate size, and a reduction in libido compared to the testosterone group.

The libido loss was likely due to the reduction in estrogen (which makes perfect sense since primobolan does not aromatise). However, the prostate results would indicate that primobolan is more androgenic than testosterone (in humans).

I'm a newb, but isn't test best?

Well, the discussion here isn't over various testosterones, but rather various different anabolic/androgenic steroids.
