Finasteride - anabolic on its own?

[nandi12]

I agree. I took it for almost a year to combat prostatic hyperplasia and had a dramatic decrease in libido. I now try to base my cycles on things that don't effect the prostate, and throw in just enough test to keep up physiological levels. I'm relatively old (46) so maybe this isn't such a concern to younger guys.

It is to me (25). Both the sex drive (mine hit rock bottom when not on test) and prostrate (been on big cycles where it enlarges - finasteride specifically proscar really helped out dramatically).

slopain,
Did you notice any "erectilie" problems while taking proscar with test? I just started finasteride, 2.5 mgs per day. I am taking EQ 300 mgs/wk and test 550 mgs/wk. And I take a randomn 10 mg dbol before workouts. I need to know what im in for.

DHT is much more androgenic then testosteron, but in muscle it gets rapidly converted to androstanediol, which is VERY weak anabolic.

Where did you find that info. Im not doubting you, but I have never heaqrd of DHT turning into Androstenediol. I can see how it makes sense, but to any appreciable rate???

And, it's not Androstenediol, but Androstanediol.
