You must keep in mind that when something is classified as an anabolic, means that it is more inclined to produce muscle growth than androgenic side effects. Both effects are mediated through the same receptor and growth is not produced by androgen receptor activation in the muscle tissue alone (other CNS tissues, for example, are intergal to this process as well), It is said that a reduction of androgenic activity of a compound will often coincide with a similar lowering of it's muscle-building effectiveness. If we look at just overall muscle growth, androgenic steroids( usually potent due to their displaying a high affinity to bind with the androgen receptor in all tissues) are typically much more productive muscle-builders than anabolics, which usually bind with lower affinity in many tissues. With all of the analogues produced throughout the years, the base androgen testosterone is still considered to be one of the most effective bulking agents. We must simply deal with more side effects. Those who want to avoid the harsh sides should therefore forfeit more muscle and accept the anabolic to have a more comfortable cycle.
