Sustanon is a unique steroid in that it blends four testosterone esters, (propionate/ isocaproate/ decanoate/phenylpropionate) each with a different release time. It’s what Dan Duchaine referred to, in the very first steroid book “The Underground Steroid Handbook,” as a very “elegant” concept.
The original Sustanon even came with a pre-loaded syringe. No need for drawing, filling and switching needles. Pretty cool and convenient – in theory. The problem with this cute little bit of marketing is that the needle was a 21 gauge! Of course, you could switch needles but keep in mind, just 15 years ago there wasn’t easy access to needle, syringes et al. Most guys got them from veterinarian supply stores. If nothing else was available, there was no choice but to lance yourself with the enclosed 1 ½ “ 21 gauge spike. Today, Sustanon is available in vials and ampoules.
Much has been said about “which testosterone is best” and it’s a debate that may never be put to rest. Some experts believe there’s absolutely no difference since all testosterones are recognized in the body in the same way. In fact, when used for medical purposes, one is often substituted for another. Meanwhile, others will point out that shorter acting esters have a higher concentration of testosterone. (Misleading people into believing that they act quicker when in reality all test esters raise blood levels of T in no more than an hour). The ester is what keeps it active longer, essentially “spreading out” the dosage. For clarities sake, let’s keep it simple. All testosterones do the same thing. And the most popular, readily available and cost effective is testosterone enanthate..jpg)
Proviron is an interesting and often overlooked compound. It’s an orally active form of DHT and delivers all the good and the bad that DHT has to offer. DHT is pure androgen, but unlike testosterone, it doesn’t cause any water retention. DHT is also what makes muscle “hard.” It lowers SHBG (Sex hormone Binding Globulin) thus preventing estrogen to form and can be used to prevent aromatization from other compounds. DHT is also what attributes to erectile rigidity. All good stuff! There are drawbacks however, most notably prostate hypertrophy and hair loss. So one may say DHT is pure maleness.
Primobolan is the brand name for the anabolic steroid methenolone acetate. This drug is very similar in action the injectable version of the drug which is known as primobolan depot, except that with this drug it has been designed for oral administration instead of injection. The acetate ester makes the drug much more faster acting than the depot version. Methenolone acetate is a non C17 alpha alkylated oral steroid, which makes it one of the few commercially available oral agents that presents limited liver toxicity to the user. Methenolone was first developed in the 1960s. The pharmaceutical company Squibb first introduced the drug to the United States market in 1962. The agent was sold for a short time as a 20mg tablet under the brand name of Nibal. The large pharmaceutical company Schering out of West Germany was granted rights to the drug then marketed under the name of primobolan brand name. Shortly after this, nibal was removed from the U.S. market and never returned to the commercial market. Primobolan is prescribed as a lean tissue building anabolic agent, often used in cases where body wasting has occurred secondary to major surgery, infection, wasting disease, and malnutrition. Although primobolan has demonstrated a good record of medical safety, Schering has since withdrawn this drug from most of the markets.
