Trenbolone Acetate General Description
Trenbolone Acetate is a potent anabolic steroid that was first used for veterinary purposes to increase weight and stimulate appetite in reared animals. The steroid is not used in its basic form for longer action duration; instead, it is used in the form of esterified derivatives, with acetate being one of them. The anabolic drug is characterized by its high anabolic activity and produces a number of positive effects that are greatly valued in sports.
Apoxar Trenbolone Acetate is the most popular steroid ester, notable by its shortest action time (no more than 3 days). The active component settles in the fat deposits and is then gradually released into the bloodstream. The drug’s half-life determines the frequency of administration, which is not always convenient for beginners.
Trenbolone Acetate Benefits
Trenbolone Acetate has a high ability to bind, 5 times superior to that of testosterone. Apoxar Tren Acetate is considered to be an efficient drug when it comes to muscle growth and strength improvements. The anabolic steroid has gained its popularity due to the lack of estrogen activity, as it does not lend itself to conversion under the influence of aromatase. As the result, athletes DON’T have to deal with fluid retention and gynecomastia. The drug produces the following effects:
- increased muscle growth – it’s possible to gain up to 10 kg of muscle during an 8-week cycle;
- better strength performance;
- improved sexual vigor and libido (this effect varies from person to person and may not manifest at all);
- the concentration of the insulin-like growth factor is 2 times as high;
- accelerated burning of subcutaneous fat – this is an independent effect of the steroid, which is also caused by the increase in the production of growth hormone;
- lower cortisol concentration (it causes muscle tissue breakdown).
This anabolic drug is highly effective as part of a mass gain cycle as well as for cutting due to its fat burning effect. As the result, muscle tissues become more voluminous and tougher, with better vascularity and definition. Bodybuilders often use the steroid to perfect their physique. Competing athletes use the drug during precompetitive stages, as the active component can be detected up to 5 months after the cycle.
Trenbolone Acetate Possible Side Effects
Athletes may encounter such side effects as insomnia, hypertension, acne, hair loss, oily skin, aggression. The drug cycle may also lead to reduced sexual vigor and weak penile erection (a common occurrence). Such effects depend on the individual users and may even manifest as the opposite. Significantly exceeded dosages and the duration of the cycle may lead to testicular atrophy due to significant suppression of the testosterone production. Chorion gonadotrophic hormone injections and Cabergoline are used to prevent such reactions.
Trenbolone does NOT produce any toxic impact on the kidneys and liver. A lot of athletes think that acetate is toxic, but that’s simply not true. Urine acquires a red tint due to metabolites excreted from the body during the cycle, which is mistakenly perceived as kidney damage.
Trenbolone Acetate Administration and Dosage
A solo trenbolone acetate cycle is quite potent, which is why the steroid is not recommended for women and beginner athletes. The optimal dosage is 50 mg daily, or 100 mg of the active component every other day. The usage should start at minimal dosages and be gradually increased to the optimal ones for the full effect of the drug. Cycle’s duration – no more than 5-6 weeks. At week 5, Gonadotropin injections are introduced (usage starts at the second week of the cycle at 500-1000 IU weekly and lasts until the third week after completion of the steroid use) if the cycle is planned to last for 8 weeks.
Post-cycle therapy should begin after the active component is fully excreted from the body, so about 2-3 days after the last injection. Clomid is used during PCT (it can be replaced only by Toremifene). Using Tamoxifen is highly discouraged, as it tends to enhance the progestin effects of trenbolones. Testosterone boosters are also essential for restoring the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis function (Tribulus, 6-OXO, D-aspartic acid and others). A balanced sports diet can also help increase the effectiveness of the trenbolone drug cycle for mass gain.
Trenbolone Acetate Combined Cycles
There’s no need to combine Trenbolone Acetate with any other anabolic drugs for muscle growth. It can be combined with various drugs for cutting, for example:
- Trenbolone acetate + Winstrol. 100 mg of trenbolone every other day and 30 mg of Winstrol daily.
- Trenbolone acetate + Anavar. 40 mg of Anavar every day and 50 mg of acetate daily.
Only half of the maximum dosage of the drugs is used during such combined cycles. Combined cycles for cutting should last for no more than 8 weeks. Using antiestrogens is not required. The dosage of Trenbolone Acetate shouldn’t exceed 50 mg daily during a combined cycle.
The steroid can be also used as part of a combined cycle for rapid muscle mass growth. In this case, Testosterone Enanthate is used at 250 mg per weeks and trenbolone acetate is used at 100 mg every two days. The cycle’s duration shouldn’t exceed 10 weeks. PCT using Clomid is essential. Nandrolone can be added to the mix at 200 mg per week, but that’s not necessarily due to the risk of progestin effects like gynecomastia or weak penile erection.
