Trenbolone-Enanthate Profile
Ask any veteran performance enhancing athlete, and the vast majority will emphatically tell you the Trenbolone hormone is the single greatest anabolic androgenic steroid of all time, and we can tell you right off the bat they are correct. One of the most potent, powerful and versatile anabolic steroids of all time, there is almost nothing this steroid cannot do. Of course, as you may be aware, Trenbolone comes in a few forms, specifically as Trenbolone-Acetate, Trenbolone-Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate and Trenbolone-Enanthate; we are here to discuss the latter. Trenbolone-Enanthate is the largest ester based version of the three common forms, and while its direct traits are the same as the other two this larger ester will affect its mode of action in-regards to time and potency.
As one of the most powerfully effective steroids on the market, you will find Trenbolone-Enanthate is so versatile its raw power can be beneficial to almost any performance enhancing cycle, and that's not an exaggeration. Unfortunately, this can also be one of the harshest steroidal compounds you'll ever find; it's not exactly what we'd call side-effect friendly. Even so, the possible side-effects of Trenbolone-Enanthate can be controlled; in-fact, they can be avoided, but it's going to take some effort on your part, and most importantly it will take responsible supplementation. With all of this in mind, let's find out what Trenbolone-Enanthate is all about, and discover the path to safe and successful supplementation.
Trenbolone-Enanthate 101:
Trenbolone-Enanthate is a non-aromatizing 19-nortestosterone (19-nor) anabolic androgenic steroid, and like all 19-nor anabolic steroids it carries a strong progestin nature. Extraordinarily anabolic and androgenic, Trenbolone-Enanthate carries a rating of 500 in both categories, and that is nothing short of massive. In-order for this to him home, all ratings are based and measured against the pure testosterone hormone which carries a rating of 100 in both categories; that alone should tell you how powerful the Trenbolone hormone truly is. For more of an understanding, let's look at the anabolic and androgenic ratings of ten of the most popular anabolic steroids of all time, and then you will truly find there is nothing like this compound:

Carrying an active half-life of approximately 8 days, Trenbolone-Enanthate must be injected twice a week to maintain stable blood levels, and as a larger ester version the ester will take up a good bit of mass in the compound. On this basis, you will need more Trenbolone-Enanthate per injection than you do say the Acetate version; for example, 100mg of Trenbolone-Acetate will yield 87mg of active hormone, whereas the Enanthate version will yield 72mg; adjust the dosing and you'll receive the same dosing; this isn't brain surgery. At any rate, assuming you supplement with this hormone like you have half a brain, and there's no reason you can't, there are numerous traits that will be enjoyed that define the Trenbolone-Enanthate compound. Many of these traits are shared by many other anabolic steroids, but in this case, they are displayed at a rate of power that is almost unimaginable. The traits are as follows:
· Enhanced Nitrogen Retention – all muscle tissue is comprised of 16% nitrogen, and while that may not be a large number that little 16% makes an enormous
difference. The more nitrogen we retain, the greater our bodies anabolic atmosphere, and if we do not retain enough we can easily fall into a catabolic
state.
· Enhanced Protein Synthesis – as you've heard a million times, protein is the building block of muscles, and protein synthesis refers to the rate by-which
cells build proteins; it doesn't take a genius to see how beneficial this trait can be.
· Increased IGF-1 Production – Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) is a potent peptide hormone produced by the liver, and it is extremely anabolic and
holds innumerable repairing and recovery related traits. A hormone that affects nearly every last cell in the human body, IGF-1 plays an intrinsic role
in-regards to our nerves, ligaments and tendons, cartilage, bones and even our lunges, and of course our muscle tissue. Of all the anabolic steroids on
earth, very few will promote IGF-1 at the rate of Trenbolone-Enanthate.
· Increased Red Blood Cell Count – red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to and through the blood, and when our levels are low we can suffer
from conditions such as anemia; further, our muscular endurance goes in the tank. When red blood cell count increases, the blood carries a greater level of
oxygenation and all that goes with it.
· Decreased Glucocorticoid Production – commonly referred to as stress hormones, these nasty hormones destroy muscle tissue, promote fat gain and can even
make fat-loss and muscle tissue growth nearly impossible if they are in abundance. Cortisol is the most well-known glucocorticoid, and the Trenbolone
hormone will ensure such hormones do not get out of hand.
· Strong Androgen Binding – this one will be simple, but extremely important. Anabolic steroids that bind firmly to the androgen receptor will promote
lipolysis; that is correct direct fat-loss. Like most anabolic steroids, Trenbolone-Enanthate will enhance your metabolic rate, but very few actually burn
fat directly, and none burn fat at the rate of the Trenbolone hormone.
· Enhanced Nutrient Efficiency – we have save the best for last, and when we say this is the best trait we actually mean there is nothing else that can compare. As you understand, when it comes to any physically related goal, the food you eat is the most important factor; food itself is the direct promoter of anabolic activity. When the Trenbolone hormone is present, the same food we eat becomes more valuable; simply put, we receive more out of each nutrient we consume; every last gram of carbohydrates, fats and proteins yields a higher return. This means you can do more with the same amount of food; one way to look at it, actually the best way is like money. You have a one dollar bill, and with it you can purchase $1 worth of products; now imagine if you could purchase $100 worth of products with this single dollar bill; essentially this is the Trenbolone hormone.
The Benefits of Trenbolone-Enanthate:
As Trenbolone-Enanthate is not used for any therapeutic treatment, the benefits of Trenbolone-Enanthate we will discuss will be strictly performance related. Of course, from the traits discussed above you should already have a fairly good understanding of the benefits, but let's put it into a practical understanding. For the off-season athlete, this is one of the best bulking steroids you'll ever use; muscle mass, true muscle mass can be gained, and you will do so with less fat-gain due to the metabolic increasing and fat-burning traits. Further, as this steroid does not aromatize at all, every last ounce of weight gained due to supplementation will be 100% pure, lean muscle tissue. Of course, you can expect your strength to increase quite significantly, and that's a trait almost anyone will enjoy.
Then we have cutting cycles, and while Trenbolone-Enanthate is a fantastic bulking steroid, it takes performance enhancement to a new level when it comes to cutting. There is no anabolic steroid that is such a strong lean tissue preserver on earth; nothing comes close. When you diet, in-order to lose body-fat you must be in a caloric deficit; with or without Trenbolone supplementation this will hold true. As this is the case, muscle tissue is often lost when dieting, and as you continue to drop weight it becomes harder to lose fat. Thankfully, Trenbolone-Enanthate will prevent all of this; you will preserve your hard earned muscle tissue and you will burn body-fat at an exceptionally high rate. If that's not enough, it only gets better; this is a hormone with tremendous conditioning effects. Granted, you must be lean for them to be displayed, and Tren will help you lean out, and as a result you will be harder, dryer and more defined.
These are all fantastic benefits, but we're not done yet. Regardless of your purposes of use, this steroid is going to increase your muscular endurance tremendously, and it will see your recovery time greatly improved upon. You will not tire out as fast, you will recover from your training and all strenuous activity much faster and far more efficiently; this is all by any definition performance enhancement. These are largely the benefits of Trenbolone-Enanthate supplementation, and if you've already looked into a few other anabolic steroids there is no way you've come across anything quite like Tren.
The Side-Effects of Trenbolone-Enanthate:
The side-effects of Trenbolone-Enanthate must be broken down into two categories; the possible and harshly unpredictable. The possible side-effects of Trenbolone-Enanthate are similar to many other anabolic steroids, and this means they are largely avoidable or combatable. At any rate, your dosing and lifestyle habits will play a massive role as it pertains to the possible, and we're going to go over those first and then we'll dive into the harshly unpredictable. The possible side-effects of Trenbolone-Enanthate include:
· Gynecomastia – as this steroid does not aromatize, you'd think this effect would be no concern, but it is a progestin and progesterone buildups can cause
gynecomastia in sensitive men. In-order to gain protection, the same Aromatase Inhibitors used to protect against aromatizing steroids will protect against
progesterone; some men will need this and some won't.
· Acne – highly unlikely if you are not sensitive to acne to begin with, but if you are, you will need to put in some extra effort in-regards to keeping
your skin clean and dry.
· Hair-Loss – 100% genetically dependent; men who are predisposed to male-pattern baldness; meaning, they were going to lose their hair any way, but the
Tren may speed it up. If you are not predisposed, you will not be at a risk. If you are predisposed, Finasteride may be able to help you.
· Prostate Enlargement – highly unlikely with proper doses for proper periods of time, but it is a possibility. If you already suffer from prostate issues,
you should not supplement. If you fall prey to prostate issues, this is where you'll find Finasteride to be truly useful.
· High Blood Pressure – in most all cases, this is dosing related; some will be able to get away with higher doses than others, but the biggest factor will be your lifestyle. If you have a healthy blood pressure prior to supplementation, you should continue to live in a way that promotes its continuation; in-fact, you'll want to give it a little extra effort. It must be noted; if you have high blood pressure, you should not supplement, and if you are genetically predisposed to high blood pressure you must exercise extreme caution should you choose to supplement.
Then we have the harshly unpredictable side-effects of Trenbolone-Enanthate, and we describe them in this way for a good reason. First and foremost, let's list the effects; they include anxiety, insomnia, night sweats and rapid heart rate. At first glance, they may not sound that bad, but imagine them in the worst way possible; now that you've imagined that understand they can get worse than what you just imagined. As for unpredictable, high doses can cause these effects, but in most cases, they will be caused by a poor genetic response to the hormonal compound, and there is no way to predict if you will be such an individual. If you do fall prey, you'll need to discontinue use immediately, and you may be able to try again later down the line with a lower dose, but there's a good chance this steroid is simply not for you. It must be noted; if you've never supplemented with the Trenbolone hormone before, your first time must be with Trenbolone-Acetate. If you fall prey to the harsh unpredictable side-effects, with the Acetate version you can discontinue use and they'll fade away in a few days. Conversely, if you're using the Enanthate version, even though you've discontinued supplementation you'll have to wait a few weeks for the effect to clear due to the large ester attached.
The above represents the majority of the side-effects of Trenbolone-Enanthate, but there's one more we must discuss; testosterone suppression. Trenbolone-Enanthate will dramatically suppress your natural testosterone production, and this means the use of exogenous testosterone is imperative in-order to ensure you do not fall into an extremely unhealthy and potentially problematic low testosterone condition. Of course, this testosterone supplementation is only going to enhance your Trenbolone use as the two hormones work with one another in perfect harmony, and as such there's no logical reason for not supplementing with exogenous testosterone. Even so, you need to understand as your natural testosterone production will be suppressed your testicles will atrophy; they will lose some of their fullness, but there is good news. Assuming you did not suffer from a low testosterone condition prior to supplementation and you did not severely damage your HPTA during supplementation with poor practices all will return to normal. Once you discontinue the use of all anabolic steroids and all the exogenous steroidal hormones have cleared your system, your natural testosterone production will begin again, and your testicles will return to their normal size.
