Anabolic steroids, technically known as anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), are drugs that are structurally related to the cyclic steroid ring system and have similar effects to testosterone in the body. They increase protein within cells, especially in skeletal muscles.

Anabolic steroids also have androgenic and virilizing properties, including the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics such as the growth of the vocal cords, testicles (primary sexual characteristics) and body hair (secondary sexual characteristics). The word anabolic comes from the Greek ἀναβολή or anabole, "that which is thrown up, mound", and the word androgenic from the Greek ἀνδρός or andros, "of a man" + -γενής -genes, “born”.

Methyltrienolone aka Mtren, Oral Tren — 19-nortestosterone (19-nor) derivative. Rated 12000:6000. One of the strongest AAS in existence—second only to its double methylated cousin, dimethyltrienolone. Said to rank equally to trestolone for rapid, overnight changes in aesthetics and appearance. Extreme surge in strength and aggression. Oft-utilized as a pre-workout or for brief cycles of 3-4 weeks. Warning: Highly hepatotoxic. Can be used orally or injected. For toxicity reasons, injection route is highly recommended. Experience thread.

FAQ
Some answers to common questions.

What is the difference between Testosterone Enanthate and Testosterone Cypionate?
Approximately nothing. Definitely nothing that is going to make a difference in choosing one or the other for our purposes. Read the specifics below:

The ester weights are almost identical, with Cypionate being ever so-slightly heavier.
Meaning there is ever so-slightly more actual testosterone hormone (~1%) in Enanthate.

The terminal half-life's are also almost identical.
Enanthate is 4.5 days.
Cypionate is 5 days.

For some, they may experience a slight difference in potential Post Injection Pain (PIP). This is due to Cypionate having a higher melting point than Enanthate, making Cypionate more prone to being able to cause PIP. This all depends on how your Testosterone was brewed by your source/supplier. Read more on Post Injection Pain (PIP): Here.
