I did my research. I had asked at an actual bodybuilding forum if testosterone is also a steroid. I got mixed answers. I was expecting it because the guys in that forum are already too high on steroids and or too egotistical to give a straight answer.

Anyway, my HGH (Kigtropin), in its instruction booklet suggested the use of testosterone for maximum benefits. This is why I had asked if testosterone is also a steroid, just termed differently. I looked into 2 kinds of steroids: Anavar and Dianabol. I liked what I read about Anavar due to its low side effects and is considered as a mild steroid. It also does not necessarily require an AI (aromatase inhibitor) or PCT (post cycle therapy), so pretty much I'd just be using my HGH (Kigtropin) along with Anavar and nothing else. I'm not too crazy about putting various things in my body like those guys in those bodybuilding forums who take several things at a time. For right now, I take Kigtropin 4 IUs daily. I might be adding Anavar to my stack soon at 50 mg daily. I'm still doing more research perhaps I can get some answers here as well.
 
Testosterone is a steroid. A steroid is defined as any of several fat-soluble organic compounds having as a basis 17 carbon atoms in four rings. HGH is a spiral-shaped chemical hormone consisting of 990 carbon atoms, 1,532 hydrogen atoms, 262 nitrogen atoms, 300 oxygen atoms and seven sulfur atoms, though it is extremely anabolic like testosterone and strengthens tendons and tissue where testosterone strengthens skeletal muscle (androgen receptors only). It is best used in combination with testosterone because it requires an increased production of virtually every hormone in the body to be effective. So taking HGH alone is probably a futile idea. You should run that Kigtropin with Testosterone for maximum benefits. Running it with Anavar is a waste of money and time, Anavar is a weak anabolic. If you have cash for HGH, especially Kigs, you damn well run it with Testosterone. Run it with Testosterone Ethanate at a minimum of 500mg weekly and you will make excellent gains.
 
thanks. that Testosterone Ethanate 500mg weekly, do I divide 500mg throughout the week (7 days?) or do I take the 500mg just once a week. I'll look into how I can get a hold of it since I only have reliable access to dianabol and avanar right now regarding steroids. As for anavar being weak, it's what turned me on to it, because I don't want anything too strong (I like coffee but not Monster energy drinks). Anavar is low on side effects plus it gives "nice" muscles not "monster" muscles. Not sure what Ethanate can do for me but I'll look into it on what's it about.

P.S. I looked into ethanate, and it does appear that it requires AI and PCT (i.e. more pills to take). Anavar does not necessarily require these. I read anavar is on the expensive side while dianabol and ethanate is fairly cheaper. There could be a reason?

You take the 500mg once a week.

You are severely misinformed. First off, Anavar doesn't give nice muscles. All it gives is strength and a little fat loss. It's a steroid meant to preserve muscle for bodybuilders. Anavar only builds muscle on women. It has a nice anabolic effect on men at dosages well over 100mg but because it's a 17a steroid and expensive, you can't run it for very long so it's pointless.

Secondly, all steroids require PCT. Even Anavar. Anyone who tells you different is a fool.

Third, the price difference comes from the manufacturing process. Testosterone is easy to produce, and therefore cheap. Anavar is difficult to produce, and not as widely available, hence more expensive.

Fourth, oral only cycles are a waste. If you want to do Anavar or Dianabol, you run it with Testosterone. Oral only cycles are a waste of time and money. Wait until you have access to Testosterone.

I would note that cycles in which I've used Anavar were more successful then my first cycle with test only.

No muscle mass at all? Maybe it's the strength increase that leads to mass or the so-called "cutting" effect that gives off the impression of mass. A friend did an all anavar cycle at 40mg/day for 9 weeks and I want to say he appeared bigger. Maybe he was stuffing socks in his shirt shoulders the whole time?

If your Anavar only cycles were more successful then your first cycle with Test only then you are either getting very shitty Test, running an terribly low dose, or not eating and training right. You should blow up monstrously on your first Test only cycle.

I'm sure he appeared bigger due to the fat loss increasing muscle definition. 40mg a day for 9 weeks is a very low dose, pointless really. Any size was strictly from training and not the Anavar itself. The possibility also exists that the Anavar he was getting could of very well been Turnibol or some other oral steroid. It happens sometimes. Anavar is not a mass gaining steroid.
 
I've never ran var alone. I was saying that including it with test is better than test alone.

Oh, I see. My fault for misunderstanding. Yes including Anavar in a Test cycle makes for some excellent results. Greater fat loss, explosive strength, and hardened mass gains.
 
from research, for anavar to be effective, 50mg minimum has to be used. But then again there are mixed information in the world of internet.

is AI necessary? Is PCT mandatory? I read that it depends. If "bitch tits" forms from steroid use, then PCT is necessary (but people go on PCT anyway for prevention, the hardcore bodybuilders). Not sure I will need higher dose of it since I'm only 5'7" at 150 pounds. I read dosages go by your weight, the more you weigh, the higher dosage will work best for the individual. I'm trying to go up to 175 pounds atleast, if it's possible with Anavar and HGH. I used to weigh close to 200 pounds, but mostly fat and water and some muscles here and there. I lost weight, this was over 10 years ago though. I'm in better shape now just trying to bulk up.

To avoid confusion, you're using 2 types of steroids then?

Yes. My first cycle of test gave me an alarming increase of strength. Later on I did a cycle of test/anavar and the results were more pronounced. Anavar is expensive - I guess - but it really depends on who you get it from. There are some places that don't mark-up to heaven. I'm doing my 3rd cycle now (more for healing purposes/rapidly bring my strength back). Test and anavar. It's all I've ever used and it works. Not too extreme but shocks the bitch out of your body (Nutrient uptake is increased) without too many sides.

The human body is an awkward, hesitant bitch and steroids basically make it more effective at it's job. You could look at it like that.

An AI isn't necessary but it's good to take in case you happen to be sensitive to estrogen. PCT is mandatory, you read wrong. The only people PCT isn't mandatory for is pro-bodybuilders because they never cycle off steroids. You will need 500mg, that is the minimum amount of Testosterone for bodybuilding. Dosages do not go by your weight, that is bro-science. If you only want to get to 175 pounds then you don't need steroids. All you have to do is eat and train. Your not going to bulk up on Anavar and HGH. I don't know where you are getting this ideas but you should get them out of your head.
 
what's your other test called? you only mentioned anavar. Is HGH considered testosterone or it's a different animal? I'm already using 4 IUs of HGH (Kigtropin) daily before I sleep, so if I add a test (Anavar) would this mean that I'm using 2 types of testosterone or not really (because last I checked HGH is NOT a steroid, or is it?). I might be going up to 5 IUs daily (people respond well to 4-5 IUs), the max I could go up according to the instructions of my HGH is 8 IUs daily (though I heard some people get headaches when using that much).

how does an individual know sensitivity to estrogen (what signs/symptoms to look for?). I simply googled anavar and found plenty of info. about it (but it's the internet!). I read that it does not "necessarily" require AI or PCT that's why people "prefer" it (but expensive, so people go the cheaper route in the end with dianabol, which requires AI and PCT). I think I read that if using low dosage of Anavar then PCT or AI is not necessary.

Dude, I'm trying to blow up 25 pounds higher than my current weight (from 150 to 175), what do you mean I don't need steroids? That's a lot of weight. If I grow any taller, then I can get up to 200 pounds, but like I said I'm only 5'7". I'm trying to stay proportionate to height and weight. You mentioned to eat right, do you think those 2000 calorie weight gainers GNC sell is a good meal replacement? I have tried those but it was way too strong and sweet. I guess I could control how much scoop to use. I guess it's the cheapest and convenient way to gain weight rather than eat meat daily (which requires cooking, etc.).

Anavar is not Testosterone, it's Oxanadrolone, a DHT derived steroid. There is Testosterone Etanathate, Testosterone Propionate, Testosterone Cyponiate, and a few other longer lasting esters. HGH is not testosterone, HGH is human growth hormone, a completely different animal.

He didn't mention taking an AI or PCT because it's common knowledge for people getting into steroids. PCT is necessary for any steroid.

P.S. anyone with a source for test ethanate PM me the info.

You really don't... That's what sucks. You may be sensitive, you may be not. It's a dice roll but if you take an AI at a low dose you better you chances for not holding water like a ballon or getting gyno. Anavar requires PCT, don't be fooled. Dianabol doesn't require an AI by the way. Even a low dose is still messing with you HPTA function. A low dose of is a waste as I mentioned. I will repeat it again, get the idea of oral only cycles out of you fucking head.

25lbs is nothing. You can put on that much weight in a few months if you eat right. But trying to put on 25lbs with Anavar? What the fuck? No. That doesn't happen.

You are suggesting you gain mass with weight gainers instead of eating whole foods and meats?

And now you are requesting a source?

Leave my forum. Come back when you are ready to use steroids properly. Don't ever ask for a source again and if I catch you doing so again I will have you banned.
 
Injecting 4IUs of Kigtropin and asking fucking questions like this... This is why steroids are illegal. Idiocy.
