There are more than 30 types of anabolic steroids you can find on the websites. Some have only medicinal uses, such as Nebido (Testosterone Undecanoate). Anadrol (Oxymetholone) is an example of a steroid with both medicinal and performance uses. Others, such as Anadur (Nandrolone hexyloxyphenylpropionate), have no therapeutic use, but athletes use them.
Most people choose different types of anabolic steroids for these different purposes:
- bulking steroids for building muscle
- performance steroids for strength and endurance
- cutting steroids for burning fat
Also some people choose to use them for healing and recovery and enhancement of metabolism.
Anabolic steroids can be taken by mouth or by injection.
Oral forms are taken by mouth. They include:
Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin)
Mesterolone (Proviron)
Methandienone (Dianabol)
Methyltestosterone (Virilon)
Mibolerone (Cheque)
Oxandrolone (Anavar, Oxandrin)
Oxymetholone (Anadrol)
Stanozolol (Winstrol)
...
Injectable forms include:
Boldenone undecylenate (Equipoise)
Methenolone enanthate (Primobolan)
Nandrolone decanoate (Deca Durabolin)
Nandrolone phenpropionate (Durabolin)
Testosterone cypionate (Depotest)
Testosterone enanthate (Andro-Estro)
Testosterone propionate (Testex)
Trenbolone acetate (Finajet)
...
There are different type of steroid for muscle growth. Which one is best for you?
1. Testosterone
Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group and is found in mammals, reptiles, birds, and other vertebrates. Testosterone is the male hormone responsible for the development of the male reproductive tissue, bone and muscle mass, and the growth of body hair. Test helps with the synthesizing of protein. Most bodybuilders take testosterone in the suspension form due to its fast acting nature and a lack of ester in it.
2. Dianabol (Methandrostenolone)
Methandienone (Dianabol) is the most well known Steroid in existance today which was one of the first steroids developed and used by bodybuilders. Dianabol is a very strong compound and takes very little time to take effect, by two weeks you will be noticing huge effects from this drug. Dianabol has the ability of stimulating dramatic and nearly-permanent improvements in terms of muscle strength, muscle function and size, glycogenolysis, and protein synthesis.
3. Trenbolone
Trenbolone is considered one of the most popular and most effective steroids, but it should not be used by beginners. The main effects of Trenbolone are increased levels of strength and stamina, lean muscle mass and increased metabolic rate. It has multiple fat burning properties which will allow you to burn fat faster. It has a very high binding affinity to the androgen receptors which immediately helps you with losing fat. It increases protein synthesis as well as nitrogen retention. What's more, it increases the production of red blood cells, thereby creating a greater oxygen flow to the muscles.
4. Deca-Durabolin (Nandrolone decanoate)
Deca-Durabolin (Nandrolone decanoate) is a very effective steroid. It is very popular in the bodybuilding communities because it can help to gain muscle mass and build strength. Most consider it to be a wet bulking steroid. Just as with Dianabol, you’ll be retaining a lot of water on this compound. Because Nandrolone Decanoate is a long ester it will take a few weeks to kick in.
5. Winstrol (stanozolol)
Winstrol is a widely known drug that has gained popularity because they provide outstanding results – in terms of both muscle gains and fat loss – with only limited side effects. Winstrol is offered by many suppliers to its popularity. These products can range from tablets or capsules or injectable Winstrol products. The price of raw Stanozolol powder is not the cheapest of other oral steroids, such as, Dianabol and Anadrol but it’s also not as expensive as Anavar for example.
6. Anavar (Oxandrolone)
For women the best oral steroid by far is Anavar. Not only that its mild side effects make it one of the “safer” steroids available.
7. Anadrol (Oxymetholone)
Anadrol could help them develop muscle mass and began to use it on a large scale. Your physical condition improves dramatically. Anadrole has the ability to act quickly and therefore is characterized as ideal suited for starting the bulking cycle.
How do anabolic steroids work?
In general, steroids are chemical compounds that share a common structure. There are many types of steroids; anabolic steroids are only one of several that have roles to play in your body.
When you take anabolic steroids, your body breaks the drug down into molecules that can pass into your cells. There, the steroid molecules bind to structures called androgen receptors. This is where anabolic steroids really take on the role of testosterone, because androgen receptors are shaped very specifically to bind with the body’s natural testosterone. Anabolic steroids, however, can also bind with the receptors.
Once this synthetic steroid is in place, the androgen receptor is activated. Depending on the type of cell the steroids are in, this activation can change how certain genes behave — especially the ones that control the changes that happen during puberty.
Steroids affect your normal metabolism in two basic ways, and together they result in greater muscle mass. Once those androgen receptors are activated, some cells increase their production of proteins, which your body uses to build more cells. This is the phase of your metabolic cycle known as anabolism, where small molecules build up into more complex ones and energy is stored. Anabolism is also when your body builds up muscles — so now you know why they’re called anabolic steroids. During anabolims, the cells in your skeletal muscles, or the powerful muscles attached to your bones, begin to replicate and grow. Soon, you’re building up strength and agility.
