Masteron is an injectable anabolic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Here, the backbone of DHT is modified with a 2-methyl group to increase its anabolic properties, making the compound more effective at promoting muscle tissue growth than the unmethylated parent. Due to its structural characteristics, Masteron is the only anabolic steroid that has anti-estrogenic properties. This allows bodybuilders to avoid the use of anti-estrogenic drugs by using Masteron in the appropriate cycle. Its muscle-building effect also makes Masteron very effective in fat loss cycles.
Most people’s experience with this drug has been very satisfactory, with no side effects. In addition, I think the drug has value as an anabolic steroid modulator. Let me explain. Masteron has high SHBG and albumin binding. Some would consider this a bad thing because these two hormones bind to proteins, preventing other steroids from fusing to their receptors. Masteron is 3-5 times more active than testosterone, so the unbound portion circulating in the blood is very effective. Since the drug binds a higher percentage of SHBG and albumin, any other steroids co-administered with it remain unbound/active/free to a greater extent.
Also, since this drug is cleared from the body quickly, it is favored by many athletes.
While Masteron does not have high anabolic and androgenic ratios, these numbers are misleading. Remember that dioxytestosterone, the base component of drostanolone, is five times more androgenic than testosterone. This means that it can increase the efficiency of fat metabolism while increasing muscle hardness. Not only does it increase overall metabolic efficiency, but the strong androgenic properties can also directly cause lipolysis.
It is no surprise that the most effective stage for Masteron is during a fat loss cycle. However, the prerequisite for using it is that the user must have very low sebum. This is why this hormone is usually used at the end of the preparation period, when the athlete’s body fat is already very low. Masteron can help remove the last bit of stubborn fat. If your sebum is not as low as an athlete’s standards, then the effect of using it will not be as obvious.
As a “powerful” male hormone, Masteron is a great choice for athletes seeking to increase strength. It can greatly improve muscle strength, endurance, and recovery without adding muscle mass.
Masteron is not effective in a muscle-building steroid cycle. Although it is possible to increase size with high doses, there are many other steroids that do a better job. Some people inject Masteron during a muscle-building cycle to avoid fat gain, but this is not a good reason. Fat should be controlled through diet and training.
The basic dose is about 200-300 mg per week. This is a low dose that should be well tolerated by male users. Those who use Trenbolone, Anavar, or Stanozol will find that low doses of Masteron have good effects. At the same time, its anti-estrogenic effects are enough to counteract most side effects.
The standard dose is about 300-400 mg per week or an average of 350 mg. Inject 100 mg every other day. This dose will greatly increase muscle hardness and dryness in a fat-cutting steroid cycle. If you are not looking to gain muscle, a dose of 300-400 mg per week can also work well.
A high dose means injecting 200 mg per day, which is 600-800 mg per week. However, this dose will have a very negative impact on cholesterol levels. It will also produce strong androgenic side effects. Mastering this dose requires a lot of experience and knowledge, and in many cases you don’t have to use it this way.
