Masteron Enanthate (Drostanolone Enanthate) is a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) based anabolic steroid. Drostanolone is simply the DHT hormone structurally altered. The alteration exists through the addition of a methyl group at carbon
Masteron Enanthate is a long estered (and therefore, long acting) variant of Masteron, and is therefore best utilized in the context of longer cycle lengths (upwards of 10 – 12 weeks or longer). It is best used in cutting cycles, and even better for pre-contest cycles for competitive bodybuilders. Those who are looking for any significant strength gains or to bulk up on Masteron Enanthate will be greatly disappointed, as this is one anabolic steroid that is not deemed as very impressive in the area of anabolic strength, and in some cases might be weaker in strength than Testosterone. Masteron’s anabolic rating is that of 63 – 130. Testosterone’s anabolic rating by comparison is 100. We can see here that Masteron is at worst, about 30% weaker than Testosterone’s anabolic capabilities, and at best it is 30% stronger than Testosterone in this regard (where receptor binding affinity is concerned). So, while one could definitely experience satisfying results from Masteron Enanthate, it would by no means elicit an impressive or anywhere near dramatic response in an individual. Furthermore, Masteron Enanthate is best utilized in conjunction with other anabolic steroids. It’s solitary use alone might yield disappointment for the user, especially if the individual is not a bare beginner or first-time anabolic steroid user.
Masteron Enanthate dosage requirements do not need to be that high, but it is recommended to begin (and normally maintain) around 400mg weekly. Ultimately, it is dependent almost completely on what the individual wishes to gain from the cycle and the compound itself. Beginner Masteron Enanthate dosage normally begins at the aforementioned 400mg/week zone, though many bodybuilders who utilize it only for its anti-estrogenic or pre-contest effects could easily utilize 200mg/week on top of other compounds. If the individual’s bodyfat percentage is low enough in this case, there should be significant aesthetic benefits to the physique even in the dosage range of 200mg/week. Intermediate and advanced Masteron Enanthate doses as high as 600mg/week or higher (800mg/week or more) can be used, but are almost entirely unnecessary. Those who wish to gain significant amounts of strength and size from Masteron Enanthate would have to venture that high, but considering the expensive nature of this compound and its capabilities, it would be a waste to use Masteron Enanthate for a purpose such as mass and strength gaining. Furthermore, the capabilities of Masteron is understood by nearly all bodybuilders to be an aesthetic enhancement one – not a significant performance enhancement one, and certainly not a significant size and strength gaining one either.
Stacking other anabolic steroids with Masteron Enanthate normally entail the use of other similar compounds, often tailored and geared towards the same goals and purposes. As a general rule of course, Testosterone should be utilized alongside any anabolic steroid. Naturally, the best choice to be utilized with Masteron Enanthate would be Testosterone Enanthate for obvious reasons. For those unaware of why, the combination of two Enanthate-based anabolic steroids merely make administration and timing of injections far more convenient and much easier. Following this, if any individuals wish to throw a third compound into the stack, there are some great choices to be made. A third compound could be an oral anabolic steroid, such as Winstrol or Anavar – both well suited towards the same type of goals that Masteron is as well. Alternatively, the use of a third injectable might be preferential for those especially serious or competitive. The best and most effective choice to run alongside Testosterone Enanthate and Masteron Enanthate would be Trenbolone Enanthate. This ‘Enanthate trio’ of Testosterone/Drostanolone/Trenbolone is regarded by many as the pinnacle cycle of competitive bodybuilders and pre-contest cycles. Obviously, all Enanthate variants are selected due to their great compatibility, and the intense anabolic effects of Trenbolone contribute exquisitely to the aesthetic enhancing effects of Masteron on the physique. Furthermore, neither Trenbolone nor Masteron aromatize into Estrogen at any dosage used. This, alongside the physique altering effects of Trenbolone and Masteron, allow the individual to effectively transform their physique within record time and beyond anything that can be imagined, which is why it is commonly utilized as a pre-contest cycle.
Masteron Enanthate is very rarely used in bulking or strength cycle stacks, and if done so, is normally used for its anti-estrogenic aromatase inhibiting properties. Even with such advantageous properties, many would conclude that such a use for Masteron is a waste of money, as much stronger anti-aromatase capability can be obtained for much cheaper by purchasing and using any of the commonly used aromatase inhibitor ancillary drugs.
