Put aside the questions of ethics, as well as any arguments of health benefits or health concerns; in the end, steroid use is a pain in the rear- literally. Most anabolic steroid (AAS) users include injectable versions of testosterone, nandrolone and/or some other AAS in their stacks, as injectables are more consistent in maintaining androgenic concentrations, generally less expensive and less toxic.1 AAS are made suitable for injection through a variety of chemical modifications- the most commonly encountered being 17£]-esterification. Esterification is a chemical term that describes the bonding (chemical attachment) of an acid to an alcohol group. In the case of AAS, the esterification describes the attachment of a fatty acid to the hydroxyl (alcohol) group on the 17th carbon.

If you’ve been reading my articles, you’ve probably noticed that I like to recommend injectables like testosterone and nandrolone over orals, particularly for cardiovascular safety. Test and Deca don’t provide the same strong, negative impact on cholesterol values as tablets like Dianabol or Anadrol, and therefore, are at some level comparably much safer drugs. All anabolic/androgenic steroids have a tendency to negatively alter the HDL/LDL balance, but injectables like these are just so much less dramatic in this regard. It’s really hard to keep them in the same category of drugs, actually. If I had one piece of advice for long-term safety, it would be to stick with the shots and drop the pills. Drugs like Dianabol and Anadrol work very well, but a noncompetitive bodybuilder can make exceptional progress without them. Why risk it if you don’t have to?

For
the purpose of hormone replacement, testosterone undecanoate seems nearly
ideal, allowing the patient to be dosed just four times a year, which would
allow his physician to perform a brief physical and some lab tests to ensure
that no adverse effects are being experienced. For the athlete or bodybuilder,
it also holds a great deal of value. Considering that above-normal levels were
experienced in healthy young men for four weeks after being injected with
1,000mg of testosterone undecanoate, it is conceivable that an anabolic cycle
could be achieved with monthly, or less frequent, injections.

Have you ever wanted to try a cycle of hormone replacement therapy? You know, those little ads in the back of men's magazines that advertise doctor-prescribed steroids. I suppose it's just like asking if you've ever wanted to juice. For most serious weightlifters the answer to the question is "Yes, I've thought about it". And for most of those same guys, they chicken out.
