Method of administration and dosage for medicinal purposes

Use of androgen in ampoules is allowed after consultation with a physician and strictly in accordance with the instructions. Injections should be made by intramuscular route. Intravenous drug administration is strictly prohibited. The needle must be inserted deep into the muscle of the buttocks - this will prevent the formation of infiltration. The dosage of the drug is calculated on the basis of sex, weight, age of the patient, his illness. The general scheme of application of Enanthate means the administration of the drug every 2-4 weeks at a dosage of not more than 400 mg per month. The average dose is 50-200 mg once.

Course Testosterone Enanthate for athletes

The use of the drug in athletes( bodybuilding, triathlon, weightlifting) significantly accelerates the growth of muscle mass. In addition, the tool has the following positive effects:

• increases strength and endurance;
• stimulates the process of cell regeneration, which accelerates recovery after intensive training;
• has the effect of pumping( sensation of muscle spraining after training);
• positively affects joints due to fluid accumulation;
• improves vitality.

Due to the prolonged action of Enanthate, the athletes must be stabbed once a week to achieve high results. Perhaps a more rare application - every 2-3 weeks. Everything depends on the speed of metabolic processes of the body, loads.3 mg of funds per 1 kg of weight can increase the level of the sex hormone by 22%.This effect is achieved due to the ability of the active substance to retain liquid and electrolytes in the body.

The main disadvantage of taking androgen is the level of its aromatization. This is the process of transformation of androgen( male hormone) into estradiol( a female hormone).The more testosterone will accumulate in the body of an athlete, the greater the likelihood of gynecomastia - an increase in the mammary glands. To prevent negative consequences with testosterone, it is necessary to take anti-estrogens.

Beginners an injection course is recommended to begin with a minimum dose of 250 mg. As you gain weight, you can increase the dosage. Experienced athletes will use the most effective dose of 500 - 1000 mg once a week. Allowable injection 2 times in 7 days. Increasing the dosage or number of injections will not result in muscle growth, but will only increase the negative effect of the drug on the body.

This course involves the use of only one drug - Testosterone Enanthate. The solo algorithm for beginners is as follows:

1. The drug is administered at the same time with a dosage of 250 mg 1 time in 7 days.

3. After completion of the solo admission, a recovery period begins, which lasts at least 21 days.
4. Repeated injection chicken can be administered no earlier than 2 months.

Post-course therapy is conducted to prevent the negative effects of large doses of testosterone on the athlete's body. To do this, anti-estrogens are effectively used. The popular ones include Tamoxifen and Proviron. The latter differs in that it practically does not oppress the action of Enanthate. Proviron should be taken daily at 0.25 mg / day. A similar effect has Anastrozole - every day half the tablet.

Reviews

Valery, 29 years old

I have been injecting for a couple of years. Now he has taken a course with Turinabol. The first 2 weeks of the course there was no effect, but then there was a gain in muscle mass of 3 kg. Indicators of strength and endurance also increased. For the recovery course, I decided to try Tribulus and Klomifen - they restore the body functions well after taking testosterone.

Alexey, 52 years old

The drug Enantat was prescribed to me by an expert because of problems with potency. After several injections, I had side effects - aggressiveness, excessive sweating, insomnia. The attending physician reassured that all this is temporary, but it indicates the normalization of the level of the hormone in the blood. I will continue treatment.

Vyacheslav, 33 years

Injections for increasing muscle mass take several years. I like the remedy for the absence of side effects if you follow the dosage and take antiestrogens. And I do not notice any decrease in sexual desire - everything is normal. I advise everyone who wants to have a beautiful body. You must follow the instructions and exercise regularly.
