Drostanolone Enanthate is strictly an underground anabolic androgenic steroid that is based on the discontinued Drostanolone Propionate compound known as Masteron P. Masteron is a fairly old anabolic steroid first created in 1959 by Syntex and has been sold under several other brand names such as Masteril, with Masteron remaining the most recognizable.

 

During the 1970’s and 80’s Masteron enjoyed significant therapeutic success, particularly in the treatment of inoperable breast cancer. Despite its success in cancer treatment and other areas of medicine, in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s Masteron began to disappear from the U.S. and European markets. Drostanolone is still an FDA approved anabolic steroid, but no U.S. pharmacy manufactures it.

 

During the 1970’s and heavily in the 1980’s Masteron become very popular among competitive bodybuilders. In fact, it has come to be viewed as an essential for contest prep for many bodybuilders and is a common favorite among recreational bodybuilders during their cutting cycles. Due to the Propionate ester that is attached Masteron must be injected at minimum three times per week with an every other day schedule being the most efficient. Because of the need for frequent injections and high demand for the steroid, many underground labs began manufacturing the Drostanolone hormone with the Enanthate ester attached. The new combination become very prominent in the early 2000’s and as such Masteron Enanthate was born. Masteron Enanthate is the same anabolic steroid as Masteron Propionate; the hormone itself has not been changed. The only difference in the two compounds is the attached ester, which affects the drug’s active life and release into the body.

 

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 position 2. This ensures the hormone doesn’t suffer metabolic breakdown brought on by the 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme found in the skeletal muscle. This simple structural change also makes the hormone far more anabolic, and that gives us Drostanolone. Once the hormone has been created, altered from DHT, an ester is then attached, and in this case the ester attached is Enanthate. Enanthate is not a steroid or a drug but nothing more than a timing tool used for a drug.

 

As with Masteron Propionate, Masteron Enanthate is well known for being one of the only anabolic steroids that carries strong anti-estrogenic properties. This anabolic steroid cannot increase estrogen levels; in fact, it can actually decrease estrogen levels in the body. Bodybuilders welcome this trait due to estrogen often being difficult to control with many steroids and lower estrogen levels often leading to a harder and more defined look during the cutting phase.

 

Masteron Enanthate possesses some of the most misleading anabolic and androgenic ratings of any anabolic steroid, although not nearly as misleading as Halotestin and Anavar. Drostanolone has a binding affinity to the androgen receptor that is five times greater than testosterone, which not only produces a harder look it can also have a positive impact on fat loss. All anabolic steroids can help improve the metabolic rate, but those with a strong androgen binding affinity can have an impact on direct lipolysis(breakdown of lipids).

 

Masteron is put to best use in a cutting cycle. It is often considered to be a weaker steroid because of its lack of mass building capabilities, but not all steroids are meant for bulking and this is one that has a very nice and specific purpose which will suit anyone who wants the most extreme possible results from a cutting cycle.

 

 

 

With no water retention to bloat you and stand in the way of that much desired dry and hard look you want to obtain, Masteron is the ultimate late stage cutting steroid for physique enhancement whether it be as a serious personal goals or for competition purposes. If your body fat is already at a low level you stand to gain the most from Masteron as it helps to bring out your tone. Therefore this is a steroid that will be valued by those who have already put in a heap of work with other compounds previously, and with a well planned restricted calorie diet and suitable workout program.

 

 

Most people will be stacking other steroid compounds with Masteron and one of the additional benefits of doing is is not only to gain the positive effects of Masteron itself as part of the stacked cycle, but also in the way Masteron can help the other steroids to work more effectively for multiple reasons. One is thanks to Masteron’s good anti-aromatase and anti-estrogen properties.

 

But lesser known is the way Masteron can prevent the binding of some Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) to other steroids in the cycle, which can reduce their effectiveness. By limiting this binding activity, other steroids you are taking alongside Masteron will be able to operate more fully at their maximum potential. These properties make Masteron an ideal steroid for stacking with many other types of anabolic steroids.

 

For the recreational bodybuilder or steroid user, one that’s not going to be as lean as a competitive bodybuilder, Masteron Enanthate is still a good choice for a cutting cycle. You may not end up as hard as the competitive bodybuilder due to not being quite as lean but hardness will appear nonetheless. However, if there is a significant layer of fat coving the body it may be very hard to find any noticeable benefit in terms of hardness and definition. This truly is a steroid that works best when already lean in regards to hardness.

 

While lean use is the best use for hardening it is not the only use for this anabolic steroid. Masteron Enanthate is a good choice for the athlete looking for a boost in strength and more so than often given credit for. Most steroid users only use Masteron when cutting, when calories are low and strength is necessarily diminished. But for an athlete looking for a boost in strength with little to no weight gain, this can be a solid choice. The athlete should also find improvements in recovery and muscular endurance, and regardless of the end goal recovery and endurance are both invaluable.

 

We’re then left with bulking use and while any anabolic steroid can be used for bulking Masteron Enanthate is perhaps one of the worst choices. The Drostanolone hormone doesn’t pack the punch needed for significant growth. Some growth may occur especially with a very high dose but there are far better options. There are those that will include low to moderate amounts of Masteron Enanthate in their cycle for the anti-estrogen benefits during the bulking phase, but when we’re talking about a bulking cycle that often includes high doses of testosterone this will not be enough to combat the aromatase induced estrogenic activity.

 

Masteron Enanthate is a relatively side effect friendly anabolic steroid. There are numerous possible side effects of Masteron Enanthate, but compared to many anabolic steroids it falls into the semi-mild category. Most men will find this steroid to be well tolerated and even with some females. Virilization symptoms can be strong but controllable with the right plan. A female athlete can make good use of the Drostanolone hormone, but she will need to be careful. In order to understand the side effects of Masteron Enanthate and what can be done we have broken them down into their respective categories below.

 

Masteron Enanthate does not carry or possess any estrogenic related side effects. Gynecomastia and water retention are impossible with this anabolic steroid. Anti-estrogens are not needed due to this steroid’s use but that does not mean they won’t be needed at all depending on the other steroids that may or may not be used with it. In some cases, those who implement a stack that’s not full of heavy aromatizers and who aren’t sensitive to estrogenic side effects may find the anti-estrogenic effect of Masteron Enanthate to be enough.

 

The side effects of Masteron Enanthate can and primarily surround those of an androgenic nature. The androgenic side effects of Masteron Enanthate may include acne, hair loss in men predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth. Despite a potent binding relationship to the androgen receptor the total androgenic activity should not be extreme and such side effects should not be extreme. If you are predisposed to male pattern baldness this steroid is well known for speeding up hair loss and should be avoided if that is a concern. If you are not predisposed hair loss is impossible.

 

Important Note: the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, the enzyme that reduces testosterone to DHT, does not metabolize Drostanolone. There is no reduction; it’s already DHT. Because no reduction exists there is nothing to inhibit or block and this means 5-alpha reductase inhibitors like Finasteride will do nothing to combat androgenic effects.

 

Masteron Enanthate can also promote virilization symptoms in women. Virilization refers to the promotion of male characteristics in women, specifically body hair growth, a deepening of the vocal chords and clitoral enlargement. It is very possible to use this steroid without these issues, although genetic sensitivity will play a role. If symptoms begin to show simply discontinue use and they will rapidly go away. It is when virilization symptoms are allowed to set in that they become a problem and in some cases irreversible.

 

Important note: Female users of Drostanolone will be best served by choosing Drostanolone Propionate as it will clear the body faster should issues arise.

 

The Drostanolone hormone can have a significant negative impact on cholesterol. Masteron Enanthate may increase LDL (bad cholesterol) and decrease HDL (good cholesterol). The impact on HDL is often much greater than the impact on LDL. The impact on LDL may or may not be significant. The total impact on cholesterol will not be as strong as it is with C17-alpha alkylated steroids (most oral steroids). However, the total impact can be much greater than compared to steroids like Testosterone or Nandrolone. Elevated blood pressure is also possible but not common.

 

Cholesterol management is very important when using the Drostanolone hormone. If you suffer from high cholesterol you will want to avoid this anabolic steroid. If you are healthy enough for use, maintaining a cholesterol friendly lifestyle is very important. A healthy diet with plenty of omega fatty acids and one that is low in simple sugars and saturated fats is a good place to start. Regular cardiovascular activity is also important, even if it’s simply taking a walk.

 

Masteron Enanthate will suppress natural testosterone production, so a PCT is needed. The use of exogenous testosterone in all male Drostanolone users is imperative if they are to avoid a low testosterone condition. A low testosterone condition will carry numerous symptoms as well as it is extremely unhealthy. A standard TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) dose of testosterone is enough to remedy the suppression problem. This does not mean more cannot be used, but at minimum 100mg per week will be needed in most cases.

 

Once the use of Masteron Enanthate has ended and the hormone along with any and all other steroidal compounds has cleared the body, natural testosterone production will begin again. Pre-use levels will not return overnight; it will take several months for this to occur. Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plans are generally recommended in order to boost production and increase the odds of recovery.

 

Important note: Natural testosterone recovery assumes no preexisting low testosterone condition existed before the use of anabolic steroids. It also assumes no damage was done to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA) due to improper or irresponsible anabolic steroid use.

 

Masteron Enanthate is not toxic to the liver and cannot cause damage or stress to this primary organ.

 

Most men will dose Masteron (Propionate version) at 300-400mg per week. Because the Enanthate ester is larger than the Propionate ester this means it takes up more space in the total compound. Dosing may need to be adjusted upwards to garner the same amount of active Drostanolone when using the Enanthate version. An increase by 100mg per week should do the trick. Regardless of the dose, the total weekly dose may be split into two equal size injections per week, such as one on Monday and one on Thursday. Total use will last anywhere from 8-12 weeks depending on need.

 

Because of the potential for virilization recommended doses of Masteron Enanthate are not provided for women. Propionate versions are the only ones women should consider. Please see the Masteron Propionate profile for related information.

 

Getting the best possible results from Masteron will not only depend on how good your training and diet is while you’re using the steroid, and what other compounds you might stack it with, but just as important is your dosage and cycle length. With a bit of planning you can create the perfect cycle for your experience level and your personal goals.

 

For the vast majority of users the dosage of Masteron will be kept at a low level. This is not a mass building steroid and increasing the dose in an attempt to gain muscle will be futile, with other compounds being much more suitable for that purpose. For physique enhancement Masteron has no need to be taken any higher than 500mg per week.

 

Beginners are unlikely to want to go any lower than a 250mg weekly dose of Masteron for physique enhancement so this is considered a good starting point if its your first time using this compound. Unlike most other steroids though, increasing up to or near the maximum recommended dosage for any experience level is possible and even encouraged for beginners with Masteron. That means beginners can confidently use 400mg weekly as it is at that level where Masteron’s hardening and other physique enhancing effects really kick in, and this is the case no matter what level user you are making this one of the very few steroids where beginners are able to confidently use the same amount of the compound as even the most advanced users.

 

Just as with beginners, intermediate level users will do very well at the 500mg weekly dose as there are no benefits to going any higher, nor can maximum possible results be yielded with a much lower dose. 500mg is considered the sweet spot of Masteron use in any cycle regardless of what an intermediate user will be stacking it with.

 

Advanced users generally also stick with a 500mg dose with the full knowledge that Masteron does not and can not act as a primary anabolic steroid in any cycle, with that role going to other compounds which much stronger anabolic effects.

 

The timing of your Masteron doses is going to fully depend on which variant you are using. If you’ve been able to obtain the Enanthate variant it’s possible to inject just twice weekly where your weekly dosage will be split into the two injections. If your weekly dosage is set to 500mg, split it to 250mg per injection twice each week.

 

It can be tempting to take the entire dose in just one injection per week, to cut down on the overall number of injections you need to administer, but you run the risk of blood levels not staying optimized for the entire week. Splitting the dose ensures a stable and optimal level of Masteron throughout your entire cycle.

 

If Drostanolone Propionate is your selected variety then you will need much more frequent injections because of its shorter elimination half life where the effects will quickly decline if you are not administering the hormone regularly. This variant of Masteron should ideally be injected every single day or one injection every two days of the cycle.

 

Both the dosage and length of time Masteron is used are critical factors for females when avoiding virilization symptoms. Short term use of no longer than 6 weeks should be considered the maximum, although as little as 4 weeks can still provide good results and further reduce the risk of masculine side effects occurring. A dosage of 50mg to no more than 100mg weekly is more than adequate for female steroid users and doses should not exceed this level in order to minimize virilization effects. 

 

 

 

The dosage of testosterone used in this cycle will depend if you want to gain some mass and additional strength or just want to use it as a testosterone maintenance compound. Higher doses of testosterone can put you at higher risk of aromatizing induced side effects like gyno which Masteron’s natural aromatase inhibiting activity might not be strong enough to combat, requiring use of an external aromatase inhibitor drug, such as Arimidex. Low level testosterone doses of 100mg to 200mg per week is unlikely to present this problem.

 

For best results, combine testosterone at your chosen dose with 400-500mg of Masteron weekly, split into two doses per week where both steroids can be combined and administered together. This 12 week beginner cycle gives new users the opportunity to evaluate the effects and results of Masteron without interference from or interaction with other more powerful steroids.

 

Users who are already aware of what Masteron can do are ready to combine it with other powerful compounds for additional cutting and physique enhancement benefits. The use of Anavar in this cycle is a common addition with its excellent fat burning and physique sculpting ability. In this cycle testosterone is used only for support and not as an anabolic agent. 250mg weekly of testosterone will provide sufficient support during this cycle.

 

Anavar is an oral steroid which is excellent for enhancing the metabolic rate and lipolysis. Adding an oral steroid to this cycle raises the question of potential liver stress, however Anavar at lower doses is not considered such a high risk in this regard. This 10 week cycle makes use of the propionate variant of Masteron at 400mg weekly and Anavar at up to 70mg daily, but 50mg is often enough for great results.

 

Advanced users will be aiming for maximum possible physique hardening with some moderate mass gains through the use of an additional compound in the cycle that has higher anabolic properties and this can come in the form of Trenbolone Acetate.

 

Adding a testosterone ester to the cycle at a maintenance dose will also prove of great benefit. 100mg weekly of Testosterone Propionate will cover your needs in this area. This cycle provides more scope for bulking with Trenbolone which when combined with Masteron provides some serious physique changing opportunities when your training and nutrition are in line with these goals.

 

 

Masteron stacks well with a range of other steroid compounds. At a minimum testosterone should always be used in a Masteron cycle to retain your testosterone functionality while Masteron suppresses or even shuts down natural testosterone production. In a cutting cycle users will benefit enormously by stacking Masteron with other powerful cutting compounds like Anavar or Winstrol which are also derived from DHT.

 

Masteron is an excellent inclusion in a cutting cycle so the results you can expect relate strongly to physique enhancement and overall fat loss. The lack of aromatization is what makes Masteron such a powerful cutting compound as you will not suffer the bloating effects of water retention.

 

Not only that, but the anti-estrogen activity of Masteron can also help remove any existing subcutaneous fluid retention which will greatly contribute to physique hardening effect, ultimately giving you that sought after chiselled and dry appearance.

 

It’s important to know that these effects are only achievable at the maximum level if you’ve already achieved an exceptionally low body fat ratio where Masteron is then used for the final most extreme physique enhancement; often before a contest.

 

The steroid laws of the U.S. are some of the harshest the world over. There are countries that carry laws that are similarly strict but there are numerous that are far more lenient. China and some other countries are heavens for anabolic steroids and other performence-enhancing products. It is imperative you understand the law as it pertains to where you live before you buy any anabolic steroids. Due to the steroid laws of the U.S. and other parts of the world, if you are looking for high quality anabolics or SARMs you are encouraged to visit www.ultrapandaroids.com, which has 3 warehouses located in USA, Hong Kong , and Italy. Ultrapandaroids.com can legally provide you high quality anabolics without a prescription. 

 

Masteron Enanthate is a quality anabolic steroid and a great choice for a cutting cycle. However, if we were to rank it next to the Propionate version the Propionate version would win out. This is not because of the effectiveness of the two forms but the Propionate version is easier to control and there is more quality Masteron Propionate on the market.

 

Unfortunately Masteron (any form) often gets an unappreciated rating by some steroid users but this is because it’s not fully understood. Some steroid users gauge a steroid’s power only by what it can do in terms of adding raw size. If this is the only way you gauge a steroid it’s true Masteron will be disappointing. But if you can understand the importance and benefits outside of bulking that can exists with various steroids the Drostanolone hormone is one that’s in the top 20 if not the top 10.

 

 

Masteron was originally developed to treat breast cancer in women because of its anti-estrogen properties. These days it has been mostly replaced for medical use by newer drugs, but remains popular with bodybuilders and physique athletes for its physique enhancing properties that are especially ideal for pre-contest preparation in a cutting cycle where you have very low body fat already and want to trim down even more with a much harder dryer look.

 

Masteron’s benefits are some of the most specific you will find among any anabolic steroid. People who want to use Masteron will already have a target goal in mind and for most of us that will be to get as trimmed, toned and ripped as possible and for the purpose of contest preparation where fat needs to be at a minimum and the physique must be as hard and dry as possible. Masteron comes without water retention so provides a powerful addition to a cutting cycle where not only fat loss is desired, but an overall physique enhancement suiting the most serious of users.

 

 

 

Females can use Masteron but must be aware of the high risk of virilization side effects. The only method for females to use Masteron is at low doses and for short cycles of no longer than 6 weeks, but even then there is a risk of side effects like body hair growth and voice deepening – if these start occurring then women are advised to either reduce the dosage further or stop use of Masteron completely and these side effects will disappear.

 

Yes, just about all anabolic steroids require a post cycle therapy period afterwards and Masteron is no exception because it will suppress your testosterone during the cycle. Most people will make use of other steroids combined with Masteron which also come with their own testosterone suppressing effects – sometimes resulting in a complete shutdown of natural testosterone production. PCT making use of drugs like Clomid and Nolvadex as well as hCG is always advised following a Masteron cycle.

 

Masteron is an anabolic androgenic steroid, so it has both anabolic and androgenic properties. Both its anabolic and androgenic ratings are quite low but it has a strong bonding affinity to the androgen receptor which helps with fat loss and with the hardening of muscles – two of the main reasons people choose to use this steroid.
