All right i knew you people would have to have it layed out for you in detail, instead of doing a little thinking and research on your own. It's so pointless talking to some people on the internet, they just assume they know everything and laugh at the possibility that there may just be something they are not 100% enlightened to.
The popuplar myth going around with most of the steroid users is that anabolic steroids are anabolic steroids. No matter the compound, if it exibits any anabolism it gets classified on one of the groups of either class 1 or class 2 anabolic steroid. That many be true for just about all anabolic steroid.
Now all anabolic class steroids have an anabolic and androgenic aspect to them. Testosterone has about and equal ratio of anabolic and androgenic properties. All steroids that are modified from testosterone in where their androgenic aspect is reduced lower and the anabolic side kept higher, thus reducing androgenic side effects becomes an ANABOLIC STEROID. A good exmaple of an anabolic steroid will be Nondrolone. Or better know as Deca Durabolin. This is a classic ANABOLIC but in this case it is not derived from testosterone but rather Progesterone.
So as you can see some anabolics are not even derived from testosterone and can cause side effects similar to test but thorugh different pathways. For example you can get Gyno from estrogen when using test, or you can get it from Progesterone by using deca or tren. This is yet another reason why medicine has 2 different classifications for test and anabolics. Even though test does exibit anabolism it is not classified as an anabolic steroid.
Chemically speaking Testosterone is one substance.
Anabolics could be derived from test, estrogen, progesterone, DHT,etc... That is why they have different classifications in medicine. MEDICINE, not some jucie head opinions.
