Methyltestosterone(Afro) is a hormone used to treat men with a testosterone deficiency. It is also used in women to treat breast cancer, breast pain, swelling due to pregnancy, and with the addition of estrogen it can treat symptoms of menopause.
For athletic purposes, methyltestosterone is generally only used to stimulate aggression among power lifters and those looking to boost up their workouts.
As with other Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) a quick look at the structure of Methyltestosterone will give us some clues as to how it will function once in the human body. We can see that it is 17-alpha-methyl altered so that the hormone can survive its first pass through the liver, and be effective as an oral agent, rather than just being destroyed by the liver. Unfortunately, this alteration also puts stress on the liver and contributes to the hepatoxicity (liver toxicity) of this compound, which is quite profound with this drug.
Taking endogenous hormones (AAS) will affect your natural testosterone levels as well as many interrelated hormones and processes. Methyltestosterone is no exception to this rule, and taking it will result in significant decreases in plasma levels of gonadotropins, gonadal steroids, sex hormone binding globulin, free T3 and T4, and thyroid binding globulin. Inclusion of Arimidex at (.5mgs/day to help lower estrogen levels) or a similar ancillary, as well as Finasteride(Prosterit, Propecia) (1mg/day to help combat DHT) would be warranted with the use of Methyltest. Also, when considering the possible side effects and hormonal effects Methyltest can have on a user, proper Post Cycle Therapy (Nolvadex,Tadex at 20mgs/day and 500iu/day of HCG(Pregnyl, Choragon) for 3 weeks) is necessary.
The people who liked Methyltest generally cited effects such as increased strength and aggression while using it, especially when it was taken before workouts. Herein lies the most effective and common use for Methyltest in a cycle: rapid increases in strength and aggression when a dose is taken prior to a workout or athletic event, 25mgs taken an hour before working out or competing should be sufficient for this purpose. Someone on a cycle may want to consider the inclusion of this drug into their regimen to make their workouts more productive, and thus get maximum results from their workouts, and allow the other anabolics in their cycle to be more efficient. Powerlifters also love this drug and it is often used prior to competitions as well as prior out workouts.
