hey mike, recomp wise of this drug, what would u rate it?
We typically think of re-comping as "losing fat and building muscle simultaneously", but in reality, the AAS we have labeled as the most effective re-comping agents often aren't the best muscle builders and sometimes aren't the best fat burners either.
For example, testosterone is one of the best muscle builders available and has also been shown to assist in fat loss to a greater degree than many other AAS, yet its not generally considered a "great" re-comping steroid. On the other hand, a drug like Winstrol will build far less muscle than testosterone, while causing less fat loss, yet it is considered a good re-comping drug.
The steroids we usually consider to be the best re-comping drugs are those which "appear" to change the body the fastest. The drugs which do the best job at this are usually those which cause rapid and significant sub-q water loss and muscle hardening, as these two effects make the physique appear more muscular and leaner within a short period of time.
Trenbolone does a magnificent job at this, why is why it is considered one of the best re-comping drugs available. However, if trenbolone lacked its trademark dying and hardening effects, you better believe it would not be considered nearly as good of a re-comping drug as it is today.
It is precisely these effects (hardening & drying) which lead to trenbolone's dramatic physical changes during the first few weeks of use, NOT some miraculous fat burning and muscle building effect. In reality, trenbolone usually causes very little fat loss or muscle growth within the first 3-4 weeks of use, yet most people will claim it had a significant "re-comping" effect on their physique within that time frame. Without the sub-q water loss and muscle hardening, no one would be saying this.
So, as you can see, there is a difference between a genuine re-comping effect and the "appearance" of a re-comping effect. Many steroids will make it "appear" as though the body has undergone a significant re-comp within a short period of time, but as soon as the drug is discontinued, the physique quickly relapses into its former, pre-drug state.
So, is trestolone a good re-comping drug? It depends on your perspective. Are you more concerned with temporary, rapid changes in your appearance? Or, are you more concerned with legitimate muscle growth and fat loss, even though these effects might initially appear to be less pronounced from a visual standpoint?
If the former is more important, trestolone is not for you. Trestolone is certainly a strong muscle builder and being a potent androgen, it should be a relatively potent fat burner as well (as far as steroids go), but its water retaining effects will blur any fat loss which might take place. In addition, it lacks the hardening effect of some other AAS, so the muscles appear "softish" by comparison. Because of this, it will appear as though your re-comp were less successful than when using other drugs.
