Masteron and Muscle Growth - What is the Connection? (Does Masteron Promote Muscle Growth?)

Many guys will attest to the efficacy of Masteron in controlling E2-related side-effects and especially, decreasing water retention and other nasty sides from other Anabolic steroids. Masteron's increased availability by UGL's has allowed this tool to be one of convenience & necessity. Whenever a cycle is started, Masteron is usually implemented. Pro-Bodybuilders and novices alike can gain benefit to this compound. 

There are some other bits about it though that have largely gone unexplained. Now any of us who have cycled at any time through our life with 'dry' compounds KNOWS that Masteron IS NOT intended for muscle growth. But in a subset of individuals it causes muscle growth and even in experienced cyclers, it helps facilitate the gains. Why is that?

In order to understand the reasons, we must understand the mode of action.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND MECHANISM OF MASTERON

Masteron is also known as drostanolone, which appears in enanthate and propionate forms. The drug is versatile and has a long half-life of over 72 hours. This gives users the room to inject every 3 days (E3D). Chemically, Masteron is a modified "ester" featuring an added methyl group at the carbon 2 position. This slows down its breakdown and sustains a consistent amount in the blood for days. 

By mechanism, Masteron then continues providing anti-estrogen support and boosting androgenic output in the body, leading to increased stamina, motivation  and strength. It is by this mechanism that Masteron can help facilitate gains. However, Masteron as a strong DHT-derivative should have other effects as well.

Endogenous and exogenous DHT activates MAPK [1], inhibits myostatin [2] and functionally enhances muscle growth [3]

Masteron users constantly report a successful body recomposition effort [4] and often report increased muscle mass [5]

Therefore, the best conclusion is that based on science. Masteron can promote muscle growth AND strength increases. Of course, its always best to stack Masteron with Test E or sustanon, but to each their own - its just good to have this research around.

There's a little more you should read.

MASTERON PROMOTES ENDOCRINE HOMEOSTASIS

Not only is Masteron a useful tool for boosting muscle gains and strength, but it also helps to nourish the endocrine system (even if it is suppressive at high doses). Specifically, it can guard against toxic effects of phyto and synthetic estrogens by directly blocking the receptors they bind to.

Theoretically, Masteron can help protect against the negative hormonal effects of pesticides and may do so quicker than "detoxification" methods.

Then, masteron is truly one of the most versatile steroids on the market.

MASTERON ACTS ON "FAST-TWITCH" FIBERS TO ALTER SPECIFIC PROTEINS

So we already know that Masteron can support muscle growth AND protect against negative hormonal influences, but it ALSO works at the cellular level to promote muscle growth.

The whole concept of using anabolic hormones centers around increasing protein synthesis and nitrogen retention - and not only does Masteron & DHT prevent declines in protein synthesis, but they directly enhance protein synthesis as well.

This makes them incredibly useful as a protective agent and one used for maintaining the gains in the face of caloric disturbance, stress or other problems in life.
