For comparison purposes, 4-AD by injection is listed as being something like 105% as androgenic and 95% as anabolic (i am going by memory here cuz its not in Vida)
So you can see that 4-AD is alot more potent. However, the methoxytestosterone likely has very high oral bioavailability cuz i am guessing the methoxy group stays on there and this compound acts directly. IN other words, it would not be a prohormone but an active steroid.
If this is true than it would be protected from metabolism to the 17-keto form which is the main route of deactivation of androgens (the purpose of a 17alpha-alkyl group BTW is to prevent this deactivation)
So I guess you are weighing decreased anabolic activity versus increased oral bioavailability. I do not know what the sum of the equation will come to. I do know that you likely would need large dosages of the stuff (like 100mg or more)
In the case of methoxytrenbolone, i would guess that the product might be decently effective, since trenbolone is so anabolic to begin with (so 25% might be OK). However, once again, you probably would have to consume a decent amount to feel somehting. like 20mg or more
