yeah theres way more to the equation than SARM<PH<AAS...
fueledpassion hit most of it tho.
SARMS (many things that are "lumped in" here are not even sarms at all based on the true MOA of them)
PH (something that has at least a 1-step conversion to an active steroid; many of the common ones still on the market tho are 2-steps and thus much weaker per mg)
DS - designer steroids; these would be the types that FP was talking about that are actually active compounds (epistane, dmz, msten, etc)
AAS - I would only lump true 100% non-converting steroids in here... test/tren/etc... these should be the strongest mg:mg simply due to the fact that they're direct hormonal items that require no conversion, delivery from oral or td source, or lose "strength" anywhere during their administration.
frankly, saying that any one compound is "stronger" than another is simply going to come down to dosing.
5mg of tren isnt gonna be "stronger" than 10000mg of even the highest-step converting ph or low level sarm.
to make things even harder, stacking and personal factors will change any equation potentially dramatically as well. 2 items stacked can have a 1+1=3 effect (or the opposite) and each individual will respond differently based on their diet, body chemistry, natural hormonal levels, androgen receptors, etc etc...
And when you talk about risk, thats a whole different convo. Injecting pure test is probably the LEAST risky of anything. At a reasonable level, you're simply talking about replacing a natural hormone in your body and just going to the higher end of the scale. I would say its far less risky (even though markedly stronger) than a 2-step , test-converting ph which will have a myriad of organ and other functional risks.
