So I recently started to consume high doses of Stano (mainly for cutting purposes) When it seemed as if I was getting bigger by the week in terms of muscle size. Started doing some serious research and stumbled on a article (which I will copy and past under here) that basically stated that DHT was a much better muscle builder than actual testosterone. Let me know what you guys think.
In a recent study we showed that dihydrotestosterone (DHT), but not testosterone, increases force production in fast contracting muscles and decreases it in slow contracting ones. These findings led us to suggest that DHT may be a better muscle building hormone than testosterone. In the present study, we have examined the effects of these hormones on amino acid transport in mouse fast and slow contracting skeletal muscle fibre bundles. Our results show that DHT increases protein synthesis and the transport of essential amino acids into fast contracting muscle fibre bundles, whereas testosterone does not. These findings confirm our previous proposition and reinforce our suggestion that DHT may be a better hormone for the treatment of muscle wasting conditions than testosterone.
