lol- I have had to explain this one probably 100 times in the last 6 weeks or so- it is nothing like m5aa or STS 646 (oral DHT) in terms of potency or effects- the molecular structure is very different- substituting an oxime at C3 completely changes the pharmacokinetics.....if the ketone @ C3 were still present, yes, it would.....but at the same time, if there is even a small alteration of the A ring, even on a 5-AR compound, it can completely change many of the characteristics (androgenicity, etc.)- look at mestanolone (STS 646):
and look at drostanolone:
basically, drostanolone is un-17aa methyldrostanolone (superdrol)- it is simply missing the methyl @ C17. Look at the methyl @ C2- it is the only A ring alteration on the molecule aside from the ketone @ 3 that makes the molecule different from oral mestanolone. Yet, as we all know, superdrol can yield 15-20 lb. gains in literally 3-4 weeks- yet it is exactly the same as mestanolone except for the C2 alteration- one small change is all it takes- and another case in point- drostanolone itself unmethylated at C17 is a poor mass builder (injectible)- but the methylation @ C17 (methyldrostanolone) turns it into a potent mass builder....
