Max LMG
Also known as: 13-ethyl-3-methoxy-gona-2,5(10)-diene-17-one, Methoxygonadiene
Max LMG (Methoxygonadiene) is a progestational designer prohormone that converts to an active 13-ethyl-nor compound in the body. It was marketed as a non-methylated alternative for mass gains. Its progestogenic activity made it notably different from most other prohormones on the market.

Mechanism of Action
A non-methylated prohormone that converts to an active 18-methyl-19-nortestosterone derivative. The methoxy group at C-3 is cleaved during metabolism. The active metabolite has significant progestogenic activity in addition to androgenic effects. Does not aromatize but progestogenic effects can mimic some estrogenic symptoms.
Dosing Research
Typically dosed at 50-100 mg per day in oral form. Cycles of 4-8 weeks. Due to its non-methylated nature, it is less hepatotoxic than methylated compounds. Can be stacked with methylated compounds more safely. PCT is required, with special attention to prolactin management.
Side Effects & Risks
Progestogenic side effects including potential gynecomastia, water retention, and libido suppression. Lower hepatotoxicity than methylated steroids. Can increase prolactin levels. HPTA suppression. Cardiovascular strain through lipid changes. Very limited human safety data.

Testosterone Enanthate
SteroidTestosterone Enanthate is one of the most widely used testosterone esters for hormone replacement therapy and performance enhancement. It features a long-acting enanthate ester that provides sustained release over approximately 1-2 weeks, making it one of the most convenient injectable testosterone formulations.
Testosterone Cypionate
SteroidTestosterone Cypionate is a long-acting testosterone ester very similar in pharmacokinetics to Testosterone Enanthate. It is the most commonly prescribed form of testosterone in the United States for hormone replacement therapy and is widely used in performance enhancement contexts.
Testosterone Propionate
SteroidTestosterone Propionate is a short-acting testosterone ester that requires more frequent injections than longer-estered variants. It provides faster onset and clearance, making it preferred for shorter cycles, contest preparation, or situations where rapid clearance is desired.
Oxandrolone
SteroidOxandrolone (Anavar) is one of the mildest and most well-studied oral anabolic steroids. Originally developed for medical use in burn patients, muscle wasting, and osteoporosis, it is valued in performance enhancement for producing lean, dry gains with minimal side effects. It is one of the few steroids prescribed to women and children in clinical settings.
