Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzyl Carbonate (Trx-100)

Description

What is Parabolan (Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate)?

Parabolan is a Nandrolone based anabolic steroid and it is very similar to the famous steroid Trenbolone Acetate. It is in fact the same steroid with a different ester attached to it, which gives it the chemical name of Trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate or simply Tren Hex. Hexabolan is another brand name of this steroid, but Parabolan is the most widely known and used name.
Trenbolone Hex StructureTren Hex Structure

Compared with the more commonly used form of Trenbolone, Parabolan is a longer lasting and slower releasing ester which can have some benefits for users who do not like the more frequent injections required of Trenbolone acetate. Besides this difference in the attached ester, the steroid structure itself is exactly the same with both forms of Trenbolone which results in them both having the same effects on the body.

This is a steroid with a number of benefits and some of the disadvantages that you would be familiar with when it comes to steroids. But even if some side effects with Tren Hex can be concerning, it is less likely to cause issues in some of the most familiar of steroid-induced impacts with the main one being its lack of estrogenic activity.

This immediately raises the interest not only of bodybuilders with bulking goals, but also physique competitors who are looking for a powerful steroid that will still provide results needed for competition where using a steroid that induces bloating or any sort of fluid retention is out of the question. So like all forms of Trenbolone, Parabolan is considered to be a steroid with versatile uses and one worth looking at even if gaining huge mass isn’t your primary goal.

Tren Hex was discontinued by its manufacturer over 20 years ago so is now only available to buy through underground labs, which sometimes sell it under varying names. It is generally harder to find and more expensive than the more popular Acetate version of Trenbolone. Like all anabolic steroids, it is not legal to purchase or use Tren Hex in the USA or most other countries.

Author’s Note: For real, NO-BS information on cycling steroids be sure to check out Straight From the Underground (my recommended underground steroid handbook). Everything in this book is based on first hand experience, not theory.

Meanwhile, if you are looking for something effective but don’t want to use steroids, here is my list of supplements that will help you with your quest in building muscles and getting leaner.
Parabolan Benefits (Tren Hex Effects)

If you’re familiar with what Trenbolone can do then you can expect very similar results to come from Tren Hex. This is a potent steroid that is significantly more anabolic and androgenic than testosterone itself which comes with both positive and negative effects. Let’s look at the best benefits and effects of Tren Hex:
Mass Gains

With anabolic properties measuring five times testosterone, which itself is an excellent promoter of muscle gain, we can expect Parabolan to have exceptional ability to promote gains in lean muscle mass. Because there’s no aromatizing activity, these gains come without water retention so there’s no masking of the weight you’ve gained. Because of the equally high androgenic nature of Parabolan, your gains will contribute to the hard and vascular physique that this steroid is well known for producing.
Muscle Endurance

A lesser known benefit of this steroid is that it will increase your muscular endurance, which is going to supercharge your workouts. By boosting red blood cell count and IGF-1, more oxygen can get to the muscles allowing them to work for longer and at a higher intensity. This can be thought of as the underlying mechanism in propelling the muscle gains you’ll get with Parabolan.
Fat Loss

Parabolan can boost the metabolic rate by inhibiting stress hormones which themselves result in a less anabolic state of the body, moving towards catabolism where muscle is lost and fat is gained. When the metabolism is optimized with a suppression of stress hormones, your anabolic level is heightened and this leads to faster and more efficient fat loss. Additionally, because Parabolan binds powerfully to androgen receptors it directly promotes lipolysis – the breakdown of fats. This allows Parabolan to have a direct impact on fat loss, making this a highly useful cutting steroid.
Parabolan Dosage

Parabolan is a powerful steroid with a long lasting, slow release ester that is very effective at delivering results at moderate doses. The majority of male users will not want the associated risks and severe side effects that can come with using very high doses of this Trenbolone steroid. Rarely will a dose of more than 300mg per week be desirable or useful, with superb results possible at even half that dosage.
Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Parabolan Dosage

Most beginner steroid users are unlikely to choose Tren Hex or any Trenbolone steroid as their first choice because this is a steroid that’s much more suited to more experienced users. However if as a beginner you choose to give Tren Hex a go, it’s vital to start at a low dose and evaluate its effects; ideally in the range of 100mg to 150mg weekly.

Intermediate users will be looking at dosage of 150-200mg weekly, while advanced users can also still achieve exceptional results at 200mg. Some of the most hardcore bodybuilders are known to up their dose of Parabolan beyond 300mg, and even up to 500mg per week in extreme cases but this comes with significant risk of side effects.
Proper Parabolan Administration and Timing

The long half life of Parabolan makes this a more convenient steroid to use compared to many others which can require daily injections. The ideal administration is for a twice weekly injection where you split your weekly dose in half. Some guys will choose to take just one injection per week but you’re more likely to have a drop in blood levels in that case, while a twice weekly administration gives you the certainty that you can maintain optimal levels without any dip. The most common cycle length is between 10 and 14 weeks.
Female Parabolan Dosage

Like all Trenbolone steroids, Parabolan is powerfully androgenic and even the lowest doses are very likely to result in development of male traits in female users. Most women therefore will choose not to use this steroid at all. Those who do proceed with a Parabolan cycle need to stop using it completely if any virilization starts occurring, otherwise the effects can be impossible to reverse.
Typical Parabolan Cycles

Because Tren Hex is a slow release steroid we need to use it for a longer period of time than many other steroids, and for most users it will mean a cycle of at least 10 weeks. It’s not unusual for a Parabolan cycle to extend to 14 weeks. You might not see any noticeable results for the first month of this cycle because of the length of time it takes this steroid to start reaching its peak levels in the body.

Therefore, a Parabolan cycle needs to be undertaken only by those who are prepared to go the full length of the cycle without immediate gratification of instant results. Below are some example cycles to consider with your use of Parabolan:
Beginner Parabolan Cycle

Beginners should prepare for a 12 week cycle if you want to experience the full potential of Parabolan. You should already have experience with other anabolic steroids before attempting this cycle. Even new users of Tren Hex will want to stack it with a similarly long acting testosterone ester like Testosterone Cypionate which in this cycle can be used at 500mg weekly, with Tren Hex taken at between 150mg and 200mg weekly. This cycle is going to be perfect for gaining mass and bulking with these two steroids going hand in hand to promote muscle growth.
Intermediate Parabolan Cycle

Parabolan is a steroid that’s more suited to at least intermediate level steroid users and you can consider running it for an extended 12 week cycle for bulking or cutting. This example is focused on cutting or contest preparation and includes a powerful cutting steroids in Winstrol. Combined with Tren Hex, Winstrol is going to help you achieve maximum physique hardness and dryness for a very ripped appearance by the end of the cycle.

Fat loss and gaining of some lean mass will be ramped up in this cycle, without water retention caused by any of the compounds. Testosterone is also included to provide a functional level of the hormone. Parabolan can be used at up to 300mg weekly and Winstrol oral at 50mg daily maximum. Winstrol should only be used for the first 6 weeks of this 12 week cycle as it will start working faster than Parabolan. Testosterone should be included in the stack at 100mg weekly for testosterone replacement purposes only.
Advanced Parabolan Cycle

Parabolan is going to mostly appeal to advanced and hardcore steroid users who have a good amount of steroid experience under their belt including knowledge of how to mitigate side effects so you can employ the best dosage for your goals without being hampered by side effects you don’t know how to control. The addition of some other very powerful compounds is going to take your mass gains to new levels.

Equipoise and Dianabol working alongside Parabolan and testosterone at replacement level dosage is going to provide one of the most powerful bulking combos possible. Dianabol at 25mg daily gives a potent kick start to the cycle and is only used for the first 6 weeks as it is a fast acting oral steroid. 400mg weekly of Equipoise and 350mg weekly of Tren Hex will take you through 14 weeks with these longer acting steroids. Testosterone enanthate is used only to provide a base level of testosterone and 100mg is sufficient for this purpose.
Stacking Parabolan

As we can see in the above example cycles, Tren Hex stacks very well with multiple other steroids and more often than not is stacked with at least one other compound. The best stacking strategy is to select steroids that have similar half life or release rates as Parabolan, which means the slower release esters. This allows the steroids to have better compatibility and also for convenience of administration where you can maintain an injection schedule of just twice weekly across all the compounds in the stack.
