Ok here I go, cutting steroids is a bad way to label lean muscle building steroids. This is why, all anabolic steroids build muscle. There are the compounds that retain more water then other compounds. Then compounds that retain water are (bulking) steroids they help gain large amount of weight in short amount of time. The lean muscle compounds (cutting) steroids. They still help build muscle, they just don't retain as muscle water. Having more muscle then makes your BF % lower so you look or cut. Also muscle burns fat, so the more muscle you have compared to fat the more fat you can burn with less effert. So it does help lean you out. But these compounds alone won't make you lose weight. You have to change your diet. People label these as cutting roids, well I beleave that to be misleading to new comers. Many beleave this is a easy way to lose weight. Aas are not a diet pill, there for muscle gain. I am a huge fan of them, but I think people need to do many hours of research before they even think about starting a cycle. These chemicals change the way your endocrine system work. This is all your hormones. The endocrine system has the capablity of making you feel great, or making your life a living hell. Listen to people who have done many cycles, take note of the sides, don't just here the pros and zone out when people tell you the cons.
