Doing some small research on bonesmashing you can tell in the theory it might work but also could be an absolute cope but I may have found a better way to do it?
How does this work?
OSTEOCLASTS:
Osteoclasts are specialized cells responsible for the breakdown and resorption of bone tissue. They play a crucial role in bone remodeling, which is a continuous process of bone formation and destruction that maintains bone strength and integrity.
Here are key features of osteoclasts:
In summary, osteoclasts are vital for bone maintenance and the regulation of bone mineral content, ensuring that bones stay strong and healthy.
Most of you may already know about this theory but I just found out about this but what happens if you are on roids (mainly TRT)
High levels of testosterone can influence osteoclast activity, but the effects are complex and can vary depending on various factors, including age, gender, and overall hormonal balance.
In general, testosterone has been shown to have inhibitory effects on osteoclast activity. Here's how it works:

OSTEOCLASTS:
Osteoclasts are specialized cells responsible for the breakdown and resorption of bone tissue. They play a crucial role in bone remodeling, which is a continuous process of bone formation and destruction that maintains bone strength and integrity.
Here are key features of osteoclasts:
- Function: Osteoclasts break down bone tissue by secreting acids and enzymes that dissolve the mineralized bone matrix and degrade collagen. This process releases calcium and phosphate into the bloodstream, contributing to mineral balance in the body.
- Origin: Osteoclasts originate from hematopoietic stem cells, which are the same stem cells that produce certain types of white blood cells. This is different from osteoblasts, which are derived from mesenchymal stem cells.
- Structure: Osteoclasts are large, multinucleated cells (meaning they have many nuclei). They attach to the bone surface in areas that need to be resorbed and create a specialized structure called the "resorption lacuna," where the bone is broken down.
- Regulation: Their activity is regulated by various signaling molecules, including hormones like parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin, as well as factors like RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand), which stimulate osteoclast formation and activation.
- Balance with Osteoblasts: The activity of osteoclasts needs to be balanced with the activity of osteoblasts, the cells that build new bone. If osteoclast activity is too high, it can lead to bone loss and conditions like osteoporosis. Conversely, if osteoclast activity is too low, bones can become abnormally dense and fragile, as seen in diseases like osteopetrosis.
In summary, osteoclasts are vital for bone maintenance and the regulation of bone mineral content, ensuring that bones stay strong and healthy.

High levels of testosterone can influence osteoclast activity, but the effects are complex and can vary depending on various factors, including age, gender, and overall hormonal balance.
In general, testosterone has been shown to have inhibitory effects on osteoclast activity. Here's how it works:
- Reduced Osteoclast Activity: Testosterone generally helps to suppress the formation and activity of osteoclasts. This means that with higher levels of testosterone, there might be less bone resorption (bone breakdown). Testosterone can reduce the expression of RANKL (a key signaling molecule that stimulates osteoclast differentiation and activity) and increase the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG), a decoy receptor that prevents RANKL from activating osteoclasts.
- Impact on Bone Density: Testosterone is an important hormone for maintaining bone density. It has an indirect effect on increasing bone formation (by stimulating osteoblasts) and limiting bone resorption (by inhibiting osteoclasts). As a result, high testosterone levels can contribute to stronger bones, which is why men typically have higher bone density than women.
- Potential Bone Health Effects with Excess Testosterone:
- Increased Bone Density: If you have significantly high testosterone levels (such as through testosterone replacement therapy or anabolic steroid use), it may lead to an increase in bone density, at least in the short term, by inhibiting osteoclast activity and promoting osteoblast function.
- Long-Term Effects and Risks: Excessive testosterone, especially from external sources like steroids, can disrupt hormonal balance, potentially leading to negative effects on bone health. Over time, it may contribute to bone issues by altering the natural regulation of bone remodeling.
Basically it could regenerate bones easier and with less osteoclast activity and more Osteoblasts, making them stronger
