Yes they ****ing are unless you're being completely pedantic. The whole goal of anabolic steroids is to mimic testosterone. My understanding is that most anabolic steroids are modified testosterone to increase bioavailability.... although that's a bit beyond me.
To get really basic though, 'anabolic' refers to the metabolic pathways that make stuff. 'Steroid' is a hydrophobic hormone that acts in a cell instead of on the cell surface like other peptide hormones.
Guess what testosterone is? It's a steroid hormone that is makes stuff. FFS testosterone
is an anabolic steroid.
