Propionate

Testosterone-Propionate was one of the first anabolic androgenic steroids ever synthesized and made ready for human use in mass production and as such is one of the most popular anabolic steroids of all tune. While there are hundreds of anabolic steroids and forms within each, Testosterone-Propionate is largely one of the easiest to understand as it is very basic in composition and simply a pure testosterone. However, as simple as it is it further remains very powerful and highly effective yet many understand Testosterone-Propionate as well as they understand the most basic algorithms used in space exploration. While a very simple hormone to understand the facts remain tarnished as most gamer their information from intemet wonder boys who are masters of the Bro-Tastic lifestyle. Nevertheless the troth is out there; understanding is attainable and we’ve provided you with a good place to start. We have taken some of the most common misconceptions off of some of the most popular message boards that deal in the discussion of anabolic steroids and Testosterone-Propionate and left you with the troth. Testosterone-Propionate is one of the more popular testosterone forms used the world over and one of the more popular anabolic androgenic steroids of all time. As testosterone was the first anabolic steroid every synthesized Testosterone Propionate was the first form to hit the shelves in mass quantities made ready for human use. Like the popular oral steroid Dianabol, Testosterone-Propionate has been available for a very long time and like Dianabol it is just as popular today as its ever been. One of the reasons Testosterone-Propionate holds such high popularity is simply because it is pure testosterone, a very versatile anabolic hormone; further, most who use it find it very easy to control; while all testosterone forms are comprised of the same identical active hormone because the Propionate version is so fast acting and short lived due to its very nature it is perhaps the most controllable testosterone available with stability and peak levels being very easy to maximize and held in an efficient manner. Moreover, as almost every pharmaceutical company that manufactures anabolic steroids manufactures Testosterone Propionate, as well as every last underground lab and since black market sales are the largest corner of the steroid market it’s easy to understand how and why so much Testosterone-Propionate finds its way into the hands of many every year.

The Benefits of Testosterone Propionate

The benefits of Testosterone-Propionate are truly great and in short the benefits most anyone would desire to hold if anabolic steroids were being used. Through the use of Testosterone-Propionate we aptly create a playing field perfect for almost any situation be it bulking, cutting or simply trying to provide an added athletic edge. Through its use the individual can expect to see increases in lean tissue and strength, decreased body fat due to improved metabolic function as well as a greater ability for healing and recovery. A common misconception is that Testosterone Propionate is only well-suited during a cutting cycle and while it is definitely perfect for a cutting cycle it is perfect because it is testosterone, not because it has the Propionate ester attached. The truth is simple, any testosterone form can be used in a cutting cycle or bulking cycle with equal effectiveness, however, there are variances to consider. As a short ester steroid Testosterone Propionate must be necessarily administered at a minimum of every three days with every other day being far more optimal; because many will be using other short ester steroids during a cutting cycle often it makes sense to use Testosterone-Propionate during this time and simply administer them all at once. However, because peak levels are so easy to control with the use of Testosterone Propionate due to the short ester being attached many, especially in the competitive bodybuilding world use Testosterone-Propionate in their off-season as well.

Testosterone Propionate Potency

All testosterone forms are the same hi-terms of the active hormone; Testosterone Propionate, Testosterone Cypioncrte, Testosterone Enanthate or any other form you can think of are all comprised of the same identical testosterone hormone. However, per milligram Testosterone-Propionate will prove to be more potent as more of it is actual testosterone. For example, a 100mg injection of Testosterone Cypionate will yield approximately 70mg of testosterone; the remainder of the total mass will be the ester. As for Propionate, as it is a short ester its total mass in a particular compound is less than a larger ester such as Cypionate or Enanthate; in the case of Testosterone-Propionate a 100mg injection will yield approximately 80mg of testosterone. While this is an interesting fact, in the grand scheme of things it’s really not that important as when we consider multiple injections over the course of many weeks this makes the difference of an inconsequential nature.

Testosterone Propionate Cycles & Doses

Bulking, cutting, HRT or any other reason you can think of, Testosterone-Propionate is a perfect choice to meet all your testosterone needs. Regardless of your purpose, because the half-life is so short necessarily you will need to inject this steroid every other day if it is going to be used in the most effective and efficient means possible; maintaining stable blood test levels is important and every other day administration is the only way this will be achieved with Testosterone Propionate. While there is no set maximum dose, 500mg per week up to 1,000mg per week is the standard dosing for most performance enhancers. 500mg per weeks is often considered the gold standard for most beginners and is perhaps the most common dose among all steroid users. 500mg per week will provide a bump beyond what most would ever expect and is often all they’ll ever need. However, some will inevitably want more, especially when we creep into both competitive bodybuilding and the hardcore gym and training world in general. In these cases 1,000mg per week is somewhat common place and can be used successfully and safely; further, while 1,000mg is common, 1,500mg and beyond is by no means rare. Always understand the truth, testosterone carries with it a risk to reward ratio that is very real. The more Testosterone-Propionate you use the greater your reward will be. However, the more Testosterone-Propionate you use the greater your risk will be as well; in the end the risk you decide to take is on you and you alone. As for your Testosterone-Propionate cycle, most will find 8 weeks of use to be the bear minimum with 16 weeks being far more efficient Regardless of your duration of use a solid post cycle therapy (PCT) plan must be in place. Because Testosterone-Propionate is a short ester based testosterone you will necessarily begin PCT very quickly. If your cycle ends with Prop, as it is commonly known, assuming your cycle ends with all short ester steroids you will want to start your PCT approximately 3 days after your last injection. A good PCT will include hCG in ten day equal dosing’s followed by 3-4 weeks of Nolva and/or Clomid therapy.

Benefits of Using Testosterone Propionate As a testosterone based anabolic steroid the benefits of Testosterone-Propionate supplementation are nothing short of amazing and truly encompass almost every benefit one who uses anabolic steroids would desire. As a testosterone such benefits will include but are not limited to: • Increased Strength: • Increased Muscle Mass •Reduced Body-Fat • Increased Recovery • Increased Levels of IGF-1 • Increased Sex Drive •A Greater Sense of Well-Being • Increased Energy • Greater Athletic Performance As you can easily see the benefits are truly great and largely understood by a simple brief overview of testosterone. Testosterone greatly increases nitrogen retention thereby allowing more protein to be stored in the muscles of the body thereby increasing protein synthesis. Further, as by its nature, testosterone greatly blocks and reduces the glucocorticoid hormones in the body; the muscle wasting hormones that not only destroy muscle tissue but promote body-fat gains as well. Equally as important, as powerfully anabolic and androgenic testosterone promotes recovery and regeneration; the faster we recover the faster and greater our growth; further, the greater our regeneration the greater our athletic performance. When you couple this with its ability to increase the potent naturally occurring anabolic hormone IGF 1 you truly have a remarkable anabolic steroid in Testosterone-Propionate.

Side-Effects of Testosterone Propionate All anabolic steroids carry with them possible negative and adverse side-effects; in that Testosterone-Propionate makes no exception. However, often the effects are highly exaggerated and it is important to note that through responsible use in healthy adult men such side-effects can largely be controlled and often of little concern at all. The most common side-effects of Testosterone-Propionate use will be estrogenic related due to the aromatase process. As testosterone will convert to estrogen via the aromatase enzyme common side-effects include but are not limited to: •Gynecomastia

Water Retention •High Blood Pressure •High Cholesterol These are the most common side-effects but all hope is not lost. We can greatly reduce these side-effects by taking two precautions; ensuring our diets are full of healthy omega fatty acids and through the use of quality aromatase inhibitors such as Arimidex or Letrozole. However, there is one side-effect that will occur in all men who supplement with Testosterone-Proplonate and that is testicular atrophy. Exogenous testosterone use will suppress your natural production; however, once use is discontinued normal production will begin again and testicular size will return to normal. References 1.
