Testosterone Propionate 100mg 12 ml

Dosage: 400-1000 mg per week

As with all testosterones, the propionate version will work the same way. This means that strength, endurance, libido, and aggression are increased.

Testosterone is what makes men, men – stronger and more muscular than women, less fat. It’s also what makes men lose their hair, causes oily skin, and enlarges prostate tissue. But you have to take the bad with the good, especially if you want to get muscular.

Of course, as with all testosterone, the propionate will aromatize and some of it will be converted to estrogen. In itself, this is not so bad since estrogen also increases muscle size and IGF production and helps maintain healthy lipid profiles. But too much estrogen is the bane of anyone looking for a hard, lean physique. Therefore, when using a carrier, or any test, it is recommended to use a small amount of an anti aromatase, such as arimidex or aromatic. Anti estrogens such as Nolvadex will not work as well because it is site specific and has a rebound effect. (More on this in another profile).

Test propionate, or “prop” as it is referred to, is a slightly different substance than all the other testosterones. It is much faster acting and does not stay active for very long. (About 48 hours). For this reason, multiple weekly, or better yet, daily injections are required. So what is the benefit of using something that must be injected every day? There are several theories on this.

For one, the carrier becomes active instantly. Blood T levels will spike within minutes. This provides instant energy and an all around “good” feeling. It is also a favorite among athletes who might be drug tested. You can use prop every day for a month and stop 2 days before a test and register “normal”. (Maybe even a little low because you will be suppressed). But more than anything else, prop is a purer form of testosterone, mainly due to the fact that it is not connected to an ester that allows for a slow release. In other words, when you use, say 100 mg of cypionate, you are not getting 100 mgs, because the ester itself is part of the molecular structure. The ester “takes up” the 100 mg equation. It is estimated that about 69% of cyp or enanthate is actual testosterone, while 84% of propionate is active testosterone. Yes, that seems a little misleading. A hundred mg should mean a hundred mg, right? This is just one of those technical aspects that usually doesn’t make much difference. But for bodybuilders using high doses for months and looking to get the biggest bang for their buck, that little bit means a lot!

Another benefit of propionate is that it causes less bloating than the long-acting esters. Besides the aesthetic benefit, it allows for the use of test when cutting – perfect for competitive bodybuilders. This alone is why you can never tell a prop lover that “test test”. There is a difference. However, what difference is debatable.

One of the accolades given to support this is that it “kicks in” sooner than other testosterones. Well, yes and no. As mentioned, it becomes active within minutes, and at a higher concentration, making it preferable for the beginning of a cycle as a “kick”. Again, any oral will do the same thing. Also, either cypionate or enanthate will raise T levels within 24 hours – not weeks as has often been wrongly claimed – so how long is a starting dose? It’s a personal choice. For some it’s worth the daily injections for others it’s not. In any case, prop gives undeniable results and stacks well with any other steroid.
