Testosterone
propionate,
after Testosterone
cypionate and enanthate, is the third injectable
testosterone ester that needs
to be described in detail.
This
makes
sense because, unlike cypionate and enanthate,
both
of
which
are
widely
used and
well-spread in Europe, proprionate is little
noticed
by most
athletes. The reader will now
certainly pose the question of
why
the characteristics of
an apparently
rarely
used
substance
are described in detail. At a first glance this might seem a little
unusual but
when
looking
at this substance more closely, there are several reasons that become
clear.
Testosterone
propionate
is used
on
so few
occasions in
weightlifting,
powerlifting,
and
bodybuild-ing
not
because
it is
ineffective.
On the contrary, most do not
know about propionate and its
application
potential. One acts according to the mottos "what you don't know won't hurt
you" and
"If oth-ers
don't
use,
it
can't be any
good." We do
not
want
to
go this
far and call propionate the
most effective testosterone ester-, however, in certain applications it is superior to enanthate, cypionate, and also
undecanoate
because it
has characteristics which
the
common
test-osterones
do
not have.
The main difference between propionate, cypionate, and enanthate is the
respective
duration of effect. In contrast to
the long-acting enanthate
and
cypionate
depot steroids,
propionate
has
a distinctly lower
duration
of
effect. The reader
learns
how long
this
time
is
from the package
insert
of the German Jenapharm GmbH for
their compound "Testosteron
Jenapharm" (see
list
with
trade
'names): "Testosterone proprionate has a duration
of
effect of I
to
2
days." An
eye-catching
difference, however,
is
that the athlete "draws" distinctly less water
with
propionate and visibly
lower water
retention occurs. Since propionate
is quickly effective,
often after only one or
two
days,
the
athlete
experiences an increase
of his training
energy,
a better
pump,
an increased
appe-tite, and
a
slight
strength gain. As an initial dose
most athletes pre-fer a 50-100 mg injection. This offers two options: First,
because of the rapid initial
effect
of the propionate-ester
one
can initiate
a sev-eral-week-long
steroid
treatment
with
Testosterone
enanthate. Those who cannot wait until
the depot
steroids
become effective inject
250 mg of Testosterone enanthate
and 50 mg of Testosterone propionate at the
beginning
of
the
treatment. After
two days, when the
effect
of
the propionates decreases, another 50 mg ampule
is injected. Two days after
that, the elevated testosterone level caused by the propi-onate begins to
decrease.
By
that
time, the
effect
of
the
enanthates
in the body
would be present;
no further propionate injections
would be necessary. Thus the athlete rapidly reaches and maintains a high testosterone level
for a long
time due
to
the depot testo. This, for
example,
is
important
for athletes who with
Anadrol
50 over the six-week treatment have gained several pounds
and would now like to
switch to testosterone. Since Anadrol
50
begins
its "breakdown"
shortly
after
use
of
the
compound is discontinued, a fast
and el-evated
testosterone
level is
desirable.
The second option is to take
propionate during the entire
period of
intake. This, however, requires a
periodic
injection every
second day. Best
results can be
obtained
with 50-100
mg
per day or every sec-ond day. The
athlete, as
already
mentioned,
will
experience visibly lower water retention than
with the
depot testosterones so that propionate is well-liked
by
bodybuilders who easily draw water with
enanthate. A good
stack for
gaining
muscle mass would be, for example, 100 mg Testosterone
propionate every 2 days, 5p mg
Winstrol
Depot
every 2 days, and 30
mg Dianabol/day. Propionate is
mainly
used
in the
preparation
for
a
competition
and used by female athletes.
And in this phase, dieting is
often
combined
with,
testosterone to
maintain
muscle mass and muscle density at their
maximum. Propionate has always proven effective in this regard since
it
fulfills
these requirements
while lowering
possible water re-tention. This
water
retention
can be tempered by
using
Nolvadex
and
Proviron. A combination of
100 mg
Testosterone propionate every
2
days, either 50 mg
Winstrol
Depot/day or 76 mg Parabolan every
2 days,
and
25
mg Oxandrolone/day help
achieve this
goal and are
suitable for
building
up
"quality muscles."
Women
especially like propionate since, when applied properly,
an-drogenic-caused side effects
can be avoided more easily The trick
is
to
increase
the
time
intervals between the various injections
so that
the
testosterone
level
can
fall again
and so there
is an accumulation
of androgens in the female organism. Women therefore take
propi-onate
only every
5-7 days
and obtain
remarkable results
with
it.
The,
androgenic
effect
included in
the propionate allows
better re-generation without virilization symptoms for hard-training
women. The dosage is usually
25-50 mg/injection.
Higher
dosages
and
more frequent intervals of intake
would certainly show even better
re-sults but are not
recommended for women. The duration
of intake should not exceed 8-10 weeks
and
can
be
supplemented
by
taking mild and
mostly
anabolic
steroids such as, for example, Primobolan, Durabolin, and
Anadur
in
order to promote the
synthesis of pro-tein. Men who do not fear the intake of
testosterone
or the possible
side
effects
should
go
ahead and
give propionate a
try. The side ef-fects of propionate are usually
less frequent and
are
less
pronounced. The reason is that the weekly
dose of propionate is usually
much
lower
than with
depot
testosterones. A
daily
injection of 50 mg amounts
to a weekly
dose of 350 mg while several depot injections easily launch the
milligram content of testosterone
into
the four-figure range.
When
compared
with
enanthate and cypionate,
pro-pionate
is
also a
"milder" substance and thus better tolerated in the
body. Those who
are
convinced
that
they need daily testosterone
injections should consider taking propionate. The
key
to suc-cess
with propionate
lies in the regular intake of relatively small quantities (50-100
mg
every
1-2
days.)
Although
the
side effects
of
propionate
are similar
to
the ones of enanthate and cypionate
these, as already mentioned, occur less fre-quently. However, if there is a predisposition
and
very
high
dosages
are
taken,
the
known
androgenic-linked
side effects such
as
acne vulgaris,
accelerated hair loss, and increased growth of body hair and deep voice can occur. An increased libido is
common both
in
men
and
women
with
the
use of propionate.
Despite the high
conversion
rate
of propionate into estrogen gynecomastia is less common
than with other testosterones. The same is true for possible
water
reten-tion
since
the
retention of
electrolytes and
water is less
pronounced. The
administration of testosterone-stimulating
compounds
such as
HCG and Clomid
can, however, also be advised with propionate use since
it
has
a strong
influence
on
the
hypothalamohypophysial
tes-ticular
axis,
suppressing the endogenous
hormone
production.
The
toxic influence on the liver is
minimal so that a liver damage is unlikely (see also Testosterone enanthate).
What
athletes dislike
most
about propionate
are
the frequent
injections
that
are
necessary.
