<B>Testosterone Propionate </B>[/font]
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 several 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,
androgenic 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 results
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 protein.
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, propionate 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 success 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.
