Methenolone was originally developed to treat medical conditions that caused muscle wasting. This highlights how effective this compound is at preventing loss of muscle, which is a highly desirable trait for any bodybuilder or athlete.

While not a powerful bulking steroid and one that won’t contribute much to size gain in most men, it is an excellent cutting compound due to the way Primobolan is able to help retain lean muscle tissue mainly through the process of increasing nitrogen retention.

Primobolan is a steroid that comes both in oral and injectable forms, with the injection tending to be more popular with performance athletes. It’s been said that Primobolan was a favored steroid used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime and this is likely one of the reasons it remains popular with bodybuilders today.

Finding high quality and genuine Primobolan can be a challenge with counterfeits being common, particularly with the oral form. So before you even consider using Primobolan, make sure you can source it from a reliable supplier.

Depot is the name of the injectable form of Primobolan. It is considered to be a more effective and slightly more powerful form of Primobolan, but the effects are still similar to the oral form and it remains a relatively mild steroid compared with most others out there.

Just like oral Primobolan, Depot isn’t a mass gaining steroid but provides the most benefit during cutting cycles where you need to retain maximum muscle while burning fat and eating a lower calorie diet.

Females are more likely not to choose Primobolan Depot as the oral form is generally better tolerated and controlled with a lower risk of side effects.
Methenolone Acetate (Oral Primobolan)

The oral form of Primobolan is Methenolone Acetate in chemical form, with the acetate being a small ester attached to the Methenolone hormone so it can be consumed in oral form. Unlike many other oral steroids, Primobolan doesn’t come with the high risk of liver toxicity; in fact there are virtually no known causes of liver stress or damage caused by this steroid.

The mild anabolic effects of oral Primobolan make it an ideal choice for women who can see excellent results at low doses with relatively low risk of virilization side effects compared with other steroids. While oral Primobolan can also be effective for male users, many men will prefer the injectable Depot version which is considered to be more effective.

Due to the difficulty in obtaining high quality Primobolan, not everyone will have the option to choose between oral or depot, with the choice often resting simply on what you are able to obtain. Cost will also be a factor in your decision between the two formats, as this can be a very expensive steroid to run.

It’s not unusual for a 50mg tablet to cost $3.50 each from a quality underground lab or $25 per 100mg ml of Primobolan depot. These costs must be considered before planning which format you wish to use and whether you can afford an entire cycle in combination with any other steroids you plan to stack Primobolan with.
Primobolan Benefits (Primobolan Effects)

Primobolan is derived from DHT so you can expect it to have a lot of the same properties and effects as that hormone including the benefit of it not being an aromatizing hormone. This makes it a powerful compound for cutting because you can achieve a very cut and lean look without the bloating caused by fluid retention.

Here are the main benefits and effects of Primobolan:

Promotes nitrogen retention: this is what makes Primobolan so useful for retaining muscle tissue during a cutting cycle and what makes it the main reason people use this steroid.
Enhances immune system: this is an important side benefit because we as steroid users need the immune system to be as strong as possible for maximum strength, energy, mental focus and all round health. During a cutting cycle in particular where you are eating less, the immune system can take a hit and this is where Primobolan brings some extra benefit during a cutting cycle.
Gain a lead and hard physique: with its ability to promote the preservation of lean muscle without the side effects we must dread when losing fat – water retention and gyno – Primobolan is an excellent compound to use when achieving the ultimate hard, toned and defined physique is the main goal.

Here are the areas where Primobolan is not going to be your ideal steroid to use:

For bulking and mass gains: Primobolan has mild anabolic properties so is not primarily used for gaining muscle and size in a bulking cycle.
Strength: Again due to its lower anabolic rating compared with many other steroids, only mild gains in strength can be expected so if you’re looking for massive strength gains there are other steroids that will suit you instead of Primobolan.

Primobolan Dosage

Because of its relatively low anabolic rating, using Primobolan with any benefits normally means dosing it at a higher level than we might for most other steroids. These higher doses still only make Primobolan most effective for cutting cycles, as the dosing required for bulking would be too high to be practical or healthy.

Whatever your goals are, Primobolan is almost always stacked with other steroid compounds as it tends to have little beneficial effect when used alone for most men, but can be effective for women.
Injectable Primobolan (Primobolan Depot) Dosage

Injecting Primobolan gives you the best effects of this steroid and is the option most serious users will want to consider. It stacks well particularly with other non-aromatizing steroids that can often be conveniently administered in the same injection.
Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Dosage

Using injectable Primobolan during a cutting cycle will have the same goals no matter what your experience level is: namely to preserve your lean muscle while you’re on a calorie restricted diet to lose fat. The gaining of new muscle isn’t desirable at this stage and Primobolan is not a muscle gainer, even at higher doses.

Beginners can see good results with injectable Primobolan at 400mg weekly and this is considered to be the lowest effective dose – any lower and Primobolan is unlikely to have a noticeable benefit.

Intermediate users can increase the weekly dosage to 700mg, with advanced Primobolan users able to inject up to 1000mg while still retaining minimal side effect risks.

Splitting the dosage into a twice weekly injection is the standard procedure and this will ensure your blood levels of Primobolan remain at the optimal level.
Proper Administration and Timing

Injectable Primobolan has a much longer half life than the oral form at up to ten days, so daily administration is not needed to retain levels of the steroid.

Twice weekly injections work well for most people and ensure that Primobolan is maintained at an optimal level for the duration of your cycle. This means splitting your dose in half each week and making sure that there is a consistent gap between each injection, usually of three days.
Female Dosage

The mild anabolic effects of Primobolan can suit female users well as this steroid is nowhere near as powerful as many others. Women using Primobolan can expect quality performance and physique enhancement results using low doses which are unlikely to produce the masculinization that are such a high risk with most other steroids.

A daily dose of between 50mg and 100mg is more than enough for female users to get excellent benefits with low risks of side effects. More advanced females can increase the injectable dose up to 200mg but need to be aware of the higher risk of virilization.
Oral Primobolan (Methenolone Acetate) Dosage

The oral form of Primobolan is clearly preferable for anyone who is hesitant about injecting themselves with steroids, but it’s well known that despite the compound being the same besides the attached ester, oral Primobolan is not quite as effective as the injection and this can just be to do with how its taken up by the body.

In any case, if the oral form is the only one you can get your hands on or you simply don’t want to deal with injections then it’s still well worth using as long as you get your doses right optimized for best results.

Unlike other steroids out there, Tren has no current approved medical use for humans and was mainly developed for use in the veterinary world. Nowadays, only Trenbolone Acetate continues to be used in veterinary medicine.

When used as an androgen and anabolic steroid by bodybuilders and athletes, Trenbolone is often stacked with other compounds. Most importantly is a combined use of Tren with a testosterone ester compound – usually with a short ester like Testosterone Propionate, to help with suppressed testosterone production caused by Tren.

Trenbolone itself is five times as powerful as testosterone and therefore should be used with caution even by intermediate steroid users.

If you’ve heard of the Nandrolone steroid, more commonly called Deca Durabolin, then you’ll know just how powerful it is.

Trenbolone is a derivative of Nandrolone with a slight modification to the chemical structure, which is enough to give Trenbolone different effects on the body.

Trenbolone (Tren) is considered superior to the original nandrolone compound on its own with the main benefits being: Tren has a slower metabolism, attaches to the androgen receptor better, prevents aromatic compounds from forming.

Besides the exceptionally powerful results Tren is capable of delivering, the other huge benefit of this steroid is that it does not aromatize so you don’t get the estrogen conversion that we see with most other androgen and anabolic steroid compounds.

A major advantage of Tren is that it doesn’t cause water retention like so many other steroids do which is one of the big reasons it’s so popular cutting and gaining a super hard and ripped physique without the bloat.

On the downside, similar side effects to other steroids are still possible because Tren is a progestin which, sorry to say, can also make you more prone to gyno. Because people often combine an aromatizing steroid like testosterone with Tren, anti-estrogen treatment is often still undertaken and post cycle therapy (PCT) is still mandatory following a Tren cycle.

Trenbolone Forms: Trenbolone Acetate vs Trenbolone Enanthate vs Parabolan (Tren-Hex)

The three main forms or esters of Trenbolone are Trenbolone Enanthate, Trenbolone Acetate and Trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate (Tren-Hex for short or Parabolan as the brand name). These are all developed as prodrugs, meaning they are an inactive form until they are metabolized in the body, where they then are converted into Trenbolone.

Trenbolone acetate was developed for veterinary use in cattle to improve muscle mass. It has an elimination half life of just two to three days. This is considered to be the most potent of these three Tren esters with the highest percentage of active Trenbolone per 100mg.

Because it is so fast acting, Tren acetate requires more frequent injections in a cycle, with every other day being the most common protocol. Trenbolone acetate is the most commonly used form of Tren by anabolic steroid users.

Trenbolone enanthate has a 7 day half life and this is an ester that was never released to market, but can still be found on the black market today.

Tren enanthate is a slower acting form but brings the same benefits like huge increases in muscle mass, nitrogen retention, boosted protein synthesis and a big gain in endurance.

Parabolan or Tren-hex has a half life of 14 days and is a long acting injectable compound which was discontinued in production in the late 1990s. Besides the longer half life, Parabolan is considered to have the same properties and effects as Trenbolone acetate.

Although some people might be tempted to combine multiple forms of Tren in a cycle, this has no benefit since they are all so chemically similar. Instead, it would result in a dangerously high dosage and magnification of side effects. Stacking Trenbolone with other types of steroids however can be very beneficial for more experienced users.
Trenbolone Acetate (Tren-Ace) Cycle

This is an exceptionally fast acting form of Trenbolone with a rapid half life that quickly gets the compound taken up into the bloodstream. It has a half life of just three days. Although the effects of Tren-Ace are virtually identical to those of Tren-E, Tren Ace is hard to beat.

The benefits of using Trenbolone Acetate include massive boost to mass and strength, extremely fast results and excellent muscle hardening. There are also some Tren Ace side effects such as: loss of libido, gyno due to progestin properties, baldness if pre-disposed to it genetically, acne, raised cholesterol and excess sweating.

Beginners should look at using no more than 200mg weekly in a Tren Ace cycle, with 100mg being most recommended. A cycle length of anywhere between 8 and 16 weeks is possible with good results from Tren-Ace.

More advanced users can boost the dosage up to 500mg per week maximum, as long as preparations and awareness for the associated side effects are made. To counter some of these side effects, combining Tren-Ace with a testosterone steroid is often done.
Trenbolone Enanthate (Tren-E) Cycle

Commonly known as Trenabol, this is a derivative of the nandrolone anabolic-androgenic steroid. Tren Enanthate is a long acting form of Trenbolone. As with all Trenbolone cycles, it’s always recommended to use Trenabol alongside testosterone to make up for the slow down in natural testosterone production.

The main benefits of Trenabol include: significantly boosted protein synthesis, enhanced nitrogen retention to keep the body in an anabolic state, boosted oxygen supply to the muscles, improved IGF-1 function, fast recovery, increased endurance and more. Tren Enanthate is useful for both bulking and cutting

Possible side effects include: low libido and erectile dysfunction if not used with testosterone, high cholesterol, acne, head hair loss, gynecomastia and insomnia.

An 8-16 week cycle is suitable for a Tren enanthate cycle at 100 to 300mg weekly for a beginner to intermediate user. This is still considered a very strong dosage of Tren with powerful effects. Experienced users of Trenabol increase dosage to 500mg per week, either in multiple injections or in the case of highly experienced people, in one single injection.
Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate (Tren-Hex) Cycle

Known under its brand name Parabolan, Tren-Hex is a much more longer acting and slower release form of Trenbolone compared with the acetate variant. Tren-Hex has a much longer half life of 14 days and therefore requires less frequent injections to maintain optimal levels.

Like all forms of Tren, high doses of Tren-Hex aren’t required due to the fact this is such a powerful steroid (five times as powerful as testosterone). Tren Hex is great for bulking, strength and lean mass gains, but also powerful for cutting and fat loss. It does not aromatize into estrogen so no bloating or water retention and can deliver a hard, vascular physique with the right diet.

Possible side effects of using Tren Hex are coughing fits after injecting, insomnia, excessive sweating, mood changes and aggression, acne, hair loss on the head and body hair growth.

Your tolerance levels will determine the best dosage for your needs, as will the inclusion of other compounds in your cycle. First time users should start with a low dose of this very powerful steroid.

A common dosage cycle is between 150mg and 250mg weekly. But more advanced users might take the dosage to over 400mg weekly – this is not recommended for beginners and comes with considerably higher risks of side effects.
Typical Trenbolone Cycles
Tren Cycle For Bulking

A 12 week cycle for bulking can consists of a steady 200mg-400mg trenbolone per week for the whole 12 weeks, depending which other compounds are being used and how powerful they are. A common stack includes the use of a testosterone ester and Winstrol for the last few weeks of a cycle.]]>

When going on a test cycle you get to quickly find out how your body, and your performance and results, change as a result of boosting your testosterone levels to previously unseen ones. And yes, you will also get to find out what, if any, side effects you might be prone to. From there you can tweak and adjust your cycles to get the best results.

Testosterone is the main sex hormone in males which gives you all the characteristics that make you a man. It is mostly produced in the testicles, where it ramps up production beginning at puberty and continuing at full throttle until you’re around 30 years old; although this can vary between individuals.

In addition to being essential sex hormone for life as a man, testosterone is also a natural anabolic steroid that promotes the building of muscle and strength – these are the anabolic properties of testosterone. The androgenic effects of testosterone are what give you a deep voice, facial and body hair, and all the things that differentiate you as a man to women.

Understanding esters in organic chemistry can be difficult for the non-scientist, but you will soon come across several different esters of testosterone in the world of steroids and needless to say, you will want to know what it all means.

In basic terms, an ester is a synthetic derivative of testosterone. Different esters have a shifting around of atoms to form very slightly different compounds to the original organic compound.

Although there might only be one or two atoms different between one ester and another, this can be enough to change properties like how slow or fast a particular ester will be released into the body, and this is often the main difference between different esters and the one that may determine which one you’ll want to be using.

Most testosterone esters are suspended in oils like sesame oil or cottonseed oil. This provides a slower release of testosterone so it is not all used up by the body very quickly. The reason oils are used is because once an ester group has been added to testosterone, it becomes less soluble in water and more soluble in oil.

All the testosterone esters we come across are injectable and the dosage you use will depend on which ester it is and what your goals are for your overall steroid cycle.
Popular Testosterone Esters

There are over 20 known esters of testosterone, but you will only come across a small number of these being available for use.

Most of these synthetic derivatives of testosterone have been developed for medical use to treat conditions like low or no testosterone in men. These compounds are able to provide a massive boost to testosterone levels, which is what makes them so attractive to us in the bodybuilding world.

The main testosterone esters you’ll see consistently talked about by bodybuilders and athletes are:

Cypionate (Depo-Testosterone, Andro Cyp, TC, TCPP, Testosterone Cyclopentylpropionate)
Enanthate (Delatestryl, Xyosted)
Propionate (Testoviron Depot, TP, Testosterone Propanoate, Propionyltestosterone)
Suspension (Sterotate, Andronaq, Aquaspension Testosterone, Virosterone)
Undecanoate (Andriol, Jatenzo – oral versions; Nebido, Aveed – injectables)

Testosterone Cypionate and Enanthate are considered to be very similar and even in the medical field these two esters are often interchangeable.

The main difference between these esters is how slow or fast they’re able to be released into the body after an injections, and how long they elevate your testosterone levels.

Some esters will therefore need to be injected much more regularly than others if you are to maintain a consistent testosterone supply. This is why learning about the different esters, that I’ll cover in more detail below, is important.

The half life of each ester is one of the main differences between them. Cypionate has an approximately 8 day half life, Enanthate and Propionate have a short elimination half life of about 4.5 days. Testosterone Undecanoate has a long half life of over 20 days, and Phenylpropionate has a very short half life of less than three days.
Popular Testosterone Cycles

Testosterone puts the body into a prime anabolic environment, so little wonder it’s a first choice for a beginner’s cycle especially when bulking up is the main goal.
Testosterone Only Cycle

A very simple beginner cycle is to make use of either Testosterone Cypionate or Enanthate for 8 weeks. A simple pyramid style cycle sees you starting low, increasing the dosage in the middle, then decreasing again. For example: 125mg / 250mg / 375mg / 500mg / 500mg / 375mg / 250mg / 125mg (each is per week). PCT should be started 2 weeks after your last injection at 50mg/day Clomid for 3 weeks.
Low Dose Testosterone Cycle

Even a low dose of testosterone can provide a solid boost to performance and gains, and if you’re just starting out you might want to test the waters with the lowest most effective dosage. These so called mild cycles of around 250mg per week still provide benefits, while reducing the impact on side effects.

Going any lower than 250mg is unlikely to provide many benefits since you will only be at testosterone replacement levels by replacing your natural testosterone but not exceeding that level – in other words, a low dose cycle of 250-300mg weekly may provide the best balance between gaining benefits and minimizing side effects.

Another option is to use testosterone in a gel form as a first line treatment during a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

Regardless of what your cycle is, doing post cycle therapy is critical if you not only to maintain your hard earned gains from the cycle, but also get your natural hormone levels back on track once the synthetic testosterone injections have stopped.
Testosterone Cycles for Those with More Experience

A more advanced testosterone cycles will almost always involve stacking it with other types of steroids like Dianabol, as well as combining multiple testosterone esters into the one long cycle; often using one ester for half the cycle and switching to another for the second half of the cycle.
Cutting Testosterone Cycles

When going on a test cycle you get to quickly find out how your body, and your performance and results, change as a result of boosting your testosterone levels to previously unseen ones. And yes, you will also get to find out what, if any, side effects you might be prone to. From there you can tweak and adjust your cycles to get the best results.

Testosterone is the main sex hormone in males which gives you all the characteristics that make you a man. It is mostly produced in the testicles, where it ramps up production beginning at puberty and continuing at full throttle until you’re around 30 years old; although this can vary between individuals.

In addition to being essential sex hormone for life as a man, testosterone is also a natural anabolic steroid that promotes the building of muscle and strength – these are the anabolic properties of testosterone. The androgenic effects of testosterone are what give you a deep voice, facial and body hair, and all the things that differentiate you as a man to women.

Understanding esters in organic chemistry can be difficult for the non-scientist, but you will soon come across several different esters of testosterone in the world of steroids and needless to say, you will want to know what it all means.

In basic terms, an ester is a synthetic derivative of testosterone. Different esters have a shifting around of atoms to form very slightly different compounds to the original organic compound.

Although there might only be one or two atoms different between one ester and another, this can be enough to change properties like how slow or fast a particular ester will be released into the body, and this is often the main difference between different esters and the one that may determine which one you’ll want to be using.

Most testosterone esters are suspended in oils like sesame oil or cottonseed oil. This provides a slower release of testosterone so it is not all used up by the body very quickly. The reason oils are used is because once an ester group has been added to testosterone, it becomes less soluble in water and more soluble in oil.

All the testosterone esters we come across are injectable and the dosage you use will depend on which ester it is and what your goals are for your overall steroid cycle.
Popular Testosterone Esters

There are over 20 known esters of testosterone, but you will only come across a small number of these being available for use.

Most of these synthetic derivatives of testosterone have been developed for medical use to treat conditions like low or no testosterone in men. These compounds are able to provide a massive boost to testosterone levels, which is what makes them so attractive to us in the bodybuilding world.

The main testosterone esters you’ll see consistently talked about by bodybuilders and athletes are:

Cypionate (Depo-Testosterone, Andro Cyp, TC, TCPP, Testosterone Cyclopentylpropionate)
Enanthate (Delatestryl, Xyosted)
Propionate (Testoviron Depot, TP, Testosterone Propanoate, Propionyltestosterone)
Suspension (Sterotate, Andronaq, Aquaspension Testosterone, Virosterone)
Undecanoate (Andriol, Jatenzo – oral versions; Nebido, Aveed – injectables)

Testosterone Cypionate and Enanthate are considered to be very similar and even in the medical field these two esters are often interchangeable.

The main difference between these esters is how slow or fast they’re able to be released into the body after an injections, and how long they elevate your testosterone levels.

Some esters will therefore need to be injected much more regularly than others if you are to maintain a consistent testosterone supply. This is why learning about the different esters, that I’ll cover in more detail below, is important.

Although EQ (or Boldenone) does not give us the sheer power in mass gains that testosterone can provide, it comes with a host of benefits both in terms of performance and a noticeable decrease in side effects compared with testosterone itself.

This can make it an appealing steroid for beginners who are not ready to deal with serious estrogenic side effects, while at the same time advanced users can use Equipoise in combination with other steroids to get very specific results.

Equipoise is an anabolic steroid that is based on the testosterone hormone with only a slight variation to the chemical structure, but one that it makes unique in its own right.

The attached ester, Undecylenate, is a slow release ester that causes Equipoise to continue being released into the body for up to three weeks after an injection. It also takes several days for the maximum blood level to be reached after you inject Boldenone.

EQ is one of the few steroids that is used solely for veterinary purposes. The “equi” portion of the name indicates that this product is intended for use in horses. But like a lot of steroids, the effects of Equipoise are appealing for bodybuilders and it’s not too surprising to know that EQ shares a lot of similarities with testosterone; after all it’s only a slightly modified version of that original hormone.

These similar functions include the enhancement of both protein synthesis and muscle nitrogen retention, as well as increasing red blood cell count. EQ can also increase the output of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and reduce stress hormones.

Equipoise has an anabolic to androgenic ratio of 100:50, compared with testosterone having an even 100:100 ratio.

Most steroid users are familiar with the legendary compound Dianabol which EQ shares a virtually identical chemical structure with, but a slight modification allows each one to have a very different effect on the body. This makes it possible to use these very similar yet completely different acting steroids together in a cycle with great benefit.

Equipoise Benefits (Equipoise Effects)

We can almost think of EQ as being a milder version of testosterone. It is based on testosterone after all, but has reduced anabolic effects. This still makes it a very useful steroid to include in a stack, and a steroid that is more versatile than standard testosterone because it’s not just all about massive muscle and strength gains.

Here are the main benefits and effects you can expect to see when using Equipoise:
Moderate Mass Gains

While not a very powerful muscle gainer compared to other steroids like testosterone itself, EQ can still help bring about some gains and they will be cleaner gains than you might get with other steroids because of the reduced estrogenic action of boldenone which results in less water retention. The gains made with EQ will be slower and steadier than those of other steroids so it can make a good addition to a bulking stack where it’s not being used as the primary mass gaining compound.
Preserving Lean Muscle

Possibly the most valued aspect of EQ is its ability to help retain lean tissue while you’re in a cutting cycle. Additionally Equipoise can contribute to improving body conditioning while cutting and this is enhanced when you use this steroid with other steroids that do not aromatize, with compounds like Masteron being a particularly effective cutting combination with Equipoise.
Appetite Increase

A possible effect of EQ is a rise in appetite but this is known to be an effect that is experienced differently between individuals. Some people will notice a certain increase in appetite while others won’t see any changes. This can make it useful for those using it in a mass gaining cycle, such as during off season bulking. If using Equipoise for cutting, an appetite increase could be seen as a downside as you attempt to stick to a calorie restricted diet during this time.
Strength and Endurance Gains

Although once again not the most powerful strength boosting steroid available, EQ can still give you some moderate and welcome increases in strength which makes it appealing for a wide range of athletes. Endurance is also improved which is going to help anyone during any workouts for any goal. Expect improved recovery times when using EQ. All in all, while these performance benefits might not be overly noticeable when Equipoise is combined with much more potent steroids, they still contribute to the overall effects of any steroid cycle you’re running.
Equipoise Dosage

Equipoise is a steroid that does not benefit from taking very doses, so users of any experience level will want to maintain a similar dose keeping mind that the higher the dose the more likely estrogenic effects are going to be. Moderate doses of EQ provide very manageable estrogen related activity with effective male doses considered to be within the 200mg to 600mg range.
Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced EQ Dosage

While beginners can start at a low dose of just 200mg weekly, to really get the benefits from EQ you will likely want to administer no less than 400mg per week even as a beginner user to this steroid. Side effects directly caused by EQ and not by other steroids in the cycle will be easy to control at this dosage while providing the positive benefits.

More advanced users can easily raise the dose to 600mg weekly, but with this comes a greater risk of estrogenic effects. While higher doses can be an option it also comes with much greater aromatization activity with little to no positive benefit. Therefore, regardless of experience level the optimal weekly dose of Equipoise is between 400mg and 600mg.
Proper EQ Administration and Timing

Because it’s such a long and slow acting steroid, it needs to be used for a suitable length of time to make the most of it and the minimum viable length to include EQ in a cycle is 8 weeks. Depending on your goals, up to 12 weeks of Equipoise is considered safe and effective.

Thanks to its long lasting properties, EQ works fine when injected just once per week but despite this, some people will still want to split the dose if for no other reason than to reduce the volume being injected each time. If injecting twice weekly, the injections should be evenly spaced so your blood levels remain consistent throughout the cycle.
Female EQ Dosage

Females can use Equipoise with good results and less severe side effects than many other steroids, in part because of the lower androgenic effects of EQ. But this is only the case at lower doses and like all steroids, once the dosage is increased the side effects can start becoming severe.

A female dose of 50mg weekly is considered both management and effective for most women taking steroids with a low risk of virilization. While some women might venture higher than this, it should never be raised without determining how you as an individual cope with Equipoise as the side effects can be highly individualistic.

A maximum cycle length of 6 weeks is optimal for females, striking a balance between the benefits and minimizing or preventing side effects which are more likely to develop with long term usage.
Typical Equipoise Cycles

EQ is a steroid that does not have just one way to use it in a cycle. Being a versatile steroid in its properties and effects, it’s also versatile in how you can include it in a cycle.

It can be used for a number of goals, but one of the most common is to use Boldenone in a cutting cycle and in these cases it’s best used at the beginning of a cycle, where other steroids – particularly those that don’t aromatize at all – are then continued for a longer period. Masteron or Trenbolone are popular stacking options when using EQ for cutting. Below are some example cycles that cover different levels of experience with steroids.
Beginner Equipoise Cycle

Most beginners will only look at including testosterone in a stack with EQ, to combat the suppressive nature of Boldenone. But the testosterone will also serve to deliver some mass gains, as long as the beginner is able to adequately control estrogenic side effects which will occur at this dosage.

The slow acting effect of EQ will require this cycle to be run for a longer period than many other beginner cycles, with at least 12 weeks being suitable, but a 14 week cycle can also be considered. Using Testosterone Enanthate at 300mg to 500mg per week and Equipoise at 400mg weekly will provide excellent results for either lean mass gains or cutting, provided the diet and workout regime is suitable.

This cycle delivers an excellent and safe introduction to anabolic steroids for any beginner user.]]>

NPP was originally developed to treat osteoporosis and breast cancer in women but thanks to its powerful anabolic effects and relatively weaker androgenic effects compared with many other steroids, it is a popular choice for bodybuilders and performance athletes who wish to avoid dealing with more severe estrogenic and other side effects.

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, known as NPP for short, is a form of Nandrolone with the phenylpropionate ester attached. Another well known form of this steroid compound is Nandrolone Decanoate, also known as Deca-Durabolin. While NPP also used to be called Durabolin in the past, these days that name is avoided to prevent confusion between the two forms.

The Nandrolone hormone compound is exactly the same in both forms, it is simply the ester which gives each a slightly different property in the body; especially when it comes to half life and how fast it works, and how long it stays active in the bloodstream. This in turn dictates how often you’ll need to take your dosages.

NPP has a shorter half life and so requires more frequent injections to keep your levels stable compared with Nandrolone Decanoate.

NPP Benefits (NPP Effects)

Nandrolone is well known for its many positive benefits and effects when used for performance enhancement purposes. You’ll also find that this compound comes with some excellent therapeutic effects as well, making NPP a quality all round steroid that will suit a range of users and goals.

Here are the main benefits and effects that you can expect with NPP:

Mass building – NPP is an excellent mass builder and many guys will include this steroid in every bulking cycle. Putting on quality muscle at a steady pace is a highly desirable benefit of NPP. This is not a compound that works super fast to help you gain mass quickly, but if you’re after both high quality and high quantity muscle gains, then NPP delivers.
Recovery – NPP has excellent therapeutic benefits for the joints in particular, and this is going to provide a significant boost to your recovery process. Expect to recover faster and be able to hit the gym for your next workout sooner, with greatly reduced muscle and joint soreness.
Lean muscle preservation – NPP has superb metabolic properties and this will make it more efficient for you to maintain lean gains during the off season. Additionally, if used in a cutting cycle then NPP helps conserve your muscle mass while you work on losing fat. Again, this is thanks to the high metabolic properties of Nandrolone. While NPP is not commonly used as a cutting steroid as often as it’s used for bulking, it can provide a highly beneficial role in a cutting cycle for any user who understands its functions and benefits.
Strength – Some users may see some increase in strength, however NPP is not particularly known for its ability to significantly boost strength to a noticeable level. When stacking with NPP with other steroids, it is likely to be other compounds that take care of your strength boost as this is not an area that Nandrolone excels in.

Nandrolone can be used for bulking or mass building, cutting, as well as for general athletic purposes. This makes it a highly diverse steroid that is often stacked with other compounds where it can contribute to more specific goals.
NPP Dosage and Cycle Length

Your dosage of NPP will depend on whether you’re using it mainly for therapeutic purposes, or for performance enhancement. When using this steroid to gain benefit from its therapeutic effects only, males can dose at 100mg to 200mg weekly and see substantial benefit including greatly improved recovery and joint relief.

For guys using NPP for bodybuilding a dosage of up to 400mg weekly is ideal. This strikes the right balance between reaping the benefits while keeping the side effect risk to a minimum. Those who are less concerned about side effects might consider increasing the dosage a little beyond 400mg but for most male users this will be the sweet spot that will deliver excellent results.

NPP is not an extremely fast acting steroid so cycle length should provide enough time to really see the benefits that this highly effect compound can deliver. Up to 12 weeks is recommended. The frequency of injections should be three per week, where the weekly dose is split evenly between injections. A three weekly injection routine ensures that blood levels of this steroid are evenly maintained throughout the cycle.

Females can make use of NPP but must be aware of the risks of virilization, and for that reason the female dosage should not exceed 50mg weekly for no longer than a 6 week cycle.
NPP vs Deca-Durabolin

The well known and very popular steroid Deca-Durabolin is also a Nandrolone steroid. It is the same as the Nandrolone steroid in NPP, but simply makes use of a different ester. While the ester used in NPP is Phenylpropionate, Deca-Durabolin is the brand name of Nandrolone decanoate. An ester attaches to the Nandrolone hormone and controls the way the hormone is released in the body once it has been injected.

By understanding different esters and how they work, it’s possible to create a steroid stack that contains compounds that use the same or similar esters, and this can make it easier to plan your post cycle therapy afterwards. At other times, you might want to combine short and long esters for different purposes. With Nandrolone available in these two ester types, you have the option to pick the one that best suits your plans and goals.

The hormone itself does not change once the ester detaches. NPP itself used to be known by the brand name Durabolin, giving us another indication of just how similar these two products are.

So what are the real world differences between NPP and Deca-Durabolin and which is the better choice for your goals?

With both compounds you get all the same benefits of Nandrolone which means excellent joint relief and therapeutic effects, improved recovery, excellent steady mass gains, greatly increased anabolic function and a lower level of androgenic effects compared with other steroid hormones.

The half life of NPP and Deca-Durabolin differ remarkably and that is the main difference to consider between the two. Nandrolone Decanoate has a very long half life of 6 to 8 days. This means it takes a day or two to even start circulating in the body enough to get its effects, and it will remain in the bloodstream for well over a week.

This shorter ester of Nandrolone requires much less frequent injections but also requires a longer cycle because of how long it takes for the effects to become active and beneficial. A Nandrolone Decanoate will normally be run for up to 16 weeks to gain maximum benefits of this slow acting form of Nandrolone.

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate has a much shorter elimination half life of about 3 days, so you’ll need to inject this compound much more often to maintain optimal blood levels. It is usually injected three times per week.

Both types of Nandrolone contain exactly the same active hormone, but if you’re after a faster acting form then NPP is the best choice. If you plan to do a longer cycle and want to inject Nandrolone less often, Nandrolone decanoate may be the best choice for you.]]>

The Nandrolone hormone compound is exactly the same in both forms, it is simply the ester which gives each a slightly different property in the body; especially when it comes to half life and how fast it works, and how long it stays active in the bloodstream. This in turn dictates how often you’ll need to take your dosages.

NPP has a shorter half life and so requires more frequent injections to keep your levels stable compared with Nandrolone Decanoate.

NPP Benefits (NPP Effects)

Nandrolone is well known for its many positive benefits and effects when used for performance enhancement purposes. You’ll also find that this compound comes with some excellent therapeutic effects as well, making NPP a quality all round steroid that will suit a range of users and goals.

Here are the main benefits and effects that you can expect with NPP:

Mass building – NPP is an excellent mass builder and many guys will include this steroid in every bulking cycle. Putting on quality muscle at a steady pace is a highly desirable benefit of NPP. This is not a compound that works super fast to help you gain mass quickly, but if you’re after both high quality and high quantity muscle gains, then NPP delivers.
Recovery – NPP has excellent therapeutic benefits for the joints in particular, and this is going to provide a significant boost to your recovery process. Expect to recover faster and be able to hit the gym for your next workout sooner, with greatly reduced muscle and joint soreness.
Lean muscle preservation – NPP has superb metabolic properties and this will make it more efficient for you to maintain lean gains during the off season. Additionally, if used in a cutting cycle then NPP helps conserve your muscle mass while you work on losing fat. Again, this is thanks to the high metabolic properties of Nandrolone. While NPP is not commonly used as a cutting steroid as often as it’s used for bulking, it can provide a highly beneficial role in a cutting cycle for any user who understands its functions and benefits.
Strength – Some users may see some increase in strength, however NPP is not particularly known for its ability to significantly boost strength to a noticeable level. When stacking with NPP with other steroids, it is likely to be other compounds that take care of your strength boost as this is not an area that Nandrolone excels in.

Nandrolone can be used for bulking or mass building, cutting, as well as for general athletic purposes. This makes it a highly diverse steroid that is often stacked with other compounds where it can contribute to more specific goals.
NPP Dosage and Cycle Length

Your dosage of NPP will depend on whether you’re using it mainly for therapeutic purposes, or for performance enhancement. When using this steroid to gain benefit from its therapeutic effects only, males can dose at 100mg to 200mg weekly and see substantial benefit including greatly improved recovery and joint relief.

For guys using NPP for bodybuilding a dosage of up to 400mg weekly is ideal. This strikes the right balance between reaping the benefits while keeping the side effect risk to a minimum. Those who are less concerned about side effects might consider increasing the dosage a little beyond 400mg but for most male users this will be the sweet spot that will deliver excellent results.

NPP is not an extremely fast acting steroid so cycle length should provide enough time to really see the benefits that this highly effect compound can deliver. Up to 12 weeks is recommended. The frequency of injections should be three per week, where the weekly dose is split evenly between injections. A three weekly injection routine ensures that blood levels of this steroid are evenly maintained throughout the cycle.

Females can make use of NPP but must be aware of the risks of virilization, and for that reason the female dosage should not exceed 50mg weekly for no longer than a 6 week cycle.
NPP vs Deca-Durabolin

The well known and very popular steroid Deca-Durabolin is also a Nandrolone steroid. It is the same as the Nandrolone steroid in NPP, but simply makes use of a different ester. While the ester used in NPP is Phenylpropionate, Deca-Durabolin is the brand name of Nandrolone decanoate. An ester attaches to the Nandrolone hormone and controls the way the hormone is released in the body once it has been injected.

By understanding different esters and how they work, it’s possible to create a steroid stack that contains compounds that use the same or similar esters, and this can make it easier to plan your post cycle therapy afterwards. At other times, you might want to combine short and long esters for different purposes. With Nandrolone available in these two ester types, you have the option to pick the one that best suits your plans and goals.

The hormone itself does not change once the ester detaches. NPP itself used to be known by the brand name Durabolin, giving us another indication of just how similar these two products are.

So what are the real world differences between NPP and Deca-Durabolin and which is the better choice for your goals?

With both compounds you get all the same benefits of Nandrolone which means excellent joint relief and therapeutic effects, improved recovery, excellent steady mass gains, greatly increased anabolic function and a lower level of androgenic effects compared with other steroid hormones.

The half life of NPP and Deca-Durabolin differ remarkably and that is the main difference to consider between the two. Nandrolone Decanoate has a very long half life of 6 to 8 days. This means it takes a day or two to even start circulating in the body enough to get its effects, and it will remain in the bloodstream for well over a week.

This shorter ester of Nandrolone requires much less frequent injections but also requires a longer cycle because of how long it takes for the effects to become active and beneficial. A Nandrolone Decanoate will normally be run for up to 16 weeks to gain maximum benefits of this slow acting form of Nandrolone.

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate has a much shorter elimination half life of about 3 days, so you’ll need to inject this compound much more often to maintain optimal blood levels. It is usually injected three times per week.

Both types of Nandrolone contain exactly the same active hormone, but if you’re after a faster acting form then NPP is the best choice. If you plan to do a longer cycle and want to inject Nandrolone less often, Nandrolone decanoate may be the best choice for you.]]> https://hypermuscles.com/showthread.php?tid=9316 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 04:47:55 +0000 Cornish_Celt]]> https://hypermuscles.com/showthread.php?tid=9316
The 250 portion of the name comes from the ratio of the combined four esters that are blended to make up 250mg of testosterone, including some esters that are available as single ester products and others that are only available in Sustanon itself.

There are many reasons for the popularity of Sustanon:

4 esters in one
Provides a combination of fast and slow acting esters
Gives a fast release of testosterone within first 24-48 hours
Useful for bulking and strength cycles, as well as cutting

The goal of Sustanon through the use of these four esters is to provide the dual benefit of having a very quick release of the hormone so peak levels are obtained and then these levels are maintained through the ongoing release of testosterone with the varying esters.

This means your testosterone levels don’t dip or start leveling off quickly like they can when using something like testosterone propionate on its own, which would require much more frequent injections.

Sustanon 250 is the brand name of this injectable form of testosterone steroid. It has a medical use of treating men who have low levels of natural testosterone by acting as a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

There are 4 testosterone esters in Sustanon 250. An ester is an extra chemical addition added to the regular testosterone hormone which is then released in the body after injection. The timing and rate of release of each ester is what makes the four of these different: the testosterone itself is exactly the same on each ester.

This makes Sustanon 250 purely a testosterone compound and one what has had no alterations at all to the original testosterone hormone. Testosterone, as the natural male sex hormone, has an anabolic rating of 100 and an androgenic rating of 100 – Sustanon 250 is pure testosterone. Other types of steroids skew these ratings one way or the other based on making modifications to testosterone or similar hormones.

So while Sustanon 250 as pure testosterone comes with many substantial benefits, it also comes with some potentially serious side effects which we need to be aware of, and learn how to combat them during a testosterone cycle as well as developing a post cycle therapy plan to recover afterwards.

Testosterone esters used in Sustanon 250
Testosterone Propionate (30mg)

Test Prop is a fast acting ester with a short half life of around two or three days. This ester gets Sustanon working quickly to raise blood testosterone levels after administering your injection.

It ensures that Sustanon is able to get your testosterone levels raised within just 24 to 48 hours of your injection, providing the initial boost at the start while the other esters in Sustanon take their time to release over the next two to three weeks.

Testosterone Propionate injections when taken alone would need to be administered everyday, so by making use of this ester in Sustanon you get the full benefit of Testosterone Propionate’s quick acting effects without having to worry about daily injections.
Testosterone Phenylpropionate (60mg)

Test Phenylpropionate a relatively fast acting ester but one that can take anywhere from one to three weeks to fully release into the body ensuring it helps maintain a steady supply of testosterone as part of the Sustanon formula.
Testosterone Isocaproate (60mg)

Testosterone Isocaproate is also medium acting ester with a half life of about 4 days. This is an ester that is not available as an individual product but only consumed in formulas like Sustanon and other mixed testosterone ester preparations.
Testosterone Decanoate (100mg)

Test Decanoate is a slow acting and long lasting ester that keeps the effects of Sustanon active long after the injection. It has a long half life of over 20 days.

Just like Isocaproate, Testosterone Decanoate is generally not found as a single testosterone ester and instead only included in mixed ester solutions like Sustanon, making this one of the very few ways you can take advantage of the long lasting benefits of the Testosterone Decanoate ester.
Sustanon 250 Benefits

After injecting Sustanon 250, total plasma testosterone levels will start to increase and you will reach the peak level of total testosterone at anywhere between the 24 to 48 hour mark after the injection. The main benefits of Sustanon are:
Boosts Protein Synthesis

Boosts protein synthesis resulting in a faster protein building process in the cells and as the building blocks of muscle, this means muscle repairs and grows faster.
Boosts Nitrogen Retention

Nitrogen retention is boosted by Sustanon. The muscle tissue contains a large amount of nitrogen and some of this is lost during intensive exercise.

By retaining as much nitrogen in the muscle tissue as possible, the body can remain in a more anabolic state for muscle growth while minimizing or removing the risk of muscle loss.

Nitrogen is also a critical component of amino acids which are what build protein. When more nitrogen is inputted or retained in the body compared the amount of nitrogen lost, the total available protein also increases.
Increases the Production and Release of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1)

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) is important for the functioning of all cells. It facilitates protein synthesis and regulates the storage of fat so it can be efficiently used for energy production. IGF-1 positively impacts metabolism and helps with the increase of lean body mass and the loss of body fat.

IGF-1 is also important for bone health, nerve tissue regeneration and ligament strength. We can see how powerful IGF-1 alone is, but this is just one small aspect of the benefits that Sustanon 250 can provide as a pure source of testosterone.
Improves Athletic Performance

Performance enhancement is another reason people choose to use Sustanon. Improving athletic performance is to be expected when your testosterone levels are increased and optimized. This results in much better muscle endurance, taking your workouts to a new level. Noticeable improvements in recovery can also be expected as the full effects of testosterone kick in.

Sustanon 250 has great benefits for both bulking and cutting goals. This is no surprise when we consider the powerful anabolic effects which are vital for both gaining muscle and for losing fat without the loss of muscle tissue. This gives Sustanon a place in both a bulking cycle and as part of a cutting cycle alongside other fat burning compounds.
Bulking Benefits

While not the most anabolic steroid out there with some others having a much higher anabolic rating, Sustanon can still be used in a steroid cycle where gaining strength and mass is the goal. When using Sustanon as the main bulking agent you can still expect to see quality gains and without the gaining of fat thanks to the way testosterone enhances the metabolic system to more efficiently burn fat.
Cutting Benefits

Using a form of testosterone during a cutting cycle is a popular strategy for anyone aiming to trim down and get ripped with the use of powerful fat loss steroids and one of the most important reasons is because of how Sustanon helps retain lean muscle tissue while you’re shredding fat.

Cutting requires a calorie restricted diet and intense cardiovascular activity which can easily result in a loss of muscle if the body falls into a catabolic state. Sustanon ensures you remain anabolic while cutting so not only do you improve body tone but also burn fat faster by retaining that muscle tissue.

Often Testosterone Propionate will be injected every day of a cycle. On the upside, if you need a quick decrease in testosterone concentration for testing purposes or because you’re experiencing adverse effects, this ester only takes a short time to leave the body once you stop injecting.

Testosterone Prop is a testosterone hormone with the propionic acid attached to it. When injected, the ester slowly detaches in a controlled release time and this is when the testosterone becomes active. This means that at its core, Testosterone Propionate is simply pure testosterone and therefore comes with the anabolic and androgenic rating of 100 and 100.

The benefits and effects of Testosterone Propionate are the same as you’ll get with all forms of testosterone, with the choice of ester mainly coming down to availability and your desired half life and how often you’re comfortable administering injections.

This in turn relates to how stable you can maintain your blood levels of the steroid, and Testosterone Prop comes with some advantage in this regard because the more frequent injections you’ll be using (because of this ester’s short half life) ensure that your blood levels are maintained to the most optimal level.

Thanks to its excellent anabolic activity, Testosterone Propionate comes with numerous benefits that boost both performance and results. These include the most important areas of anabolic processes in the body:

Enhances protein synthesis – This gives you a massive improvement in recovery and the growth of muscle tissue, since this process is how proteins are built by cells. The more efficient protein synthesis is, the faster your muscles recover from intense workouts and the quicker the muscle is repaired and grown.

Improves nitrogen retention – This is a critical process to keeping your body in the best anabolic state possible. When nitrogen becomes imbalanced, the body can fall into a catabolic state where you start losing muscle; this is to be avoided at all costs and the retaining of nitrogen ensures that your nitrogen output is lower than your intake of nitrogen – this is the prime state to be in for muscle growth. The better that nitrogen is balanced, the quicker the muscles recover the and faster they grow.

Increases red blood cells – More oxygen and nutrients getting to the muscles with greater blood flow equals increased muscle endurance so you can workout harder and for longer. Recovery is also enhanced with a greater red blood cell count.

Boosts insulin growth hormone (IGF-1) – This anabolic hormone is vital for many aspects of your bodybuilding goals: it’s involved in mass gain, endurance, fat burning and also boosts protein synthesis which in turn directly contributes to recovery through the repair of muscle tissue.

Reduces stress hormones – In particular testosterone inhibits glucocorticoids. While these are important hormones in some ways such as for fighting inflammation, they can also promote wasting of the muscles and fat gain.

Other benefits of this testosterone ester are:

It delivers fast results and is quick to leave the body compared with other esters
Useful for cutting cycles and muscle gains
More ideal for beginners and females compared to more slower release esters

Testosterone helps to stop glucocorticoid hormones from dominating so the body can retain a higher anabolic environment rather than a more catabolic one which can occur when glucocorticoids become too dominant. This is one of the most important yet little known or understood aspects of using testosterone steroids.

Beginner Testosterone Propionate Cycle

A beginner user taking this ester alone in an 8 week cycle at 100mg every 2 days is a recommended cycle. A maximum beginner cycle of 500mg weekly for a 10 week cycle provides a good introduction for the new steroid user with a balance between results and side effects.
Intermediate Testosterone Propionate Cycle

A 10 week cycle is also suitable for intermediate users but commonly at this level Testosterone Propionate will be stacked with other compounds like Deca-Durabolin and Dianabol.

500mg weekly of Testosterone Propionate, with Dianabol at 25mg daily for 10 weeks and Deca for the first four weeks only at 400mg weekly is an effective intermediate cycle.
10-week Test Prop/Trenbolone Cycle

This intermediate cycle would consist of Trenbolone Acetate and Testosterone Propionate. You will inject three times a week for 10 weeks:

Weeks 1-10 – 300mg/week Test Propionate injected 100mg/eod (Mon/Wed/Fri)
Week 1-10 – 300mg/week Trenbolone injected 100mg/eod (Mon/Wed/Fri)

*eod – every other day

For this cycle you can load both compounds in the same syringe, it’s fine. Throughout the cycle use 0.5mg/eod Arimidex. PCT should be started three days after your last injection. Use 100mg/day Clomid for the first 10 days and continue with 50mg/day Clomid for another 10 days. Nolvadex can also be used at 40/40/20/20.
Advanced Testosterone Propionate Cycle

Advanced users are more likely to use Testosterone Propionate as a hormone support compound to replace the suppression of natural testosterone while using more powerful steroids. This cycle makes use of the very powerful Tren Acetate as the primary anabolic compound at 400mg weekly and Testosterone Propionate for testosterone replacement at 100mg weekly.
10-week Test Prop/Tren/Winstrol Cycle

This advanced cutting cycle would consist of Test Prop, Tren and oil-based Winstrol (Winstrol Depot). You’ll need a 3x10ml (100mg/ml) bottles of Test Propionate, 3x10ml (100mg/ml) bottles of Tren, 6x10ml (50mg/ml) bottles of Winstrol Depot, 30x50mg Clomid tabs and 70×0.5mg Arimidex tabs. You will inject three times a week for 10 weeks:

Weeks 1-10 – 300mg/week Test Propionate injected 100mg/eod (Mon/Wed/Fri)
Weeks 1-10 – 300mg/week Trenbolone injected 100mg/eod (Mon/Wed/Fri)
Weeks 1-10 – 300mg/week Winstrol Depot injected 100mg/eod (Mon/Wed/Fri)
(PCT) Week 11-13 – Clomid at 100mg/day first 10 days, then 50mg/day for 10 more days (or Nolvadex at 40/40/20/20)

You can load all the compounds in the same syringe. Throughout the cycle use 0.5mg/ed Arimidex to combat estrogen related side effects (gynecomastia).
Testosterone Propionate Dosage
Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Testosterone Propionate Dosage

Taking 50mg to 100mg everyday or every two days is a common dosing strategy for testosterone propionate.

Intermediate and advanced users may look at using testosterone propionate for more than 8 weeks and up to 12 weeks, with daily injections of 50mg to 100mg while stacking this ester with other anabolic steroids, or 100-200mg if using this ester on a testosterone only cycle.

Side Effects from a Testosterone Propionate Cycle

The potential side effects of testosterone propionate are the same as any other form of testosterone. Using the steroid at very low doses is unlikely to cause side effects, particularly when the purpose is to achieve a dose that’s at replacement level for low testosterone.

When higher doses are used you do run the risk of some side effects and most of these are related to estrogenic activity. When estrogen levels rise too much because of aromatization, there’s the risk of water retention and gynecomastia.

When water retention is not addressed, this can lead to high blood pressure. Nausea and fever are other possible adverse reactions some people experience

Due to testosterone’s natural function as an androgenic hormone, you may also see some side effects of this nature such as acne and hair loss; but only those who are predisposed to these conditions are at risk, especially when it comes to hair loss.

Suppression of your natural testosterone production is an inevitable side effect of using testosterone propionate and for this reason a suitable post cycle therapy plan is required.]]>

Advanced users are more likely to use Testosterone Propionate as a hormone support compound to replace the suppression of natural testosterone while using more powerful steroids. This cycle makes use of the very powerful Tren Acetate as the primary anabolic compound at 400mg weekly and Testosterone Propionate for testosterone replacement at 100mg weekly.

Weeks 1-10 – 300mg/week Test Propionate injected 100mg/eod (Mon/Wed/Fri)
Weeks 1-10 – 300mg/week Trenbolone injected 100mg/eod (Mon/Wed/Fri)
Weeks 1-10 – 300mg/week Winstrol Depot injected 100mg/eod (Mon/Wed/Fri)

You can load all the compounds in the same syringe. Throughout the cycle use 0.5mg/ed Arimidex to combat estrogen related side effects (gynecomastia).
Testosterone Propionate Dosage
Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Testosterone Propionate Dosage

Taking 50mg to 100mg everyday or every two days is a common dosing strategy for testosterone propionate.

Intermediate and advanced users may look at using testosterone propionate for more than 8 weeks and up to 12 weeks, with daily injections of 50mg to 100mg while stacking this ester with other anabolic steroids, or 100-200mg if using this ester on a testosterone only cycle.

Side Effects from a Testosterone Propionate Cycle

The potential side effects of testosterone propionate are the same as any other form of testosterone. Using the steroid at very low doses is unlikely to cause side effects, particularly when the purpose is to achieve a dose that’s at replacement level for low testosterone.

When higher doses are used you do run the risk of some side effects and most of these are related to estrogenic activity. When estrogen levels rise too much because of aromatization, there’s the risk of water retention and gynecomastia.

When water retention is not addressed, this can lead to high blood pressure. Nausea and fever are other possible adverse reactions some people experience

Due to testosterone’s natural function as an androgenic hormone, you may also see some side effects of this nature such as acne and hair loss; but only those who are predisposed to these conditions are at risk, especially when it comes to hair loss.

Suppression of your natural testosterone production is an inevitable side effect of using testosterone propionate and for this reason a suitable post cycle therapy plan is required.]]> https://hypermuscles.com/showthread.php?tid=9314 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 04:31:21 +0000 Cornish_Celt]]> https://hypermuscles.com/showthread.php?tid=9314
When used for physique- or performance-enhancing purposes by men, this drug is usually injected three times per week. The total weekly dosage is typically 200-400 mg, which is taken for six to 12 weeks. This level of use is sufficient to provide measurable gains in lean muscle mass and strength. Masteron is most commonly applied when lean mass or cutting is desired. For the latter, it is often combined with other non-aromatizable steroids such as Winstrol, Primobolan, Parabolan or Anavar. Such stacks are known to greatly aid muscle retention and fat loss, during a period that can be very catabolic without steroids.

When used for physique- or performance-enhancing purposes by women, a dosage of 50 mg per week is most common, taken for four to six weeks. Virilization symptoms are rare at this dosage, provided the duration of intake is not extended for too long. Note that due to the short-acting nature of the propionate ester, the total weekly dosage is usually subdivided into smaller injections given once every second or third day.

Side Effects
Estrogenic: Drostanolone is not aromatized by the body, and is not measurably estrogenic. An anti-estrogen is not necessary when using this steroid, as gynecomastia should not be a concern even among sensitive individuals. Since estrogen is the usual culprit with water retention, drostanolone instead produces a lean, quality look to the physique with no fear of excess subcutaneous fluid retention. This makes it a favorable steroid to use during cutting cycles, when water and fat retention are major concerns. As a non-aromatizable DHT derivative, drostanolone may impart an anti-estrogenic effect, the drug competing with other (aromatizable) substrates for binding to the aromatase enzyme.

Androgenic: Although classified as an anabolic steroid, androgenic side effects are still possible with this substance, especially with higher than normal therapeutic doses. This may include bouts of oily skin, acne and body/facial hair growth. Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) may also aggravate male pattern hair loss. Women are warned of the potential virilizing effects of AAS. These may include a deepening of the voice, menstrual irregularities, changes in skin texture, facial hair growth and clitoral enlargement.

Drostanolone is a steroid with relatively low androgenic activity relative to its tissue-building actions, making the threshold for strong androgenic side effects comparably higher than with more androgenic agents such as testosterone, methandrostenolone or fluoxymesterone. Note that drostanolone is unaffected by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, so its relative androgenicity is not affected by the concurrent use of finasteride or dutasteride.

Liver Toxicity: Masteron is not c17-alpha alkylated, and not known to have hepatotoxic properties. Liver toxicity is unlikely.

Cardiovascular: Anabolic-androgenic steroids can have deleterious effects on serum cholesterol. This includes a tendency to reduce HDL (good) cholesterol values and increase LDL (bad) cholesterol values, which may shift the HDL to LDL balance in a direction that favors greater risk of arteriosclerosis. The relative impact of an anabolic-androgenic steroid on serum lipids is dependant on the dose, route of administration (oral versus injectable), type of steroid (aromatizable or non-aromatizable) and level of resistance to hepatic metabolism. Drostanolone should have a stronger negative effect on the hepatic management of cholesterol than testosterone or nandrolone due to its non-aromatizable nature, but a weaker impact than c-17 alpha alkylated steroids. Anabolic-androgenic steroids may also adversely affect blood pressure and triglycerides, reduce endothelial relaxation and support left ventricular hypertrophy, all potentially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and myocardial infarction.

Testosterone Suppression: All AAS, when taken in doses sufficient to promote muscle gain, are expected to suppress endogenous testosterone production. Without the intervention of testosterone-stimulating substances, testosterone levels should return to normal within one to four months of drug cessation. Note that prolonged hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism can develop secondary to steroid abuse, necessitating medical intervention.]]>
