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 athlets. 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 bodybuilding
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 others
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 testosterones
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. Testosterone proprionate has a duration of effect of 1 to
2 days. Propionate is only a quickly effective testosterone that must
be injected more often. Based on the highly androgenic effect, propionate
as well as enanthate and cypionate is very appropriate for the build
up of strength and muscle mass. 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 experience
an increase of his training energy, a better pump, an increased appetite,
and a slight strength gain. As an initial dose most athletes prefer
a 50-100 mg injection. Those who cannot wait until the depot steroids
become effective inject 250mg 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 propionate 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 Androlic 50 over the
six-week treatment have gained several pounds and would now like to
switch to testosterone. Since Androlic 50 begin its "breakdown"
shortly after use of the compound is discontinued, a fast and elevated
testosterone level is desirable.
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 propionate only every 5-7
days and obtain remarkable results with it. The androgenic effect included
in the propionate allows better regeneration 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 testosteron or the possible side effects should
go ahead and give propionate a try. The side effects 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 quantites (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 frequently. 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, 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 retention 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 testicular
axis, suppressing the endogenous hormone production. The toxic influence
on the liver is minimal so that a liver damage is unlikely. What athletes
dislike most about propionate are the frequent injections that are necessary.
