+ 11 test prop and counting its value

ad

Ok let's do this thing! I have had this conversation 1000 times and again just now in PM. I have so many people tell me "I'm running 700 mg's of test a week because I'm hitting 100 mg's a day of prop". Or.."I'm running a gram plus a week of test since I'm hitting 150 ed split suspension". My reply is "No , you're not".
So let me ask, do you count the steak you ate Monday on your Friday caloric intake? Of course not, so why would you count prop you hit on Monday in Fridays test total for the week? Hell if we're counting test that we know is gone let's just count the whole fing yr's test in this weeks, right?
Give me your argument on this, either I don't get it or I can't explain it well enough to make others understand ( some do get it btw but others don't or I don't). Here's my argument, test prop falls off a cliff in free test blood plasma levels in 48 hrs. So let's go from half life to life and give it 72 hrs to be nice to it. So if I'm hitting 100 mg's ed the very most I can combine count the way we do long ester that is growing every damn week is 300. That's it that's max that's the most test you will have in your system impacting plasma levels in test ever at any one time....PERIOD.
Again, I'm not counting Mondays frito pie in Fridays cals because it is gone, its not even in my house anymore unless I forgot to flush and its sure as hell not in my body!
If you hit 700 mg's of test E split weekly the ester does not drop as quick as the pins go in your ass so you are actually growing the test count weekly having a higher impact on your free test blood plasma levels until the drop reaches the increase and then you maintain an average much higher than the max of 300 you might have in the 100 ed scenario with prop.
What say you? Agree/disagree/different perspective

Very interesting post in regards Test Prop vs. Enanthate and total buildup for the week, different way of looking at it all. Time for a change I think.

Then why if I took 300mg of test a week and 700mg test a week my test levels be higher than the other. But yet you can only have 300mg of test in your system at one time! I don't belive this at all!

I dont think that is how he meant it.
He's saying that the short ester test you injected on monday is gone by friday.
I still think test is test, and 700mg is 700mg, and with prop it may be gone fastn but withe Test E or C it wont be released completely for a while.

Do you count next weeks steak on this weeks kcals?

We need another guru to step in for tread

Can we petition Congress to bring him back?

First time I saw this.

This is why I do a certain mix. 200mg testC/100mg testP per ml. I still do a shot a day despite how much this looks like.

But regardless, prop has given me superior results so I'm on the fence here.

CBBurrr's picture

OK. I'll bite.
I disagree. 100mgs a day, times 7 days equals 700mg a week of prop. The prop may be converted to exogenous test at a far faster rate than the enathate, but you are dosing it daily and should see a similar test serum level, and daily release of exogenous test.
With a long ester, the chemical structure delivers the stead state release. With a short ester, the syringe delivers the steady state relase. Below is a graph from steroid plotdotcom, the first 10 weeks are 100mg a day of prop, the second 10 weeks is 300 mg E3D (700 a week) of test E. The prop delivers an even higher dose of exogenous test.
http://steroidplot.com/share/?l=20&t=10&n=2&c0_d=100&c0_c=testosterone&c...

The graph shows the higher daily release of test from the prop, probably from the ethanate ester being 10% heavier than the prop ester, meaning that the prop is 10% more test mg for mg.

No disrespect to tread, and I see he's not on lately to continue the debate. I'm in my first prop taper right now, and this post just happened to go against everything I thought I just learned about prop.
I'm sure another guru will step up and set me straight if I'm wrong.

BUMP................ i feel this needs to read and digested by a lot more new members, i am noticing even guys with years of cycle knowledge do not fully understand the prop math on either a kicker or a taper to to PCT.

LMFAO! when I saw this I thought tread wrote ANOTHER post... Yeah I'm feeling a bit nostalgic myself

LOVE THIS POST!!

Thank you Tread for this post and alloneword for pointing it back out to me. I am in the final days of the TestP taper (been pinning 100 EOD) and both of us on this cycle have noticed how much less we are feeling of the test. Less than godlike if you will.

For some reason I expected more out of TestP and maybe at ED it is. Don't misunderstand, I still feel pretty good but libido and that extra drive seems to be diminished..

Okay so you say I'm a newb now??

also this is the first time I have EVER had an argument/conversation with you about this topic. That is assuming you are not a second profile/account to this eroids website.

For me Testosterone is the number one over all mass builder. What I mean about this is mg for mg this compound will put more weight on me that any other compound when the dose is used in the effective range The actual quality of the weight is not very good in general but this needs to be used periodically in increased doses for me to add size.

Most of the year I use little Testosterone, sometimes I use none at all. The small amounts when I do use are simply for aggression and sexual function, however these two effects seem to gradually decrease in their potency the longer I am using the compound when used at lower doses. When I first begin to use after a period of none use I will be very sexually active and very aggressive in the gym however after a few months particularly the sexual function will decrease often to a point where I will need a helping hand in the bedroom from time to time unless I am using medium to higher doses and then it never is a problem. Reason for this I am not sure but have had minor sexual function problems for quite some years now which I speculate are down to varying things I have done in the past but not the actual use of steroids.

My Testosterone ester of preference to use is enanthate which I use most of the time and shortly followed my propionate. The reason I use enanthate is simple, it works out the best value for money and I use less volume when injecting as higher mg per ml solutions can be utilised painlessly The actual noticeable differences are very small between this and propionate however the main difference is the the water held between the skin (bloat) is very slightly less with the propionate and it is more potent mg for mg due to the shorter ester. The shorter ester comes in to play when blasting test as you can quickly reduce excess bloat from over dosing as when you reduce the water drops quicker however the enanthate is only a few days longer. I do not like testosterone blends, they can be good value for money but there is no extra benefit in my experience to all the fancy esters as far as keeping your blood levels stable (as many people believe these products do so more than conventional esters), you still need frequent injects to actually ensure stability. All the other esters in my experience either cause too much bloat or simply are not as good value for money.

Dosages I play with depend what I am doing. For function and aggression I stay around the 200mg a week mark and just do two injects a week. Again 3-4 would be better but it does the job at this and does not cause me any problems. Dosages of 300mg a week and above cause me to bloat heavily My arms will thicken but my veins will blur and my chest and abdominal region will take on allot of water despite me being lean. I can correct this to a point with the additional use of Masteron Propionate, but to give you an idea I would have to run my Masteron at around 750-800mg a week to hold off bloat from 400mg of Testosterone enanthate and there are limits to how far I can take this. At 400mg a week I would make good gains in the terms of thickness without the Masteron but with that compound there holding off the water it would be more steady. Trenbolone to a point helps regulate the water better when using testosterone but no where nearly as effective as Masteron, however when these 3 are combined you can produce a good look. The carbohydrates need to be watched and so does the sodium intake with anything above 200mg a week and even at this dosage I will bloat more than if no testosterone is present.

Testosterone does have a mild effect on fat burning for me and over the months of consistent use you will see a decrease in fat especially when used in conjunction with other compounds, this is a good reason to keep the compound in the body prolonged periods in conjunction with other products. It does stimulate my appetite mildly more so that when not used and this is true to the dosage, the more I take the more hungry I will be however it is a very minor hunger when compared to other compounds.

Testosterone does have it's place and it does contribute significantly to my growth even at low level, but the fact it makes me look like complete shit very easily is the reason I limit it's use to low doses. When I have blasted this compound and ate freely the actual overall gains have been very big but as I have said before the quality was not that good. This is not how I like to grow personally and I limit the increasing doses to sticking points usually as I always hate how I look even just after week or two into doing this. Overall not a nice compound for me but its low level use has benefits over not using at all. This concludes my thoughts on Testosterone.

This I copied when it first came out and put it in the pank aas book. Perfect timing to bump this Rusty, with all the new guys asking about cycles.

I can attest to your analogy Cdaddy. I ran test prop 50 mg ed and tne blast 50 ed for 3 weeks along with other compounds but, I had no fluctuations noticed except for the brief half life of TNE 2 hrs in the gym rahhhhh! and its did the job with a couple more hours left to aid in recovery and its gone out of the system. Never felt like I was on 700ml of test a week, no bloat not sides. Short esters and suspension make all the differents sometimes in getting the daily maxium workout and recovery.

Personal experience: 100mg test p ed is greater results wise than 700mg test e a week. Not talking bloat, not talking anything but pure results as far as strength, appearance, fullness, but Ed injects suck after a while. That's the only reason I prefer long esters, and then I always run have to run the, at a higher dose to get the same effect.
