Why do the majority of the US customers prefer Test Cyp over Test E? For decades Test E was king, it doesnt crash, it holds at higher concentrations and typically is less likely to bite you in the ass.

All of my friends use Test Cyp so that's what I picked when I started

I pay close attention to the difference in half life and it makes a difference in my cycle

C comes before E in the alphabet so I see it first when I'm shopping and I'm lazy.

Because Vigorous Steve said Enanthate was the worst ester in one of his videos so since then I’ve always used Cyp.

I used to only run E when I was new to the game and uncomfortable pinning + less knowledgeable and just cycled 500 mg test-E/week because “that’s what you do”.

As I became more knowledgeable and more comfortable pinning I switched to C because the slightly shorter half life does seem to produce less estrogen related issues for me.

Having said that, for the past 18 months or so I’ve switch to small, EOD Sust pins during my cruise phase and will either up the dose or switch to prop on cycle depending on my goals (Sust to grow; prop to stay dry when cutting).

In the end, for me it was all about half life knowledge and careful observation of estrogen related sides between the two.

At the end of the day the difference is marginal, but- ya like what ya like.

Cypionate has a slightly longer half-life than enanthate

I get more PIP from E than I do C or prop. Everyone is different though.

Its the esther right? longer chains leave room for yucky water retention. But who likes penning. We all know those guys that love to pen. And i dont mean the show prep guys. They're freaking loathing their every-other-day pens of prop-mast-tren and who knows what else....that shit sucks. Im talking the guys that just like to jab because a pen a day keeps the atrophy away. On paper, test cyp and test E are very similar. So similar theres virtually measurable no difference between the 2. Cyp's half life is a little shorter resulting in potentially less water retention and E is slightly longer potentially resulting in more. Otherwise....theyre the same.

Personally Test when it comes to results. I would rather use prop but that bitch bites.

Not all test prop is created equal, it shouldn't be biting that bad!

Musclemem's picture

Hell Prop always bites the shit out of me no matter who’s manufactured it. At least so far for me

I had this exact conversation with my friend the other day. I came to was that usa doctors prescribe test C for TRT. So this new generation growing up sees it in dad's medicine cabinet when they are snooping through it for the "feel good " meds lol. It's all they know is test C

I just started with c first as it’s what my trt is.

I just started my first run with test cyp I was curious to because I've always ran test e so we will see in a few weeks

I feel like everyone is just different. Try and see what works best!

Vanillagorilla15's picture

I started on cyp because it’s what the gym bros were using. I took a break and came back started on test E which I think I like better. Probably won’t go back to cyp anytime soon. It seems to crash easier and a lot of people are only doing 200 mg/ml now.

UncleYoked's picture

I've noticed the shift myself. Probably last year or the year before when cyp officially took over E as the #1 item

thahulk2014's picture

I love cyp. If it aint broke don’t fix it.

BlinkZone's picture

I can't really explain it myself but I just always feel more "on" with cyp vs enan. Cyp gives me the typical androgenic sides like sweating, pumps, etc and enan feels much milder. It's crazy I know

Mikeyt84LINY's picture

That's crazy just goes to show how diff this stuff affects everyone.
I'm the complete opposite of you. Regarding the cyp and enanthate.

Just saw a study coming out soon how test e has much higher serum peak then test cyp at same mg.
Vigoroussteve youtube enanthate vs cyp study

I was introduced with enanthate and two shots a week and for almost a decade no matter the substance.. Tren... test.. whichever.. I will only ever use enanthate.

Just an fyi...
All testosterones are not created equal: test c, test e, test suspension, bold cypionate, testosterone phenylpropionate, testosterone isocaproate, testosterone decanoate (Sustanon) test prop, etc. all have different chemical structures and uses- whereas every individual will have a differnt reaction to said testosterone introduced.
Main differences between testosterone cypionate and testosterone enanthate:
Testosterone cypionate has 8 carbon atoms in its ester chain, while testosterone enanthate has 7. This slight difference can affect how they are absorbed and metabolized in the body.
One of the main differences between testosterone cypionate and testosterone enanthate is their half-lives. Testosterone cypionate has a half-life of around 8 days, while testosterone enanthate has a half-life of around 7-9 days. This means that testosterone enanthate may stay in your system slightly longer than cypionate.
I go for sustanon myself over the these 2. It just hits different after using both test e and test c on prior cycles.

enanthate has a shorter half-life than cypionate of 2-3 days, cypionate causes more swelling than enanthate, in the USA cypionate is used and sold more, in Europe on the contrary enanthate is used, everyone has their own fan, I use propionate 25mg eod for my TRT, doing the tests after 24 hours brings me to a level of 1240ng, which for a man no longer young is sufficient, removing the ester and what remains in the syringe I think is 22mg of testosterone eod

Do you do IM or Subq for TRT with that dose?

keytech's picture

IM only, now i have add 250 iu hcg also

Monday, Wednesday, Friday ---> 25mg tp IM

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday---> 250 iu hcg subq

i will retest next two months

Glitch's picture

When in doubt do a blend. Best of both worlds. All their strengths. None of their weaknesses...

Nevermind. Im thinking of that Blade movie. Test C is the new thing with the next generation coming up. TRT is becoming more and more popular. This next generation of meatheads ask their uncle about his TRT use. "Its Test C buddy!" So, there ya go. Plus the super reputable Facebook clinics. They see Test C on there. Im probably wrong about all this shit. (All but the Blade movie). But, i had to find something to kill this 10 minutes before i start my day. So there you go. And here you are.

Sust for the win!

Cyp is the only test I've ever seen advertised here, and its always a vial next to a big set of titties.

Tomahawk_25's picture

Is it normal in the beginning of the cycle having gyno symptoms , like nipple itching and nipple pafines ? Should i combine anastrazol ?

SimonM84's picture

Of course

Tomahawk_25's picture

https://youtu.be/awDR2f8iIk8?si=mcYXS3KQuNtj2bIE. -- this dude says it's normal in the beginning because the body is adapting to the hormones and it will go away, you dont get gyno so fast, only if you start filling a lamp under the nipple, says dont take AI cause it toxic

miggymig's picture

I think is the boom in on line TRT clinics and they all push Cyp
I always hear dudes all talking about it at the gym saying stupid shit like "Cyp is just TRT not really steroids"

lol gym conversations are hilarious. Especially the ones stuffed full of high school kids..

Jockstrap's picture

Enth has never been usa pharma. So its simple there. Smile

miggymig's picture

I've seen onlyDepo and Sust in pharmacies

smurfdude1234567's picture

It has been and is available in US pharma, but is very uncommon.

Xyosted and their auto injectors got popular among older guys for a while. Still see a couple get written and ordered on occasion.

thahulk2014's picture

Main reason for me is its an easy transition back to my trt dose pharma test.

Black90tsi's picture

C is what i'm prescribed for trt. So i just up the dose when i run a cycle.

Bicep curlz's picture

I personally switch it up. Test e one cycle next cycle test c. That way body doesn't adapt n produces and keeps higher testosterone levels

McMuscle2's picture

Sayy what?! Test is test no matter the ester. Your body doesn't adapt to the different esters.

I've never really noticed a difference between them. Although I do prefer a blend of them both. Seems to hit better than one ester alone. I'm surprised more sources don't make a C + E only.

I have seen a source awhile back that had a C & E blend can't remember who but yea I'd try that blend for sure
