Additional questions about 1-test Cyp and TRT

ad

Sorry, Newbie questions warning!

I’ve read “P's” write-up “1-Testosterone Cypionate: A Full Review - Is It For You?” P – Great write-up!
But I have a couple additional questions about 1-test Cyp and TRT.

From what I “think” I understand 1-test Cyp would be a good solution for someone on TRT with high BF (over 50) as it does not aromatize to estrogens (No water retention, gynecomastia or fat gains) – correct?

If that is correct, as your BF drops – say 30% to 20% (hopefully through diet and increased cardio) will you need to adjust dosage for TRT purposes?

Other than the cost which is a significant factor why wouldn’t you run 1-test Cyp over Test C/E for TRT?

Ok, i see this mis-interpretation made a lot swift186. 1-test cyp is not an ester variant of testosterone (i.e. testosterone propionate, testosterone enanthate,...). Although on (written) paper it is very similar to testosterone, in actual fact, 1-test cyp and test cyp are 2 completely different compounds, which means that you cannot replace 1-test cyp with test e or test c for TRT. Think of 1-test cyp as a tweaked version of EQ - now with all EQ cycles you must always run test, which is useful for maintaining sexual function and increasing your recovery chances/rate. So this is much the same for 1-test cyp - with this compound you must always run a testosterone ester alongside it, like how i did in my cycle: P's Cycle Adventure

If your BF% is >50% then the first thing you should consult is your diet swift186. Drop your BF% down to a reasonable percentage such as ~10% (this is easily achievable through diet, see: Pre-Cycle Protocol and then consider a blast.

Ahh…. That makes perfect sense.

LOL – Sorry, my BF% isn’t over 50 my age is (though it sure reads that way) …:)

BF% is still way too high >25% and Diet and exercise are my #1 priority…

Thank you all - Learning a great deal here!!

because 1-test cyp is not testosterone and can not take the place of test c/e. it can only be run concurrently with a testosterone e or c in a cycle
