Testosterone is widely used steroid in bodybuilding that is taken in almost every cycle. Being the basic steroid, this drug has important impact in the growth and development of body muscles.
A popular testosterone compound, well known between bodybuilders/athletes is Testosterone propionate. It represents an oil-based injectable steroid. Testosterone propionate is considering being one of the most effective preparations for gain body mass and strength. Propionate is one of the shortest ester, with active life 2-3 days, that doesn’t mean that it is not efficient. It is the same efficient as other long acting testosterone. The positive side is that it will release more quickly into the bloodstream, which will produce quick gains in size and strength. Being short acting Testosterone propionate also leaves the body quickly, which means that your body can begin to recover from side effects more quickly. Its detection time is about 2-3 weeks. Testosterone propionate is also low toxic on liver.
The negative side is that propionate need to be injected more frequent that other testosterone ester. Bodybuilders find effective to inject every 2 other day. Recommended dose for male sportsmen is 50mg-150mg per day. Testosterone propionate is often used among female bodybuilders, because blood levels are easier to control with it compared to other esters. Recommended dose is 25-50mg per day and should be administered every 5-7 days. The duration of their cycle should not exceed 8 weeks.
As any form of testosterone, testosterone propionate is partially converted to both estrogen and Dihydrotestosterone. These are often the cause of many side effects such as gynocomastia, water retention, hair loss and prostate enlargement. Although it was noticed that when compared to other testosterone compounds this side effects are milder.
In order to obtain better results in gaining mass and strength bodybuilders/athletes chose to stack it with stanozolol, trenbolone, nandrolone, oxymetholone, methandrostenolone and oxandrolone.
As many other steroid Testosterone Propionate cause different side effects, as: acne, water retention, high blood pressure, aromatization, hair loss, gynecomastia and other. To avoid them it is recommended to take during the cycle ancillary drugs such as nolvadex, proviron and arimidex.
