Description

Testosterone Prop is a testosterone hormone with the propionic acid attached to it. When injected, the ester slowly detaches in a controlled release time, and this is when the testosterone becomes active. This means that at its core, Testosterone Propionate is simply pure testosterone and therefore comes with the anabolic and androgenic rating of 100 and 100.

Often Testosterone Propionate will be injected every day of a cycle. On the upside, if you need a quick decrease in testosterone concentration for testing purposes or because you’re experiencing adverse effects, this ester only takes a short time to leave the body once you stop injecting due to it’s short half-life.

When used at a moderate dose, Testosterone Propionate can effectively remedy symptoms of low testosterone in men. When used at a higher dosage, powerful anabolic effects are possible as we will see below.

Testosterone Propionate also has the potential to increase red blood cell production, which can improve endurance and performance. It is commonly used by athletes and bodybuilders to increase muscle mass and strength

Like all forms of testosterone, it’s also easily and effectively stacked with just about any other steroid out there making it a highly compatible and versatile steroid for many different uses.

Testosterone is the male sex hormone responsible for many of the physical and emotional traits of men. It creates the deeper voices, sex drive, aggression and, of course, larger muscles in men. Testosterone makes the muscles retain more nitrogen, which in turn makes the muscle synthesize proteins better, producing larger muscles.

The downside to testosterone steroids is that they aromatize, or turn into estrogen, in the body. When the body has too much estrogen it begins to take on female characteristic’s gynecomastia, water retention, fat gain, loss of sex drive and testicular shrinkage are all most certain side effects of taking testosterone and letting it aromatize in the body.

Testosterone propionate is a commonly manufactured, oil-based injectable testosterone compound. The propionate ester will slow the rate in which the steroid is released from the injection site, but only for a few days. Testosterone propionate is therefore much faster acting than other testosterone esters such as cypionate or enanthate, and requires a much more frequent dosing schedule, to maintain stable blood levels. While cypionate and enanthate are injected on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, propionate is usually injected every second.
Women who absolutely must use an injectable testosterone should only use this preparation. The dosage schedule should also be more spread out for a female bodybuilder, with injections coming every 5 to 7 days. The dosage obviously would be lower as well, generally in the range of 25mg to 50mg per injection.

Androgenic activity should be less pronounced with this schedule, giving blood levels time to sufficiently decrease before the drug is administered again. To further reduce any risks, the duration of this cycle should not exceed 8 weeks. Should a stronger anabolic effect be needed, a small amount of Durabolin (Deca-Durabolin if unavailable), Oxandrolone or Winstrol could be added.

Of course, the risk of noticing virilizing effects from these drugs may increase, even with the addition of a mild anabolic. Since many of the masculinizing side effects of steroid use can be irreversible, it is very important for the female athlete to monitor the dosage, duration, and incidence of side effects very closely.
