TweetThere is a difference between running 400mg of test prop and 400mg of test enan/cyp, and an even bigger difference in a gram of test prop and a gram of test enan per week. Why is that? A weekly dose of 400mg of test is 400mg of test, right? Well, it is, but that's only half the battle, if even that. Getting your hormone level to where you want it is what produces results. See, with test prop, if you're taking 100mg eod, then you are getting 400mg a week (Sun, Tue, Thur, Sat). And if you're taking test enan @ 200mg Mon & Thurs, then that's also 400mgs of test per week. The difference is, with the test prop, your test levels are going to be half of what they are with test enan. Test prop at 100mgs eod is like taking 200-250mgs of test e/c once a week. This is because of the 2-3 day half life of the test prop. That's why your hormones aren't raging at close to a gram of prop weekly as they do with a gram of test enan. Because even at 100mgs of prop daily, your hormone level is that of a supplemental dose of 300mgs max, whereas if you take 500mg of test enan twice weekly, you are getting your hormone levels to where a gram of test can put them. So an effective dose of test enan at 500 mgs per week will produce higher hormone levels than running test prop @ 100mgs/ed equaling 700mgs per week.
This may not be news or new information to some folks, but I had never put the thought into it before primarily because I had never ran prop before. I got to wondering why I just wasn't having the strength and weight gain that I do with the longer esters, and realized that my test levels are basically lingering around a supplemental dose of 300mgs which is right around a natural healthy male hormone level.
Tweetgreat read horsepwr, I love prop, and for this exact reason because I don't get the up and down. I don't use and huge doses anymore, phuque my AAS use is mostly for recovery, to stay healthy, maintain what i got, etc. Prop is an easy way at 100 mg/eod to maintain nicely. This is why more and more endo's are prescribing prop over cyp/ent...
