Questions about an 8 week prop cycle my friend is doing

[Swiftdemise Member Find all posts View Profile Close Swiftdemise]

he is currently midway through week 4 (@ 500mg/wk) and has seen no change in weight although me and a couple other friends have seen his muscle are definetly more defined and he says they have hardened.

is this normal will he get his weight gain later in the cycle?

the prop is vialed in clear vials and we were told by the source its strength is 200mg i was thinking that perhaps they fcked up and its actually 100mg, my friend is getting his test level in 4-5 days and we will know for sure.

Question 2: if he has been only taking 250mg a week other then a waste of time what else is negative about this? (for example shutting yourself down for nothing, but my understanding is it is a trt dose and the shut down shouldnt be nearly as hard/bad as 500mg/wk)

also if thats the case should we up the dosage and extend it 2-3 weeks?

or should he stop and do pct+time on = time off? (planned pct was nolva at 40/20/20/20)

or since its only been 4-5 weeks at a trt dose should he not bother with a pct and just do his time on = time off? (so 4-5 weeks off) and then restart the cycle at the correct dose?

thanks very much for the help guys, appreciate it alot.

Q1. Prop is a fast acting ester, most guys use it for cutting. I'm going to say he wont see any size or very little. Prop will harden and define your muscles, thats why its use for cutting mostly. Q2. At the dose of 250mg or 500mg it will shut your own test down.
How often are you pinning a week? You should be doing ed or eod with prop, again because it's a fast acting ester and will only stay active for 3-4 days in the body.
Yes you should do a full PCT, again the prop will shut you down within a week or two. IMO

That's why you go with Naps. You always know what you are getting and never need to worry about its authenticity.


If his source possibly fucked up by saying its 200mg when its really 100mg ... For all you know it can not even be Prop and be Test E, Cyp or maybe not even Test at all? If its Test E or Cyp it takes 4-5 weeks to fully kick in and maybe that is why he has not noticed much? Before you start increasing dosage and all of that, figure out what is really in it. Is it Prop at 200mg - 100mg, is it even Prop? You dont want to just increase it. If its Test E or Cyp at 200mg/ML as they were told - you would be taking 1000mg a week.

Follow MrBig's advice and do a full PCT.
