Testosterone phenypropionate
Testosterone phenypropionate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone that has been attached to the fast acting phenypropionate ester. The activity of this drug is very similar to testosterone propionate, supplying the hormone at only at best a slightly longer period of release. Testosterone phenypropionate was first developed in the 1950s. A few isolated products containing the substance were developed in the years following, although this was never a very popular item. Testolent was the brand name for the most recent preparation of the drug known to be sold on the global steroid market and was marketed by a pharmaceutical company out of Romania by the name of Sicomed. This agent was prescribed to treat low androgen levels in males, but was also occasionally prescribed in females for the treatment of advanced breast cancer and low sex drive.
Testosterone is the most common anabolic hormone that there is and is also considered the most basic. Due to this, bodybuilders and athletes often consider it the base steroid to most all cycles. Testosterone is both anabolic and androgenic in nature. Users of this steroid will notice a dramatic gain in muscle size and strength, as well as an overall sense of well being and increases libido and sex drive. Testosterone aromatizes very easily and therefore estrogen buildup and side effects can become an issue for users sensitive to these problems or those choosing to use a high dose of this compound. Therefore, when using Testosterone, bodybuilders often choose in incorporate an anti-estrogen such as Anastrozole, Proviron, Tamoxifen to help keep estrogen related side effects to a minimum. Extremely sensitive users, or users using very high doses (800-1200mgs) might find that stronger anti-estrogens such as Letrozole or Exemestane are more suitable. Androgenic side effects such as oily skin are also possible while taking Testosterone. Those looking to bulk up, often add this drug with other steroids such as deca durabolin and/or equipoise, along with an oral compound such as dianobol or anadrol. Those looking to use testosterone during cutting phase might wish to stack it with compounds such as trenbolone or winstrol. This drug’s use will quickly shut down the body’s natural production of the hormone, thus making a proper PCT plan essential for restoring the body’s natural function and maintaining gains as best as possible after use of the steroid has been discontinued. At cycle’s end, bodybuilders often choose to use a combination of Clomid, Tamoxifen, and HCG for a period of 3-4wks in order to restore pituitary gland and testes operation quickly and effectively.
Woman bodybuilders often use testosterone to build mass, although of course the dosage is significantly less than what males would use due to the possibility of masculizing side effects. The male user’s dosage of this steroid would typically be in 400-1200mg per week range and cycle duration would be from 8-20 weeks, depending of course on the goals of the athlete. Women typically see desirable results from doses of 50-100mgs per week.
