| Testosterone propionate
is a common oil-based injectable
testosterone. The added propionate
extends the activity of the testosterone
but it is still comparatively much
faster acting than other testosterone
esters such as Cypionate and Enanthate.
While cypionate and Enanthate are
injected weekly, propionate is most
commonly injected at least every third
day to keep blood levels steady. For
strength and muscle mass gains, this
drug is quite effective.
With propionate, androgenic side
effects seem somewhat less pronounced
than with the other testosterones,
probably due to the fact that blood
levels do not build up as high. Users
often report less gyno trouble, lower
water retention and commonly claim to be
harder on prop than with the others.
This however is still a testosterone
and, as with all testosterone products,
androgenic side effects are unavoidable.
It should also be noted that propionate
is often a very painful injection. Users
very regularly report swelling and
noticeable pain for days after a shot |
