OVERVIEW
Testosterone Propionate, often called “test prop,” is a steroid produced by the testicles. It contributes significantly to male health by aiding sex drive and performance, energy, stamina, muscle mass, bone strength, fat loss, and possibly heart health. Emotionally, it contributes to a strong winning attitude and self-confidence. Men usually have levels seven or eight times higher than women. An anabolic steroid, the hormone is responsible for secondary sex characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, deepened voice, and body hair growth patterns. There are several variations, or esters, of testosterone, each with slightly different characteristics.
Testosterone Propionate is a classic short-ester form of testosterone that is fast-acting, usually given every other day. Test prop has fewer side effects than other forms of the steroid. Used in – bulking / cutting / bulking and cutting cycle, whether on its own for beginners or in complex cycles by more advanced bodybuilders, it increases muscle mass and blocks fat storage. It can be stacked with most other steroids for maximum results.
PREVENTION OF SIDE EFFECTS
Get regular blood draws to monitor drug levels. Aromatase promotes estrogen production in both men and women, so aromatase-inhibiting drugs, especially Anastrozole, prevent testosterone from breaking down into estrogen.
POST-CYCLE THERAPY (PCT)
All chemicals in the bloodstream pass through the liver to be broken down and either recycled or excreted. When testosterone breaks down, it turns into a form of estrogen, a hormone that regulates body fat and breast development among other things. To offset this, SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators) such as Clomiphene, Toremifene, and Tamoxifen prevent estrogen changes during the PCT stage of the cycle. Another purpose of PCT therapy is kickstarting the body back into manufacturing its own testosterone after weeks of having testosterone injections. Some bodybuilders also take HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) to prevent or reverse testicular shrinking and infertility.
TEST OP COMPARED To OTHER PRODUCTS
Here are some points to consider when learning about cycles and combining drugs:
Half-life: The longer the half-life of a drug, the longer it takes to peak and break down in your body. That means that it stays longer in your liver and shows up longer during periodic urine and blood testing.
Form of delivery: Injectables deliver the most drug into your system. Oral medications are mostly digested with very little actually being used by your body
Length of time in cycle: The longer you take a steroid, the more your body depends on it and stops making it on its own. The right balance is jumpstarting production without flooding the engine.
CONCLUSION
Testosterone Propionate is one of several powerful androgens that have made you the man you are today. Steroids are like guns, though. Learn about them from a knowledgeable coach who knows how to handle them in balance with the right kind of diet and exercise.
