Test E or Cyp?

[chgolatin-one]

I have done many cycles with Test E however bloat/water gains were a factor to my size wondering if Cyp would make a difference if at all. I wish I could do prop but prop pain kills me and I hate frequent injections.

I have been off the game for quite of while since my injury from work and other life factors which I am looking forward to change soon, very soon!

Bloat and water retention are all diet related and have nothing to do with your choice of test. Cyp and enanth are very similar in the fact they are both long acting esters. SO it really won't matter which one you use, if your diet is not on point and your sodium intake is too high and water intake too low you will look like a puffer fish!

I agree with oldfella. I never bloat on Test E.

My understanding is that all androgens (and estrogen for that matter) will increase sodium/electrolyte retention to some extent. Water naturally follows due to an increase in osmotic gradient (like that old science class experiment where you put an egg in salt water and it shhriveled up,lol). So I think when you're talking about any testosterone, water retention is inevitable. I have never used cyp, but if I remember correctly it is only one or two carbons longer than enanthate. I don't think there would be much difference at all. Good luck on your recovery from injury, and don't worry muscle memory is a wonderful thing, it comes back faster than you think.

Correct to a point. Water retention within the cells of the muscle is desired. Water retention in the interstitional space (sub Q) is not. So you do not need to look bloated nor is there any need to. Also all the extra sub Q water retention is dangerous as it indicates a problem with sodium/electrolyte balance and is hard on your system. it can result in High BP and other probs.

Yes I should have clarified. I was talking about inside the cell. I agree water under the skin can definitely controlled through diet. I have read that using dandelion root can be safe and effective as a natural potassium-sparing diuretic. No doubt in my mind you are the man Oldfella.
