Switching Test during cycle?

fearnoone · Sep 16, 2008

Bro’s I have already used the search option to help me answer this question; however, I was unable to locate the answers I was looking for, so therefore here is my hypothetical question. How would an individual go about switching from Test E to Test Prop without messing up their blood levels and causing some issues they wouldn’t want. I have to switch to a shorter ester test because I deploy in less than 2 months and I’ve just reach the 4th week of my Test E cycle and I would rather finish the cycle before I take off. Thanks bro’s!

i think you should be find to just switch up. test e has a half life of about 2 weeksso if you stop the e on lets say saturday then on your next injection day just start the prop to maintain blood levels lets say its 500 mg test e a week switch to 125 mg test p eod. this is just what i think makes sence i could be totally wrong.

Essentially this is correct. You will find that test prop will work a bit better than test e. It works faster and at eod pinning your levels will be more stable. I get better results with prop that I do other esters.

Sweet!

That's all I need to know bro's and thank you!

Stay safe and I want to thank you for your service bro. Much respect to you!

Prop is about 15% more potent mg for mg than enanthate due to ester weight so I would dose accordingly

Thank you!

God Bless you OldFella and thank you HeavyIron.

More stable?

Why would they be?

Enanthate is just a longer acting ester that doesn't need to be injected as often as prop or acetate... that's it.

If you don't miss your weekly shot, your levels remain stable for as long as you're on... no reason to be otherwise.

As for prop "working better", then again... why?

The weight of the ester set aside, test is test...

I think Oldfella just likes the pain...

Well this is my observation, I have no studies to back this, but........
The short ester seems to release more test faster into your system. Or should I say uses more of what you put in. On eod injects you are keeping the concentration higher over time and less time for test to aromatize. Yes my friend you are correct, test is test. But the longer it circulates in the system unused the less effective it will become due to the bodies actions on these hormones (aromatization). I seem to get leaner faster, stronger while using prop as opposed to the longer esters. Say I use 500mg of Enanth a week. I get good results from this. But I use 500mg of prop a week and my results are better. I am no scientisit but I have been around long enough to know what does what and how well or not it works. Since the medical community does not conduct tests like this (not to my knowledge) we will not have specific data to confirm or deny my observations. But given the actions of SHBG and the aromatase process it sort of makes sense to me. Maybe one of the other more scientifically inclined on here can clarify a bit better.

i heard the same thing, that with prop you get better results..

fearnoone · Sep 18, 2008

Yes or NO

Bro's would it be pointless for me to run a 4 week cycle of test prop and winny, or should I just call it quits until I can actually run an 8 week cycle

liftalot79 · Sep 19, 2008

Right

I was always a E or Cyp man no one could tell me different then I did 100mg eod and I just was waiting until my cyp kick in. Between 1-2weeks in I notice 5-8lbs different on my Reps increase. I would see for 6wks typically on Cyp or E. So I am in love with Prop. plus really it's not that expensive.

Bro I second that thanks for serving in our Armed Forces I send Supplements over like multivitamins and NO and small stuff like that cause some guys just can't get it over there it;s good to donate once and awhile.

Peace

4 weeks is not long enough. Just long enough to shut you down though. I would say wait until you can get more time under your belt for a decent run.

Gotcha!

Man that sucks, however, OldFella I see where you are coming from, so I'll just take your advice and pack my dvd's up and wait until the right time! LAL79 Thank you bro and please continue to display your gratitude to those of us, Soldier's, Sailors, and Airmen, who have or still do serve this great nation.
