    Prop if you don't mind ED injections, the reason i say this is because if for some reason it doesn't agree with you, it's ester is shorter lived than cyp or enth..just my .02

    TEST IS TEST BRO,some have a higher rate of conversion to free testosterone such as suspension which at 100mg will have i believe 98% of it free,which is what you want,enenthate is in the high 80's...there a thread around somewhere with the accurate amounts on it,maybe somebody can post it if you are unable to find it,but when it comes down to it,they all do the same thing given the dosages are the same to keep your blood levels stable

    Test is test! The ester just slows the release of the hormone.

    If you have never done your own injections I dont think I would recommend prop. Every single day you will be doing injections and unless you are making it yourself prop can be quite painful. I would recommend enanthate or cyp rather than shooting everyday. Trust me it gets old I have done it the last 2 cycles (24weeks).

    Cool, it seems like more peeps are leaning towards Enanthate . If possible id definatlely rather go 2 - 3 shots a weeks instead of ed.

    If you do have a problem with water retention, use some l-dex or femera along with your nolva, any of the tests will work, prop is just a shorter ester and it's effect is shorter lived, but if you're not experienced with injections, then i would go with a longer ester like Chosen One and others suggested...

    True, but if you have a problem with it, you don't know which ester is responsible, now for a second cycle it would be great...just my .03(a little extra jingle for inflation)

    Prop is very fast acting. I use this in the beginning of the cycle to see results fast, for me I gain very quickly on Prop. Test E I start on the same day as the Prop. I tried just Test E once but it took too long to kick in, but once it does it does a great job. Also, I recieved no sides with these, but I did take l-dex and nolva throughout the cycle.

    iM DEFINATELY ,LEANING ON THE ENANTHALE,.. it sounds as though you will hold less water than with Prop , wont have as much pain, and see the same results.

    u will hold more water with enanthate . i just fininished a e cycle and im bloated like **** right now. u could always run some nolvedex to keep the water down. many people say cyp will make u hold more water than enan. u also have to wait about 4 weeks to see results with a longer ester as opposed to prop which should only be like a week

    WRONG!

    Enanthate will hold MORE water than Prop.

    To better determine what test you should take answer these Q's.
    -What are your goals?
    -How often do you want to shoot?
    -What other compounds are you taking?

    Do not worry about the holding water issue, because thats what anti-E's are for.

    Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Testosterone Enanthate is about 72% of 100mg & Testosterone Propionate is about 84%...

    ethanate and cypoinate are pretty i dentical as far as release times.Doctors use both interchangebly when theraputically treating guys with test deficiency. Being that sustanon releases slower rhe general concensus is that it keeps you leaner, however it depends on diet. I loaded carbs like a mad man and was very water logged on sustanon.
    And to further confuse you, i had one training partner who had used EVERYTHING under the sun, and he said that ethanate kept him leaner. Go figure?
    Propianate is def not the one if you wanna stay somewhat dry.

    It's not that that much test will be free, it's that the esters take up less space in the molecule. 100mg of TNE is 100mg of pure testosterone , while prop is 84mg of pure test, cyp 72mg. They will still be bound by SHBG at the same rates. The shorter the ester the more actual test you get in you.

    If this is the case, make sure to have all proper ani e's on hand. Dbol will sure bring on the bloat. I recieved terriffic gains, but acne and bloat were a major issue. Remember if you have a reaction you are not going to be able to figure out what substance caused it. My suggestion again-Prop to kick start, start test E and the same time, and it should kick in just as you come off the Prop. Take the Prop again at the end of the cycle and wean off of the test E as it is harder to come down off of.

    What kind of reaction could you be alluding to? First off the test wont be active for the first 4 weeks so you could easily eliminate test as the culprit of any "reaction". Keep in mind though that if he gets gyno from Dbol he will most likely get gyno from the test also. They have the same pathways to gyno as opposed to Deca and tren which cause progesterone gyno. If he is running nolva, as he said he plans to, then "reactions" should be kept to a minimum if any at all. If acne is the "reaction" you were intending well that is part of the game and something you have to expect to take place before going in. If you cant stand the acne you probably cant stand to juice.

    : .... ..ok, cuttup, which test is best... ..test-osterone of course, now you have to decide which ester you want..please make sure you have your nolva and l-dex or femera,milk thistle, cranberry extract, etc. on hand before you start the cycle..if you're nervous about injections, get a very ripe orange and a couple of darts and practice on the orange, study up on maintaining sterile injection procedures,and of course have your diet up to par....as you see by now, if you have any problems, you've got a wealth of experience/information to draw from.....so set your cycle length and objectives and enjoy the ride..and of course, keep us posted....and here, have a banana.. ...

    with test e, is there a big difference between splitting up the dose to 2-3 shots per week or is it ok to do it all in one shot per week?

    Wow that means that running 100mg of Suspension each day is the same as running 1g of Test Enanthate a week. I just got even more excited for my winter cycle!! Great post x
