Im not the disputing the fact that the safest way to begin steroids is with a long estered test, but, wouldnt a begginer be be better off using a shorter ester ? the reason being, people do test alone to see how they react and what not, so why would somoene want to do a steroid/test that has a longer half life ? why not do prop first ? then if the side effects are bad the drug has stopped working with in a day or two and they sides wont be as prolonged...just a thought, im sure theres a good reason why...
