First cycle with Testosterone Propionate as opposed to Testosterone Enanthate?

**MrBucket22** · 04-05-2011, 02:21 PM

I plan on doing my first cycle as soon as I drop my body fat to at least 12-16%. I've been researching for many weeks and reading this forum multiple hours per day learning about diets, workout techniques, and AAS insight. I've came to a desicion that my first cycle will be as reads

Weeks 1-12
Testosterone Enanthate 250-300mg 2x/wk (not sure yet if I should do 500mg or 600mg per wk)

Weeks 4-14
HCG 250IU 2x/wk

PCT:
Weeks 14-18
Nolva 40/20/20/20
Clomid 100/50/50/50

Is there anything that needs tweaking?

Also, I read that testosterone enanthate being a heavier ester, that for every 200mg I inject, only 110mg is testosterone (55% active testosterone). Testosterone Propionate being a lighter ester yields more active testosterone at 148mg per 200mg (74% active testosterone).

My question is... I know the reason they say enanthate for a first cycle is because the longer acting ester will keep the blood levels stable, and can be injected less frequent. If I have no problem what so ever injecting more frequent, wouldn't it be more beneficial to go with Testosterone propionate ??

If i'm missing something please let me know.
ALL FEEDBACK WILL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED, ESPECIALLY FROM THE VETS!!

Bodyfat and training experience

You really don't need that much test for a first cycle...Just my 2 cents...350mg/wk should be more than enough for you to see solid gains...And the frequent injections aren't the only thing wrong with prop..The post injection pain can be pretty bad

bodyfat = 22-25%, Training Experience = I have trained consistantly from 18-21, when I was 22 I tore my rotator cuff and had to have surgery so I didn't train much that year. Picked it up again from 23-25. At 25 I pulled my ACL+MCL and again had surgery. I've been back in the gym for about 3 months now.

Get your BF down more before you start anything. Taking juice at a BF that high won't end well.

As I stated in the first paragraph, I'm waiting until I hit around 15% mark, from what I have read it wouldn't be in my best interest to start any sooner. I totally agree with you.

Ahh ok, sorry missed that. Smart man. In that case, refer to my first post, while there is technically nothing wrong with running prop for a 1st time user, it isn't recommend primarily because of the two reasons I've already stated.
