    Test E vs Test C

    I’ve been on an experimental kick trying to find which test works best for myself. I’m a little over half way through a 12 week cycle of Test C @600mg/wk. I know Test C and Test E are very close on a molecular level. Was just wondering if anyone has run both separately and notice they seem to do better on one versus the other? Main point is after running PCT would it be worth running an identical cycle of Test E @600mg/wk.

    Test is test. The only things different on these is the rate the testosterone is released in to the blood and and it's active life. And since the difference between ethanate and cypionate is 1 carbon atom, the cypionate is only slightly less water soluble and slightly more fat soluble.

    As far as how they'd work on you, you probably won't notice any difference between the two.

    Now to your question about running them after PCT. You don't run any steroids 14 days prior, during and after your PCT. The point of the PCT is to help recover from using steroids. If you're taking more gear, then you're not recovering.

    But if you mean in future cycles, you can use whatever type of testosterone you want. The shorter ester versions act quicker on the body and pass through quicker, so you can get to that "sweet spot" where you're making gains quicker, get the gains then get off the gear in less time which will probably be a little easier on your HPTA.

    I'm like H_K. If I had planned to run test cyp and could only locate test enanthate at the time, I'd run my cycle the same. Virtually no noticeable difference between the two.

    The only time I would opt for test cyp over enanthate is if I was homebrewing. The raws for test cypionate tend to be cleaner. Other than that, it's "six of one, half dozen of the other" for me.

    I was reading a sticky thread on here in the beginning and one of the piece of advice that stuck out to me was about running the esters individually to see how it affected you. I was kinda going with that idea. So run Test C, PCT until natural levels are back then try the next ester and run that the same. Just to see if any test reacts better for me or not.

    They're all going to act the same on you. It's just a matter of how quick it acts. You shouldn't be running different tests just for the sake of experimenting with drugs, but rather use the ones that will help meet the goals of your cycle best.

    Thank you. I will change my approach

    I’ve noticed ZERO difference in Cyp or Enth but stick with Cyp, because that’s what was prescribed to me by my TRT doc. That way when I travel, I take my UGL bottles and keep them in the old Test C boxes or RX bottle.

    Truly zero difference in this old body

    I only use Sustanon (as my primary test)

    Don’t know why, but it seems to give a kick for a day or 3 after shot day

    But, I’ll use any other test laying around

    Man, for over a 1/2 dozen years now

    I read that it’s proscribed in other countries for TRT - so, I gave it a go & never left

    This is my first cycle not of sus (only done 2 before over the course of 15 years) I’d run SUS E5D and stack with Prop EOD. Just read so many people blasting SUS figured I’d try something new. Pretty sure I’ll go back to that though.
