    Red face Differenmt types of testosterone? I'm confused...

    Here's a stupid question if ever I asked one - but why do the different types of testosterone (En, Prop & Susp) have different detection times in a drug test?

    And secondly - which would be the preferred Test for an endurance athlete looking to help recovery (and, hopefully, by using 'low' doses avoid any weight gain).

    Thanks

    well enth is a long acting ester wich it takes longer to get into the system in full effect, prop is fast acting , and im not to sure about suspension never read about it.

    Oh like I said, to help recovery after hard training sessions, and I beleive test *might* also assist in raising HCT which would be helpful.

    Test prop, however the injection site pain might be a limiting factor.

    the half life's are longer...so it takes longer for some to be effective, but also takes longer to get out of ur system...
