Cypionate information:
Athletes claim that this drug produces dramatic size and strength
increases. It can be stacked with a number of different steroids and
yield even greater results, Cypionate is the most popular testosterone
used by athletes. Effective dosages for men are in the rang e of 1-3
ccs per week.It comes in 250mg/2ml; vial injectable form of
testosterone.
American athletes have a long a fond relationship with Testosterone
cypionate. While Testosterone Enanthate is manufactured widely
throughout the world, cypionate seems to be almost exclusively an
American item. It is therefore not surprising that American athletes
particularly favor this testosterone ester. But many claim this is not
just a matter of simple pride, often swearing cypionate to be a
superior product, providing a bit more of a "kick" than Enanthate. At
the same time it is said to produce a slightly higher level of water
retention, but not enough for it to be easily discerned. Of course when
we look at the situation objectively, we see these two steroids are
really interchangeable, and cypionate is not at all superior. Both are
long acting oil-based injectables, which will keep testosterone levels
sufficiently elevated for approximately two weeks. Enanthate may be
slightly better in terms of testosterone release, as this ester is one
carbon atom lighter than cypionate (remember the ester is calculated in
the steroids total milligram weight). The difference is so
insignificant however that no one can rightly claim it to be noticeable
(we are maybe talking a few milligrams per shot). Regardless, cypionate
came to be the most popular testosterone ester on the U.S. black market
for a very long time.
As with all testosterone injectables, one can expect a considerable
gain in muscle mass and strength during a cycle. Since testosterone has
a notably high affinity for estrogen conversion, the mass gained from
this drug is likely to be accompanied by a discernible level of water
retention. The resulting loss of definition of course makes cypionate a
very poor choice for dieting or cutting phases. The excess level of
estrogen brought about by this drug can also cause one to develop
gynecomastia rather quickly. Should the user notice an uncomfortable
soreness, swelling or lump under the nipple, an ancillary drug like
Nolvadex should probably be added. This will minimize the effect of
estrogen greatly, making the steroid much more tolerable to use. The
powerful antiaromatases Arimidex, Femara, or Aromasin are yet a better
choice. Those who have a known sensitivity to estrogen may find it more
beneficial to use ancillary drugs like Nolvadex and Proviron from the
onset of the cycle, in order to prevent estrogen related side effects
before they become apparent.
Since testosterone is the primary male androgen, we should also expect
to see pronounced androgenic side effects with this drug. Much
intensity is related to the rate in which the body converts
testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This, as you know, is the
devious metabolite responsible for the high prominence of androgenic
side effects associated with testosterone use. This includes the
development of oily skin, acne, body/facial hair growth and male
pattern balding. Those worried that they may have a genetic
predisposition toward male pattern baldness may wish to avoid
testosterone altogether. Others opt to add the ancillary drug Propecia,
which is a relatively new compound that prevents the conversion of
testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (see: Proscar). This can greatly
reduce the chance for running into a hair loss problem, and will
probably lower the intensity of other androgenic side effects. Although
active in the body for much longer time, cypionate is injected on a
weekly basis. This should keep blood levels relatively constant,
although picky individuals may even prefer to inject this drug twice
weekly. At a dosage of 250mg to 800mg per week we should certainly see
dramatic results. It is interesting to note that while a large number
of other steroidal compounds have been made available since
testosterone injectables, they are still considered to be the dominant
bulking agents among bodybuilders. There is little argument that these
are among the most powerful mass drugs. While large doses are generally
unnecessary, some bodybuilders have professed to using excessively high
dosages of this drug.. This was much more common before the 1990's,
when cypionate vials were usually very cheap and easy to find in the
states. A "more is better" attitude is easy to justify when paying only
$20 for a l0cc vial (today the typical price for a single injection).
When taking dosages above 800-1000mg per week there is little doubt
that water retention will come to be the primary gain, far outweighing
the new mass accumulation. The practice of "megadosing" is therefore
inefficient, especially when we take into account the typical high cost
of steroids today.
It is also important to remember that the use of an injectable
testosterone will quickly suppress endogenous testosterone production.
It is therefore good advice to use a testosterone stimulating drug like
HCG and/or Clomid/Nolvadex at the conclusion of a cycle. This should
help the user avoid a strong "crash" due to hormonal imbalance, which
can strip away much of the new muscle mass and strength. This is no
doubt the reason why many athletes claim to be very disappointed with
the final result of steroid use, as there is often only a slight
permanent gain if anabolics are discontinued incorrectly. Of course we
cannot expect to retain every pound of new bodyweight after a cycle.
This is especially true whenever we are withdrawing a strong
(aromatizing) androgen like testosterone, as a considerable drop in
weight (and strength) is to be expected as retained water is excreted.
This should not be of much concern; instead the user should focus on
ancillary drug therapy so as to preserve the solid mass underneath.
Another way athletes have found to lessen the "crash", is to first
replace the testosterone with a milder anabolic like Deca-Durabolin.
This steroid is administered alone, at a typical dosage (200-400mg per
week), for the following month or two. In this "stepping down"
procedure the user is attempting to turn the watery bulk of a strong
testosterone into the more solid muscularity we see with nandrolone
preparations. In many instances this practice proves to be very
effective. Of course we must remember to still administer ancillary
drugs at the conclusion, as endogenous testosterone production will not
be rebounding during the Deca therapy
