Testosterone Enanthate is an injectable steroid which contains 250mg per ML of the hormone Testosterone Enathate.
The Enathate ester of this drug makes its release into slow and
therefore is requires injections to be less frequent than they would be
if a bodybuilder using Propionate. Athletes using this steroid often
find that a twice weekly injection schedule, such as Monday/Thursday, is
very sufficient for maintaining steady blood levels of the hormone.
Testosterone is the most common anabolic hormone that there is and is
also considered the most basic. Due to this, bodybuilders often consider
it the base steroid to most all cycles. Testosterone is both anabolic
and androgenic in nature. Users of this steroid will notice a dramatic
gain in muscle size and strength, as well as an overall sense of well
being and increases libido and sex drive.
Testosterone aromatizes very easily and therefore estrogen buildup and
side effects can become an issue for users sensitive to these problems
or those choosing to use a high dose of this compound. Therefore, when
using Testosterone, bodybuilders often choose in incorporate an
anti-estrogen such as Anastrozole, Proviron, Tamoxifen to help keep
estrogen related side effects to a minimum. Extremely sensitive users,
or users using very high doses (800-1200mgs) might find that stronger
anti-estrogens such as Letrozole or Exemestane are more suitable.
Androgenic side effects such as oily skin are also possible while taking
Testosterone.
Testosterone use will quickly shut down the body’s natural production
of the hormone, thus making a proper PCT plan essential for restoring
the body’s natural function and maintaining gains as best as possible
after use of the steroid has been discontinued. At cycle’s end,
bodybuilders often choose to use a combination of Clomid, Tamoxifen, and
HCG for a period of 3-4wks in order to restore pituitary gland and
testes operation quickly and effectively.
Woman bodybuilders often use testosterone to build mass, although of
course the dosage is significantly less than what males would use due to
the possibility of masculizing side effects.
The male bodybuilder’s dosage of this steroid would typically be in
500-1250mg per week range and cycle duration would be from 8-20 weeks,
depending of course on the goals of the athlete. Women typically see
desirable results from doses of 50-100mgs per week.
