Guys, I get asked a lot about what is the best testosterone, because we hear a lot about testosterone propionate that gives drier, smaller gains, whereas cypionate, enanthate, right, gives more bulky and less quality gains , so let's talk a a little bit about this here, what we see both in science and in practice, so click on I liked it, subscribe here on the channel. First, what are these testosterones right? What changes in them, at least in a more punctual, more assertive way?
We have there propionate, phenylpropionate, decanoate, enanthate, cypionate, isocaproate, and so on, and we even have other less common esters, such as phenylpropionate, etc. , or undecylenate. Well, these are called esters, and why is there such an ester, isn't it?
Because so, testosterone is testosterone, so what am I going to put an ester on? The ester will do, to say it very easily, ok? Create a cocoon in this testosterone.
Remember I'm talking pretty easy ok? So you take normal testosterone, ingest it, what's going to happen? When I say ingest, it doesn't mean that you will, it can also be right, we have the methylated that is oral testosterone, ready one more for the analysis here, and when you put this testosterone without anything, without methylation, without ester, without anything , we took the testosterone suspension and ordered it, it has an extremely fast half-life , a few hours.
So you are going to send a suspended testosterone, you would have to send it to maintain a stable plasma level, every two/three hours, so imagine waking up in the middle of the night, imagine doing a replacement with this type of testosterone, so the what? The ester, so we come and put it inside a cocoon, and inside that cocoon the body has to eat this wall, and then we have a more gradual release, we have harder cocoons and softer cocoons. So the technology here tried to make having a cocoon, let's put it this way, let's use this word to make it easier, harder or more academically suitable , a higher rigidity ester, making it possible to administer testosterone more sparingly, if before I had to consume it every two hours, three in three hours, with a cypionate ester, we have a greater spacing , being able to apply more or less there once a week.
And each ester adds a molecular weight, so for example: when you take a testosterone suspension, in one hundred milligrams we find one hundred milligrams of testosterone, when we take an ester, such as cypionate, it has a molecular weight of 15% more or less, so in one hundred milligrams we end up finding a little less testosterone, eighty- five, but calm down, you don't need to be syrupy and say: no, then wait, if I want to send five hundred milligrams and I use cypionate then I I have to use so many percent so I'm going to use 6. 33. .
. No, no, no, it doesn't need that exactness, throw rough dose because the body is not that mathematical. So with this use of testosterone with the ester, it's become more comfortable, so I can space it out more and stuff , but you've probably heard that Deposteron or Testosterone Cypionate, Cyclo-6 or Testosterone enanthate, Sustanon itself, which is a mix of testosterones, they have a higher fluid retention power than propionate or phenylpropionate, and where did this come from and to what extent is it true?
So come on, you understand that the ester is a cocoon and that it's not going to change the character of the substance, so it's still testosterone. Does this mean Leandro, that testosterone are all the same? Exactly, you will apply a testosterone regardless of what it is or take, it will raise your testosterone level and the answer is the same, the end.
Where did a long ester drug come from, you can see, cypionate, enanthate, Sustanon is a mix, right, but anyway, testosterone is more like a long ester than a short ester in practice, so where Did the staff take away that this will cause greater fluid retention? What happens guys, is that when you go to work, for example, let me do something stupid here, I'll guess something stupid: I'll work with two hundred milligrams of testosterone a week, when you, who are Deposteron, when you talk about Deposteron , normally what staff do? Apply the entire Deposteron.
Let's talk about propionate now? Leandrão, propionate has a shorter half-life, so because it has a shorter half-life, I fraction it every other day, there are people who take it every other day, but let's assume it's every other day. The week is seven days, I want two hundred milligrams, is that about twenty-seven, twenty-eight milligrams a day?
Something like that? Shall we round thirty? So I'm going to send sixty milligrams every other day more or less speaking, so I divided this and in total let's say it's the same here as me, the math must be all wrong, but you forgive me, I'm doing everything head, but let's assume two hundred milligrams of propionate, two hundred of cypionate, cypionate I take once a week and propionate I take every other day but the weekly total is the same.
The amount of testosterone I'm putting in with the propionate, in theory, right, there's the ester theory there and such, the molecular weight of the propionate is smaller, so it would even be a little higher, but let's not consider that, let's consider it which is the same, why does cypionate retain more fluid? You will say: because of the ester, it can only be, only the ester has changed, if testosterone is testosterone. So, but the ester doesn't.
. . the ester doesn't.
So what Leandro? If I apply this cypionate testosterone what will it do? Let's say I apply every Monday , on Monday it will be super low, right because it's the last day, on Monday I applied, on Tuesday it starts to rise, on Wednesday it peaks, it's more or less like that, okay ?
And then on Thursday it starts to drop in concentrations and goes down until the next application, which is Monday again, when this peak happens you have an aromatization process, so you convert some of the testosterone into estradiol, then this aromatization process will generate some fluid retention. In propionate what happens? You divide the applications and instead of having what we call a hormonal roller coaster, so look : I applied it on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, that is, you reach peaks, high and low moments when you apply it once a week, and at high you aromatize, because you have a lot of "testo" in your body.
In propionate it's already a more constant thing, so you don't have the low but you don't have the high either, that is, the aromatization tends to be a little lower, because the aromatization is a little lower you retain less liquid, but there's nothing to do with the ester itself , what happens is just this peak, if I took this cypionate and split it every other day like the propionate, the fluid retention would be reasonably the same. And then some people will say: it 's not because I've already taken this test. So, here 's the thing: let's get Deposteron, testosterone cypionate, it's a drug in the pharmacy that has much more fidelity and trust, then you get an "underground" propionate that doesn't have that milligram that promises, and it's not at sometimes not even the seller's fault, ok?
The seller is even well intentioned right, even though he is committing a crime he may have good intentions with you, but sometimes the salt comes wrong from China, something like that, I'm not saying that this always happens, but it does. So you apply less testosterone, so this comparison is not fair, you would need to be sure of the quality of the two products to compare. So the best testosterone, there is only one testosterone, the rest is ester, and then you will see the ester that is more convenient for you, there are people who prefer to apply more spaced, less spaced, for example, there are cycles that can be more advantageous for you use a short ester because you are already applying other short ester things, so you mix them all and tell you to avoid sometimes applications every day, it is better every other day, for sure, than sometimes three days in a row, yes one no, so you have to see what works best, but testosterone is testosterone, and the only fact of fluid retention is because of that.
But going back now to oral testosterone, which is methyltestosterone, it has liver metabolism. Leandro, but isn't it only the 17-alpha-alkylates that are metabolized in the liver? No, the methylated ones too, and that's why its use is a little more specific, but there are places that are cool, for example: there are strength athletes mainly, they want to give a lot of testosterone to train with very high testosterone and then decrease to have a higher yield or sometimes even on a competition day, as long as there is no doping, so he sends that testosterone suspension or that oral methyltestosterone to really give those, you know, three days of training but it's three days to burst, then the levels decrease, because living with a very high "testo" people who use anabolic steroids in very high doses know that it can be a little tormenting, anxiety, nervousness, so the guy leaves it for that moment.
So if you want to improve your workout performance and that's it, a testosterone suspension, an oral testosterone is more interesting. We have other types of testosterone, such as androgel, which is the testosterone gel that has a video here on the channel, but I'll leave you with this video here, which is about the testosterone implant, the testosterone chip, I even do it. the use, so I can give a little more faithful account.
Take a look here.
