    Default Testosterone Propionate, enanthate and Cypionate Myth vs Truth!

    Myth: Testosterone-Propionate is a cutting steroid.
    Truth: Testosterone-Propionate is a testosterone, the same as Testosterone-Enanthate, Testosterone-Cypionate or any other form you can find it is made up of pure testosterone; in that there is no difference. Testosterone-Propionate does not possess fat burning abilities absent other forms. It is true, when Testosterone-Propionate is used water retention will be of a slightly less concern but in the overall scheme , actual leanness and water retention are two very different things and are often coupled together inappropriately.

    Myth: You will not bloat with Testosterone-Propionate use.
    Truth: When you administer testosterone of any form it converts to estrogen via the aromatase process and this can lead to excess water retention; it does not matter which form you use, the process is inevitable regardless. However, Testosterone-Propionate has been shown to aromatize to a slightly lesser degree than other forms but only slightly and in the end the difference cannot be seen unless you are already extremely lean. Many people fail to recognize two important factors; with the use of a quality aromatase inhibitor excess bloating can largely be controlled, however, there is another very important factor to consider and it is the most important of all.

    If you are supplementing with Testosterone-Propionate and taking in excess carbohydrates you will bloat just the same as if you were using Testosterone-Cypionate or any other form. Granted, each and every person will vary in-terms of sensitivity but the truth remains the same.


    Myth: Testosterone-Propionate is not as powerful for bulking as long ester base forms.
    Truth: The active hormone testosterone is the same in all forms and the mode of action and its very nature is no different inTestosterone-Propionate than it is in Testosterone-Cypionate or any other form. However, this myth gets more ridiculous as on a milligram for milligram basis Testosterone-Propionate is stronger than other commonly used ester based testosterones. For example, 100mg of Testosterone-Propionate will yield approximately 83mg of testosterone, the rest of the total mass being comprised of the Propionate ester. Conversely, 100mg of Testosterone-Cypionate, because the Cypionate ester takes up more mass in the total compound will yield approximately 70mg of active testosterone per 100mg. Granted, you can receive the same dose of active testosterone by simply adjusting where needed but in the end the benefits and results will be the same with Testosterone-Propionate or any form assuming all things remain constant, i.e. dosing, duration of use, diet and training.
