Any issue with running Test P for first cycle?

I have done my research on this site and got a ton of info from Nightmares post. I have a question though. I only have access to Test P. Would there be any reason I can run this for my first cycle? I realize I would be pinning g more often but any other reason why I couldn't run this instead of Test E? Also would I be pinning EOD with P?

I actually like the thought of running a short ester as.it allows me to tweak my dose if I need to.

Thanks
 
To answer your last question first, yes. Yes, you will be injecting the testosterone propionate.

From what I have gathered so far (and please wait for others to chime in before doing ANYTHING - I am very new but have read a lot, so I could be wrong), the suspension in which the Test is found is irrelevant to its effect; the suspension simply controls how fast the Test is absorbed by the body (aka, its half-life). Test-E and Test-C are loved due to them having a very convenient half-life, so after 7 days the body has absorbed half the amount you injected and half remains. In another 7 days, it has absorbed half of what is left and a quarter of what you injected remains. If you graph our each injection, you will see how long it takes for the body to reach a more or less steady state where it is always absorbing about the same amount. Most people inject at half the half-life length to aid in reaching that steady state faster and keep the rise and fall in the amount of Test far smoother.

So if you do Test-P, you will have to both inject more often AND reduce the amount you inject accordingly. Articles on this site who Test-P has a 4 day half-life, so most people would inject every other day. Many on this site say not to go above 150mg a week to start with until you know how your body is going to react. The way to know how it reacts is through blood tests - GET THEM!. So if you are going to take 150mg per week, and inject every other day, you would be injecting 42.86mg every other day. Rounding down to 42mg gives you 147mg a week and rounding up gives you 150.5. Personally, I would round down to be on the safe side.

This is a ridiculously long and convoluted answer to a simple question. There is no issue with running testosterone propionate for your first cycle. Pin M/W/F. Happy days.
 
I run 100 mg of test p every day and have never had a problem.its still test only problem is if you don't like stickin yourself alot the you should probably go to a long ester.

Cool answer :agreed: The pinning for first go might be intense but you do it with small gauge 25G
5/8" and rotation.
But you need 100mg min with each pin, to get a useful dosage. Good luck this is a Simple question and I do appreciate cybrsage's attempt at the science behind his answer. It was not needed but so ok. But I always try to keep it simple. THanks....OMM
 
Pin M/W/F. Happy days.

Happy Days is every day of the week, not just M/W/F:

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days,
Thursday, Friday, Happy Days,
The weekend comes, the cycle hums
Ready to race to you


:)



But yeah, I tend to describe everything behind the answer when it is given...mostly because that is how I learn.

Wouldn't that make 300mg a week then?

Yes, my mistake I wasn't thinking because when I do prop I do 100mgs ED with test E running the base. That's not for you to do. Sorry I didn't think it out for you :wavey:

LOL I think you're a strange guy Ha, so most think I'm crazy. Are you like the guy in your Av? Huh?
 
you can inject 1.5ml eod( as rastas said m/w/f) it would give you 400mg a week. good luck on ur cycle bro


EOD @ 1.5ml (dosed at 100mg/ml) would come out to be 525mg/week of Test Prop. That's a solid dose.

M/W/F @ 1.5ml (dosed at 100mg/ml) would come out to be 450mg/week. Still a fair amount.

I think you are crazy too - so you must be. But yes, I am a strange guy, so you nailed that one. :) I actually stole that guy off this website, but I am not nearly that thin...though I would be happier if I had his body fat percentage along with my current muscle mass. I posted a pic of me in another thread when someone asked the same basic question. Maybe it is time I shifted to an actual picture of me. lol
