Generic Name:
testosterone
cypionate
Testosterone cypionate is a
long acting ester of testosterone
which is increasingly difficult to
find.Before the
scheduling of
anabolics in the U.S., this
was
the
most common form of testosterone available to athletes.
Cyp had gained a reputation as being slightly stronger than enanthate
and
became the testosterone of choice for many. Now that anabolics
are
controlled,
this
is an almost
impossible find.
In general, the only
versions you'll find on the black
market are Sten
from Mexico, which contains 75mg cyp with 25
mg propionate along with some
DHEA,
and
Testex
from Leo in Spain which contains 250mg cypionate is
a light resistant ampule. All
versions
of Upjohn and
Steris
in multi-dose vials should be
looked at
with extreme caution as they are very
difficult to
get on the black market. Counterfeits are quite easy to obtain.
Real Steris
products have
the inking
STAMPED into the
box and the
labels cannot be removed from the bottle. Any variation of
that is definitely counterfeit. A running
dosage of test
cypionate is generally
in the range of
200-600mg per week. When this was available for $20 per10ml
bottle, many
users would take a whopping 2000mg per week.
This
kind
of dosage however,
is unsafe, generally not
needed and in today's
day and age
too costly.

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 10cc 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. Cypionate can still be found
on the
black market in good volume.
