Testosterone suspension is
an injectable preparation containing testosterone (no ester) in a water
base. Since testosterone is not highly water soluble, the steroid will
noticeably separate from the solution when the vial is left to sit. A
quick shake will temporarily place the drug back into suspension, so that
the withdrawn dosage should always be consistent. Many reference materials
have not given Testosterone suspension the proper credit, stating it to be
a very crude and ineffective product. Although it may contain testosterone
without the benefit of an ester, the micro- crystal design of this
injectable will in fact sustain an elevated testosterone release for 2-3
days. Testosterone suspension we see today is clearly not the basic water
plus testosterone design used in the 1940's. And since the drug will not
leave circulation in a matter of hours, it is obviously useful. This is
not news to the many Americans bodybuilders who have had a chance to
experiment with Testosterone suspension, and regard it very highly.
Among bodybuilders,
Testosterone suspension
is known to be an extremely potent mass agent. Most often
Testosterone suspension
is ranked as the most powerful injectable steroid available, producing an
incredibly rapid gain of muscle mass and strength. This is largely due to
the very fast action of
Testosterone suspension,
as the water-based steroid will begin to enter the blood stream almost
immediately after an injection is given. When using a slow acting oil
based steroid like Sustanon, it can take weeks
before a peak testosterone level is reached. With
Testosterone suspension
it is just a matter of days. This will usually result in the athlete
noticing a size and strength gain by the end of the first week. By the
time the athlete is 30 days into a cycle of suspension, the length it will
usually take for a Sustanon cycle to really
begin to work consistently, the mass gains are already (generally) very
extreme. Clearly the anabolic effect of this testosterone will be realized
much more quickly than we would expect with an oil based (esterified)
preparation.
It
is also important to remember that 100 mg of a testosterone ester is not
equivalent to 100 mg testosterone of pure testosterone (as in suspension).
When an ester is present, its weight is obviously included in the
preparation's milligram total. Looking at
Testosterone
enanthate, 100 mg of this compound equates to only 72 mg of raw
testosterone. So the bodybuilder who uses 400 mg of enanthate weekly is
really getting about 288 mg of testosterone into his body each week. This
is clearly a great increase over the endogenous testosterone level of the
average male, which is in the range of 2.5 to 11 mg per day. But the
general point is that during a cycle of Testosterone suspension we will
often see a much more dramatic intake of testosterone on average than is
typically utilized with oils. Following common advice, the athlete will
commonly inject a full 100 mg of testosterone daily, a total of 700
milligrams per week. This is up to 40 times the amount produced by a
normal male. Those who have attempted such a cycle are rarely disappointed
with the results, as such heavy doses of this hormone will produce nothing
less than a dramatic weight gain.
The
most popular practice with Testosterone suspension is to inject the drug
at least every two or three days. The dosage will vary greatly depending
on the needs of the individual, but is most often in the range of 50 mg to
300 mg per shot. Athletes looking to achieve an extremely rapid bulk gain
will inject the already mentioned dose of 100 mg daily. In most cases this
cycle can be amazing, the user seeming to just "inflate" with bloated
muscle mass in a short period of time. Although this drug does require a
frequent injection schedule, it will pass through a needle as fine as 27
gauge (insulin). This allows the user more available injection sites,
hitting the smaller muscle groups such as the deltoid, triceps and calves.
Although some users do complain about discomfort when injecting
water-based steroids, it has been my experience that Testosterone
suspension is generally well tolerated. In fact many bodybuilders find the
speed of drawing and administering a water based solution to be quite a
welcome change from oils, which as you know can be a lengthy procedure.
As
would be expected with a strong androgen, Testosterone suspension can
produce a number of unwelcome side effects. For starters, with a
testosterone product we will expect to see a high rate of estrogen
conversion. Estrogen levels in fact build very quickly with Testosterone
suspension,
which is actually reputed to be the worst testosterone to use when wishing
to avoid water bloat. Gynecomastia can also develop very rapidly during a
cycle, and in many cases this drug will be intolerable without
additionally taking an antiestrogen. A combination of
Nolvadex and Proviron is an effective way
to avoid experiencing such side effects, and is often taken from the onset
of a cycle in order to prevent such occurrences before they become a
problem. Sensitive individuals may find an investment in the antiaromatase
Arimidex to be wiser. While this drug is very costly, it is also much
more effective at controlling estrogen than the other agents which are
currently being used by athletes. If there were ever a time to justify
this expense, it would certainly be with a drug like Testosterone
suspension. It
is also important that the athlete monitor blood pressure and kidney
functions closely during a heavy cycle, a trouble area as water retention
becomes more pronounced. Although testosterone puts very little strain on
the liver, Testosterone suspension can
be harsh to the kidneys as the dosage increases. Of course if the athlete
is encountering noticeably high blood pressure or trouble urinating (pain
or darkening of the urine), the cycle should probably be discontinued and
the doctor paid a visit.
Conversion to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) will of course potentate the
action of testosterone in certain tissues. One can therefore expect to
endure oily skin, acne, increased aggression and body/facial hair growth
during a typical cycle. Proscar may be a
requirement for those with a familial predisposition for male pattern hair
loss, as suspension is known to aggravate this condition quite easily. Men
with an existing hair loss problem may actually prefer stay far away from
this steroid altogether, finding it to be just to strong an item to take
risks with. The slower acting oil based injectables like
Testosterone propionate and Sustanon would
be a much better place to start experimenting if the individual still
desires the power of an injectable testosterone.
Also, endogenous testosterone production will be quickly and efficiently
reduced when using Testosterone suspension. This can often reach the point
of severe testicular shrinkage (atrophy). Some athletes will periodically
take testosterone stimulating drugs like Clomid,
Nolvadex, or HCG while on a cycle, in order to
keep this effect to a minimum. Even if no such drug is used during, a
combination of
HCG and Clomid/Nolvadex
should always be used as the cycle is discontinued. When used correctly,
this procedure should be very effective at stimulating natural production,
hopefully allowing the athlete to avoid a post-cycle crash. It is
important to mention that in addition to stimulating the release of
testosterone, HCG also acts to enhance the rate of
aromatization in the testes. The risk for enhanced estrogen buildup makes
concurrent anti-estrogen use very important, especially when the athlete
had been taking large doses of testosterone. So as to keep potential
health risks to a minimum (heavy water retention can take its toil),
cautious athletes will also limit a cycle of this compound to no longer
than eight weeks.
Overall, Testosterone suspension is an extremely powerful drug, but also
one that is prone to causing many uncomfortable side effects. Those
looking for only a potent mass agent need not look for a better
substitute; this product will certainly do the trick. But those athletes
who want not just quantity but quality are likely to be disappointed with
suspension, as the muscle mass gain is not going to be a hard, dense one.
In fact the user must constantly fight fat and water bloat when building
his new physique, and will often seek the benefit of cutting agents soon
afterwards. The only exception to this would be cases where the drug is
used for very short periods of time (pre-contest), to rapidly raise the
androgen level and harden up the body. When estrogen is not given time to
wreak its havoc on the physique, the rapid androgen increase can certainly
be beneficial. Of course it will only take a few days for the
androgen/estrogen ratio to shift back in an unfavorable direction.
