Testosterone Cypionate

What is Testosterone Cypionate?

Testosterone Cypionate is one of the testosterone esters that is widely known for its frequent usage by athletes in either gaining muscle mass and improving their athletic performance, or for losing weight.

The substance is very effective, and still has high compatibility, therefore it is used both solo and in stacks with other steroids for more effective results.  

It is a slow-acting substance, so it is administered once a week. Experienced users who require an above average dose can divide it into two even doses. The standard cycle is 12 weeks long and will definitely provide you the desirable results and amazing effect.

In addition, Testosterone is often used by athletes to normalize and increase their testosterone levels, therefore it is used as a supporting hormonal compound. This often happens when combining a substance with other drugs in stacks, which just suppresses the Test's function.

Doctors often recommend this ester for TRT and HRT treatment, because it can be injected once a week and is a very smooth injection.

Testosterone Cypionate Benefits

Testosterone Cypionate, like any form of testosterone in general, has a number of benefits, due to which it is so popular and often used in bodybuilding. So, let's take a look at them:

• It increases protein synthesis, retains nitrogen, the hormone IGF-1 and provides an excellent anabolic effect to the body and promotes good muscle growth, fat loss and muscle endurance recovery - the main desired results for athletes.
• Boosts your performance and stamina. You have more strength for your reps in the gym and more motivation to work. You will not get tired so quickly, but on the contrary, you will increasingly notice that you want to work harder and harder.
• The number of blood cells in the body increases, which are responsible for the amount of oxygen and nutrients in the muscles. Muscles receive the necessary nutrients faster and better, because of which your indicators will grow more effectively.
• Your muscle definition will also become more visible, which will make you work even more.
• It helps burn fat while maintaining muscle mass. It is also important that the strength indicators will also remain in place, which will allow you to train in the same mode, and not feel more tired or lazy. This is a significant factor that makes Testosterone the preferred choice for your stack when you want to cut down without losing muscle volume and quality.

Remember, to achieve maximum results and the desired body, it is important not only to take the steroids and exercise, but also to follow the correct diet rich in amino acids and nutrients, sleep well and rest, and of course train and work hard. An integrated approach in this matter is the key to excellent fast results.

Testosterone Cypionate Dosage

Testosterone Cypionate is an oily solution that is injected intramuscularly into the gluteus muscle. Use 22g-25g syringes with needle 1-1.5 inch long for intramuscular injections. It should be taken 250-500mg per week for beginners and athletes who are re-cycling. More experienced athletes can use up to 1000mg per week.

If you have a large dosage of a substance, it is advisable to divide it into 2 equal injections per week. The cycle duration is 12 weeks. Substance usage up to 16 weeks is optimal.

Be sure to have a PCT a month after completing your cycle to maintain your results and avoid potential side effects.

Possible Side Effects and How to Avoid Them

Testosterone Cypionate is a useful drug in sports, which has high anabolic activity, but also high aromatase activity (that is, the conversion of testosterone to estrogen). This can cause:

• water retention
• gynecomastia
• increased blood pressure

If you experience any effect, use Letrozole or Arimidex to eliminate it.

Also, the substance has a tendency to convert testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which in turn can provoke the following:

• acne
• hair loss
• enlarged prostate

You can experience these effects only if you have genetic predisposition to them. If no one in your family had them, you shouldn’t worry. To prevent or get rid of these effects, use Finasteride (hair loss), Accutane (acne), HCG.

By taking antiestrogens or testosterone-stimulating drugs, you can avoid unwanted side effects. They will also help you prevent rollback effects or hormonal imbalances.
