I'm going to be switching(to compete this summer and not get busted) from enanthate to propionate and need to know if they are as powerfull gram for gram. I'm on 400mg of enanthate. How much propionate would be equal; and how frequent of injections? [This message has been edited by Kung-Fool (edited April 10, 2001).]     | ||

i would use 100mg/EOD of prop. Prop works very nicely for me and for drug testing also since it's very quick acting. | ||

The two are vary hard to compair because their half lives are so different...so I'm not even going to attempt to answer that question. I don think, however that you should up you dosage of enathate. How much depends on if you are stacking it with other substances. As a rule of thumb, I generally tend to believe that 500mg's is the minimum amount of enathate to take per week. | ||

Test is test, the name of the ester � for example, acetate, propionate, or enanthate � tells you how long a chain of carbons is in the ester. The longer the chain, the more the steroid ester tends to be dissolved in fat instead of water. This keeps it out of blood circulation a higher percentage of the time, and therefore the steroid is slower and longer acting. Acetate is the shortest ester, and the half-life will be several days shorter than for an enanthate ester. Propinate falls in the middle. So it isn't a matter of one being stonger, but rather, faster. If you compete, I am sure you know how much test you need in your system to grow so do the math - 2 day half-life for acetate, 4 days for propinate, 6 days for ethanate, to be on the conservative side. | ||

344 mg of propionate is equal to 401 mg of enanthate. Longer chains get some of their mg from the ester. This accounts for the difference. To go from one test to another, match your injection frequency based on half-lifes. Injecting X number of mg of test A every Y half-lifes of A is the same as injecting X number of mg of test B every Y half-lifes of B. I'm not sure the half lives of prop and enanthate but I think they are around 4 days and 9 days. | ||

Oops I'm a dumbass. Others have posted halflives above. |
All times are ET (US) | |
