Test Newbie Questions

[bodyman2003]

I was told when I joined there were no dumb questions lol. Im trying to get a grip on all the lingo. Can someone answer the following for me…
what does test e stand for?
what does test p stand for?
and test c? I assume this one is cypionate ?

and what are the differences in these?

I see there are even more but I don’t want to wear out my welcome :crazy_face:

Ethanate.propionate.

 

[John]

They are other esters like cypionate.

The difference between the 3 is the duration of time each ester of testosterone is active in the body.

Thanks Guys…that helps a lot.

 

[bodyman2003]

Another question… Why would one choose the C over the E or vise versa ? They look the same on the chart above

 

[AlmightyGL]

some ppl say they more/less bloat with either or. personally i dont find a difference in either but when on cycle i use enthanate only because i can find it dosed higher so it takes up less volume in each pin

Bro… you are like the the juice Wikipedia… lol

 

[TBU]

The difference is literally one carbon atom. Some say C is less PIP than E for that reason. It is cheaper to make C than E. My preference is E

 

[johnjuanb1]

Personal preference. I feel like test cyp hits harder than test enanthate. I feel happier on test cyp. I feel I look better on test cyp. My favorite though is sustanon which is a blend of 4 testosterone esters which act as a time release. Sustanon makes me look full and vascular with a great mood enhancement. It definitely hits the hardest.

 

[Stratfordave]

Ever TRT on sus? I haven’t… curious though of any benefit… I know most say… test is test

 

[bodyman2003]

Man that was awesome! Thanks for the post! Very very helpful

 

[bodyman2003]

Thanks Guys…sorry for the newbie questions. Im learning and hopeful will be able to add useful information at some point

 

[McSwickles]

All the info above is spot on, test c and test e are pretty interchangeable. There’s a very slight difference but I personally don’t notice a difference as far as results.

 

[BigDogg]

Cypionate is about 3% less testosterone than Enanthate. That’s about the only difference on paper. I’ve never noticed any difference with PIP or any sides.

 

[John]

Don’t apologize for the questions buddy

 

[johnjuanb1]

I do a self prescribed higher dose TRT on sustanon.

 

[bodyman2003]

thanks guys…appreciate it! Love this site

 

[Dutchpharma]

I prefer cyp or enth during TRT but love to blast by throwing in some shorter esters like prop, base, and some sust!
