Testosterone Propionate doses are a little confusing for some to plan. As a small/short ester based testosterone, Testosterone Propionate doses are typically lower than other common testosterone compounds. The Propionate ester takes up less mass in the compound compared to Cypionate or Enanthate, and as a result, there is more active testosterone on a per milligram basis. This does not change the potency or effectiveness of the hormone, but is something worth keeping in mind when planning out your dose. With this in mind, we want to look at Testosterone Propionate doses for all phases of use, and hopefully find the right dose for you.
Although it is not commonly prescribed for Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) it was at one time the dominant testosterone for this purpose. There are also some physicians who still prescribe it in some cases. In TRT plans, standard male Testosterone Propionate doses will normally be 25-50mg 2-3 times per week. However, 2 times per week can prove very inefficient due to the steroid’s very short activity time. Regardless of your Testosterone Propionate doses prescribed, you will find 3 days per week or an every other day schedule to be the most beneficial if stable peak levels are to be maintained.
For a true anabolic benefit, standard male Testosterone Propionate doses will normally begin at 100mg every other day giving the individual a 350mg per week average. Most healthy adult men should find this to be a very comfortable dosing that is very well-tolerated. Higher Testosterone Propionate doses can be used; it is not uncommon to find plans that call for 150-200mg every other day. However, such Testosterone Propionate doses will increase the risk of side effects, which must be kept in mind. Before such doses are attempted, you must have an understanding of adverse reactions, how to combat them and have some experience with high testosterone levels if you are to remain safe. Side effects can be controlled, but it will take some effort on your part. Testosterone Propionate doses above 200mg per day are rarely needed, but some men will attempt them. Once again, keep in mind this will increase the risk, and in this case, dramatically so. Most men will not need this much testosterone.
Regardless of your Testosterone Propionate doses, there is no set time frame of use. This compound can be used with equal success for long and short periods of time. Generally, most men will find 8 weeks of use to be the shortest amount of time for use, with 12 weeks being very commonplace. Hardcore cycles may call for periods of 16 weeks of use; however, more common would be a large ester base compound used for 8-12 weeks and then switching to Testosterone Propionate the final weeks. Regardless of your Testosterone Propionate doses, we will find this testosterone stacks well with any and all anabolic steroids. There is, however, no need to stack it with another testosterone compound. The exception would be if using a blend like Sustanon 250 that contains several testosterone compounds including Testosterone Propionate.
