Only Sust - plz dont ask why

[lV3GlVl4]

I need a fast response here guys.


Sustanon twice a week...so many say no no no, but is it still doable with decent results for a first cycle?


people say dont, the sides will be worse or youll waste the short esters..yet i read thread after thread about how guys ran 500 a week(sometimes with a frontload to get blood levels up quick) and had great gains with minimal sides and less bloat than cyp or enth....would this be worth my while to do with maybe a frontload...or does everyone say NO to twice weekly injections?


i need as many responses as possible. to anyone reading this, take aminute and add your 2c in. thx.

Sustanon has ,ultiple esters, so twice a week is not necessary I would do all 500 at once, oncve a week, then let the esters work thier magic, it is not gonna waste any if you do it twice a week but again each ester will run it length so qwhy not have the higher level of it all at once??, Didn't you post a article about Duchaine, he made comments about this very subject...

[preistfan]

Dave palumbo of MD, says that even with the multiple esters in sust you will still have some gaps in between each one kicking in. I think twice per week is perfect.

[huskerfolife]

id say twice. too many different types of esters.

yea he did bro, but forgive me if i dont take his opinion as the end all be all...LOL..if i did, im sure id be right where he is by now(RIP dan). And anyway, only a few responses here so far, and already you can see the conflicting opinions.

i know this topic has been beaten into the ground on the boards over the years, but i post in here bc for one thing, this is in real time, and accepted ideas are prone to change with new discovery and knowledge. and 2 i had to ask my bros here you know? I wanted this specific boards input. this is gonna be my maiden voyage so fk it, ill be a little redundant.

I think twice a week is fine.

[baddog]

Twice a week is fine. Ive found it still takes about a month to kick in good. I get less sides with sust. than cyp. or enth. even though they are all testosterone.

[lV3GlVl4]

I dont know who the original poster was for this article. this was on another board where a similar question was asked. its funny bc for all the horror he experienced, you have 5 other bros who jump up and say twice a week was fine and good gains with no sides. go figure. he makes a damn good point though.





Sustanon. Every BBer in the world knows the name. Every “noob” has to try it. But is it a good choice for BBers? Not really. Unless you know what you’re doing and even then you would likely have better and more stable results with less expensive and easier to maintain compounds. Let’s take a look at Sustanon.

Sustanon was originally designed and formulated by Organon as a timed-release compound used for androgen replacement for hypogonadic males, HRT, and all the other uses where androgens are indicated. The difference being that Sustanon (sustained release) was designed to be administered once per month. By combining multiple esters in such a way, starting with shorter chain molecules (propionate) and progressing to longer ones (decanoate), you can design a formula that takes effect almost immediately and releases it’s payload (testosterone) over a length of time.

So let’s look at the esters in Sustanon. Would anyone consider stacking two forms of esterified test in a single cycle? For example, would you combine propionate and enanthate? If so, how would you do it? Would you take 30mg or propionate every other day or twice a week along with 100mg of enanthate at the same time? Of course not! Well not only are you doing that with sust, but with FOUR esters, not just two. Testosterone is testosterone whether your body cleaves it from a short molecule or a long molecule. Many people still think that these different esters of the same organic compound are somehow different or “synergistic”. That’s almost like saying the caffeine in coffee is different than the caffeine in Pepsi. And if you stack coffee and Pepsi you’ll have a more pronounced effect or synergistic effect. There IS a difference but in only one regard and that is that you will get MORE raw test mg/mg with shorter esters than longer ones. The reason for this is simple. The larger the molecule, the more carbons are added which increases the total weight of the molecule. In short, more of the molecule’s weight is taken up by carbon and not testosterone. The additional carbon and occasionally oxygen atoms also increase the compound’s solubility and half-life but that is beyond this article. So what esters are we dealing with in Sustanon?

propionate 30mg (2 days)
phenylpropionate 30mg (4 days)
isocaproate 60mg (9 days)
decanoate 100mg (15 days)

In parenthesis, you see their approximate half lives. It is no coincidence that each ester is roughly twice the quantity of the one before it nor is it coincidental that each half life is approx. double the length of the one before it. Still beyond this article. Moving on…

I decided to experiment with Sustanon after receiving a fairly large quantity. Even though I had plenty, I was still thinking greedily and wanted to get the most out of my testosterone dollar. I started with the twice-a-week approach. A month later, I had no gains, a bad flu, and had used almost 20 amps (1ml) at 250mg/ml. I wanted to know what had gone wrong. It didn’t take long to figure out. During the first week, all that had taken effect was the prop and phenylprop. And 120mg total (out of 500mg) is all that my system saw. That’s about enough to suppress the axis but that’s it. Throw two amps in the trash. The second week, probably not much different and had used 4 amps (1000mg). By the third week I had the flu. Not exactly a surprise with all the HPTA suppression and unstable test levels. Most people have heard of the “sust flu”? Well, there you go. I was beginning to plan a PCT regimen when it dawned on me… I’m not getting enough STABLE, high levels of testosterone! So not long after that I moved everything to the all to common every-other-day (EOD) approach. Don’t get me wrong, I started noticing results but then again, who wouldn’t? This is a shotgun approach! If you had propionate and enanthate would you just keep dosing until something worked? No. You wouldn’t. The idea there is to just keep shooting the stuff and “one of them esters” will eventually work. Personally, I don’t like this approach. I think we can do much better. After all, don’t we owe it to Organon to abuse their product properly? SO… how well did it work? I’d have 3 good days, followed by 3 bad days. I was emotional. I wanted to sleep all the time. I had a runny nose. Two different blood tests during this time proved that I had almost twice the free test in my system as the blood test a week later. By this point, my great buy was turning into a great waste. I took 2 months off, did a fairly aggressive PCT and started planning my next cycle.

Here is where it seemed to all come together. I decided to try taking Sustanon as Organon intended, but in BBer amounts. This meant using it less frequently but using larger doses. Using it as a SUSTained-release product. Again, being greedy like I am, I didn’t want to waste the propionate in the Sust so I scheduled the entire cycle dosage amounts based on what I would take if I was doing a propionate-only cycle. This meant 4 amps or 1000mgs. That gave me a starting dose of 120mg propionate (30mg x 4) and instead of taking the next dose of propionate, I knew I could just relax knowing that as the propionate fell off, the phenylpropionate would begin and as the phenylpropionate fell off, the isocaproate would begin, etc, etc. This worked phenomenal and I began the cycle figuring on every two weeks (one decanoate half life). In reality, I played with this until I found a sweet spot of 8 days (approx. half of a half life). This gave me testosterone levels that remained stable throughout the cycle and at levels that were good for the results I wanted. You may need to adjust this time period to suit your physiology.

Conclusion: If I were to ever use Sustanon in a cycle again, which I doubt since there are less expensive, more stable compounds available, I would use it as intended in BBer amounts. I would do 1000-1500mg once every 8 days. This would allow for it to take immediate effect and with a few additional amps of propionate, you could use it with predictable stability right up until a few days before starting PCT. This dosing regimen, in my opinion, combined with equipoise or nandrolone would be a very productive cycle. Given the choice, I would still stick with enanthate. The injections are usually painless, the stability is high, the half life is fairly long. If you don’t mind EOD injects then prop or phenylprop would also be better choices than Sustanon in my opinion. Especially phenylprop. You would likely have to compound this yourself though as I haven’t seen this ester alone very often except in the case of nandrolone phenylprop (fast-acting deca).

I have guys that buy nothing but Sust250- inject 2 times a week and get very nice results. Some may say it is a newbie AAS- but it is effective and it takes some of the guess work out on stacking test.. with 4 esters- you cant go wrong.

The first cycle I ever did(back in `99) was a sustanon cycle. I did 250mg EOD(Mon,Wed,Fri) and I got awesome results. I put on 30lbs in a 10 week cycle. Twice a week is ok but I think you wont get the max results because some of the esters have short half lives.
