The unusual feature of Propionat 100 (Testosterone Propionate) is that, unlike, for example, testosterone enanthate, which is so much loved by bodybuilders, it only minimally retains water in the body. By the way, this is why some pitching consider propionate to be ineffective. And in fact: it is difficult to gain 8 to 10 kg per month on it, although it is quite possible to do this with the help of the same testosterone enanthate or methandrostenolone.
However, experienced athletes find this property very valuable and actively use propionate in pre-competition training. The combination of propionate with one or more highly anabolic and low-androgenic steroids such as Winstrol or Primobolan contributes to the development of high-quality muscles and faster burning of subcutaneous fat. Moreover, it was noticed that these combinations are a classic example of synergism, when drugs that are not too potent alone become much more effective when used together.

Testosterone Propionate Cycle
Propionate is used both cutting and during the weight gain. Since this drug retains less water in the body than other testosterone esters, as well as helps burn fat, athletes use it mainly during drying.
Propionat 100 allows you to increase muscle mass, blocks catabolic effects, increases strength and improves body relief. Due to the fact that this drug retains water in small quantities, the increase in muscle mass occurs gradually and evenly, and the muscles themselves are sufficiently high quality and dry. Even a light solo cycle, for a period of 6-8 weeks, 50 mg every other day, will allow the beginner to gain 2-3 kg of high-quality meat.
When ingested, propionate is rapidly absorbed, raising the level of anabolic hormones in the blood. Literally 3-4 hours after the injection, you can feel vigor and a surge of strength. The maximum concentration in the blood of this drug accounts for 24-36 hours after injection.
However, propik also quickly reduces its activity. The period of its half-life is 1-2 days, so after the expiration of this period, the level of anabolic hormones will rapidly decrease. In this regard, the injection of Propionat 100 must be performed daily or every other day.
