It's been about ten years since I have used steroids.

Question I have is, can I expect to see anything noticeable from it? I'm just looking for a little extra strength, a little loss of some fat. I'm already in good shape as I workout 4 days a week. Take the usual... Whey, creatine, N.O., HMB, rhodila Rh, boron.

I'm 37 yrs old, 178 lb, 13.7% BF.

So I'm trying to figure out how much if any noticeable effects 200 mg of T cypionate might offer, thanks.
 
Upon research, I've read a couple different times that the half life difference is negligible.

Cyp has one extra carbon in its ester chain so its halflife is like part of a day or so longer.
 
What I'm trying to figure out is... Will this type of test and dosage(200 mg) for somebody who has not used anabolics in over ten years do anything noticeable?

I'm not looking to get huge... I'm 37, 6 foot, 178 lbs.. I'm mostly looking to get harder and leaner with strength.

Thx again!
 
It's most likely going to be higher than your normal Test levels, resulting in a difference in physical performance, but if you're looking for a more drastic difference, I'd go with at least 300mg Per week.

You might want to be a little more specific about your goals. Include your body fat%.
 
I'm 6 foot, 178, 13 % bf. I'm looking to add a little mass on my legs and mostly looking to get even
 
You want to add lean muscle then. You also want to see noticeable improvements. Go with 500mg/week.

At 6 foot training 4 times a week and only 178lbs: Your doing something wrong, either your diet and/or training methodology isn't up to scratch..

After subtracting the ester weight of Cypionate you are left with about 140mg of hormone, Cypionate half-lives at about 6 days, so you'll get about 70mg in the first 6 days, after 4 half-lives or 24 days pinning every 6th day maximal blood concentrations should be reached (about 130mg every 6 days)... that's about 2-3 X what an average male produces a week... Although natural test production will be reduced..

So in answer to your question: Yes you may see some gains, but if you increased to 375-500mg/week you'd see more, especially if you had your diet and training on track..
 
I used cypionate for two years. Bloodtests showed that my testosterone was in the bottom of the "normal"range so a doctor gave me the injections to get me at the top and a bit over that "normal" range. It made me feel fantastic. I cannot stress enough how massive it impacted how I felt physically. BUT it also made me a totally asshole. I was emotionally super sensitive too. It was like being a 200lb teenager but with more money and no parents to control me. Physically I got in very good shape (Had to work out constantly people. Not magic) and my recovery times were almost nil. Then, from hypertension, I found myself riding in an ambulance twice due to atrial fibrilation. So unfair. I completely dropped the injections cold turkey and my episodes reduced over time. If I knew of a steroid that would crank up my aggression I would buy it immediately but no one knows what to tell on that one. OH and I was a complete hound with women. I think that played into the aggression aspect the compound had on me. Good luck!

These symptoms are probably not how everyone responds to cypionate. I am just telling you how it effected me. Good luck.
