Sustanon...not the best choice
Sust is a blend of several test esters. Its generally used as HRT as the different blends of test release at different times allowing for less frequent injections. This however doesn't suit bbing purposes very well as the long clear time for the longer esters make for a hard PCT and recovery and you don't know if your coming or going (building up on deconate whilst coming down from prop...) I'd only recomend it as a lead in to a cycle as an EOD inject for the first 2 weeks of a cycle with longer esters (eg weeks 1-2 EOD 250mg Sust, weeks 3-12 Test enanth)
Agreed, and very well put.
Sust should be used to front if you can't find prop. Not a fan of sust at all, run enan and front sust like p-mo suggested. If not, your test levels will continue to jump around...and you want them constant. Sust will not help here, thus it's the main reason BB don't use it (too many esters).
Sustanon is mainly used in testosterone replacement therapy for male sexual problems for example:
* after castration or a similar problem called eunuchoidism
* impotence caused by hormonal disorders
* decreased sex drive
* infertility caused by low sperm count
* bone loss caused by low hormone levels
* when the pituitary gland cannot work as well as it should (hypopituitarism); this can cause decreased sexual ability in males.
It is also given to patients to induce masculinisation in female-to-male transsexuals.
For one, it's a pain because you have to hit it ED or EOD because of the short acting esters (prop). Where as with enanthate, you could get away with 1 or 2 shots a week. And second, it takes over 4 months to clear sust from your system, so recovery will be much more intense and difficult. You won't begin to recover natural HPTA function until months after your last shot with sustanon.
If you are going to be pinning ED/EOD I would much rather use prop. And for BB purposes, having 4 different esters is not to our advantage.
Take a look at this article, might shed some light.

Also, run a search about the "sustanon flu". Some may call it a myth, but it made me feel like shit at times. Men have reported: cases of impotence, chronic priapism, epididymitis, inhibition of testicular function, oligospermia, and bladder irritability. Some people that take Sustanon 250 have reported "flu like" symptoms as well. These symptoms include a higher than normal fever, stomach aches, being tired, etc.
When I tried sustanon on a heavy dose, I felt really groggy and I did get stomach pains. I would get "pumps" at random times, the pump feel you want at the gym, I would sometimes get it before bed. Not fun. I almost felt like I had an ulcer using this stuff. Some, have had no problems at all with it. We all react differently to different substances.
There are many articles floating around out there that can further explain why sust is not the best choice of test to use.
