Therapeutic (ish) Dose of Testosterone Propionate ?

Gentlemen:

I am about to do my full Ironman race, and have been training very intensely for the past 5 months. Very long distance training in all my events - swimming, biking and running. All that I have been running is 2 iu of hGH per day for the past 4 months. I have leaned up nicely and look much more muscular than my non-enhanced counterparts doing the same training. (generic blue tops, shout out to Blaster, I have to clip my finger nails once per week and go in for haircuts every two weeks, vivd dreams, etc.)

My point/need is that I am sure with all the training that I am low on testosterone. I absolutely do not want to bulk up. I know that sounds crazy to y'all, but every pound I gain is more power I need to exert to finish. That being said, I also need testosterone to keep me feeling well, and to repair the muscles I am working. My weight is 200-205 and height is 6'-3". I will diet down over the next 3 weeks to be at around 195, maybe 190 if I can for race day. This makes water retention something I absolutely need to stay away from. Age is 42, so I would probably need test even if I wasn't training heavily.

What ester and dosage would y'all recommend? Prop at 50-75mg twice per week? I would love to do a once a week only shot, but I can't afford the ester being very long and the accompanying water retention.

Anticipated thanks!

Ironman contest.Thats one tough ass sport! as for your question.,Test Prop is a ED or EOD shot,so once a week will do nothing for you.You should consider a long ester Test like Cypronate or Ethanate where you can take a once a week shot.
With a low dose say 200mg week,you shouldnt expect much water gain,very little.but you can take a AI like Adex to minimize that side effect.Good Luck in your Contest brother!

Is this a Tested event?
Which would require u too use a fast ester to be out of ur body for testing?

The only folks that will be tested in this event are going to be pros. I am no where near being fast enough to be a pro. The only other way I might get tested is if I qualify for a slot to go to the world championships in Kona Hawaii. There again, it aint gonna happen for me on this one. Thanks for the replies, tho!

Do any of you see any phenylpropionate esters on Test floating around these days?

That Ironman world championship in Hawaii is for the Best of the Best.If your at that Level you pretty much a Pro and i think you'd be tested for PED's.I know those Endurence Sport's will eat away @ your muscle's for energy,so adding alittle Test will prevent any of that from happening.There's sponsors that have PhenylP Test.I like that mid ester Test myself.That would be a good chose.

I started my TRT in my early forties . I can tell you 200mg Test C was prescribed dosage . I was also prescribed .5 Armidex EOD . 500iu HCG/week . This was clinic that charged $195/month W/O meds or testing .
This gave me Test levels equal to a 20 year old man . I tried Sustanon and added mass . Might have been the 50mg extra Test , Sustanon only come in 250mg and I couldn't waste .2 ml .
In your situation I would recommend Sustanon @ .8/week . That is 200mg .
Goodluck in the Ironman contest
