Testosterone Suspension

In many ways, Testosterone Suspension is the most important anabolic steroid of all time. The testosterone hormone was the first hormone ever synthesized; simply pure testosterone with no ester attached. In the case of Testosterone Suspension, that’s exactly what we have; a testosterone compound with no ester attached. This was the testosterone compound used before the emergence of Testosterone Propionate, and for decades before the emergence of Testosterone Cypionate and Testosterone Enanthate.

The oldest synthetic testosterone model we have, the effects, traits and benefits of Testosterone Suspension are identical to all other forms. The largest difference will surround its fast acting nature, as there is no ester attached to affect its release time. This means those who use Testosterone Suspension will notice its effects very rapidly. With most testosterone compounds, it can take a few weeks for peak levels to be reached in a noticeable way that truly begins to show results, but with Testosterone Suspension it will only take a few days.

Without question, Testosterone Suspension carries with it a great deal of appeal, and while it’s still available it’s not one of the more popular testosterone compounds. Testosterone Suspension injections can be very painful due to this steroid typically being suspended in water, and then frequency must be considered. Carrying an active half-life of a little less than 24 hours, Testosterone Suspension must be injected daily, and in some cases, depending on need and desire twice a day. There’s hardly anyone who wants to inject anything on a daily basis, and when you consider the pain of such injections its no wonder this compound lacks in popularity. Even so, there are those who still use it and enough to keep it on the market, and it certainly offers some strong benefits.

Testosterone Suspension Basics:

Testosterone Suspension is a pure testosterone compound with nothing else added, meaning there is no ester attached. Due to the lacking of an ester, this means the basic testosterone traits will be displayed rapidly, but it also means the effects will wane quickly without constant administration. This makes Testosterone Suspension a poor choice for the purpose of therapeutic testosterone treatment, but it makes it an excellent choice for specific performance enhancement purposes.

Displaying the primary testosterone traits, Testosterone Suspension can be used for all cycles. However, it is normally reserved for bulking phases due to its ability to promote mass rapidly or to enhance athletic performance; more on athletic performance later on. Through supplementation, Testosterone Suspension will see the following traits enhanced:

  • Increased Rate of Protein Synthesis
  • Enhanced Nitrogen Retention
  • Inhibition of Glucocorticoid Hormones
  • Increased Levels of IGF-1
  • Increases in Red Blood Cell Count

These are the primary traits, and it is through these actions Testosterone Suspension will greatly increase muscle mass and strength as well as improve total muscular endurance. For fast acting results, there’s no testosterone compound that can match it; however, as we’ll see it’s not all sunshine and lollipops.

The Side Effects of Testosterone Suspension:

Testosterone Suspension aromatizes heavily; aromatization referring to the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. While this is the case with all testosterone compounds, estrogenic side effects can be harsh with this testosterone version due to its fast acting nature and resulting rapid estrogen buildup. The most common side effect will be water retention, and Testosterone Suspension can promote excess water retention unlike any testosterone compound imaginable. Further, this water retention can have a negative impact on blood pressure, which can also be negatively impacted by the compound’s overall androgenic activity to a degree. To make matters worse, the excess estrogen buildup can also lead to male breast enlargement or what is officially known as gynecomastia when the estrogen hormone binds to the receptors in the chest.

In order to combat such issues, most men will find the use of an Aromatase Inhibitor (AI) to be their best option. AI’s actively reduce the total amount of estrogen in the body, but more importantly they inhibit the aromatase process. This is the most effective way to prevent water retention, which will in turn protect from high blood pressure to a degree. Further, it is the strongest protection against gynecomastia; however, it’s not the only option. Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM’s) can also be used for this purpose by binding to the receptors in place of estrogen, but they’re not always strong enough. Those who are truly sensitive to gynecomastia will find an AI is their only saving grace.

AI’s are the most effective means against the primary side effects of Testosterone Suspension; unfortunately, they can have a negative impact on lipid profiles. The testosterone hormone itself can have a negative impact by lowering HDL cholesterol and increasing LDL cholesterol to a degree. This affect on lipids will normally be dose dependent as it pertains to testosterone, and can be controlled when using an AI so as long as healthy lifestyle choices are made and no underlying cholesterol condition exists.

Beyond the effects of an estrogenic nature, Testosterone Suspension carries several possible androgenic traits such as acne and hair loss. This is largely due to the testosterone hormone’s reduction into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and can be combated by using a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor such as Finasteride or Dutasteride. This will offer a great deal of hairline protection; however, it is unnecessary unless you are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. When it comes to acne, most men will be fine as long as they keep their skin extremely clean. The exception being those who are genetically sensitive to acne even without anabolic steroid use, and in such cases, stronger measures may be needed.

Testosterone Suspension Benefits:

For the off-season individual, the benefits of Testosterone Suspension are pretty straightforward, large buildups in mass in strength in record time. By keeping testosterone levels peaked in such a dramatic fashion, this will enable the individual to push harder and make more progress along the way. Of course, the same individual could use Testosterone Suspension during a cutting cycle to aid in low energy levels that often accompany a diet, and some do, but this is normally a more advanced technique. If it is to be used for this purpose, you will need a strong understanding as it pertains to controlling water retention, and it will normally take quite a few cycles to have a firm understanding.

Then there’s athletic performance, and Testosterone Suspension can be one of the best compounds to choose. If you’re a tested athlete, it’s the only testosterone compound that makes sense, as its detection time is only about three days. If you’re not a tested athlete, you can go with any testosterone compound you like; however, you may still benefit from Suspension due to the raw explosive power it can provide. For the tested athlete, in some cases athletes prefer relying on other steroids rather than testosterone, but they’ll still need some form of exogenous testosterone in order to combat testosterone suppression due to the use of other steroids. This makes Testosterone Suspension a great choice as it will keep your testosterone levels at a proper range, provide the explosive power you need, and as a bonus protect you in regards to detection times.
