TESTOSTERONE ENANTHATE is an oil based solution for IM injection including those of short, intermediate, and long half-lives. Serum testosterone will rapidly increase within 24 hours of IM administration and remain elevated for 7 – 10 days.
Testosterone Enanthate 250 is suitable for the treatment of hypogonadism and other disorders related to androgen deficiency. Testosterone Enanthate 250 has both anabolic and androgenic effects. Testosterone supplementation has been demonstrated to increase strength and growth of new muscle tissue, frequently with increases in libido.

Testosterone is the king of all mass builders and for this purpose is also fairly cost effective. It works well either alone or stacked to create a great bulking cycle. It has a high risk of side effects due to its conversion to DHT and has the potential to form estrogen, causing gynecomastia. These characteristics also cause it to have such excellent mass building tendencies. Due to some other side effects, such as water retention, it may not be the best used alone for lean mass gains, but with bulking comes the addition of a lot of muscle as well as some gains in fat and water weight. This is typical and a natural part of the enhanced bodybuilder’s bulking regiment.
Testosterone enanthate is a long lasting single ester steroid. It is 7 carbons in length. What this means, is that more of the weight of the steroid is testosterone as opposed to ester weight. When taking a quantity of an esterified steroid, the total weight is a combination of both the ester weight and the steroid. That said, longer esters such as cypionate have more ester weight (due to it’s 8 carbon length), and less overall steroid weight. For this reason, enanthate would be preferred over cypionate. Sustanon has even more steroid weight.
500 mg of enanthate has more free based testosterone than 500 mg of cypionate and 500 mg of sustanon has more than either. However, due to the irregular release of sustanon and the need to inject more frequently to take full advantage of the propionate and phenylpropionate esters and thereby make full release of the steroid itself, either enanthate or cypionate will be better choices for the first time user, who will likely want to maintain stable blood levels of the steroid while minimizing injection frequency.
A long acting testosterone ester will be very helpful for your bulking needs, and enanthate is a product which is more simple than some of the other steroids out there. Not to say it is without its share of complications, but it’s a good choice, especially for those new to enhanced bodybuilding. Discontinuing the product is not an option in case side effects occur, because it will continue to aggravate these side effects over extended periods of time due to the long length of action of this steroid (3-4 weeks). Ancillary drugs such as nolvadex, proviron, clomid and HCG may help, both during cycle and post cycle to help restore natural testosterone production. Testosterone enanthate does aromatize slightly more than sustanon, but when using either drug, one should be familiar with anti-estrogens such as nolvadex or clomid and use one of them when symptoms of gyno occur.
Those who have prostate problems or those who are sensitive to gyno (for example, those who developed a case of gyno during puberty), and those who are sensitive to female pattern fat deposits will want to ensure anti-estrogens are on hand during cycle in case gyno related side effects arise. As a general rule of thumb, you will always want to keep nolvadex on hand – but obviously, it is even more important if the risks of these side effects are higher than normal (depending on the user and his or her genetic predisposition).
Like any other testosterone, enanthate suppressed HPTA function. Clomid or nolvadex are important to have post cycle to stimulate normal testosterone function within a reasonable amount of time. You may also want to use HCG during your cycle, but this is matter of personal preference, as many feel they will be able to recover post cycle and don’t feel the benefit of HCG is worth the cost. Normalization of natural functions which were suppressed during cycle and testosterone production usually occur without the use of HCG, but at a slower rate than if it was used. Like anything in life, there is no guarantee of full recovery, but it would be a rare case if it did not happen.
Injection information:
Weekly totals of 250-1000mg weekly are frequently used, and sometimes more for the highly advanced athlete. Due to the relatively long half life of enanthate (4-5 days), injections are usually administered twice per week. This will allow stable blood levels to be maintained. When the level of steroid tapers down, a new injection is made, keeping everything fairly level. This is unlike sustanon, which requires more frequent injections for the same effect. For a first cycle, 500mg alone of testosterone enanthate, shot two times weekly (Monday and Thursday for example), for 10 weeks along with standard post cycle therapy would be very sufficient for good gains.
Side effects:
Side effects such as water retention usually occur when using testosterone enanthate. Gyno, increased rate of hair growth, back acne, increased blood pressure, and aggressiveness, both in the gym and out, are possible when using enanthate. The liver is accustomed to processing testosterone, so liver toxicity is normally not a concern except at extremely high doses.
Stacking and use:
As the best mass builder available, testosterone stacks well virtually everything and can also be used alone with high levels of success. Due to the longer half life of testosterone enanthate, a dose of 500mg per week can be used for the first time user for a period of 10 weeks with very good results. Stacking oral steroids on a first cycle is generally considered uneccessary, because it is impossible to gauge your body’s responsiveness to the individual steroids being used and determine which ones cause which side effects. For the more advanced athlete, doses of 500-1000mg of enanthate are also excellent for creating clear results within a 10 week period. More advanced athletes will often stack testosterone with dianabol, deca-durabolin, primobolan or equipose to create a powerful mass building stack.
All testosterones aromatize, and enanthate is no exception. The steroid user should be familiar with anti-estrogen compounds such as nolvadex and clomid and keep them on hand during cycle in case symptoms of gyno arise. Increases in water weight and fat weight should be expected, and the possibilities of gyno are always out there when using enanthate.
Standard post cycle therapy consisting of either nolvadex or clomid should take place after the cycle is over.
