Test Propionate Cycle, Help Needed

Hey all,

I am looking to start a Test Propionate cycle after 4 years lay-off from bodybuilding. Prior to the lay-off, I have several cycles done under my belt but can never be too careful with every cycle and thus, I am hoping to get inputs from the experienced users here.

A little background info prior to my lay-off, what caused my lay-off and etc:

First cycle done 4 years ago was Test Enanthate with 4 weeks of Dbol as a kickstart. Had massive gains and this is where the problem started. I was obsessed with the results, not wanting to come off in fear of losing some muscles, losing the muscle fullness and strength - I started dosing more and ran back to back cycles for almost a year. Test E & Dbol, Test-P & Winstrol, Sustanon, Deca & Anadrol, Test Prop & Tren Ace while running HCG.

I started to break out heavily on my face, neck and arms - which took a toll on my self-confidence. Not wanting to leave the house and etc. I stopped training. Lost everything over a couple of months.

Did blood works and thankfully, everything came back fine. Went for laser treatments etc for my face and spent a huge amount on treatment - 4 years later, I am back to training and would like to start a proper Test Prop cycle with self-control, proper dosing and knowledge.

Right now, I would like to run Test Propionate at 100mg EOD along with 0.25mg Arimidex EOD to control possible estrogen sides. Acne and bloating.

Will 100mg of Test Prop EOD break me out on my face? I do understand that pimples and acne are highly genetic and I strongly believe that I broke out on cycle 4 years ago was due to heavy dosage, improper dosing that was not constant.
4 years off AAS, I don’t suffer from bad acne but I do have occasional spots here and there & do have bad skin days too.

Do you guys think that 100mg Test Prop EOD will break me out? And how was your experience on Test Prop in terms of acne wise?

Won’t really know til you try it. I don’t think the Adex is necessary unless you have a problem. Keep it on hand just in case but I wouldn’t make it a part of my normal cycle. Just as needed.

“Adex to control potential estrogen sides. Don’t medicate for something that hasn’t happened. You very well could run your test P at that dosage with zero need for Adex. Great to have on hand, but don’t prematurely take it.

Don’t get carried away this time. Take it slow, do it right, stick to a plan and run your PCT and take time off after this cycle.

Everyone’s body is different when it comes to acne. I break out bad when I come off during PCT and afterwards.

I usually only breakout when I start a test enanthate cycle or when I came off and PCT’d before I switched to B&C. While on a test enanthate cycle when my levels had evened out I usually had fairly clear skin. The only time I would break out the whole cycle was when I used test propionate. I would get a bunch of little white heads basically from chest up. Now I only used one brand of test prop so that could have something to do with it. When I use to use premade steroids from UGLs the test enanthate came from a different source than the prop. When I switched to homebrew I noticed I was breaking a whole lot less than with the UGL enanthate. What I am getting at is it might not necessarily be steroids that made you break out. It might be the way the UGL is brewing or it could be that a certain ester started it and then anything else you took just kept you breaking out.

As far as keeping the break outs down while on cycle or whenever I have found that getting cotton balls or pad then dousing them with running alcohol makes a good wipe. Just wipe down everywhere that breaks out with that soaked cotton ball. When I do it the ball is almost this dingy yellowish brownish oily thing when I am done. It helps!

FYI that arimidex dosage is really high like tank your estrogen in two doses high. Really with prop and how quickly it is in and out of the system our bodies just don’t seem to produce the same amount of Aromatase enzyme vs the same dose of test enanthate. I doubt you would even need any arimidex at your stated dosage of test prop.

If you do see break out when injecting EOD then half the dose to 50mg and inject that every day. That will keep your levels much more stable. I am dead convinced that the break outs from steroids are either from dirty gear OR from when out levels of hormone are fluctuating like going up every day. (Like the first 3-5 weeks of a test enanthate cycle)
