Why to use a "fast ester" at cycles end. Examples
As" Dr.Robert Banner" has pointed out it is a very good idea to switch to ,or add a steroid to the end of a cycle, that is in rapid ester form.
Before I can tell you why it is a good idea to include this technique I would like to explain esters briefly.
Oil based steroids are packaged up in "esters" to allow for a longer, slower, and potentially more constant bloood hormone level. Esterification inactivates the steroid molecule temporarily. This is beneficial to the steroid user and especially the men receiving replacement testosterone as less trips to the doctor and or fewer shots per month are needed in order to see good blood hormone levels.
The only "problem" with esterfication for the steroid user is that the hormone or hormones of choice will take some time to reach muscle building levels within the system. This is why doing a loading dose is important. Simply put a loading dose is a larger than would be weekly dose done immediately at the beginning of a cycle. This technique allows blood hormone levels to reach the desired levels sooner than they could if a loading dose was not done.
Let me make it clear that loading a hormone in the proper way does not result in skyrocketing hormone levels or levels of blood hormone that are greater than what would be attained by not loading.....it just gets hormone levels up to the desirred levels sooner. This is good for two reasons...#1. Gains start sooner and #2. One can potentailly be "on" for a shorter period of time while seeing the same gains. Ie: an 8week cycle as opposed to a 10-11 week cycle.
Since I believe it is best to inject all slower estered steroids and testosterone twice per week of once every 4 days I will calculate the load in the following manner.........one takes the amount of steroid that one plans to use per week and divides it by 7. Then one takes 5 days worth of injnection and adds it to the amount that would is planned for each biweekly injection. ie: If you plan on doing 500 of test cyp per week then you you take the daily amount, which is about 70 mg , and multiply it by five which equals 350mg and then add 250, which is the amount of your biweekly injection. So a good loading dose here would be about 600 mg. You could add a little more.
The slower the ester the more important loading becomes.
Some men that use very large amounts of gear on a weekly basis may choose to spread the load out over the first one or two weeks of the cycle, although it is not necessary to do this and blood hormone levels will be reached sooner by loading all on day one in various injection sites.
NOTE: It is a good practise to never inject more than 3 cc into any one spot as more than this can result in sterile abscess formation which can convert to an infected abscess...bad stuff!
ALSO NOTE: that this practise is done all the time in the medical field and with some very powerful drugs and with no adverse affects.
Anyway....getting back to esterfication....An ester is a molecular chain composed mainly of carbon and hydrogen atomes. This chain is usually attached to the hormone at the 17th carbon position(there are exceptions as some are joined at "position three")
Getting back to why we use fast releasing esters at cycles end....well it is very simple really, you see the transition time between peak blood hormone levels and the time it takes for the steroid to "clear" the system after ones last shot and before clomid therapy can be a emotionally depressing and a waste of time. For example, test cyp takes about 14 days to clear the system if doses are not huge. During the last weak there is not enough steroid in the blood to result in anabolism but too much for HPTA recovery. This can result in an odd feeling in the sensitive ,also ideally one wants natural test production to start as soon after the last injection as possible so recovery time is not wasted. This will then allow you to "stay off" sooner and will also be less hormonally traumatic for the system. A quick recovery of natural test production is paramount to keeping gains from a cycle.
One dosen't want to be floating around in "no mans land" with hormone levels too high for recovery but too low for gains. This is one resason why "tapering" is a waste of time.
For recreational user this means a quicker more enjoyable recovery is possible. For the highly competitive, that stay "on" for a good part of the year, switching to fast esters at the end of a cycle can help them spend less time between cycles. This is NOT recommended for the vast majority and is irrelavent for those that stay "on" all the time, which is another thing I frown upon, unless you are at the "national level" or professional.
Another reason to switch to a faster ester at the end of a cycle goes like this....it just so happens most of the injectable steroids that DO NOT aromatize are in rapid ester form. The two most commoly used are winstrol depot and trenbolone acetate. These two steroids can be used during the last weeks of a cycle to help "harder up" the gains form a powerful aromatizing hormone such as testosterone. Even with the use of estrogen inhibitors some water gain is usually unavoidable when using testosterone, or very large doses of other aromatizing gear such as EQ. One will notice the hardening affect most as the blood hormone levels of the aromatizable hormone fall. ie: in the last two weeks before clomid therapy begins.
Examples of switching to fast esters at cycles end are as follows...
Test cyp was done with a loading dose on day one and then run for 8 weeks at 700 mg per week and stopped at week 8. Test cyp dose reduced to 300 for week 8 and test prop 50 mg injected evey other day and then during weeks 9 and 10 test prop injected at 125mg every other day. Three to four days after the last shot start clomid therapy as props half life is probably 2 days and starting clomid 3-4 days after the last shot will have allowed the testosterone level to fall to the point were clomid could start to become effective.

Test cyp as above but this time trenbolone acetate at 50 mg wil be run during weeks 6, 7 , 8 , 9 and 10. The tren will greatly enhance the muscle building affect of this cycle during weeks 6, 7 and 8, at the time when one starts to notice gains slowing down a bit( best gains are usually seen between weeks 2 and 6 of most cycles and for most men) After week 8 gains will start to drop again but the hardness from tren remains as estrogen levels and water retention lessens.
One could run the tren all the way through the cycle as well for a much more dramatic affect but tren for 10 weeks plus test for ten weeks is a very androgenic stack and may not be tolerated by some men if largish doses are needed. Also, some men may choose not to do this in order to keep the overall steroid dose down for various reasons, and health issues being one of them.
Winstrol can be used in place of tren with similar but less dramatic results as can the oral steroids anavar or Halotestin, although I do not recommend running these 17 aa steroid for more than 4 weeks at a time. Winstrol taken IM can be run for a longer time as it avoids the "first pass" upon the liver from oral ingestion. The 17aa steroid is detoxified over several days as opposed to the several hour associated with oral igestion. This is one reason why it makes no sence to drink your winny bro's ..sorry. Not only that but a higher dose of winny is needed for the same affect if it is taken orally.
Proviron at 100mg per day could also be added, either for the duration of the cycle or for the last several weeks, as it has a very short half life and provides a good amount of hardeneing androgen. It also acts as an estrogen inhibitor to some degree and thus reduces water retention from aromatizing hormones. Proviron has made a "come back" of late, even though it is a very weak anabolic, for the above reasons. It should also be noted that proviron binds very strongly to plasma binding proteins such as SHBG and thus this probably allows more of the anabolic hormone used with proviron to be in an unbound state. This could increase gains of course. Also proviron is not 17aa.
There are tons of combo's that can be used...use your imagination.
Happy safe cycles bro's!
