Sustanon injections contain testosterone esters (testosterone propionate, phenylpropionate, isocaproate and decanoate). These are derivatives of the naturally occurring male sex hormone testosterone, which is produced by the testicles. Testosterone is the main hormone essential for normal growth, development and function of the male sex organs and male sexual characteristics.
Sustanon injectons are available as 250mg/ml vials.
Nebido injectons is another brand of testosterone injection which only contains testosterone undecanoate.
- Faster muscle mass gain – Increasing testosterone levels, one of the most anabolic hormones, results in a significant acceleration of muscle tissue building. During the first 15 weeks of the cycle, beginners often gain more than 10 kg of mass, of which 6-10 kg is left after the cycle. It is worth noting that the mass gained on the cycle is usually of better quality than the mass built naturally.
In addition, the presence of several times higher than normal amount of androgens in the blood allows to temporarily shift the genetic limit. - Faster regeneration – Increased levels of Testosterone and Estradiol increase the speed of regeneration after training. The time needed to rest between training sessions is reduced by about half. Most people can work out 6x a week without any problems during the cycle.
- Higher libido – The male libido is largely linked to the level of Estradiol and the testosterone derivative DHT. During the cycle, the level of both these hormones increases, resulting in a significantly increased willingness to have sex. Moreover, due to the increased blood density, the penis is usually harder and often also slightly larger (it returns to normal after the cycle).
- Feeling better – Testosterone levels affect the amount of dopamine and cortisol secreted by your body. A proper balance of these hormones improves mood, especially in people with mild depression.
- Greater self-confidence – This effect is observed mainly in shy people or with a slight social phobia. Increased testosterone level makes it easier to make decisions. Contrary to popular belief, it does not increase the level of aggression.
- Full muscles – Increased levels of testosterone and estradiol cause the retention of more water in the muscles, which makes them harder and optically larger all the time. During the cycle, veins also become visible, giving the illusion of a lower level of fat tissue than in reality.
- Strong bones – Testosterone is alongside HGH one of the main hormones responsible for healthy bones. As the concentration of testosterone in the body increases, its density increases as well.
- Better Sleep – During a cycle, sleep is usually much deeper, and the body needs less sleep than normal – assuming the level of physical activity does not change.
- Beard – During the cycle, testosterone levels and thus the DHT increase. DHT is responsible for the beard’ growth rate and density.
What is Sustanon 250?
Sustanon is a mixture of 4 types of testosterone: propionate, phenylpropionate, isocapronate, decanoate. Although at first glance it looks like a fast acting stack, in reality you have to wait longer for full effects than in the case of enanthate or cypionate.
Sustanon has 3 fast-acting esters in its composition, however, they account for only 60% of the total volume. This causes the first effects to appear already in the first week of the cycle (higher libido, better sleep and mood, more energy), and for the rest you have to wait about 3-4 weeks.
Sustanon is the most popular type of testosterone prescribed by doctors. It is designed to keep testosterone levels as stable as possible. I feel that it allows to maintain the maximum amount of muscle gain on the cycle from all forms of testosterone. It seems that decanoate is responsible for this phenomenon, which, being a long ester, takes a long time to kick in, but whose concentration drops equally slowly at the end of the cycle. This ensures a much more stable cycle end, giving the body more time to resume its own testosterone production.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that Sustanon 250 has as many as 4 different esters, choosing the right dosage of aromatase inhibitor in people sensitive to Estradiol can be difficult in the first weeks. Of course, this mainly concerns high doses – with a standard beginner’s cycle (500mg/week) you will probably not need to take any aromatase inhibitors at all for the first 4-5 weeks.
The exact doses of the agents in the sustanon 250:
- 30 mg / ml – testosterone propionate
- 60 mg / ml – testosterone phenylpropionate
- 60 mg / ml – testosterone isocaproate
- 100 mg / ml – testosterone decanoate
Making an injection
The moment most beginners are afraid of. After a few injections it turns out that it is nothing terrible. There are two methods of making the injection – subcutaneous (subq) and intramuscular (IM).
A tiny insulin needle is enough to perform the first method. Injecting the solution into the fatty tissue ensures a more stable release of the agent and reduces the side effects associated with high estrogen levels. Unfortunately, this way you can only administer about 0.5ml of the solution at a time. Otherwise, a bubble will appear under the skin (it disappears after a few days).
The intramuscular method uses much larger needles. It ensures faster release of the substance, so the first effects of the cycle are visible faster. With this method you can inject even 2-3ml of the solution in a single shot.
How to make an injection?
- Clean the vial: wipe the rubber on top of the vial with alcohol and wait about a minute.
- Pull as much air into the syringe as you intend to draw oil (this will prevent vacuum from forming in the vial)
- Insert the needle and put all the air into the vial.
- Draw in a substance – a little more than you need
- Without pulling out the needle, tap lightly on the syringe until the air is at the top of the syringe ( by the needle) and then inject the air back into the vial with the excess solution.
- Wipe the area where you intend to inject with alcohol and wait a few seconds
- Pull the needle out of the vial and without hesitation stab it in the planned place (the more decisive the move you make, the less pain you will feel)
- Inject the solution – the speed of injection depends on the diameter of the needle, on average it is about ml/30s, but on the first injection, you can do it slower.
- Remove the syringe with a quick motion.
- Throw away the syringe – the needle cannot be used again!
