People often think it's just the more frequent pinning that causes Test P to hold less water but that's not the full truth.

So even though Test E pinned ed would have more stable levels with less peaks and you would think because of that it would aromatize less and that's true but Test P ed will take that even further because it doesn't stay in the system the same way and more mimicks a natural hormone cycle so it has less time to convert to estro and possibly also agonize the mineralocorticoid receptors less in a similar manner.

While longer ester may be slightly more anabolic, Test P would allow you to run a higher dose without the need for an aromatase inhibitor (AIs are poison) so assuming you're a looksmaxxer you have no reason to use any other ester than Testosterone Propionate.

Full explanation here

Summary
Longer esters cause higher levels of estrogen
Longer esters cause more water retention
Longer esters cause more suppression of the HPTA
Longer esters cause higher levels of nitrogen retention (muscle gain)in other words are more anabolic
Shorter esters cause higher peak plasma levels

Acetate is a shorter ester than propionate. What the fuck is this survey you've attached that isn't even accurate :lul: I'd like to assume majority of people who didn't answer acetate would not have access to it.

does it make that much of a difference? I will be pinning 100 test e 3 days a week for 300mg
 
Interesting. What is the science behind this, and do you have any sources other than a community poll? I'm def interested cuz I'm choosing an ester soon.

Also is this just because taking a longer ester is better for gains, and more gains correlates with more side effects? Taking an equal amount of short vs long ester yes short will cause less side effects but wouldn't long ester result in more gains meaning you could take less of long ester or more of short ester for equal effect?

Wdym its not accurate its a survey
