About Sustanon

Sustanon 250 is a popular testosterone blend (mixture) and is without question the most popular and well known blend ever made. Sustanon 250 is an oil-based injectable testosterone blend that contains four different testosterone esters:

• Testosterone Propionate (30mg)
• Testosterone Phenylpropionate (60mg)
• Testosterone Isocaproate (60mg)
• Testosterone Decanoate (100mg)

Sustanon  is designed to provide a fast yet extended release of testosterone hormone. As with all testosterone products, Sustanon 250 is a very strong anabolic drug with pronounced androgenic activity.

These Testosterone esters form a combined total of 250mg of testosterone. The basis for combining these esters is for the purpose of creating a Testosterone drug that can provide the patient with the benefits of both a fast release of Testosterone into the bloodstream alongside a slower release in order to achieve peak blood plasma levels quicker and keep them sustained[1]. This is very different from the use of a single Testosterone ester, such as Testosterone Propionate, which a single solitary product containing Testosterone Propionate, and only Testosterone Propionate.

Sustanon Cycles and Uses

During an off-season bulking cycle this is one of the best times to use Sustanon 250. High testosterone levels create the perfect atmosphere for muscle growth. Granted, the calories have to be there. If you’re not eating enough, the testosterone won’t help you grow. However, the combination of a well-planned diet and high testosterone levels will see tremendous advancements in lean tissue growth. Of equal importance, high testosterone levels will enhance your metabolic rate. Those who have higher testosterone levels will gain less body fat during their off-season than those who do not have higher testosterone levels.

The intention of Sustanon 250 is to, as a whole, provide an initial spike in blood plasma levels of Testosterone within 24 – 48 hours following administration. Following this, blood levels should remain elevated for a period of 21 days as a result of the larger Testosterone esters contained in the blend[9]. The idea here, as previously mentioned, was to utilize Sustanon almost exclusively in the treatment of Testosterone replacement therapy. This should be kept in mind when anyone is willing to run Sustanon cycles. The first indication that Sustanon’s half-life characteristics should give is the fact that Sustanon cycles need to be run for much longer periods as a result, typically 10 – 14 weeks. Even 10 week Sustanon cycles are regarded as being on the short end.

While many understand high testosterone levels are beneficial when growing, many fail to understand how beneficial they can be when cutting. A cutting cycle is a perfect time to supplement with Sustanon 250. Due to its tremendously powerful anabolic nature, Sustanon 250 will protect lean muscle tissue better than just about anything else. Protecting lean tissue is the primary benefit of high testosterone levels when cutting, but it’s not the only one. The use of Sustanon 250 will enable the individual to burn body fat at a more efficient rate due to the metabolic enhancement high levels will provide. It is, however, important to note that many will need to use less Sustanon 250 during their cutting phase compared to off-season phase due to estrogen sensitivity.

Thanks to high testosterone levels, your muscular endurance will be greatly enhanced. You will not tire out fast and your recovery rate will be greatly improved. Recovery is where progress is made. Progress isn’t actually made in the gym when we train. When we train we are actually tearing down muscle tissue. It is the repair process that brings about progress. High testosterone levels will see this progress enhanced and undertaken in a more efficient and thorough manner. This makes high testosterone levels very beneficial to athletes as recovery and endurance are key components to athletic performance. As a bonus, Sustanon 250 will increase the individual’s strength, again a key component to athletic success.

Sustanon Dosages and Administration

In the athletic and bodybuilding circles, most beginner Sustanon dosages begin at around 300 – 500mg weekly. Normally there is no need to increase Sustanon dosagesbeyond this range especially when utilized with other compounds. Intermediate users often venture into the realm of 500 – 750mg per week, often when Sustanon is used alone. Intermediate users will often still remain in the 500mg weekly range when utilizing other compounds with it. Advanced users are known to rise as high as 750 – 1000mg per week, but again, this is usually only when Sustanon is used alone and not with other anabolic steroids
