Another injectable testosterone compound which is used in power sports circles is Testosterone suspension.
In the following we will describe the testerone dissolved in water. For athletes who readily and frequently work
with the popular oily testosterone suspensions (Sustanon 250 or Testosterone Depot) this information might
be something new. Besides, water-dissolved tes-tosterone was actually the first injectable steroid. In Europe
during the 1940's injectable testosterone was used in the German armed forces to increase aggressiveness
and stamina, and also in the recovery of undernourished prisoners of war. This was nothing else but
crystalline testosterone mixed with water. Russian weightlifters began experimenting with this testosterone
compound during the late 1 940's and broke one world record after another. Since, at the time, pure
testosterone without additional esters was used, the substance remained in the body for only a few hours
requiring daily injec-tions, and often several per day By first injecting the testosterone molecules with an ester,
such as for example isobutyrate (in Agovirin), it was possible to prolong the duration of effect up to about one
week.
Since testosterone is dissolved in water the substance reaches the blood after only 1-2 hours so that it is
unnecessary to wait longer for results, a circumstance that is advantageous to powerlifters. In the last one or
two weeks before a competition testosterone suspen-sion is injected daily, often resulting in amazing strength
gains. Of-ten Testo -suspension is even injected on the day of competition to increase the athlete's
aggressiveness and self-esteem in order to ap-proach the difficult tasks with the right attitude. For this
purpose, this rapidly effective testosterone is considerably more effective than methyltestosterone (see
chapter "Methyltestosterone").
Among East European powerlifters and competing bodybuilders Testosuspension
has always been a "last minute secret." Especially women can reliably change their
estrogen/testosterone ratio to break down excessive water and to give softer muscles a visibly better hardness
in a short time. Female bodybuilders usually have considerably greater difficulty in getting their calves
and upper thighs in contest condition than their upper bodies. Often you see a female bodybuilder on the
posing platform with striated pecs, delts and triceps, whereas her lower body appears flat and soft. For several
reasons the estrogen level can be too high, leading to an increase in the hormone aldosterone.
Since aldosterone regulates the body's own water household-meaning the higher the aldosterone level, the more
water is stored by the organism it is important to keep the aldosterone level as low as possible. Finally it is
known that women by nature store fat and water mostly in their upper thighs. An optimal form for a competition
requires a high an-drogen level with a minimal estrogen level. Women who on the day of competition never
obtain the right muscle hardness can usually achieve a significant performance enhancement by in-jecting 25-
50 mg Testosterone suspension daily during the last 1-4 days before the competition.
However, men also use Testosterone suspension during the last 10-14 days before a bodybuilding
competition to make an all-out effort for optimal muscle hardness. Athletes report outstanding results when
Testo -suspension is used together with the car-bohydrate/loading technique. The athlete unloads his body by
depriving it of carbohydrates for several days and begins loading carbohydrates three days before a
competition with the goal of storing as much glycogen in the muscle cells as possible. He can optimize this
process by taking 5 0-100 mg Testosterone suspension/day. Testosterone suspension considerably boosts
the stor-ing of glycogen in the muscle cells and, since dissolved in water, becomes effective almost
immediately. As is known, glycogen also bonds with water in the muscle cells, which manifests itself in
extremely tight and full muscles.
In the mass-gaining phase Testosterone suspension is only rarely used. With respect to strength and muscle
mass the gains, as with all injectable testosterone esters, are very good; however, this testosterone compound
requires frequent injections in order to reach a performance enhancing dosage. With 100 mg every 1-2 days
rapid muscle gains can usually be obtained and the strength increase can usually be felt from the first day.
However a stale effect remains since the injection of testosterone dissolved in water is not only extremely
unpleasant but the pain at the injection area remains for some time. To endure such martyrdom for several
weeks is not to everyone's liking. The gains disappear rapidly after use of the compound is discontinued.
As for side effects, the same is true for Testosterone suspension as it is for other testosterone esters. A
considerable part of the compound is converted into dihydrotestosterone in the body so that acne and hair loss
occur quite frequently. The endogenous testosterone production is already considerably lower after only a few
days of use which during a several week long intake could result in testicular atrophy and temporary
impotence. Women experience the usual virilization symptoms. An enormously increased sexual drive in both
sexes is noted, often from the first day of intake. The same can be said about the influence of Testo
suspensions on the aggression potential. Men are also at risk to develop a prostate condition or possible
gynecomastia.
The price on the black market for a 2 ml ampule, according to reports by athletes, is around $3.00 - 10. Since
steroid molecules do not easily bond with water, Testosterone suspension must be well shaken before the
injection. Those who let the injection rest for more than 30 minutes without touching it will notice that the
testosterone separates from the watery solution in form of a white, crystalline powder. After shaking, an
opaque, white mixture is formed in the ampule.
