Ester weight and active hormone

Damn deca and EQ are weak….

Deca is a puccy sterol, but is EQ. I might run Tren and EQ (enanthates)instead of tren. ace. and test. prop.????

The steriod base give the most miligrams of active hormone by weight. I don't believe the ester attachment has any affect on the anabolic / androgenic profile. It simply holds the steriod in an inactive form until esterases in the body cleave the ester attachment.

The purpose of the ester is to give you a gradual release of a hormone. For example an injection of Test suspension (base) won't stay active in your system long and it could be compared to an oral requiring multiple doses a day to run a cycle with. That is why most injectables have some sort of ester attachment. Usually people only use a test base suspension to get more aggression in the gym or for any use where you don't want the substance in your system for long.

Normally you want the long duration of action so you inject a cypionate or enthenate a couple times per week at the required dosage. (These esters last 10+ days but most people inject twice per week to maintain more stable hormone levels) Sustanon is a blend of short and longer esters so the short esters release sooner, the intermediate next and the longer esters last.

So in most cases you probably want the ester attachment. The point of the post is the longer the ester the less total hormone you end up with by weight.

As you said with a short ester you can come off of it quicker if you experience negative sides. IMO the trade off is with the short esters you get the most hormone but you have to inject more frequently.
