DISCLAIMER
I decided to do this lab work the same as Test-E protocol for pinning twice a week with blood drawn 3.5 days after last pin. In no way am I trying to draw comparisons with Test-E results and TIPP as the two are different in esters and half lives. I only bring Test-E protocol into discussion for comparisons sake. This lab work is more of a service to AY customers that cruise on TIPP then a comparison of the two different esters.
TIPP
TIPP is a 250mg blend of two esters:
Testosterone Isocaproate at 150mg with a half life of 9 days
Testosterone phenylpropionate at 100mg with a half life of 4.5 days.
For comparisons sake the half life of Testosterone Enanthate is 10.5 days, so you can see this TIPP blend kicks in and clears much faster than the very popular Test-E.
BACKGROUND
I cruised on TIPP at 250mgs a week for 8 1/2 weeks prior to blood draw. Injections were twice a week and NPP was also in the mix at 100mgs per week. No AI was utilized during this period. I timed blood draw exactly 84 hours (3.5 days) after last pin to be as accurate as possible.
ANALYTICAL METHOD
I prefer LabsMD for blood analysis using LC/MS/MS. Mass spec is the only accurate method for analysis for guys that use exogenous hormones. Lab Corp uses ECLIA and this analytical method is flawed on many levels for guys like us. The higher your testosterone levels the greater inaccuracy, thus the 1,500ng/dl cutoff. Also note when using Nandrolone as I did during this cruise it is well documented ECLIA will skew the testosterone levels high. I am of the opinion ECLIA is good for an average Joe getting lab work done as requested by his doctor, just don't think it is much good for the user of AAS
AST/ALT
This is the first time since I have been in range that I can remember. So what is the difference? My guess is because I did not workout 2 days prior to blood draw. All the other blood draws I had elevated AST/ALT when I worked out every day and the morning of the blood draw. No science behind it but I purposely gave myself a break to see if this helped, and it did (maybe).
RBC, HEMOGLOBIN, HEMATOCRIT
I wish these numbers where better but I am resigned to the fact that it will be an ongoing situation for me. I religiously donate blood every 8 weeks and will never have an option to stop, ever.
ESTRADIOL
This is the first time when cruising I hit 64. Maybe because of shorter esters? Not sure but next time I might add Aromasin at 12.5mgs three times a week to keep in check.
TESTOSTERONE
The TIPP came in at 1,338ng/dl and is a higher number when compared to Test-E but can be expected with the shorter half life creating a higher spike at the 3.5 day blood draw after last pin. The mean level of Test-E is somewhere around 913ng/dl when following this protocol.
SUMMARY
I have cruised on Test-E, Test-D and TIPP and I have to say the TIPP is the best combination of esters for cruising. It is hard to describe, it just has kick to it. When I ran 250mg a week with Test-E and Test-D it was a struggle and from time to time had to bump it with 50mg of TPA to keep me level.
TIPP is great for maintaining gains when cruising too. This cruise I did a little better than maintain what I gained from my previous blast. Not to BS anybody, WO routine and diet were also key to maintaining my gains but the TIPP definitely helped.
COMMENTS
This is the 10th lab test in 20 months since I embraced the blast and cruise lifestyle. Never have I been shocked, befuddled, pissed, duped or screwed with any AY products. Everything is as advertised. Look through the Lab Testing section and read the posting by guys here and you will see one of two responses:
It's a miracle, it actually has hormone!
or
Fawk, screwed again, little or no hormone!
When comparing cost for good gear or cheap gear I have never understood the mentality of buying the cheap shit only to find it is under/over dosed, causes swelling and pain or taking the chance of getting infections. Is it worth it? Not to mention time in the gym and money put into a good diet How much do you save when your labs come back proving your test is under dosed?
