Can someone tell me what the difference is between Cypionate and Enanthate? Are there any reason a person would choose one over the other?

I have used both in the past and the results and effects are the same...just remember to eat enough and have a solid PCT.
Usually you hear just the opposite, enan makes people hold more water. But truthfully, as I've always said, I could give you either or and you'd never notice the difference 99.9% of the time.
The 2 are pretty much Identical when comparing them on paper...I suggest using what ever is cheaper per mg/ml....
Enanthate is the European Test...
Cypionate is the American Test...
Its mostly personal preference between the 2....It gives u a good excuse to try them both:D
Another reason IMO users suggest or use Enanthate over Cypionate is typically Enanthate is dosed at or above 300mg/ml......Where as Cypionate is TYPICALLY dosed at 200mg/ml....Use what ever is the best price.
Hope this helps a lil
Good luck

Most authorities consider them to be very much the same. They are long esters- I always use one and I also for some reason have this insane need to use a quick acting ster like suspension similtaneuosly. Pseudo-ketsugo science based on my own insanity
"anecdotal bro science" LOL! I love this quote!
The written word says: Cypionate has a slightly shorter half life So one should shoot every 5-6 days. My real world is I have a fairly good metabolism so I've always shot every 5 days.
I have always read most hold slightly less water on Cyp I assume due to it's slightly shorter half life OR they metabolized cyp fast enough where the last day or 2 they had less test in their system and so they lost a lil water for a day or 2.. I personally hold a tad less water on cyp. Real world is everybody's different and you should be taking an anti-E any damn ways which would negate any slight differences.
I say: mg for mg the only difference is the person.
I say so many things that may make them both the same: like if one is taking a g a week- they aint gonna notice any difference whether they shoot once every 7 days or not. Cyp or Enan.
Having said this: I prefer Enan if I'm going for size- which I have'nt done in forever. I like prop in EO ph balanced of course.
So in sumary: only difference is slight half life time and you. If you do react any differently on them -take a g and you wont- LMAO! Kidding dont take a g unless you need to- like if your a 300 lb freak like AJ
You guys are a great source of information!
