The usual dosage of testosterone propionate for male athletes is 50 to 100 mg per injection, administered every two to three days. Like all testosterone esters, testosterone propionate is commonly used at a cumulative weekly dose between 200 mg and 400 mg. This dosage is sufficient for most users to experience exceptional muscle and strength gains.

Testosterone propionate is a synthetic injectable form of the primary male androgen, testosterone. The added propionate ester slows the rate of testosterone release at the injection site, lasting only a few days. Consequently, testosterone propionate, compared to other esters like cypionate or enanthate, is much faster-acting and requires a much more frequent dosing schedule. Testosterone propionate is an older form of injectable testosterone, rendered obsolete by the slower, more comfortable esters developed after it.
