I have sampled and dabbled in all of the above (TNE, suspension, etc) and yes there is PIP with water bases and smell with anything with guaicol.
Personally, I do not think any of it is necessary, or worth the negs (damn do I dislike that guaicol odor and taste). I just do not think that the benefits are that dramatic compared to just running sustanon or prop, if fast acting test is what you're after.
Any test, for that matter (long or short ester) - provided that your nutrition and training are proper - are going to get you the results you want from your cycle. IMO, chasing things like suspensions and no ester tests are just distractions and window dressing from what really gets results - well planned and solidly executed cycles with basic estered tests.
We all like to experiment and try things like TNE and suspension and exotic PWO blends - myself included - but I think they are more hype than results producers.
Not a sexy or fun answer - but the truth, in my experiences.
Just my opinion...
Yeah good points. Is the pip really that bad with suspension? Compared to prop let’s say. Lotta people say that has bad PIP, but I don’t get any from it.
