differences in dosing a week?

**Memphis** · 06-08-2014, 02:42 PM

So my question is why do I have to pin test e twice a week at 250 if the ester well make it last for 14 to 16 days? Couldn't I just pin once a week and get the same effect? I know you have to stay consistent with your hormone levels but I figure the ester would control that. Sorry I know it may be dumb question but I really never found any literature on it.

Its active that long but peaks in about 4 days. So twice a week keeps levels as stable as possible..that is not a stupid question at all. The more stable your levels the less sides you get.

^^^This.

Steadier levels equals less sides and better gains.

Exactly as Train said. After day 5 your levels begin to decrease, this is why you want to pin twice a week with a mon/thurs, tues/fri, etc when using any enanthate or cypionate esters.

I remember my first pin 10 years ago, I did the once a week thing because I didn't know any better. All of these brothers are spot on.

1ml feels better than 2ml anyways . If your using 25g to pin after pulling with 22/23g then life is good .
You can do all at once at not really know the difference . Optimal is 2x/week is all .

After the administration of exogenous testosterone androgens will continue to rise for 24 to 48 hrs and then steadily decline for the active life of the compound. Many things come in to play as not all of us metabolize at the same rate. Some metabolize faster than others. This is why pinning every 3.5 days seems optimal. From experience even though most will say the active life of test e is 14 days and test c is 18 days I have found that my levels drop to almost nothing by day 14 on either compound

Thanks again guys loving the knowledge. Glad I switched forums, the last one I joined had a bunch of douche bags that thought they knew everything.

I pin every time I workout and love it,TNE.And i am about to start deca, d-bol, test e and one other but not sure what it will be.Anyway the first pin I was nervous and the second,but the third was not so bad.I started seeing some results and now I like it.
