Newbie question about test dosage

[MrChristian]

Hi folks,

I've never run a steroid cycle and I'm just in "learning mode" right now. Gathering all the information and advice I can. One thing I'm noticing is that lots of cycles have a test base. When I see people saying "test e 500mg per week", I'm wondering how often you typically administer a dose during a given week. I know that test e & c have a long half life of something like 8 days. So I suppose a single dose of 500mg per week would work correct? Or do people typically split the dosage up into several days per week in order to keep the level of test in your system more even over time? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I imagine I'll be asking a lot of dumb questions here in the coming weeks.

Thanks in advance!
Christian

This is not a dumb question at all brother. It's a very good question, as I'm sure other people reading this wonder the same. When running a specific dosage of testosterone, the number of injections per week depends on the ester attached. Test C has a half life of 8 days, 4.5 days for a Test E, and about 2-3 days for propionate

So Test C is fine to inject once a week, though when running higher doses, most will inject twice a week for more stable values. Test E really needs injected twice a week regardless because of the shorter half life to achieve stable blood values. Propionate should be injected at least every other day or even every day because of the very short half life.

I hope this helps clear up any questions you may have

That is a great question! I wish more guys were concerend enough to ask rather than listen to what big schmoe says at the gym. You are doing it the right way! Asking intelligently! Most cycles are all better with a test base. That is a given and do that always. I went to my loyal diary to see exactly how I did this.I have tried cyp,e sus all individually, and in combos. I have taken each one and did it once, twice, thrice/week! So one cycle I did 600 sus, M,W,F..in 3 divided doses of 200.Same with e and cyp. Next time I did the same with two divided doses, and then another cycle with once per friday. This took many cycles to accomplish what I wanted to know but here is my final thought.Written, june 15th 1990. " It make no difference", and "seems the only importance is to get the 600mg in within a 6-7 day period" Here again I am saying something that kind of goes against our thinking.BUT my diary don't lie. YET when people ask me at a gym I give the standard scientific answer. I guess it is easier.
So do it like you want. If you are afraid of needles and will always have to call a bud to do it for you then go once per week. If you are a freak like me and get off on 20g x1.5 needles then divide in into 2 or 3 days with in a 7 day period.

Thanks guys for the great answers! That's exactly what I wanted to know.

drb_iac, I must admit that I'm not looking forward to the needle stuff. But during my fitness journey over the years I have learned to enjoy certain things which I once despised. For example, I now actually LIKE vegetables! The way I see it, if I can overcome my fear of vegetables, I can overcome a stupid needle.

LOL i hear you bro... its funny because vegetables are the center of my daily diet now... i can't go a day without 3-4 servings of them... im obsessed with mushrooms, zuchini, onions, peppers etc... i can't live without them man... you will find that as you try new things...

you will be just fine with the injections... you just have to overcome, which you easily can and then its smooth sailing... you will see quickly after one injection that goes very smooth how easy it truly is bro... i like to do a split of monday and friday for example or tuesday and saturday etc... those are good ways to split them up
