Difference between once a week and twice a week injection. Test E

[Danishaesthetics]

I thought I would make a quick thread to show the difference between once a week and twice a week injections with a couple of graphs. One showing the compound release with once a week and one with twice a week injections as it might be easier for some of the newer guys to understand how the different injection times affects their levels.

The dose used is 500mg test E every week.

Look at your own graph at : http://steroidgraph.com/

Here you can plot in the different compounds and get a better view of what the compound release is during cycle with various injection intervals.

Interesting thanks for sharing.

exactly why I always pin twice per week

You're welcome Milton

I just updated the thread with a link to steroidgraph.com where you can calculate your own cycle regarding how much compound being released at a time.

What are your thoughts on every 3-3.5 days?

Those graphs make no sense to me. A single injection per week actually gives a higher peak initially, and even the troughs remain slightly higher than 2x a week until both methods reach saturation. At that point they're roughly the same, with the single injection having slightly lower troughs and higher peaks. I guess the graphs kind of show that given the slope of each curve, but as it's a logarithmic curve, I think they're cutting some corners in their algorithm.

I posted a bunch of similar graphs awhile ago done in excel, but even then - as we all metabolize esters and even the hormones in differing rates, it's only a rough projection.

Of course the real reason why 2x (E3.5D) is optimal is that it keeps peaks lower, which is what the body responds to with aromatase action.

Note: I was trying to find the thread I posted in, but it was a couple years ago, and I don't remember the specifics.

I totally agree with you !

And the graphs is only to give people an idea of the difference between injection times and how it affects their levels. So it has to be used as a estimate since the graph doesn't account for under/overdosed gear or the fact that all of us breaks it down in different rates.

But to someone who thinks "stable levels the f is that? " I still found this usefull.

I was actually looking around for anything similar so I didn't cover a post which had already been covered.

But as you mention it's only to give people an idea as the only way to know your exact compound release is of course to get tests done.
