I have aquestion about half lives, specifically test e, which is 4 to 7 days correct?
the amount of testosterone that leaves your system is influenced on the amount you inject right? So the more you inject, the more that is leaving your system due to half life timing. So no matter the amount of test you take, it will always be the same amount of time to leave the system?
Is this correct thinking or does it matter how much you are injecting? I thought I understood this but the more I read on other boards the more confused I get, the reason I am asking is I am trying to figure out when a good time to get my labwork for my trt doc.
I went and tried finding some reliable info and this and really didn’t see much for what ever reason. But in my opinion or in my head (so do not take this as fact). When you drink alcohol or take certain drugs like even Tylenol if you take 1 shot or 1 pill the half life of it is what ever the hell it is. But, when you take a shit ton of these drugs you def get a increased and longer lasting effect and usually a longer hangover or with drawl or what ever. So in my theroy WJICH IS BASED ON STRICTLY TALKING OUT MY ASS is that the half life of Test E is about 4days correct?
So that’s if you take 1ml or 10mls. But, the difference being that it takes the body much less time to break down and actually utilize the drug in order for its half life to start ticking. So in the theroy the more you pin at once the longer it will take to metabolized. How ever how much more time is added I have zero clue at all. Maybe a hour maybe a day or two.
This is complete speculation so if I am terribly wrong I am sorry and maybe you should have spoke up 3 days ago when this was made so I didn’t have to look like an idiot.

Thanks for the reply reed but i’m not sure what you mean by the last part you said about speaking up 3 days ago when this was made.
But anyway, I have been back on my trt dose for 3 weeks now, I was running 1g of test a week, should I give it more time or am I probably good to go get my trt bloodwork?
Lol I was referring to someone who might come one and be like Reed that’s the dumbest thing I have ever heard and it works like this lol. Wasn’t directed at you.
I’d give it another week if you can just to be safe. 1000mg is a big difference in blood levels compared to 200mg a week.
isn’t it just like this (assuming 7 day half life for test E):
1g of test E → 1 week later gives 500mg → one week later gives 250mg → one week later gives 125mg
Isn’t that why we tell noobs to wait two weeks after their last pin of test E when doing 500mg/week, so they have 125mg in their system which is a trt dose and so an acceptable time to start PCT?
^^^^^ No see in my opinion that essentially makes since to me. Which is why technically the more you run the longer it would take to clear. See imagine running 2000mg after a week its at 1000mg, then the next 500mg, then 4 weeks later its 250 still higher than normal levels but, that’s almost seems to simple to be that way.

The annoying thing about it is that there’s just no definitive answer as to what the half lives actually are of things! Everywhere tells you something different.
It’s not such a big deal if you blast and cruise but if you’re a 2 cycle a year + PCT guy like myself it gets a little tricky. I like to taper my test down, start my SERMs a little earlier and run them a little longer for that reason.

or have I been wrong all these years?[/quote]
See this is what I thought too, hence why on this forum people recommend a 2 week wait before pct which would imply no matter the dosage it will leave your system the same time.
We know what the half life is… Well i’m assuming 7days to be on the safe side. But what the fuck determines how much is leaving your system after every 7 days? I’m assuming its the amount you are injecting every 7 days.
2 week wait is just for the dudes doing 500mg a week of cyp or enth. You’d be all fucked up if you were on 3.5g a week and only waited 2 weeks to start your PCT/
It’s the ester that determines how much is leaving your system.

Yes I know its the ester and a certain amount will leave after 4 to 7 days, but how much is what i’m trying to ask
At 1000 total that comes to about 71.42 pr day wk 1. 35.71 wk 2 per day. Wk 3 17.85 pr day. The way i get it. If the half life brings 1000 to 500. Divide that by 7 days you get your number. Then you 250 by 7 days and so on. Thats atleast my take. I waite 4 wks for my trt work. I always come back between 270 and 380. Total. Just my guess after all i am no doc but it has worked good for me for 4 years now with 4 different docs.(because of moving).

That’s a really low total t number. Why do you go so low?

half as much man, every half life your body will get rid of half as much as you injected.
How much are you running just now?[/quote]
Right now I have been on 120Mg a week, two shots a wk. And before that I tapered down from 1000Mg, each shot I dropped by 100Mg or so until I got to around 300Mg then I just went straight to my normal dose of 120 a wk and have been on it for 3 Weeks now.

Yeah but IMO a doc that is going to require you to go that low is adoc not worth having, those levels natural would basically warrant treatment with trt, no offense just don’t like to see my fellow trters being treated wrongly, but it sound like you’ve got it worked out to your advantage
