Pretty happy with how I feel and performance in the gym and bed. Wondering when test levels peak after a shot, and if having workouts at peak T would be a benefit.
Any other comments or insight would be appreciated.
If your pinning testC 3x per week then your levels are pretty stable. Not a discernable difference between peak and trough.
Thanks for the input and the visual aid.
24-48 hrs depending on individual absorption rate etc. It’s more important to know for folks injecting only 1x a week so they can pull labs at trough. As @s.gentz stated when you pin 3x a week it’s not a great difference.
Appreciate the response
I’ve never noticed a difference, and there’s one study out there where they gave guys 200mg of Test then had them do heavy workouts the next day and saw no strength increases. Test is working on the AR at the DNA level, I think acute changes in performance just aren’t there with long esters, even at peak TT levels. But that’s just my interpretation.
Thanks for the info, really appreciate it
