do you calculate ester weight?

[just some dude]

interesting question: do you guys calculate ester weights? is it really as simple as it seems, or even necessary? clinically it’s not practiced, but chemically it seems true. for example: “you want 125mg of active test c a week? take 181mg. due to the ester weight, you add 45% to the dosage”

true?

No one is doing that I wouldn’t think.

yeah, most likely. i’ve been on test for years and gear on and off, never really thought about it until now.

I don't think people take that into account. In some cases, I do think about it tho. I know that undecanoate is heavier than cypionate or enanthate, so I take that into account for my cruising dose (200 with E or C but I made it 250 when I switched to U).

I recently switched from 200mg Test E to 175mg Test Prop specifically because of this.
Same net T as 200mg Test E but feel better. Running it with 200mg Primo.

I pin daily regardless so its no difference as far as frequency, def worth the switch for me personally IMO.
