First cycle questions

The body also stores excess levels of fat even though starvation is largely a thing of the past in the first world. Biohacking just to follow the rules? I don't think so.

I never understood getting on peds just to try to mimic the bodies natural processes. Like do you want to be enhanced or not? take advantage of a constant elevation of testosterone and androgens in your system

true, just speculation from my part lol

Ya, I'm not trying to shit on you, just presenting this lifestyle from a different angle that you might not have considered. Make no mistake, this is a lifestyle, not a weekend retreat.

Ah I see what you’re saying, good point. I honestly didn’t even really know that test p caused more fluctuations I just was thinking about more frequent pins. It is true that obviously having more stable levels at all times will gove you an advantage muscle building wise, but I’d also say there’s some arguments that it’s worth to purposefully do that for some people, because there definitely is a reason the hormone system is built the way it is, so there could be some long term issues having high test levels 247, idk though

Fluctuation theories apart, I highly encourage you to use a longer ester. Firstly, Test P gives terrible pip to some people. Your dose isn't high, so you might avoid this, but there is a non zero chance of significant pip. Higher than with other esters, for sure.

And because timing the bloods while on P is harder than on a longer ester, your test levels will vary a lot depending on when your bloods are drawn and how long after your last injection.

It's better to take a more stable ester in order to have a good record of how you aromatise at a given level of test. This will be useful in future cycles.

Other minor thing is higher fluctuation also results in more acne, in my experience.

But if I want to pin say every other day, can I still use a longer esther?

always use a longer ester for test.

I pin cyp everyday. prop is just looksmaxxing tictok bullshit. it has its purposes for fixing crashed estrogen when using compounds that have an AI effect but would never use that shit for my TRT or cycle. Plus prop is usually 100mg/ml versus 200/250 that cyp and E usually is, gotta push more oil everyday for the same shit.
