How long for different esters to kick in? half-life
Hi Meso bros,
Is there a connection between half-life and how quickly an ester will "kick-in" and you feel the effect?
This link: http://www.xtrememass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=218 lists half-lives of enanthate at 5.25 days and propionate at 4.5 days, and decanoate at 15 days, but general consensus is that prop is much faster acting and clears quicker than enanthate. Here's a decent discussion of half-life that lists Nandrolone decanoate's half life at 6 days!

(so maybe the numbers are just noise)
The reason why i ask is at the beginning and end of the cycle it makes sense to me to use a short ester (or suspension) so that the cycle starts when you start and ends soon after the last injections.
The time after the last Enanthate inj. waiting to start PCT is where I'm at now and I don't like it...My natural test is suppressed but the lingering Test E. is not at high enough levels to do much good.
Thanks,
