who likes once a week shot for trt more

[Ateam2023]

For me, sticking with a single weekly shot of 1cc of Test Cyp worked really well. I felt more stable and had fewer fluctuations in mood and energy levels compared to when I was doing multiple injections per week. It’s like my body adjusted better to the steady, consistent dose rather than dealing with the peaks and troughs that come with more frequent dosing

Some people definitely prefer more frequent injections because they think it helps keep their levels more stable throughout the week, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best option for everyone.

i think you may have it backwards , imo i get more stable levels doing eod injections of test c

Big difference between TRT (~100 mg/wk) and blasting (1 gram+ per week).

Many anecdotal reports support microdosing. I wouldn't be surprised if some microdosing extremists would do Test U every other day for TRT.

Anecdotally, big fluctuations lead to side effects, but this might not be the case with once or twice weekly TRT test cyp because the difference between peak and trough is kinda low.

I don't have an answer for blasting, but minor fluctuations on TRT doses are more physiological; testosterone naturally undergoes daily circadian rhythms.

Personally my TRT is sustanon 2-3x week. Get some minor fluctuations but nothing to cause side effects. Mood, libido, sleep, skin, etc., all improve. Not dealing with side effects, but this was similar on Test C 2x/wk.

Edit: well I just said a lot of nothingsauce. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

who here feels better off once a week shots for trt? i always see guys who like frequent dosing more.., but i almost feel better from one shot of 1cc of test cyp a week vs twice or three times a week

If it works then it's the correct frequency for you.

2x a week for a long time but the past 2 years I've micro dosed (29-31g), my libido has been shot during this time but markers were all great...might play with taking a break soon from daily back to 2x or even 1x to see if letting my other hormones swing a bit more helps the libido out!

I liked convenience of 1x a week but could tell a difference in mood/energy on day 6 or so.

That's why u need to use TU if you want 1x week and forget about it or deal with 2x if TC or TE.

My TRT clinic does that. I am just in my first week though. Did 150mg last Monday, still feeling OK. Will see how long that lasts though.

I’ve been on trt for 10 years doing 1 x week t cyp in cotton seed oil. Never an issue but recently have had bad left kidney pain for 2 hours after injection. Had blood tests many times t levels at 1100 kidney and liver function normal, no kidney stones present I’m using .4 week. I’ve never tried other esters. Anyone ever experienced this side effect

 

[suncom3]

I use to do all my test (e or sust) once a week. I now get too many side effects from that. Twice a week minimum these days

What side effects at 1x week ?

 

[narta]

What side effects at 1x week ?

Probably higher aromatization and hormonal fluctuation till it hit steady levels

 

[Sourpower]

What side effects at 1x week ?

Acne mostly

Me!

Once E10D Test D in castor oil. Best feeling so far after the initial build up period

What's your dosage and how long did you feel it took to buildup? Do you feel the 5 half lives is accurate for such a long ester?

 

[UncleBuns]

I'm like steady levels. For TRT Test U e5d, Test C eod. I just do better keeping things nice and stable. Less side effects and issues for me and more stable mood.

150mg

The 5nhalf lives principal is always accurate no matter the ester

 

[Ateam2023]

so how exactly does the 5nhalf principle work tia ?

 

[eatmyshorts81]

so how exactly does the 5nhalf principle work tia ?

According to the research, the specific ester doesn't become 100% stable until 5 half lives have past.

I've seen conflicting numbers on true half lives. I'm fairly certain test decanoate is 7-14 days depending on the oil.

So 5 half lives of an Ester with 14 day half life, becomes stable in 20 weeks.

I thought i was crazy for this? But i feel NOTICEABLY better on 2x a week versus the 3x a week i've been doing for years. I recently switched to this protocol and my libido has returned from the death. But so did my gyno... so yeah, more estrogen conversion maybe making me feel better. Makes sense.
