Test E question?

Test E question? UPDATED Q!

Starting a cycle with 500mg test e weekly. Should I do one shot lets say every sunday, or split it up to two shots a week like monday and thursday?
thanks
Also, how many injection spots should i switch. Can i just get from left glute to right glute, and just switch like this, or should i mix it in with the quads?
thanks

i do mine all in one shot a week monday usually but i have read guy on this board like to split the shot of test e

Many suggest weekly shots. Therapeutic application is prescribed for two shots a week based on pharmacokinetics analysis that shows that Enanthate reaches peak within a day or two and stays there for a couple of days before seeing a decline by day four. See attached distribution. You'll notice better ability to sustain stability at peak through the week by dividing the dose.

I like 2 shots a week, I am on 500mg/week test e and 400mg/week eq and splitting them up seems to work great.

My suggestion is inj at least 2 times a wk. If you inject once a week your Test level will drop to less than half in between shots. The key to fewer sides and more gains is stable blood levels.
I would also recommend front loading your cycle. That means on your first injection day take a full 500mg. If you don't it will take about 3 wks to get your levles up to where you want them. Thats 3 wks you could be making more gains.
Do a search for threads like this. There are a lot and lots of good info about maximizing your gains. Also have your PCT ready, to keep the gains you make.

Thanks man, and i do have my PCT ready.

...

Take it twice a week. Can't hurt and there are more than likely at least reasonable benefits. I always split it up. IronMike

Thanks a lot for the info...Anybody else?

If I go on monday morn. Then I will go again thur. morning and then sund. morn. etc. I take mine with my eq sometimes for economics. I only use my glutes. I alternate, but sometimes just use the same cheek. No big deal, just a confort thing. Whatever you feel is best.

I read something in another thread that got me thinking about rotating inj sites and depot time. I want to give credit to the mod that posted it so bump for OuchThatHurts. Rotating inj sites is a pain but using the same site to often might cause some tissue damage. Now I know a little more about why.

FINALLY!!! Someone else said it. The whole reason for PUTTING a compund in oil is so that it remains in depot longer. For the same reason, it's rediculous to think rubbing a site is going to push oil in your bloodstream any faster. The oily depot is a reservoir in the muscle. You can't "rub it in". All you're going to do is put unecessary pressure on the reservoir and probably cause damage to the muscle fibers or even worse, break the reservoir completely and have the oil spill out into other areas of the body. This is from another post of mine:

"Also interesting to me was that if you consider that 250mg's of test enanthate yields about 180mg of testosterone [minus the ester] taking up to THREE days to reach maximum plasma concentration and then an additional 4.5 days to be cut in half, this still gives you a fairly high concentration for up to 7.5 days where at least STILL HALF is in depot (still sitting in your ass, delt, quad, etc)."

"This gives us some things to consider.

First of all, how important it is to rotate injection sites. Don't think a week later that a site is ready. Not a chance.

Secondly, that the release of the test from an injection is not as cut and dry as one might think. You have time in depot and then when released, in-plasma de-esterification, and then the active life of the released testosterone! It also makes me ponder whether certain oils (cottonseed, sesame, grapeseed) will have a shorter duration in depot due to their molecular structure. This may explain why you experience differences in products from one manufacturer to the next even though the mg/ml is actually accurate and identical. One may have higher content benzyl alcohol and benzoate and thus less oil while another still may be prepped with a different oil altogether.

Thirdly, how absurd it is to rub a site after injection. A few minutes of steady pressure will do. You WILL NOT rub the oil into the muscle more quickly. In fact, it's in oil for THE sole purpose of just remaining there! Does this make better sense?"

Well I would say it isnt absurd at all because I do it. You may very well be right about the oil and pressure being enough but NOTHING I do is absurd.

Test frequency

This goes against conventional thinking, but I've experimented injecting Test E. every other day and it has worked better than injecting it twice a week in sustaining consistent mood (M), strength (S) and recovery (R) peaks. The experiement was motivated by a repeated decline in MSR that I would see on the third and fourth day when on a twice a week dose. Consequently, with the every other day approach, there's less of a need to go on a really high twice a week dose to avoid a micro MSR crash on the third and fourth day.

Similarly, while many prefer injecting Test P. every other day, I've found that it works better when injecting it each day unless it's a mixed compound with Test E., in which case every other day works fine.
