Every other day protocol

[Oldhighlander]

Is anyone doing an every other day injection protocol? Is there an upside/downside in doing this?

I've seen some guys here do daily protocols. Greatly lessens the need for an AI by virtue of less injected = less spike in E2. If it works for you there's nothing wrong with it. Personally I don't want to be a slave to pinning daily, regardless if it's a slin pin or not.

I do a daily protocol and it helps to maintain a steady state which I believe provides more gains. I have no studies or evidence that this is true ( about increased gains), but I did notice a difference when I started pinning daily.

What is your exact protocol charger? May help out the op.

Like kel said if it works for you go for it, but twice a week is usually plenty small of doses to keep e2 down. Pinning ed or eod forever would really be a pain for me.

if you are on a legitimate THT program there is zero reason to be injecting more than once a week.

I tried the everyday injection protocol a year ago because I wanted to see if it would bring my Hematocrit level down. It did, from an average of 51 to a 42. I was injecting 20mg of Test C everyday. The problem was it also brought down my Total Test and my Free Test numbers. And for some reason I felt physically weaker on the everyday dosing. Also, like mentioned above, the everyday day injections are a pain.
So, I went back to twice a week injections. My hematocrit went back up, but I donate blood every 2 months so it's all good.
Give it a try if you want. If you take HCG and/or an AI make sure to divide them up in 7 daily doses too. Get blood work done before and after and see how you feel.

Once per week was legitimate a decade ago. Times have changed and protocols have improve dramatically. Hell, HCG wasn't recommended years ago either but it surely is now. Simply based on the half life of test the injections should be more than once per week. Pretty much all the top docs in TRT recommend twice weekly now.

My daily protocol is to inject with a slin pin. I mainly do the delts because of the low fat levels. I will use the medial and frontal delts. You are using so little that it doesn’t take anytime at all. I do not use the slin pin in the glutes. I will use a 1.5” 23.
Also, I use a normal syringe to fill the slin pin. I do not have patience to fill directly to the slin pi.

The reason that I started ED was because of the sides on a tren cycle. What a difference! I could not believe a tren cycle without counting the days of when I would be off. Perceptional sides went away. Became a believer in daily injections after that, even for long esthers. Presently using deca with the ED protocol. I do not even feel like I am cycling, other than the results.

I disagree big time. Smaller and more frequent dosing controls side-effects much better and has the added benefit of allowing you to inject with a much smaller size needle. I inject 0.2 -0.25 mL E3D using a 28G 1/2 inch insulin syringe, and have been doing this for about 6 years.

Upside = fewer side-effect from conversion of T to E2 and DHT. That is, assuming you adjust your dosing with labs to stay within physiological range.

Downside = I can't think of any. Perhaps remembering the schedule, but I just plug my E3D dosing schedule into my electronic calendar and I get an alert message when injections are due.
