Test Prop intake schedule question (prehaps more mathmatical than chemical related)

[mick86]

Say you were going to take 500mg of test prop per week, and you were going to take it every day that would be simple enough to break down (500/7 = 71.4mg per day) but if you were going to take it every other day here is where I get confused.

Method 1
If you take it EOD with in each two 7 day blocks, in the first week you would have 4 shots and the second 3. Does this mean that you would divide the total weekly dose by four (500mg/4 = 125mg per EDO) in the first week and three (500mg/3 = 166.7mg per EOD) in the second, then repeat for future weeks? Here is an example of method 1:

Week1
Mon shot 125mg
Tues
Wed shot 125mg
Thurs
Fri shot 125mg
Sat
Sun shot 125mg
-------------------------------
Week2
Mon
Tues shot 166.7mg
Wed
Thurs shot 166.7mg
Fri
Sat shot 166.7mg
Sun

(Repeat)

Although this seems logical to me I have not seen it described anywhere so am looking for some confirmation. Would this be the best method to keep blood levels steady of is there another method for doing this, prehaps using an equal amount for each injection.

Method 2
I thought about dividing the total weekly dosage by 3.5 (500mg/3.5 = 143mg per EOD). Although at the end of the first week 571mg would be used (higher than the 500mg desired), after 2 weeks 1000mg would be used(the desired total for 500mg a week after 2 weeks). This way you would take the exact same dose every other day, and seems the most likely alternative answer. It was actually my initial idea, but then I thought that 3.5 was not the correct number as its not like u a physically doing 3 and a half injections a week. Thats when I thought of the method I first described to you. Here is an example of method 2:

Week1
Mon shot 143mg
Tues
Wed shot 143mg
Thurs
Fri shot 143mg
Sat
Sun shot 143mg

Week2
Mon
Tues shot 143mg
Wed
Thurs shot 143mg
Fri
Sat shot 143mg
Sun

(Repeat)

Although this question is in relation to test prop it would be revelant to other similarly estered compounds. An explanation as to the correct answer would be very usefull thanks.

Seems like your complicating things a little mate. I ran prop for 10 weeks 200mg EOD. Just keep it simple! That worked fine for me great gains no bloating and cut me a little.

As for your blood levels you could do 100mg ED, but i dint see much difference doing it ED to EOD. IMO you would be fine wit EOD.

[mick86]

Yeah I thought I may have been over thining it lol. Still I suspect that there is an optimal metod for keeping blood levels even with eod shots. Things would be much easier if there were an even number of days in the week.

[nowdenlid]

it dont have to be spot on ,as long as you are injecting ed or eod at a stedy leval....

weeks 1-10 100mgs eod would be fine

weeks1-10 50/75 mgs ed would be better....

you dont have to look at as in uneven days in a week you can do it months so just say 30 days= 1 month so if your gonna do eod shots that would be 15 shots in 30 days so that is stedy......easy......

[mick86]

Yeah I see ur point, just dividing the total amount of mgs per week by 3.5 gives a good enough result. Though dosages wont line up exactly with the calander week all the time, over every 2 weeks dosage will be exactly the desired amount. a

That will be a lot easier to follow than what I did las time, lol.

Your method number 2 is the correct one for accurate dosing. With EOD injections, you will have 7 injections over a two week period. 500mg x 2 = 1000mg, then divide by 7 = 142mg per injection.

100mg EOD is 350mg/week. He wants to use 500mg/week.

75mg ED would give him close to his goal.

Thats true but I just used 500mg as an example because that is what I would use next time. Im actually inquiring because im trying to advise a friend who plans on using 250mg per week (to low of a dose in my opinion) so its more the theary that is important rather than the exact numbers.

Thanks, you arrived at the same result (apart from 1mg due to my rounding up) but through a differnt method.

Interesting...In my humble opinion, I agree w STED- round up to 200mg EOD
