Why 3 weeks for Test Enth?

[BigJuice777]

I have read everything I can on this forum and others, and I know it takes more time for the Enth ester to drop off and allow the test to be absorbed. If the half life of this stuff is 10-12 days, then the first couple injections should be almost completely out of my system come week 3.... right?

My question is: What happened to all the Test I injected the first week? If I am not feeling any real effects of the Test till week 3-4 (I've read even as late as weeks 5-6), then what happened to all that test that I have been injecting?

It just seems weird that I can inject 500mg of test the first week and it will be completely out of my body before I even feel the initial effects. It would make sense if the life of each injection was 6-ish weeks.... but it's not.

I feel I'm a pretty smart guy and have done my homework.... but I guess I seem to be missing something. Can you guys shed some light on this?

Thanks!!

I think you will find the answer is to do with peaking blood concentration of the enth

The half life simply halves the amount over the duration


eg.

week one you inject 500mg of which 250mg is processed
week two you inject 500 mg of which 250 is processed pluss 175 from the first week

the process goes on untill you peak and maintain that concentration


I hope this makes some sence

i think the graph is wrong but it shows the build up

That does make MUCH more sense.... So it literally is just slow to 'process' and build up. Lets say you did one injection of 500mg.... do you know how long it would take your body to process the full 500mg? are we looking 3 weeks or more like 6?

[MBMETC]

It will never process the full initial 500mgs it's halved weekly that is why we run 12 week cycle
Example if you did 1 500mg shot, in 1week there would be 250 mgs, in week 2 there will be 125mgs, week 3 62.5mgs and so on. I think I got this right

[BigJuice777]

That is exactly what I wanted to know! that makes sense.... so the life of the 500mg is more like 6-7 weeks, which is why it takes a few to build up. Each shot compounds and adds to the previous ones until you maintain a steady blood levels around week 3-4. I feel much better now

Thanks.

When dealing with steroid esters, you should focus on active life rather than half-life. These drugs don't break down at a steady rate like radioactive isotopes. A single shot of Test E will only be in your body at a significant concentration for around 2 weeks.
