    Test C injection once or twice a week?

    Now that I have been on cycle for 8 of 12 weeks, I am finally getting comfortable with injecting myself. Switching from dorso to ventro really made things easier (thanks Atomini). Anyway, I have been injecting my full 500mg/wk dose in one shot. Now that I am more comfortable with self injects I was wondering if there is any benefit to injecting the balance of my cycle in two injects per week. That is, 250mg every 3.5 days. I have read several posts and there does not seem to be any concensus on this. What is best practice and why?

    Cyp is the longest estered test there is it has a half life of two weeks so I can't imagine splitting up the dosage would make a diff

    ?
    Cyp only has a half life of 6-7 days.
    Undecylenate, Decanoate, and undecanoate are all longer esters.

    Test decanoate has a longer half life and test undecanoate had the longest half life, unless there are other Test esters which I don't know about (which is very possible) but that being said many ppl do split their test cyp dose into twice per week of not for more stable test levels than to decrease estrogen conversion.

    Ha u beat me to it. I doubt knew there was test undecylenate. It's it available in the US, either commercially or thru compounding?

    No test c should be pinned e3.5 days on cycle to keep levels steady. At a trt dose once EW is o

    That's exactly what I was thinking (jim) after I read and over read the description of cypionate, I began my first cycle about a month ego, as 1 a week 500mg but after more reading and senior advice I split my pinning to 2x a week 250mg. I mean its my first cycle aside from the pinning (uncomfortable)x2 I haven't got a really good explanation which way it's the best way. I do have a question. Since your splitting a dose in half 250, instead of 500mg ..., is it going to have less results since the dose is less, I mean think about it what's going to be more productive??? Since the next time you pin the half live its still active!!!!

    I was just considering esters in general.

    I'd seen this before, but didn't want to deal with it...but from everything I can find, undecanoate and undecylenate are the same thing.
