    Doesn't matter for me. I just take it the same time each day you take it. In the morning.

    like Austin said, doesn't really matter.

    But if you want to get technical, exogenous testosterone spikes 24 hours after administration. So for me, i dose it the following day when using long esters and pinning twice/wk.

    Best time to take an AI is 24 hours after injection.

    Test Cyp peaks at about 72 hours and an AI like Anastrozole has a half life of about 50 hours so both peak at the same time which is exactly what you want for optimization.

    This is the ideal.

    No....Test Cyp peaks at about 72 hours as noted above with a half life of about 5 to 6 days depending upon the man.

    Interesting. My experience has been slightly different. Approximately 24 hours following administration of exogenous testosterone i typically experience a notable increase in E2 and occasionally need to increase my AI - i have always thought this to be a spike in testosterone.

    I stand corrected. Thank you for clearing that up GD.

    it's important to recall that half lives describe populations, not individuals.

    always keep this in mind when considering population statistics...

    I just noticed this.

    So my timing is correct and should remain the same, but my theory needed adjustment. Thanks gain GD!
