Pinning twice per week...neccessary?

[Arnoldgenes]

I know the common protocol is to pin twice per week to "maintain" blood levels, but is there any real advantages to this? I mean does anyone have any authentic scientific research to cite this claim? If you take a look at this article (http://www.steroid.com/novicecycle1.php), it even states " inject 400mgs of test ONCE a week. Anyone care to share their insight on the matter?

site what claim? the claim that blood levels are better maintained with 2x/week injection for the enth/cyp ester? The longer esters were actually desinged for 1x/week injections but they also were not desinged for the dosages that we take them at. There are not studies out there designed for the bbers. I suggest using the steroid calculator that Anthony Roberts designed.

It is definitely better at maintaining levels injecting 2x week but personally I inject once every 5 days for the enth ester. In fact injecting ED is even better at keeping steady levels but you get to a point of diminshed returns. When the levels fluctuate your body will increase aromatization, i.e. converting the test to estrogen.
