active life is active life?

thanks magic. If i follow you you are saying that a half life can be one of two things.
1. 50% of the product has been excreted through metabolism and other factors where it has actualy left the body
2. 50% of the product is inactive, does not mean it has left the body, but prehaps has been shuttled elsewhere to places where it will have no desired affect.

This is incorrect!
Anytime a drug is in your system it is working. However, the degree of its impact is often based on the amount present. This is why the focus is typically on building up and stabilizing levels. Thus, the remaining 50% is still working (still active) but at a significantly reduced degree.

This is why long esters came into being...to be shot once a month.
For example, let's say you shoot 250mgs of Enth on the first of the month. With an 8-day (GENERIC, IT'S REALLY 9 - 10) half life you're down 50% of hard working Testosterone but this is a scant half of what the bb’er needs operating, though it’s fine for the HRT’er. By day-16, or the 2nd half life there's 25% (half the 50) left and again still working, by day-24 (3rd half life) it's down to 12.5% and by the first (4th half life) down to a mere 6.25%, but you're ready for another injection.

Whether you feel it working is subjectively immaterial, as long as there are no contraindications (conflicting medications; thyroid, pituitary or other glandular issues) then the drug has no choice but to impact the body.

That’s why we're incredulous of the so-called ‘Non-responders’ to Testosterone. Granted on occasion one of the above issues is negating Test effectiveness, or AI’s and Serms are to blame, or the gear is just bad, but more often it’s a CHECKLIST problem and one or more of the following are not in place:


STEROID CHECKLIST
