    well, i am defiantly more versed in orals than injections. But if you have a 10.5 day half life you would theoretically have 250mg left over from the initial 500, but depending on how your body processes (this is where these esters can be doing something else im not aware of, we didn't learn steroids in school, lol) the peak blood levels should be closer to about 5 days.

    Makes you wonder why it takes 4-5 weeks for long chain esters to kick in. Seems like there'd be enough to see something sooner than that.

    Another related question; if you want to frontload a regimen of 500mg/wk test, you'd use 1g the first injection, right? Well let's say that your dose is 250mg/ml and you don't want to shoot 4ml at once. Could you go 500mg 2x for that first week, then go 250mgx2 thereafter? See that's why I want to know the formula so I can build graphs in excel, etc...

    check my math.
    after you do all of this math, and load into exel (which i would like to see, cool idea) you will see what I meant about guesstamating averages and plotting it on graph paper, its easier than the math makes it seem.
