Steroid Half Lives, Formulas, Confused...

more importantly how is it you are going to put this into exel through the weeks?
you have to do almost 52 days of math per cycle and add the next cycle on top of your numbers. it takes 5 half lives for a drug considered 0 or not doing anything

so
week 1
injection1
day
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14........
injection 2
4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18......

this is a big stack that will add up with these long esters. for the rest of the population we could care less and rely on theory. if you want to be mathmatical about it, you have alot of work to do it CORRECT. you could half ass it, but thats alot of work to have something tell you what you could do in your head reallly

Yeah, eventually you get overlap with multiple injections. If you could know formulaically what the active blood level mg of steroid was on any given day, however, I think even the overlap wouldn't be an issue. You'd just calculate for each injection seperately, then add the decaying half life of the previous injection. Problem is, anywhere you go online, they only care about what the drug is at it's half life day. How much is active in between? Which also makes me not understand why it takes so long for the effect (increased protein synthesis) to occur, (4-5 weeks). I guess noone cares, so I'll have to keep searching.
