    This method seems to align itself most closely with the average finding of studies (among dozens of participants). And we're talking plasma half-life, not elimination half-life (which is basically active life).
    Bonaparte,

    Do you have any points of reference for the 0.8 for active life.

    No problem to make the adjustments, just hard to be certain where the true facts lie.

    .8 is for half life.
    None off the top of my head (or on my computer), but I've been deabating and thinking about this for a few years and that just seems the most accurate (and is the consensus among the most knowledgeable minds on many AAS sites).
    But there is no "true fact", since there are many factors that come into play and will affect half life and active life. This is why you're really just wasting your time with this, since "roid calculators" already exist, but they aren't that accurate since this is biology and random probability in action, not concrete mathematics.

    Bonaparte,

    I will create a version of the spreadsheet using 0.8 for each carbon on the ester and see how it looks, my guess is that the only difference will be the scale of delivery and the time to PCT will be different.

    I will post up how the same course looks on each calculation method

    Bonaparte,

    I have adjusted the half life inputs to 0.8days per carbon atom.

    Do you agree they are right now?

    Thanks for pointing out the roid calculator, I had not seen that before, it will be helpful to see their inputs.
