Well, when you come off testosterone your body will naturally taper down smoothly. But when you do it yourself as you outlined, you're fluctuating your serum levels several times, causing serious hormonal imbalances, peaks, dips, etc.. Estrogen management would be quite the task! Furthermore; you're losing the compounding effect of testosterone. Your first 2 weeks and last 2 weeks are worthless for progress. Basically shutting down HPTA for no reason.

Use one dose from start to finish. Tapering off is something of the early 70's. We don't do that anymore.
