3-5 weeks before test start working?

[0kriz]

this is what i have read multiple times on this forum. can some one explain this?
on a cellular level, testosterone make the cells produce protein (muscle), but far as i know this does not take 3-5 weeks from the time when the receptors on a cell gets in contact with testosterone?

also by experience, testosterone make me gain multiple pounds (water), sweat alot and my pain tolerace while working out goes up (placebo?) already after 1 week, some of the test effect comes realy fast.

can someone explain this? is it something i have missed?

this depends on the ester, as I understand it, and how long before stable test levels rise

[0kriz]

The ester have something to say, but even Test E with a long halftime have just a haltime of aprox 10 days, wich means that half of the dosage is alredy absorbed after 10 days? 3-5 weeks = 21-35 days, i dont get it.

[ickythump]

well, I do believe everything is supposed to raise test levels when it's supposed to ester wise, like ace will be what one to three days? but I thought it was more like 3-5 weeks on longer chains before it " kicks in" as they say, as in you have stable higher test levels and therefore feel the effects harder...... hopefully someone with more scientific knowledge can come in to really clarify, or tell me I'm wrong Lolol! either way at least I'll learn too, sorry if my info didn't help

Test E starts working the day you take it!

Test is Test. Esters are bound with the Test and the body takes time to break the ester down to release the Test. Short esters like Acetate has a half life of 3 days (hurts like a mother! my first quad shot) longer esters like Enanthate is about 11 days. The Test has a cumulative affect in the body as more and more Test is used by your body over a cycle. It "normally" takes about 4 weeks to see results from a enanthate. It "normally" takes a week to see results from a Prop ester. No magic, just takes time.

It takes regular enanthate 5-6weeks to fully kick in gear for me atleast

It take 4.5 - 5 half lives to reach a steady state concentration in the body! this explains the long length kick in time

For example prop has a shorter half life so so it take a smaller amount of time to reach steady state concentration

So its all about steady levels then? kinda make sense when i think about it.

gee what gave you that idea lol jkjk

So it's different for everyone?

technically it should only take about 3 weeks for it to reach peak levels...

lets say you inject 500mg on day 1. by day 10.5 it will be half of that and will be just leaving your system by day 21. so on your 21st day of test E the first shot is just finally leaving your system and all the other shots are active at various stages and so your test levels should be at their peak at this point and then you get good gains which continue this way until like week 8 or 9 and then slow due to myostatin lvls.

This is inaccurate information... It takes 4.5-5 half lives to reach steady state concentration of ANY drug whether its test, heart meds or whatever!

Exactly, i study this stuff in University!

enanth, I noticed to kick in in about 3-4 weeks.
