+ 8 Testosterone Decanoate Bloodwork
Decided to run PA’s test D for my “cruise” to see how it stands up to the Cyp and Enan esters. With its weight compared to C&E I was expecting it to come back lower in serum concentrations but couldn’t find a definitive answer anywhere. So after 8+ weeks with test D in my blood I got my labs pulled and here’s what I got.
Protocol was as stable as possible:
~525mg/wk split into daily microdoses.
.3mL per day equivalent to 75mg. Jano came back appx 250 so that’s how I ran it even though label says 200.
Labors came back 1591ng/dl 12 hours after injection.
Test C&E equivalent comes back at 2700-3000ng/dl
So because of the decanoate ester weight/depot release test D yields appx 53% as much serum levels as the mainstream C&E
So for those of us that use the 5.9 rule to approximate our serum levels while using C&E, the multiplier for D is conservatively 3.1
Overall worth the money in my opinion if it’s all you can get your hands on. Price is on point to get the equivalent levels by doubling your dose. Stuff is pipless, smooth, and I’m sure is great for diluting harsher compounds. Good stuff in my book

"So for those of us that use the 5.9 rule to approximate our serum levels while using C&E, the multiplier for D is conservatively 3.1"...um..what?
Just when I think I know what I'm doing (or talking about), I read a post like this and it humbles me pretty quickly.. I have a lot to learn.
I gotchu brother. The 5.9 rule is something the community has kind of come up with over the years. Realistically it falls under the “bro science” category of knowledge but it tends to hold true consistently ±200ng/dl. Basically it’s a quick multiplier of 5.9ng/dl per every 1mg of injected Testosterone E or C. It works for those esters because they are so close in bioavailability (71% & 70% respectively) so let’s say you’re taking 1000mg of test E/wk your bloodwork should show anywhere from appx 5700-6100 ng/dl. Decanoate ester has a much lower bioavailability (62%) so naturally it would come back lower on a blood test. After getting mine done I found the multiplier to be appx 3.16 so conservatively 3.1ng/dl per mg of test D.
interesting.... that makes a lot of sense actually. Thanks for the lesson dude, seriously appreciate it
My pleasure
the more we know the bigger we get
Who posted those Janos? This does not seem right at all.

I was just curious who actually had the Janos done? Source or individual....
Oh my bad brother, source, it’s on their thread.
That's what I was thinking. I'd expect between 2200-3000 total test at 525mg per week. I ran Decanoate a couple cycles several years ago at 500mg and my total was +2800. I know everyone's different, but 1500's seems a bit low.
Interesting, are you typically a high responder to anabolics? 2800+ is equivalent to E&C which simply wouldn’t be possible normally with the difference in ester weight of D. Curious if you’re one of the lucky fellas who get wild high numbers even at TRT levels haha
See now I am. I should get it and try it to see what I end up at. I could do test c 120mg split 3 times and be around 1200.
Yes I responded well myself. You should give it a go. I've ran Test D when in the field where I can't pin as often.
Nice, give it a run and let us know how it turns out!
Interesting! Thanks for sharing. I have some TestD-500 from a different source I’m excited to use for blasts but was curious about this.
Curious what everyone thinks about total mg load vs total vs free test what matters the most? I see so many people get great serum levels off prop so why not run low doses of that instead?
This is just opinion, but my belief is total is more important, technically, simply because the more total you have the free will follow. I’m still waiting on the results of free test to come in, all I have for now is the total and just wanted to share asap
Thanks for running this experiment. I have some of the same test so very helpful to know what to expect..
If you get bloodwork done I’ll be curious to see if there’s any difference in how you metabolize it
