Test P for TRT?

ad

I’ve had a few friends of mine swear that using Test P for their TRT is superior to using long estered Test E or C. I was wondering if any of y’all have tried this before and what your thoughts are on it.

I've run out of bottles and had to stretch a bottle of prop out for a couple of months. It may not be ideal but I felt great on 50mg of prop 2 times a week. I, I really don't notice any pros or cons. I used to enjoy pinning myself everyday.. now that I'm older I'd rather pin less. Less chance of developing an infection maybe, from less shots?

Kind of silly to do that.. If they think it is superior then more power to them. Let's see how they feel about that 10 years from now Lol I've got mine dialed in so I only need 1 shot every 10 days.

One shot every ten days? Please elaborate on what ester you are using? Do you find your levels remain fairly stable towards the second half of those ten days?

Rx is 1shot (200ml) of test C every two weeks. Started to notice a dip by the end of the second week, doc even said I would notice a little drop during that second week. Said the risks of more frequent pinning outweighed the benefits of more frequent pinning. After some playing around on my own I have found 1shot of 250mg of sust to be ideal. Energy levels and focus remain consistent, and my trough is around 600ng/dl.

Pinning gear ED is tedious enough when you are getting great results from a cycle - injecting ED just for a tiny bit of prop is in no way worth the time and effort. You would probably waste more in the barrel in dead space than you would use over the week!

That’s what I was thinking too. I am a fan of my twice a week injection schedule. Pinning every day or eod for trt just sounds crazy to me.

Yep stick with twice a week with a longer ester, you will also avoid the ups and downs of the hormone fluctuation with the Test prop. I do understand where your pals are coming from, the prop if you pin it before bed will come into play in the morning so it feels similar to natural test production and then it dips towards the end of the day. But just to inject 20mg per day, and lose 10 to 20mg in dead space then no way!

And with the long esters I have a bit more wiggle room if I have to shift injection days due to travel or work.

Exactly, you won't just fall flat if you don't inject for a few days. This is coming from a Prop lover too! lol

Wouldn't you likely have to to micro doses if you are injection every other day and staying in the "trt" levels? Would be wierd and waste of pinning for me
