3 weeks to soon?
ad
I know longer esters take roughly 4-6 weeks to fully "kick in". However, if I was to get bloods done 3 weeks into my cycle, do you think that would be too soon? I am running 500mg test e and 300mg deca.

I might be wrong but I think Frankie is correct that after 1 shot of test e you'll have your highest levels somewhere around 36 hours. (median between 24 to 48hrs).
That being said, if you create a half life chart you can see that levels max out after a period of time giving rise to the waiting for 4 to 6 weeks.
Below is a crude chart. Each column representing a day; each row marking the half life. the injection is 100mg. The totals are the theoretical amount of test in your system.
This is my hypothetical and does not represent any form of test but I think helps to visualize what's happening in your body.
100 =100
050, 100 =150
025, 050, 100 =175
012, 025, 050, 100 =187
000, 012, 025, 050, 100 =187
So perhaps you'd get your highest reading 36 hours after your last shot on week 6.
Greg, thank you for the time you put into this response! Definitly +1 from me for sure! I am not looking for peak levels, only to confirm that they are indeed raising. I had my bloods done before starting my cycle, so I know where they were and should be able to tell after 3 weeks that they are rising. I suppose the reason I am also VERY anxious to confirm test levels is because I decided to run the boccagz gear I picked up a while back. After taking to numerous people that ran it, I felt comfortable enough to give it a go. I still would just prefer the blood work to confirm...
Yes 3 weeks is too soon. At 3 weeks your levels will show elevated but if you're testing for a brand or source, 3 weeks will not give a full review as to how potent the test is.
Frankieam sure i read somewere that test e takes 48 hours to hit full peak levals ...
48 hours?! Whats with all of this 4-6 week talk then? I'm not looking to test full peak levels, just to confirm test IS rising on the test e.
Frankie is correct. 48-72 hours you can get a good reading on how potent your test is. I get mine done from my TRT doc 2 days after injection and its always right up there.
sounds like I will be waiting till at least week 5. I suppose I was just getting antsy to check my test levels! No point in wasting blood work though. Seems like I am already feeling an energy boost and better libido...probably a placebo effect as I just now rounding out my first week!
wait till you're built up. You're not too many Weeks off. Just keep lifting and growing
Wait till week 7, concentrations will be at its highest. Week 5 minimum if you cant wait. Right now I'm in week 5 but I will wait out another couple weeks before I draw blood.
