Why aren't ester weights taken into account for cycle planning?
ad
Apparently 250mg/ml of Test Cyp only contains ~~170mg of testosterone and the rest is the ester? I read a substantial amount of beginner guides to cycling and I didn't once come across this information. If you wanted to do a 500mg/week cycle It seems like a pretty substantial deal if your weekly 2cc of Test-C only contained ~340mg of testosterone. That's not a small difference! Why isnt this talked about more?

You're arguing whether it's 6 inches or a half foot.
It's understood and built into the equation.
But let's talk about what really matters... why is a cup of coffee only 6 ounces?
Believe me 500 mgs of test is MORE than enough to make gains. The ester weight is moot at this point
I guess I better tell my trt doc that the 100mg/wk of test cyp he has prescribed me doesn't have 100mg of test in it so he should bump it up.
You are stressing over stuff that doesn't matter.
Exactly but I think he gets the point now
Simple answer is that its not talked about much because no one cares enough to. As long as you are safe and making gains then there is no need to stress the little things
Exactly, Who really gives a crap. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
KISS.
TricepatopsTo much math. Lol. Honestly I don't know but maybe that's what the pros do cause they say they run these 340mgs cycles and it makes it look like they aren't using alot.
Well if you're a beginner that's part of your research and all beginners should at least know about ester weights and functions. That's the first thing I learned a thousand years ago.
I guess my main question is regarding the standard 500mg per week cycle. Is it understood that you should be taking these esters into account? Or is the 500mg/week cycle advice really just 340mg/week they just don't mention this because it complicates stuff.
Im going into week 7 right now of my first cycle, and just yesterday realized I've only been taking 340mg/week. Should I stay at the same dose or up to an actual 500?
So when someone says they take 500mg they are talking about the active hormone (testosterone) plus the ester ( cypionate). That's how it's always been. Keep it simple.
And to answer other question, beginners have no business starting at 500mg a week. Beginners should start low and maybe stay there for first cycle or two. 500mg a week is for mid level. You're a beginner. Be careful
RustyhookerBecause real science doesnt apply. Like folks with few years training hardcore full tilt can do a small 300mg total weekly and add 15lbs becsuse well trsined muscle uses anything input at a better rate wiyh better results
But noone read that....
