How many of you guys are running once a week injections of cyp or enanthate? What's your dose and are you running an AI if so?

Keep trying these split 2x per week protocols of 140 or less and even though my numbers look fine I feel like maybe I should just be shooting 180-200mg once a week. Seems like so many guys just pin 1ml once a week and never run into any issues

I have done it before. When I go back on TRT or just a tad under soon I plan on just pinning 1X a week. No AI.

Bro I’ve been running cyp once a week for over a decade..
OMG did I just say decade..holy fuck me old. 47 on trt for that long..
Tried it 2x and 1x a week. 1 x is the best. And easiest. No AI unless you need it.
Are you seeing a dr or are you in your own “trt”.
Because trt is for life not for a short haul…
Get blood work done and see.

I have a lump that I’ve had for years.
300mg a week does not flare it up at all. And that’s my weekly dose.
So I doubt 140 is going to make anyone need a ai. But only bloods will tell. ✌️

I do not understand this stable thing…
Is it really that bad if you do a shot once a week..
Is it really noticable this “stable thing””
Not really sure what people are referring too. Does it make you feel any different.

no not bad, if some people suffer from bad e2 sides, one time injection will just spike levels, cause acne and all that. for most people once a week should be just fine

I'm seeing a doctor but he lets me do whatever I want so long as I'm not fucking myself up.

I'm very sensitive to AI and try to avoid it. I know that cyp wasn't even really originally intended to be shot more that once a week or even technically every other week. I wonder if the big spike, and then giving the body time to process all those metabolites like dht and e2 before interfering by doing another injection actually may benefit some.

I Do 200 per week split into daily injections. I am very sensitive to elevated e2 metabolites. I would feel like shit and gyno would flare with 1 shot per week. If it works for you without an AI, go for it.

Before TRT, I was depressed, fat and always anxious. I feel awesome now. It took forever to get to this protocol and am glad to do daily to feel good. Plus it's subq with a 30 inch insulin syringe. Don't even feel it.

I think more than 1x week injection is only necessary if you are experiencing side effects. For instance, I was having sore nipples at 1x/week, but swiching to 2 fixed that. YMMV

Hey everyone, I am not on TRT yet but have been researching. I found this chart on T Nation that made more sense with what is going on visually.
This was for 160 mg/week

You can see the average would basically be the same for weekly vs twice weekly but just such smaller variance in the peaks and troughs.
I imagine he used the 4 data points that are labeled on the chart to feed into an excel model that produced the blue and orange lines.
That post also mentioned that everyone has a different volume of distribution and clearance rate so you can't just take 160mg/week and expect to mirror that chart. It is also why someone else's dosage is not really relevant in general.

What a weird scale... You'd think the bottom axis should be in 7 day increments.
