TRT split dosage

Hey All

Would I get better results splitting my dose to 2 times a week? Currently I am pinning on a Sunday and doing Test cyp

Results being more stable mood, muscle gain.

You might feel better, it is not a general rule though. I have tried once, twice and three times a week protocols, best for me is twice/week. Some guys do EOD and daily pins.
A lot depends on your SHBG and how you metabolise test. There is no doubt that splitting it decreases the peaks and troughs and your steady state will be consistently higher than a peak dose. The thinking is less peaks and troughs also moderates aromatization. Again, some guys feel better splitting, others don't. I don't think you'll have much impact on muscle, it will be more on mood libido and E2 levels.


I've found it takes about 6 weeks minimum to really evaluate if a change in dose or protocol works, try twice a week and give it 6 weeks. Have trough bloods done before you start and again after the 6 weeks, this will give you a fair idea of the actual effect as well as see what the impact on your mood/libido/general mind set is.

Thanks for a speedy reply. I must say since my last bottle change I have a massive increase in mood. I think the last vial was really under dosed. Was wondering out of interest sake. Have you had any experience with pinning sub Q and moods etc

There was a dosing problem with a particular supplier so it could be. Thankfully it seems sorted now. I did subq for awhile. Honestly I just feel better with IM. I can’t quantify that but if I was forced to I just feel more settled. Hardly scientific but hey. Again I’d try it and see. The only reason for subq that I’ve read about is estrogen control, I’m not sure if that’s even a fact, and I’m changing my view on constantly chasing estrogen anyway. Again, you got to find your protocol that keeps you in a sweet spot.

Thanks. Yeah it was from that lab. I just thought it was the "honey moon" phase that was over. And just thought let me just try and see. and after switching I can definitely feel the difference.

I will investigate the sub-q a bit more thanks
