[QUOTE="madman, post: 211153, member: 13851"] Comes down to your T-dose/injection frequency let alone where your SHBG sits. Most on trt are injecting 100-200 mg T/week whether once weekly, twice weekly (every 3.5 days), M/W/F, EOD, or daily. Some may need what would be considered the higher-end dose but it is far from common. Most can easily achieve a healthy, high let alone absurdly high FT level on 100-150 mg T/week when split into twice weekly (every 3.5 days), M/W/F, EOD let alone daily injections. Although some men will do well injecting once weekly many men on trt tend to inject more frequently as in twice weekly (every 3.5 days), M/W/F/, EOD, or even daily. I would be more concerned with where your TT/SHBG sits as not only will it have a significant impact on free testosterone but can also dictate what injection frequency may suit you best. If your SHBG is high/highish then you may fair well using once-weekly/twice-weekly injections especially if you inject strictly sub-q. Although it is not a given as some men with high/high SHBG inject more frequently. Keep in mind that when injecting once weekly that there will be a significant difference in peak--->trough especially when injecting strictly IM let alone blood levels will not be as stable throughout the week which can result in having a negative impact on one's mood, energy, libido, erectile function, recovery throughout the week. In cases of low/lowish SHBG, many tend to fair better injecting more frequently (daily/EOD). Injecting more frequently as in daily or EOD will clip the peak--->trough and result in more stable blood levels throughout the week. Comes down to the individual and what works best. Some men prefer the highs--->lows when injecting once weekly. Others not so much! Whether one is injecting strictly sub-q or shallow IM most are using LDSS fixed insulin syringes 27-31G various needle lengths. Numerous benefits using an LDSS fixed insulin syringe as injections are virtually pain-free, minimal trauma to the tissue, minimizing any waste of medication, easier for many to measure accurate doses when injecting lower volumes and you can draw/inject using the same needle to boot.
