Decided to go to 2 shots a week, 100mg each...my main reason for doing this is to help lower my estrogen, and keep on a even level...i have seen some muscle gains, more cuts and veins popping out in my triceps, chests, and legs on one shot of 200mg per week...i do workout 6 days a week and have been doing this for years...my question is, will i lose my gains of muscle mass going to 2 shots a week? mathematically i shouldnt but i was just wondering?

I consult for several clinics and I am learning how a 50-75 mg twice weekly injection program can attain a larger "area under the curve" coverage of testosterone than the usual 100-150 mg once a week injection regimen. I actually think body composition and quality of life benefits may be better with the twice a week protocol. So, I would not worry about that at all.
 
Agree with Nelson.

Twice a week injections provides for a much smoother serum level week over week so you should not only feel better but perform better as well.

Been doing it for years and love it:)

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
