Infrequent Dosing

I realize that EOW dosing isn't popular on the forums for various reasons and I certainly understand in most men why this is not feasible. I have talked to 3-4 guys over the years, all older than me, that state they've been using this dosing regimen for years and like it. I recently moved to Missouri and was having a conversation over the weekend with one of my neighbors that is 50 y/o and has been doing this a couple years. He hasn't done extensive labs like most of us do but says his SHBG is in the mid 40s. I'm wondering if mid to high shbg guys could make this work long term? This guy as well as the others I've talked to state they feel consistently well. If anyone on here is using this dosing schedule, please provide some input on your experience.
 
I have one friend that doses testosterone once every two weeks. He really thinks it's perfect for him and has zero issues.
 
I think this is kinda in line with my “mini cycles” idea. I am high SHBG, but when I was doing every 3.5 days injections, my E2 sky rocketed and I felt like crap.

Please post up if you try 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.
