[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 213384, member: 38109"] In reality frequent injections of a longer ester such as cypionate are not exactly mirroring nature either. Most men see little variation in serum testosterone with this kind of protocol. Young men in particular naturally have a pronounced diurnal rhythm in serum testosterone, with a morning peak and and evening trough. I've discussed how this might be imitated with daily injections of a blend of testosterone propionate and a longer ester. I use such a protocol and believe it has subtle benefits compared to having nearly steady serum testosterone. However, it does not provide a continuous recreation of the honeymoon effect you mention in the context of protocol changes. While there are men who seem to do better with less frequent injections, my impression is that this is a minority. With injections of T cypionate once a week, for instance, it's common to see peak serum testosterone be two to three times higher than trough testosterone. That's a pretty severe difference when you consider that a guy is spending a significant amount of time with levels around the extremes. It's also less likely that levels remain in a physiological range. For example, if you don't want your trough testosterone below 500 ng/dL then your peak is going to be well over 1,000 ng/dL. If you limit your peak then your trough may be unreasonably low. Low levels are ok and natural when they occur for a limited time each day. But they may cause trouble if they go on for a day or two.
