[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 189639, member: 38109"] For me, testosterone propionate absorbs too rapidly to be injected EOD. Even ED injections produce excessive swings in serum testosterone. I've had good results with daily use of a blend of propionate and enanthate. A 3:4 ratio by weight gives an acceptable approximation of the natural variation in serum testosterone. Ideally the ratio is individually tuned so that the daily trough in testosterone is about 40% below the peak. The total dose is titrated to provide a physiological peak, around 600-800 ng/dL for normal SHBG. Your SHBG is a bit below average, but is still not considered particularly low. The only implication is that you don't need to have total testosterone quite as high to achieve a good level of free testosterone. Injections should be done immediately after waking. In normal men testosterone rises in the early morning hours, peaking around 8 am. This TRT protocol puts one a little out of sync, as you're experiencing a trough in testosterone first thing in the morning. Therefore it is probably a good thing that propionate raises serum testosterone rapidly, allowing one to "catch up" to the natural pattern within a couple hours. [/QUOTE]
