SubQ absorbtion question with T ?

Guys, is it possible with subQ injection of test Cyp that your blood work shows good T levels but you dont feel the affects as well as a shot in the delt muscle even if T levels are exactly the same?
 
Placebo(?)...you're expecting it to be different and your brain conned you in to believing it actually happened when in reality, nothing changed. Now that's not to say that we all have some kind of preference to injection locations and methods.
 
Yes. Blood levels are blood levels. If your E levels are different, you will feel different but all things being equal, it's not whether you inject into the muscle or sub-q.
 
Along these same lines I was wondering something similar. Does the half life result from the T being slowly absorbed out of the muscle or fat into the blood stream, or due to the body metabolizing the injection to separate the T from the oil ??, or both. I had read that muscle has more blood flow than fat so the injection into muscle will leave the muscle faster due to the blood flow than if injected into fat. As you decrease the time between injections it all seems less relevant because there are multiple injection locations emitting T and the half lives of each injection overlap. I am not noticing any troughs yet with injections E3D.
 
Supposedly SubQ provides more stable levels due to slow absorption but realistically, most people will be hard pressed to notice a difference.

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.
