When to pin test U before vacation?

[Kevin Garnett]

I've been currently running 250mg of Test C every 3 days for the last few months, and will be gone from November 4-23. I haven't been able to find reliable info on how I should pin, whether I should start Test U now or just pin my 3 week dose the day I leave. Would I be fine to continue using Test C until the 4th and pin 750mg of test U the day I leave?

This is what I have planned on steroid plotter

Like the theory but here is where you might run into a challenge

If you pin 3 weeks worth right before departing you'll have a HUGE spike then a crash.

Since your using Test C you already have established levels in your blood, adding a large Test U injection right before the TSA check point could push you up more than your body would welcome

But...if you want to leverage the pharmacology the best you can


Oct 24th Last Test C injection- Existing Test C declines with an approx 8 day half life

Oct 28th First Test U injection- Test U requires roughly seven days to reach its initial peak

Nov 4th Departure Day!- On the plane as Test C has cleared through fourteen days while the Test U hits its initial seven day peak. Hopefully seated in the first 8 rows!

Remember rough estimates....happy and safe travels!

You won't crash in 3 weeks, test c does not clear in 14 days either. It's half life is about 7-8 days, and it takes 5 times the half-life to clear out. If you are on a legit trt dose like 125 to 150 mg, and then you left for 3 weeks, yeah you're going to feel crappy at the end. You can just double or triple the dose depending on the situation and the timeline, and your gonna be good to go

No need to over think, just take a larger shot right before you leave. If you want to break down the numbers, let's say you took 600 mg the day you leave. It takes four to five half lives of the drug to clear out of your system. 20 days after you take that shot you will still have 17 to 20% of the dose remaining in your system.

20% of 600 is 120mg.

Take 600 to 750 mg the day before you leave or the day that you leave and there's honestly nothing else to think about.

If you're dead set on using test U, take your TRT dose as normal + 2ml of test u on the day you leave. Either is fine. I've gone on vacation mid-cycle on 800+ mg of gear and I just take an extra shot at testosterone on the day I leave and don't worry about anything else, go on vacation, have fun, come home and pick up where you left off

I've had plenty of times in the past where I've gone two or three weeks without taking a shot at all just because life gets in the way, nothing ever happens.

Where are you going? If you have a script, just bring your pharmacy Test and dose your TRT dose. The advices you already got it good and I doubt you will feel any downsides but if you’re worried you could bring some Dbol and use a low dose, 5mg a day would be enough to hold you over without E sides.

 

[dontfyourlife]

Yes, around five half-lives for most of the Test C to clear, but blood levels can drop below your baseline way before that.

By week two roughly 70% of the original Test C will be gone...yes some remains, but what gets released daily is much lower.

As to injecting 600 to750 of Test C before leaving with the assumption is that a larger dose extends coverage.

Technically, a larger dose can keep Test levels elevated longer, but it doesn't change the ester's half life. You're starting at a higher level and following the same declining curve. Possibly extending coverage but... also increasing the risk of side effects from the higher initial Test and Est levels

By weeks two and three, Test levels will have dropped. Some Test C remains, but that doesn't mean blood levels are adequate.

Basically risking elevated Estrogen and it's side affects (like low libido ) early in the trip, followed by a Test crash toward the end.

My opinion..stopping Test C eleven days before departure allows roughly 1.5 half-lives to pass, lowering Test levels before Test U which has a longer release curve with initial peak around seven days (give or take)

Work with overlapping release curves rather than over dosing Test C hoping it lasts the entire trip

Or...just get a script...maybe?

yea i've gone weeks without pinning and have been relatively fine, im on 125mg E3D(so 250mg a week roughly). So with you're second paragraph, you're suggesting I just continue pinning test C and 2ml(400mg) of test U That sounds easy, I'll have to play around with steroidplotter again and see if I misremembered my info of how my spiikes would be. I'm not deadset on Test U I'm just worried and don't wnat my libido to drop, Its been at a crazy high level but it might also be the proviron.

I could try to get a script but the trips in a few weeks it seems like a rush. I wouldn't be injecting 600-750mg of TestC, it'd be Test U unless you had a typo. I wouldn't overdose on test c, itd be test c and then a test u overdose

I'll be going to Turkey. I used to have a script through a clinic but I'd rather avoid paying out of pocket for overpriced test, doubt I can find a provider who'd take my insurance in time.

Wow- very cool country, spent Xmas and NY there 2 years ago.

My favorite things about Turkey....

Bodrum- beautiful coastal town

Primobolan- You can actually go to a local pharmacy and pick up Primo there. It's one of the few countries that actively purchase/prescribe!!!! Now if you have a Dr script and have an "issue" through US customs they will take your meds but not do much more. No script then....iffy call. There is always the mail though

Enjoy your trip and Istanbul at nite is unreal!

It should not be too hard to find steroids there, Test and other things should be available.

Are you referring to libido or are you referring to erections because libido has nothing to do with your ability to perform, you can walk around with a raging boner and no libido and vice versa. You can always bring the proviron and some cailis with you. That'll cover libido and performance. But as mentioned above you should be able to source anabolics in Turkey. A few years back you could buy them right over the counter

I heard this but I saw conflicting info, I had a night in turkey two years ago where I flew in with a script no issues, but I have a bunch of stops this time as I'm visiting my girl's family in the UK so I wanted to avoid any hiccups. I have to see if its easily available because that will make it 100x easier than trying to dose test u.

I'm referring to both, my cock is a hair trigger and I'm down to **** 24/7 like an animal and do plan on bringing the proviron and cialis with me in case, but when I'm consistent with my test dosing I've noticed that the proviron could be used sparsely because I have noticed more hair shedding when I continually take it. I keep seeing conflicting info on test being OTC in turkey, I hope it is because that would make it 100x easier.

also **** man im an idiot, i'm running 125mg E3D for 250mg a week total just caught that error.

I ran it on steroid plotter and what you said about the Test C until leaving +800mg test U would be the best it seems to keep stable~ levels. I'd drop below 1k near the end but if I could find test OTC id be good, I just want to avoid having any issues at all as i might even decide to extend the trip near the end. I could also be overthinking it because I didn't have issues last time keeping a vial(prescription) in my bag but ive never brought it to heathrow.

I traveled to UK (and a lot of other places in Europe, not Turkey though) with scripted Test without issues. As long as you have the original vial with your name and pharmacy on it it shouldn’t be an issue.
