Hey everyone, I’m using a test blend that has a good amount of test prop in it. Test cyp test phenyl prop and test prop to be exact. Going to be getting bloods pulled in the next couple weeks and I’m wondering what is the standard protocol for checking test levels when using prop. As in how long after injection to wait? Same day or next?

Most of whats out there is Bro Science, I dont believe there is a single study out there dealing with this issue. My guess is to get tested within the window of the half life of what you are injecting.

Depends on what you are looking for in the test. If you want to see the peak(highest level), test day after injection. If you want to see your lowest levels, test the day before injection.

For example, I test the day before injection on TRT because I want to make sure that I don't go below a certain level.

thanks man, that’s what I was thinking, I inject first thing in the morning so will just do it on the evening before they close

I've brought a pre-loaded shot before to take in the parking lot immediately after getting bloodwork, to be certain I'm at the lowest level. :32 (18)::32 (14):

You are NOT going to get a true reading from any one specific ester if you are running a Tri blend. Though you can still get your total and free test numbers.

My point is it doesn’t matter when you draw blood. The reading won’t be true? The prop half life is 48-72 hours, The cyp is 10 days.

reading will be true yes. but test cyp half life is 10 days but bloodwork on once a week injections when done day after injection of pharma grade for me on 200mg puts me at 1200 where as day before injection puts me at 800. Big difference regardless of half life, half life is MUCH different then peak time.

The three different esters will peak at different times. Test prop peaks at 14 hours and Test cyp peaks at 36 hours.

I test for test c on day 7, day of inject.

The lowest point is where the doc's are looking for , guidelines of what is charted in the med field is the lowest point.

Not sure if I would care about knowing where I am with all 3 esters but rather the lowest point of the slowest ester.
