Repeating the same cycle over and over

[keoking]

I recently completed my 3rd 500mg Test cycle. I’ve done various other Test/Tren/Deca/Oral cycles over the last 4+ years, but this was my 3rd straight up 500mg Test cycle.

On my 1st, bloods put me at 3500ng/dl. If I got Test checked on the 2nd time, I can’t find them. On the 3rd, bloods put me at 2500ng/dl.

I’ve read threads about receptors and adaptation and yada yada. I always figured that the same dose would produce the same blood level, but that my body would just use it less effectively.

Was the lower blood concentration due to the gear being under dosed, or my body having adapted to gear?

Notice any significant changes in E2 or shbg? Not sure if this is plausible but perhaps changes to your diet, stress, bodyfat% etc had you aromatizing at a greater rate or perhaps shbg had some role to play in free test vs total test

Got my SHBG tested for the first time along with 3rd Test blast, and it was low (12.3 for range of 16.5-55.9). E2 was probably on the high end or slightly over range most of the time. I’ve overdosed AI in the past and suffered. Higher E2 has given me better gains, but I still need to dose AI once the nips get itchy or my skin gets too oily or my sleep suffers.

have you checked steroidcalc or a similar site whether this fluctuation may be possible within your injection intervalls and you simply went in a different times after last pinning?

(androgen) receptor desensitization/saturation/adaption was broscience when I last checked, and your body shouldn’t use it less efficiently either - you’ll obviously need more gear the further you want to push it beyond your natural limit, but 500mg of test should still produce the same total test levels roughly (there may be some age-related reason for your genetically based multiplier slightly decreasing but not by much).
