Cypionate clearance time

[Marvin_the_Martian]

I've got an important question for the knowledgeable guys out there.

How long would it take to go back to a physiologically normal level of T (6:1 ratio) after an 8 week cycle of 600mg/week of testosterone cypionate?

I have, of course, read the "Detection time" chart available on the net, but I find it hard to believe that test. cyp would be detectable for 3 months after cessation since it's am hormone naturally found in the body and all you need to do is get your level back into normal levels.

Can anyone help me out on this?

Remember: it is the longest lasting ester...

 

[Marvin_the_Martian]

Yeah but the T is still fully released after only 10 days and baseline levels must be reached by day 10 to 14 for a single dose.

Yes, but they do not always test the test/epitest levels. They also search for traceable amounts of a certain compound like testosterone.

2Thick, that's interesting. I didn't knew they could test for exogenous testosterone ... I thought that once it's in the body it has the same chemical makeup than "natural" test.

This brings me to a sub-thread ... would it be possible to use Andy13's formula to avaluate how long it would take to test clean?

Technically, it is the same chemical structure but the esterfied test can be traced even once the cyp has been utilized by your body. I am no bio-chemist but that is what I get from what I have read.

 

[Marvin_the_Martian]

That might make some sense if there's still esterified test present ... but once the ester is hydrolised I don't see how ... unless there are still some metabolites present.

If its an NCAA test, which it most likely is. They test for a 6:1 epitest/Test ratio, which I'm sure you already know. What's great about test is that the "governing body" ie: NCAA or NFL, or Whoever is testing you, doesn't look for actaul Test metabolites and only looks at the 6:1 ratio for Testostorone steroids, such as Prop, Sust, Cyp, etc...So it all depends on how much you take and for how long as to how long it will be detectable. The longer and more you take of the steroid the longer it will be detectable, because it has time to build up with its half life. That's why some guys have gotten nabbed when taking 500mg+ of Sustenon or Omnadren, do to its long lived esters. Now this theory, well actually its a fact, only works with Test, not the other compounds, because the others steroids out there will be detected if you take them too close to a drug test because they CAN test for those metabolites.
