Ulter said:Right but the blood level of this repeated dosing would not be the same. That's my point. By the 6th week your blood levels would be nearly twice as high with deca as with NPP.
I disagree. Even though NPP levels stabilize fast, and deca levels continue to rise for several weeks, you have to remember -- blood levels of each start at zero. If you inject 700mg/week of something, blood levels cannot become greater than (the equivalent of) 700mg, no matter how long you let them build up. In this case, by week 6 you have injected a total of 4200mg of either NPP or deca. Just because most of the NPP has dissolved into the blood, and more of the deca has "built up" -- it doesn't mean the deca has built up in the BLOOD. The portion that is "building up" is still esterified, and waiting in the muscle for release. Eventually, the rate that the esters break down equals the rate that you inject more steroid. At this point, blood levels are stable, and blood concentrations will be equal, whether using NPP or deca. This is assuming the weight of the esters is equal, in which case more mg of deca is actually needed to equal the same amount of base steroid in NPP (because the weight of the ester in deca is greater than the weight of the ester in NPP, more is needed to provide the same amount of base steroid). Also, you can't dwell on the fact that fewer mgs of deca can potentially produce more size gains than NPP. Because the ester waits around in the muscle longer, it has more time to artomitize than NPP. The additional size gains from deca are due to estrogen.
