From what I have read, Test Cyp and/or Test E has an effective life of approx 5-7 days. Some Bros, shoot every fifth day. An Anti-Aging dude wo most of you are familar with advocates shooting Cyp every 7 days, but suggests a small hit 200-300 of HCG on days 5 and 6 before new shot on day 7. His article suggests that because HCG supposedly stimulates the body's natural production of test, administering small doses on days 5 and 6 helps to offset the normal process of the reduction in test levels from the shot towards the end of your weekly dosing schedule. Both approaches seem to make some sense to me (I am a self-taught novice at this point...lol). According to the advocate of the 7-day schedule employing HCG on days 5 & 6, he claims that approach helps in two ways: (1) it "keeps the horse in the barn" -as he puts it- by maintaining testicular size and function throughout the course of the cycle, making PCT less of an issue at the end; and (2) it supports a more regular average test level throughout the week, thereby avoiding the potential for a bit of a test level roller-coaster. The 5-day shooting schedule guys, aren't addressing testiticular size and function, but ARE dealing with roller-coaster effect.
My questions are as follows: (1) What do the more experienced guys here think is the better of two approaches regarding test dosing schedule?; and (2) Has anyone ever tried/considered adding a transdermal test gel for days 5 & 6? Is the second approach too unpredicable without weekley blood tests to be sure that you are dosing properly?
