Heres a bit more that could be added :
What alot of people do not understand, is that when you dose your injectables at eg 100mg/ml, unless you are using Base hormone, you are actually NOT getting 100mg of the hormone.
Labs attach the ester to the hormone in order to slow down the breakdown/release of the hormone into your system. The general rule is that, the longer the Ester (how long the half life of hormone is) the less hormone you will be getting mg for mg.
Half life is the time from when you inject a hormone, until when it has reached 50% of injected dose.
EG Testosterone Enanthate has a half life of 5-7 days depending upon ones metabolism. that means that if you inject 100mg of testosterone enanthate, in 5-7 days, your body will have used and disposed of 50mg (or 50%)
anyway, when using AAS, the most important thing you can do to minimize side effects, is to keep your levels as stable as possible. that may mean injecting smaller doses more frequently. your body works hard to balance its hormones, hence why if you increase or decrease an AAS or add something to your cycle, your mood is more likely to become unstable for about 2 weeks until your levels stabilize.
Personally, I will pin Test E or Test C twice a week.
I HATE WHEN I SEE SOME PEANUT ONLY PINNING TEST PROP ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. MAKES NO SENSE! but there is really is alot of misinformation out there. here is a guide to help plan your cycles properly to make sure that your levels dont drop sub PAR and encourage more side effect. Especially worth noting when doing orals.

It is also of importance to note that the ester has weight in your dose.
EG testosterone Enanthate only has approximatly 71mg of testosterone per 100mg of 'hormone'. the other 29mg is the ester attached.
so people that are only injecting 200-250 mg of test E a week, are getting 140-175 mg of hormone. While this is above your natty test production, (unless supplementing HCG and or Clomid) is it really worth shutting down your natty test for such minimal elevated levels?
Personally, I never recommend anything under 400-500mg of a longer estered testosterone for supplementation.
Its also interesting to note that while test prop's ester is shorter than test Ace, test ace actually has more test mg for mg than test prop, also you can pin every two days and still keep levels very stable.
Below I will attach the table for hormones and ester weights.

Something to think about, and take into consideration when planning a cycle.
Hope it can help.
