timing of injection to hitting the gyn

[a7u]

Noob here with a question about the timing of taking the shot vs. when to workout.

I am 50, got an HRT Rx for cyp. Not a bodybuilder but I do Cross Fit to stay in shape for alpine mountaineering (remote peaks, glaciers---not rock climbing). I need tons of work capacity/stamina for climbing.

Just did 2nd of 10 weekly cyp injections for this HRT cycle. Dose is 200mg. After the 1st injection (1st week) I thought I was sold false goods---didn’t notice a thing. Did my 2nd weekly injection Wednesday evening. Woke up Thursday morning feeling like I could climb Everest before lunch then plow Scarlett Johanssen ‘til sundown. Wow, I was on rocket fuel all morning. Nothing at all the first week but suddenly, yep, I really did get a vial of test.

By the time I hit the gym Thursday evening I was feeling more normal. Still “up” but not on the rocket ride like in the morning. HERE’S MY QUESTION: should I time the injection so I hit the gym a few hours later when the t is at its max? Would I get a lot more out of that one workout? Of course I work out more than one day per week, I’m just wondering if I could turn one workout a week into something super special if I time the cyp injection right.

Thanks for your help.

too many variables, but the easy answer is that there is no way you will be able to predict the testosterone levels to the hour, and also it is possible that many other factors were involved that had you feeling fired up at one moment and not as much so at another time.

Just keep the injections at the same time and in about two more weeks ALL of your workouts will feel like when you woke up that morning. Just give it a bit more time bro

Thanks for the feedback. I am new to this so I admit I don't know what I am doing. I will stick to the schedule the hormone shop gave me and see what happens. Special thanks for the beta that cyp takes a while to kick in.

Big bench is right..once the cyp settles in your system it will not matter when you workout..What i would focus on is your diet ..especially right before and right after you work out.You could use some otc supps right before you work out for increased peak performance..like any kind of stimulant.
