Video - Steroid esters, half lives and detection times explained

This is a topic I see a lot of confusion on. The only thing the steroid ester changes is how frequently you need to inject the drug.

The ester the drug is bound to changes the half life and detection time of the drug. The ester does not change the drug itself. For example testosterone enanthate, testosterone cypionate and testosterone propionate all deliver the drug testosterone. The only difference between the three is the half life and detection time. The longer the ester, the longer the half life and the longer the detection time.

For the vast majority of steroid users, longer estered steroids are the best option because they need to be injected less frequently. The less injections you do, the less scar tissue that will build up. There are 2 main exceptions to this:
1. Short esters are good for drug tested athletes who need the drugs to clear out of their system fast so they can pass their drug test.
2. Short esters are good if you have never used the steroid before so if side effects occur and you want to stop using the compound, it'll clear out of your body much faster.

The half-life time of a steroid is the amount of time required for the administered dosage to be reduced to one half of the original amount. For example, if an individual takes 100mg of Anadrol, which has a haft life of 16 hours, in 16 hours only 50mg of the substance will be remaining in his/her body.

The detection time of a steroid is the amount of time from ingestion that the drug will show up on a drug test.

This chart summarizes lists the half life and detection times of the most common steroids:

excellent video mate, its things like this that you don't see around enough especially the chart with strait up quality data on it for quick reference
I find things like Ester weights/active hormone per 100mg ester, release times, full lists of esters that could possibly be attached, what days and amounts to pin for total weekly doses etc are never a simple search to find sometimes so its good to see someone making this stuff available

keep em coming, makes my cardio a breeze

Glad you like the videos.

When I am pre-contest and doing a lot of cardio, I up the data on my cell plan so I can watch lots of videos on Youtube to help the time fly by lol. Great minds think alike.

Right now I'm not doing any cardio so I just have 2MB. Pre contest I usually get 10MB.

18 months for detecting deca, god damn thats a lot of time

there is a lot of belief in the community that short esters aromatize less and all kinds of weird theories. i think a lot of people still don't get the concept behind how steroid esters work because they are too used to using rec drugs or OTC drugs like aspirin

they think they run steroids then after their last injection the compound is out of their system the next day like magic.. it doesn't work like that! steroid esters stick around, as you can see by the charts some stick around quite a while. you can have it in your system at decent amounts for many weeks after your last injection, and you do not start recovering until it is completely out. and if something has a 15 day half life, doesn't mean it takes 15 days to be out your system. again more confusion, as musky explained it merely means half is left of your previous injection. it will gradually tick down and in EQ or deca's case it will take 5-6 weeks to reduce to low levels

This is one good video, especially for those, who have not read anything yet about the esters. Very informative, and yet very simple.

This is a fantastic video and chart as well. There is a lot of confusion on the forums when it comes to things like half lives and detection times. When you see how long some compounds like deca are detectable you realize how different the 2 really are.
