Ohhh boy....
Here we go again..
If a steroid has half life of a week, that doesnt mean it wont start working for one week.. It means that after one week, 1/2 of the steroid will have been de-esterified and excreted, the other 500mg will remain in ester form. Then after 2 weeks, 250 will remain in ester form and 250mg will have been de-esterified and excreted. etc, etc,,
It is bullshit to say that the longer esters don't "release" until two weeks or whatever. They "release" the second after you inject them... Albeit very slowly.
