I basically asked the same question before starting dailies. https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?9754-Daily-Injections-of-TestosteroneJust curious, but what is the reasoning of daily injections aside from a more steady level of T? Seems cumbersome and can't imagine it being much stable and better than 2x/week to make up for the hassle of daily shots.
I have been losing weight since starting daily injections, it may be water weight. As you probably know, my estradiol levels have always been good and I'm already slim.Regardless of daily/once weekly/2-3 times weekly injections as long as one achieves testosterone levels in a healthy/optimal range one should notice minor improvement in fat loss/muscle gain over time. Cleaning up ones diet and adding in some type of weight bearing training would enhance fat loss/muscle gain far more than daily injections ever would. Now if you are talking losing water weight than I would say yes with daily injections there is a stronger chance of shedding water if it improves ones e2 but as far as strictly fat loss nah!
But when your diet was inline, but your T was low enough that you didn't care to workout, didn't recover or workouts were not intense T does matter.
Vince,
I was addressing madman. I was too tired to workout more than twice per week, and if it was too intense I needed 5 days off. I have eaten clean since high school, did triathlons to ultramarathons and moved into crossfit. The last 18 months to 2 years was pure hell for me and couldn't figure it out. I was putting on belly fat, libido was no good etc.
Started TRT in late March '17, it took a few weeks, but my recover is incredible. I realized I was actually fearing doing a Tabata on the airdyne. Now I not only look forward to the Tabata on the airdyne I have to keep myself from doing in on lifting days. I do not wake up wondering what the hell I did to be so sore. Even a good sex session with the wife made me sore for 2 days in my knees, lower back, shoulders and core. Now I try to go hard enough to be sore from sex.
My abs are showing, I have striations in my shoulders, my veins in my legs are coming out again. My back muscles are growing (never seen them other than lats from swimming). My upper chest is growing.

muscle? is it fat?I hate you guys. While going to daily injections has definitely helped E2 spikes I put on 20 pounds since restarting TRT in December. Yes I exercise but I sure as shit am not magically shedding weight. Annoying as hell.

I would have to agree with what you're saying and it may be others reasons why I have weight loss. It is strange that the weight loss happen when I went to daily.If you understood what I wrote.................there is no advantage to injecting daily vs once weekly or 2-3 times weekly regarding fat loss. Regardless of protocol and injection frequency as long as one achieves optimal levels of testosterone on trt no matter what protocol a person follows one will notice mild improvements in fat loss/muscle gain when not training or eating clean but when one adds training/good diet to a trt regime fat loss/muscle gain will far outweigh daily injections of testosterone.
