Why does everyone use the generic 2 week pct start time for enthanate esters?

I'm sure this has been discussed to some extent before, but it just doesn't make sense to me... With all the available information we have, I can't grasp why it's still recommended to ALWAYS start pct 2 weeks after last inject when in many cases you still plenty of Test left in your system. This would obviously negate any recovery efforts until late into pct.

For example, with this calculator.... one 250mg inject e4d for 10 weeks and they recommend pct about 19 days after last shot, although plenty of hormone is still left in the body.

Since many of use use higher doses... one 375mg inject e4d for 10 weeks and the recommend pct 22 days after last shot.

I think they're using a 7day half-life for test e and there are obviously some other factors affecting one's half-life, but why is the standard "2 weeks after last shot" so STANDARD.

Wouldn't pct be much more beneficial if it was started when external hormone levels are below 100mg???
Any experts have some clarity on this??

That PCT calculator is theoretical and not much better than the standard 2 weeks. Only way to know for sure is blood work.

I've had labs MANY times and my T levels are usually tanked at day 14 with Cyp or E.

Interesting, BW definitely gives the clearest picture.

How often and when do you typically get labs done?
pre cycle, during, before pct, weeks after pct???

I don't PCT anymore. I'm on TRT.

Over the last few years I have been getting labs about 7-8 days post injection. If I wait 10-11 days my T levels are usually pretty low.
