see summary 3 posts down if the following reasons are too long to read.
You can't build muscle unless your muscles are taking in protein. So it is a myth that you grow at night. That only applies to height. So there is no point in taking large enough steroid doses to keep levels high even while you are asleep. Smart users will use a small enough dose that it drops off to baseline shortly after you fall asleep. several small pills throughout the day probably is best.
As you know, testosterone is good for muscle building, but excess is bad for the rest of the body, and shrinks the testicles if they did not manufacture it.
You build muscle during the day, when you are digesting food. Testosterone levels spike after exercise, and drop off after a few hours. You need testosterone to take the protein that insulin puts in your muscles, and use it to re-build torn down muscle. You can get a small recovery increase just by using high glycemic protein after a workout so you can get use of that 2 hour spike, but most muscle building is done more slowly at lower testosterone levels over the next few days.
You don't want too much testosterone if you don't even have the muscle rips or available protein to go with it. There probably is an ideal ratio of each that you should shoot for to avoid bottle necks. Taking 100x your normal body amount is dumb. Instead, try to keep it at the natural immediate post workout levels for just a full 14 hours instead of 2. Then the testicles won't shrink as much.
If you are going to subject your whole body to high testosterone levels, you might as well do a full body workout that day, unless individual muscles can take it all in out of the blood.
Testosterone just lets you recover fast, and recover from more, if you give your body everything else it needs.
Finally, I think it is dumb to do 1 month cycles. Why not just do one or two workout cycles, and then workout normally for a while to give your tendons time to catch up? Heavy roid users make 3 steps forward, and then 2 steps back. The 3 steps forward occur on the cycle. The 2 steps back occur when they stop the cycle and their testicles are not making testosterone to maintain their gains. They also get stretch marks.
I don't know if injections are done to protect the intestines, or bipass the liver, or just to get a lot more in. My roommate said he once took a pill daily and shaved 7 seconds off his 1/2 mile time in just 2 weeks, at the end of a session after he'd been running several years. So I don't think larger amounts are needed for better gains.
