Just like to point out one thing to this half-life and active-life aspect of steroids that may have been overlooked by some athletes. One needs to make a distinction between a blood test reading that shows less activity of a particular steroid, and what is or what has already occurred due to taking that particular steroid.
In other words, if (say) you inject or take a tablet of steroid X, then there would be a cause and effect following that. One of these effects for example could be the maximisation of muscle glycogen. Now one would think (based on the active-life point) that if for example one stops taking drug X (say dianabol) on the weekend then one would suddenly shrink or lose strength. The point I’m trying to make here is that that would not be the case since the effect of that steroid (which may be low in the blood) is still very much “trapped” inside the muscles, eliciting its anabolic/anti-catabolic effect.

Fadi.
