FRONTLOADING: Reality or Myth?

[SUST-MAN]

Is it really true?

Should you always frontload test?

I'm about to begin a nice testoviron cycle.

(a) should i run 1000mg the first 2 weeks..then drop it to 750mg?

or

(b) should i run 1250mg the first 2 weeks..then drop to 750mg?

or

(c) fuck frontloading...1000mg throught the whole cycle?

Thanks!

Bro, if i know u, ur gonna frontload 1250 and drop to 1000. But then again anything else in that cycle ?

My first cycle I frontloaded 1600mg of Cyp for week one and two - then dropped to 800mg for the remainder. Same with the EQ. 1200mg first two weeks - 600mg for the remaining ten. Had amazing growth explosion at the begining. My body almost couldnt handle it tho.

The idea behind frontloading comes from a common practice used in IV drug administration, Sust-man. To raise plasma levels fast and keep them there docs often give a big IV bolus of the drug to immediately achieve the desired plasma level, the decrease the dose significantly to maintain that desired level. Frontloading approximates this, but you will still get peaks and valleys in blood levels of the drug because it is impossible to regulate drug distribution from a depot site like you can with an IV drip.

Front loading is a myth. It makes people hold a ton of water fast. Int their heads they transalte that water to weight... weight = muscle... truth of it is muscle gain si slow and steady on a low dose cycle and on a high dose cycle... water on the other hand you can gain quickly.

No I do not believe it is a myth, because with long acting, depot steroids their rate of release is very slow you need to increase the rate of intake to match the release rate that will be achieved during the cycle. By increasing the intake you can more quickly reach those peak values although as nandi pointed out the actual levels will still peak and trough a little due to the many factors affecting the steroid half-lives like volume of injection and sites injected to name but a few. The most commonly observed doses are double the cycle dose for weeks 1 and 2, so in your case would be 1500mgs/wk then dropping to 750mgs throughout.

There are pro and cons to every method of cycle, I personally feel that I have the best results when I employ a reasonable dose frontload at the beginning of each new cycle. I rarely come completely off of anabolics but I do low dose bridges for a peroid of time followed by a front load leading into a moderate dose cycle. I never do high dose cycles any longer. I feel and look better year around doing things the way I do.

BigFella,

What do you define as a long-acting depot? Give an example.

Myth? I like your logic backing up your claims, I guess all of us who have frontloaded and got strength gains in the cycle much much sooner, which in turn equates to more muscle over the course of the cycle are all full of shit. Thanks for clearing it up for us, I guess I will just go back to old school cycling and ignore the positive results I, and many others have had, because you think its a myth.
