One of the Steriod Encyclopeadia's cycling theories is to hit the receptors hard in the 3-4 week period right when the steriod is starting to work. They say it's a waste of good steriods doing the diamond cycle.
What are your views on this?
One reason I ask this is a lot of first timers are always asking "Its my 3rd or 4th week and I don't feel anything yet?
This was in www.steriodencyclopeadia.com

my honest opinion is that none of this can be applied in real life. steroids are hormones, and hormones vary from person to person. you cannot say steroid x will produce x side effects and x benefits in x amount of time anymore than you can say all teenagers will develop mild acne at age 13 but it will disappear at age 20. in general it is true but there are many divergions.

i believe in going hard at first. i think that the longer you are on AAS the more your body grows dependent on them and the less positive effect they have. so go hard and short. that is my opinion. 4 weeks with no pyramiding.

Joe is right on the money!

I have also read that the highest doses should be used at the beginning of your cycle when you have a maximum number of available receptors. By pyramiding and using the highest doses in the middle of your course when your receptors are already half saturated is wasteful and can result in excessive aromatisation.

The best effects will be seen during a short course when you hit your receptors with maximum dosages for the first 4 weeks and then taper gradually over the next 2-3 weeks.
