We all know that when we start a cycle of sustanon (or any other test with a relatively long half life for that matter) it usually takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks to feel the maximum effects. This, in my opinion is because it takes that long for test levels to build up in the body.

Ok...So, to make things easier, using the "Roid Calculator" at http://www.mesomorphosis.com/resources/anabolic-steroid-calculator.htm I have looked at the following scenarios.

Scenario 1: We have 16 amps of Sustanon (just to keep the numbers simple). If I use 500mg per week for eight weeks, here's what my test levels look like every week.

Week...Sust Injected...Active Test
1........500............475
2........500............627
3........500............675
4........500............691
5........500............696
6........500............697
7........500............698
8........500............698
9........000............223
10.......000.............71

Notice how test levels don't climb to nearly 690-700mg range until week 4. Also notice where test levels are at week 9 and 10.
---------------------------------------------

Scenario 2: This time we have one more amp of Sustanon for a total of 17. If I start with 750mg on the first week and then run 500 for the next 7 weeks, here's what the active test levels look like every week.

Week...Sust Injected...Active Test
1........750............712
2........500............703
3........500............699
4........500............698
5........500............698
6........500............698
7........500............698
8........500............698
9........000............223
10.......000.............71

Notice how test levels stay around 700mg from week 1 through week 8 and then notice that the test levels at week 9 and 10 are the same as scenario 1.

---------------------------------------------

What I've figured out is that by adding just 1 amp (or basically 50% more test) on the first week, we can skip that 2-3 week wait to get the maximum effect.

Why aren't more people doing this?

that is an AWSOME post AJC! Very good thoughts I have often wondered this also why take the first coulpe of weeks to get the effects if you can get them almost immediately by front loading. Great post!

Does anyone else have any insight into this? I'm curious as to what some of the vets/mods think of this subject. I always figured it was bes to just run a straight amount all the way through until I thought about it.

Hmmm... never thought of it that way. I always front load, but never really knew the significance. Nice job!

From what I have read it takes 4-5 weeks to kick in even if you use 1 gram a week. So I think there is something more to it. So what you are saying is that anything above 500mg of sustanon will kick in pretty much first week?

I forgot to summarize what I figured out. Adding 50% more test during week 1 will eliminate the 2-3 week wait before it "kicks in".

To front load and avoid the delay, multiply your desired dose by 1.5 for week 1.

For example, if you are going to use 750mg per week, you will need 750mg x 1.5 = 1125mg for front loading, etc.

Well, here's what I mean. It doesn't matter how much you are using, the principle still applies. If you use 1000mg per week, by the 4th week your test levels will have reached the 1400mg range, and that's when you feel the maximum effect.

If you have not actually used Sust or another long acting test, don't go by what you read...You will have to try it yourself to see what I mean.

True. But, I don't like to use 17aa stuff (I'm a conservative! LOL) unless I have to (i.e. Winny). So, I would much rather up the first week's dose by 50%.

I'm definitly going to have to disagree with this. I am guessing you got this from the roid calculater. Personally, that thing sucks . In week one of your frontloading theory, you inject 750mg of sust. Then, you write that the amount of active test is 712mg. Well, we all know that only the prop would be fast acting enough to become fully active in the first week, so the most you would have would be around 100mg of test. Just because it is in your body doesn't mean it is active. Most of the test would still be attached to the ester, therfor, it would not yet be free test.


BTW- no flame, just MY opinion

i agree with you about the front-loading, but i think your numbers are a bit off. now if it would be 1 amp of sust ed for the first two weeks, followed by 500mg per week, then that would be kick-ass

That is what I was wondering myself, but what makes me wonder is this. If you inject a test every 7 days that lasts say 14 days, you eventually end up with a "build up" in the system. I would like to see a better way to calculate this process.

Also, there is some controversy as to whether the "longer acting testosterones" like enanthate actually last longer or just take longer to get into the system and therefore longer to get out.

I agree with organon cannon, all the test is not active each week. that theory is flawed.

I agree, the numbers are probably a bit skewed, but the principle is what I'm concerned with. I think I should have said "test waiting to be released" instead of "active test"

I'd really like to figure out the exact formulas for front loading different drugs like deca, eq, etc. to keep a steady level of the drug in the blood stream to get around that 3 week delay...I hate waiting for it to kick in!

Hey, I wonder if Omnadren would work similar to Sustanon. LOL

That explains why it's underdosed...Some of the test is left behind in the toilet when they put it in the amps.

Adding the clomid will not really effect the test levels that we are looking at here. I would use clomid eod throughout if he has enough to prevent the testes from shrinking. Then kick it up to every day for weeks 10 and 11, then back it down to eod for week 12.
