Have you frontloaded?

I have read a few different threads about Frontloading and i was wanting to get everyones opinion.

I know someone will ask stats.
27 6'0 200 15%bf

Will be starting first cycle.

500mg test 12 weeks.
12.5mg aromasin ed
pct nolva 40/40/20/20
clomid 100/100/50/50

So my question is this: what is everyones opinion on frontloading. I have seen a lot for and alot against.

Have i considered it? kind of... but mostly just trying to increase my knowledge of the subject. I know at some point someone will answer my question of should i frontload. If so how much?

However, the reason i posted this thread was not just for me and my first cycle but over all understanding of the subject.

The last post i read was from another site. Hope he doesn't mind if i quote it. Thought i was a good explanation of how it works.


Frontloading motives and benefits explained.
First and foremost, this is some absolutely 3rd grade writing. If someone will unfu(k my plight and make it clear and flowing, I'll edit it and update it. I'm TIRED.

I’m surprised there isn’t a sticky on frontloading, and if there is one, why does it seem like it’s never read.

Below are the amounts released in a week when not frontloading

250mg x 2 of enanthate

Week 1 195 39%
Week 2 336 67%
Week 3 406 81%
Week 4 447 89%
Week 5 458 92%
Week 6 466 93%
Week 7 471 94%
Week 8 473 95%


This ramping up process is because you are ADDING the remaining mg that hasn't expired from the last dosage to the next one ... which gradually builds up to a peak around week 7 or 8. Thus, you start getting the full INTENDED effect around that time. You can circumvent this WHOLE ramp up process and frontload. You're goal isn't related to what you inject weekly per se, it's how many ACTIVE mg there are in your body per day. THAT is the important number.

This is the amount you get per week if you DO frontload, and take double your dosage during the first week.

Week 1 394 79%
Week 2 475 95%
Week 3 475 95%
Week 4 475 95%
Week 5 475 95%
Week 6 475 95%
Week 7 475 95%
Week 8 475 95%


All this does is circumvent the lag time in building your weekly release value up to your target usage. This doesn't accelerate the lag of your body to start responding to it. For instance, EQ amongst other things increases RBC, maybe that's part of what takes it a while to fully kick in... but who cares about that, why not just get the full intended volume up to a steady level and go from there?

Check out the “roid calculator”. Experiment on there with different dosages, and frontloading. Set up your normal cycle on there, and see what your residual is on week 8 BEFORE you inject. Essentially, ADD that to 500mg... thats the amount of MG you need in your body to get the daily release value you're targeting.

minimizes the anxious time of waiting for it to kick in and figure out if it’s real or not.

Remember, there are two factors that control your physical response to the drugs.

1. The daily release/active value...
2. Time for your body to start responding to it.

First, if you take Test-prop, it doesn’t affect you instantly... it takes a little while to kick in, despite its instant bio availability.

On top of that, mg per mg, enanthate is weaker, the ester takes up a greater amount of space/weight, so it's actually about 10% less than prop when considering that factor.

What would be nice is an excel spreadsheet with the formulas imbedded with locked fields for all but the necessary cells for changing the mg and half life.

People generally add a few weeks to cycle length when running long esters so that you actually get MORE weeks AT the intended dosage rather than spending the majority of the time building up to the peak just before quitting. The problem with this in my book is that a week with an abnormal HTPA and atrophying nuts needs damned well to be producing gains. It’s a simple decision, if I’m taking risks, I want rewards.
 
If you're going to frontload, do it with dbol or adrol. Also, overkill on the post cycle therapy (pct). No need to take more than 50mg a day of Clomid.
 
From experience of memeber we know than frontload increase the % to occur side efects faster. and no benefit at all.

only one compounds can hallow a frontload = methenolone-acetate ( injectable version) that's all, and this is only for advanced BB.
 
Cool thanks for the responses.

In your opinion it is better to let your body build up test levels slowly. Most people say they don't notice gains till week 6 or 7. Which by the scale is about how low it takes levels to get up to target dosage. I just thought there might be some correlation between reaching that target dosage and seeing results.

But i understand all this does is circumvent the lag time in building your weekly release value up to your target usage. This doesn't accelerate the lag of your body to start responding to it.

About what is the average lag time for a body to start responding then?

blend of ester have been elaborated for this inconvenint actualy.

short est let the hormone work in body faster, but the body will clear it faster, combinated with long esters it occur short and long acting testo.

to answer, with sustanon, the effect start to be visible after 14 days. with two injections.
 
hahaha. i thought i might actually get a good discussion with that post. You guys shut that down in a hurry.

It's cool. Thanks for the quick responses.
 
usualy, i only post what is necessary for the users.

ther's never been blabla with kane.

may be ther's some others guys which would like to argue on the fronload subject.

if you would like to make some interesting discussions with us, wehave a general chat forum, you're welcome.
 
From what MOST experienced users say, it doesn't work (or it doesn't work that well). I personally don't understand why it wouldn't since it seems to work so well mathematically. I have never tried it. I am currently using test prop as a kickstart. That seems to get much better reviews.
 
3 gr or l-arginine and 10 gr of glutamine are enough to make all these %number wrong for.

ther's a lot of chemical reaction between testo and foods before to even think about correct amount of efficiency % about test-e or else.

Your comment was the main reason why i posted this. On paper it makes since. I can also see why it could also cause more chance for side effects to appear.
With front loading you could be at your target test level in 2 weeks vs. 8. You are right. On paper it totally makes since. By week 3 you are at 81 percent of target dosage. By 4 you are 447 and i don't know if a difference of 28 will make a substantial difference.

but the reason why i question it is All this does is circumvent the lag time in building your weekly release value up to your target usage. This doesn't accelerate the lag of your body to start responding to it.

if you could accelerate your bodies response to it then i'd say you are on to something.

I just don't know enough about that to tell you a good answer.

but let's say for conversation sake we are talking about test e. with lag time and everything else involved. Would you really see much benefit? or would you actually see more benefit for not frontloading and using that extra dosage to extend it out another week???
 
Super> I totally agree with you but what I can't understand is why the body immediately responds to test prop but takes time to respond to a long ester even if it's frontloaded. I would think if you injected 1000mg of test cyp the first week, it would be equivalent to 100mg eod of prop. (I pulled that prop number out of the air) who knows though?
 
I have frontloaded most of my cycles of the last 8 years.

I love it b/c it produces a constant blood level by the 2nd week.

By mid-second week, I'm crushing it in the gym and I am full speed ahead.

You need to be aware that frontloading can increase estrogen related sides effects. So you have to have your Aromatase inhibitor (AI) in your system sooner. I start my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) the very same week that I front load as opposed to 2 weeks after my first injection.

Regards.

Not even close - go to roidcalc.com and do the comps.

yeah unless your running Sustanon (sust) i don't see the need. i frontloaded my Sustanon (sust) cycle im on just to try it and i am happy with my choice. but with the Sustanon (sust) i did a shot every day for 4 weeks to fully take advantage of the short esters until the longer esters kicked in. but with anything else i wouldn't waste your time

I believe you're missing the concept of frontloading. You frontload INSTEAD of doing short esters. And by shooting sus everyday, you are unintintually frontloading the long esters.

Agreed. can you please explain. That went way over my head.
 
ok so it looks like we are kinda seeing a difference in opinion. Can someone explain why this theory wouldn't work?
__________________________________________________________________________

Cashout - i do agree with you and think is you were to front load make sure you are on an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) starting the first pin.

If you don't mind sharing. What Aromatase inhibitor (AI) do you run at what dosage?
 
Agreed. can you please explain. That went way over my head.

natural testostrone and the testo you would like to inject are the same.

arginine and glutamine increase the natural level of testo during the working-out, which makes the statistic wrong.
