    2 Dosing questions

    Excuse my n00bness on the subject but wanted to confirm some things

    I am debating between a 5/2 and a 6/1 scenario. What I wanted to confirm was which was 'better' 5/2 at 5 at day (25iu total for the week) or 6/1 at 4 a day (24iu total). Obvious math says that the 5/2 has more for the week but im wondering if having less 'downtime' is better? Or... does it not really matter?

    Second question is assuming I do 5/2 method. I generally work out 5 days a week but not 5 consecutive days. IE I take off Mondays and Weds. I was planning to skip those days for the week on the 5/2. What my n00b question is, was the 5/2 meaning consecutive or could I basically do 4on, 1off, 1on, 1off, repeat
    Sorry if that is extremely off the wall but I havent read anything saying this specifically so wanted to ask you guys

    Thanks all

    I inquired about 5/2 protocal and was told that 7 days a week is the best way. The only reason people use 5/2 is cost savings. The pituitary is only shut down for a couple of hours after an injection.

    guess that kinda goes back, so heres the breakdown

    5/2 at 5/day = 25iu total
    6/1 at 4/day = 24iu total
    7/0 at 3/day = 21iu total

    Hmm maybe I could manage that 7/0 at 4/day which is actually 28iu, a little more than i planned but maybe better in the long run.

    Ok thats good. If for some reason I go with the 5/2 method, is the way i listed okay for the split or must it be 5on and 2off consecutive?

    Thanks

    I don't see why the 5/2 has to be consecutive days. So go for it.
    But If you are going to spend the same why not go for the 7/0 at 4ius per day?
    Thats what I'm doing.

    well its not quite the same, its less per day and 3iu more over the course of the week. it would seem pretty since its more and there is no downtime but maybe the higher dose is somehow better? I dunno, it makes sense to do 7days but wanted to ask the experts ya know =P
