    Question frontloading, is it better?

    Hello again,

    just read an intresting thread on frontloading, and wondered if anyone thinks its an more effective way to start a cycle? Obviously it makes sense that gains would be seen quicker, but because of half-lives does it make the beginning stages more efficant and effective?

    Anybody prefer this strategy or think that letting test build up slower and kick in later produce better overal results?

    Absolutly love how much info you can find on this site and how fast you can learn once you figure out how the terminology and a bit of reading. Have already recommended this site to 3 friends who are gonna follow my lead and want to be educated on gear usage.

    Its one of those things your going to have to try for yourself and see if your respond to it, on paper its looks great but not everyone who tries it agrees.

    For me, I prefer frontload and it kicks sooner and i can shorten the length of the cycle down, i wouldn't recommend a frontload to someone who hasn't cycled though.

    i tried it on my last cycle and i dont think it worked. it was a waste of gear in my opinion.

    same here , it wrecked the shit of my estrogen too because of the VERY sharp testo rise.

    I agree with this too.... I would rather kickstart my cycle with Dbol or Anadrol than frontload test.

    i had thought about it for my first cycle but after much resurch decided to just go the traditional route. im glad i did cus i couldent imagin the pain of 2ml of gear post injection in vergin muscle.it takes quite a wile to inject just 1ml and the post injection pain and stiffness took 3 shots to each glute (so like 3 weeks)before the muscle got used to it and no more pain. my 2 cents.....

    Has anyone frontloaded both deca and test E in the same cycle? Is this accetable or frowned upon? Reaching peak levels quicker makes since but I wonder it this flux brings on more sides?

    For my 4th cycle I decided to frontload my test e (1200mgs for the 1st week, 600mgs/week for the duration). I have been pleasantly surprised with the results. I will most likely frontload from here on out, although I may go with prop next time to see the difference.

    Wow , I can't believe this thread !

    I was always against front loading cycles . Now I see I am not alone .

    I thought gradual progression and stress to body was better than overwhelming it in a short period .
    Cycling itself is not natural even though you are increasing a naturally produced hormone .

    As the thread pointed out , some prefer front loading and others seemed to not benefit from it .

    Many of the times we all respond in different ways, some prefer this method, some dont. I prefer hitting a cycle at full speed and keeping it short because thats how i grow and respond, staying on for to long as always created more harm than good in the long run, but everyone is different when we are talking about responding and growing.

    When ive frontloaded, ive always felt like I am hitting the cycle at running speed and growth starts straight away, sides are low and cycle can be shortened which results in better recover and maintenance. each to their own!

    Marcus - your short burst cycles have held my interest for some time now..... I have 2 more cycles i'd like to try (12 weekers) and then i'll be hitting you up...... I'd like to give one a shot a see how it goes.

    I have never frontloaded and can say I probably wouldn't ever. I prefer to start my cycles with lower mgs that way when it's time to switch receptors I have room to go up. I always get results in the beginning no matter what i take and keep them coming through the whole cycle this way. It's what works for me.

    I ahve never frontloaded in the way we are talking about here, but I ususally do test e and it takes a long time for me for it to kick in, like 7-8 weeks, so I throw in some dbol up front to kick me off and I like it.

    i would assume that this can be done, BUT u would maybe want to shorten up your course from like 14 weeks to 12 weeks to combat the longterm effects.Markus will come in here just now ...
