Interesting this topic has come up as it is something I have been looking into again recently with my next cycle in mind. I am not going to start until probably February but like to get things in order well before.
Anyways front loading in my opinion would work. I am not talking pyramiding like used to be done but just increasing doseages in the first week of a cycle to get blood plasma levels up much quicker than if using the standard static dosing protocol.
This would only really be effective with longer estered steroids too. Like Ethanante, Cypionate, Deca etc. Real world tells us that some of the best gains are made early on in a cycle so why not take complete advantage of that by having as much of the steroid available as possible early on in the cycle.
My example would be something along the lines of the following. If you were doing say Enanthate which has a half life of 10.5 days at 500mgs/week as your cycle split into twice weekly injects of 250mgs. Roughly your wanting 71mgs/day. So to front load you need to do your first injection at 960mgs. Your 250mgs plus 10 x 71 (710mgs).
So in 10.5 days you have 480mgs of the Ethanate available plus your 2 x 250mgs inject that week giving a total of 980mgs. In another 10.5 days you have 480mgs available plus your 2 x 250mgs inject giving a total 980mgs. You can see now how blood levles get to a constant level and stay that way from week one. This in theory should provide you with a physiological standpoint to achieve maximum potential from the outset.
If you were doing static dosing then you 500mgs week 1 would be 250mgs in 10.5 days plus your 2 x 250mgs injects for a total 750mgs. In a further 10.5 days you have 325mgs plus 500mgs from your two injects to give you 825 total. A further 10.5 days you 412.5mgs plus your 500 for a total of 912.5mgs. We are now 31.5 days into this cycle and at roughly the same point as if we had front loaded. This is why most cycles don't "kick in" until 4-6 weeks IMO.
