Frontloading bad idea for first cycle??

[biogeared]

A friend of mine (almost 21, 5"11 210 @ 12-13%) is about to begin his first cycle.

He is taking 500mg/week of Test Enanthate.

Do think it is a bad idea to frontload 750 mg for the first 2 weeks?? I suggested he just use an oral to kickstart, but orals aren't availible to him (don't hear that too often).

So, to frontload or not too frontload, that is the question.

I've frontloaded recently, didn't see much of a difference. I'd rather use the extra gear(250mg x 2) and use it for an extra week at the end. just my opinion.

Thanks for your reply. Anyone else?

I'd say go with the front load. On paper the front load makes alot of sense with the longer acting drugs. How long is your friend's cycle going to last? I wouldn't go longer than 8 weeks on the ethanate (many will disagree though). I find that when you stay on for longer than 10 weeks it is alot harder to recover without hcg. If you do hcg during the cycle, then I wouldn't front load but take the extra week. Good luck. ....To you friend, I mean.

I think its a good idea to have some idea of how you react to an AAS before you frontload myself.

This is a common statement but doesnt take into consideration all of the REASONS to frontload in the first place.

I don't really see the point of front loading unless it is with test blends such as omnadren or sustonon. With these drugs you'll see the benefits of the otherwise wasted test propinate and phenyl propinate. There are in such small doses that unless taken multiple times a week they will have no real anabolic effect until the longer chain esters become available.
With straight long chain esters I can't see the point. It will only cause your hormone levels to flucuate in the middle of your cycle.

And to add he was planning of running it for 10weeks.

Clomid & nolva recovery.

A friend of mine? Come on now, 'fess up. We won't tell!

One of the reasons you front load is to get effective AAS doses sooner. Since it's his first cycle, any supraphysiological level of AAS will be effective, so it will work from the very beggining even without front.
Besides,IMHO, long esteres are made to be depots, long acting, if you want a jump start, var, dbol or anadrol in the first weeks is the way to go.
