Is front loading really necessary?

[Izzman]

Is it? Especially for a 1st time cycle at 10 weeks @500mg of enanthate/week? If one chooses not to frontload, at what point should the test begin to kick in? 3rd/4th week? And if one does frontload, 2 weeks?

No, not necessary at all. Especially for a first cycle. Well, maybe just not a good IDEA on a first cycle.

It kicks in immediately but takes a few weeks to fully saturate your receptors. By the end of the first week you will start to see some changes in body weight as you start putting on water, by the end of the second week I will have usually gained about 8lbs of water. Libido changes in just days, like 4. By week three or four you will see changes in strength and very rapid recovery rates. Weeks 4-6 or 7 are the best, in my case, for strength and size changes.

Front loading on first cycle (or any) just opens you up to all the risks of sides, only it becomes MUCH harder to get them under control. Learn how you respond to gear before front loading.

It depends what you define as "necessary". If you are looking to quickly raise blood concentration levels in the body from a longer acting ester like Enan then yes, it is necessary. Otherwise, the typical ramp up period for Test Enan to kick in is 3-4 weeks.

No, its not necessary.

I love using Dbol to start things off though.

No.

Oh yeah, and for a first cycle. Definetly no need.
