I’ve seen a lot of confusion throughtout my time on the topic of “front-loading” and using a “kicker”. I’d like to take a minute to explain the 2 and how they are different. Then I will explain how each one is beneficial to ones cycle.
”Front-Loading” is a method used to build up the level of long-estered compounds in ones bloodstream without waiting the usual 4-6 weeks that is typical for long esters to stabilize in the blood. When front-loading, you will Double up your wanted dosage during the first week (or 2 weeks depending on ester (EQ)) . Let’s take Test Cypionate for example (7-9 day half-life). For this example we’ll generalize Cyp to a 7 day half-life (1 Week). Say you wanted to run 600mg (2ml using 300mg/ml) Test Cyp a week, you would do something like this:
Following a ONE INJECTION PER WEEK Protocol (Not Typical at these dosages, Just easier to explain/understand)
Week 1: 1200mg (First Injection); Blood levels at end of week: 600mg
Week 2: 600mg (Left from half-life of week 1) + 600mg (New Injection); Blood levels at end of week: 600mg
Week 3: 600mg (Left from combined half lives of Week 1 and 2) + 600mg (New Injection); Blood levels at end of week: 600mg
Week 4: 600mg (Left from combined Half lives of Week 1, 2, and 3) + 600mg (New Injection); Blood levels at end of week: 600mg
By doubling your dose the first week, you are stabilizing your blood levels at your wanted dosage after 1 week instead of waiting the usual 4-6 weeks. This would be most effective for someone who wants to run long esters but does not want to wait for the compound to build up in their system.
Using a “Kicker” is kick starting your cycle by incorporating the use of a short ester compound to bring blood levels up to wanted levels while waiting for the long ester to take hold. For this example, we’ll use Test P as a Kicker for Test E. While waiting for the Enanthate ester to fully stabilize at wanted levels, you would incorporate the use of Test P during the first 4 weeks of a cycle. Something like this:
Week 1: Test P 150mg EOD, Test E 600mg EW (2x300mg)
Week 2: Test P 150mg EOD, Test E 600mg EW (2x300mg)
Week 3: Test P 150mg EOD, Test E 600mg EW (2x300mg)
Week 4: Test P 150mg EOD, Test E 600mg EW (2x300mg)
Week 5: DROP Test P, Continue with Test E 600mg EW
Using this method, the Test P will bring your blood levels up to wanted level “instantly” compared to waiting the usual 4-6 weeks for the long esters to kick in.
As I stated, I have seen a bit of confusion on the 2 methods. Although, in essence, they are both doing the same thing to your blood levels, they are 2 very different methods in themselves. Hopefully this was informative to some of guys and girls out there. Remember everything I write is just based off my knowledge. Any concern or criticism is greatly appreciated. As always...We’re all learning here.
Cheers!

Those were by and far the best teams this season. That Elite D will just stifle mofos. And ya gotta give Darnold his flowers for taking care of the football. That was professional.
