Klopt idd. Die Joe pleit voor een kleiner verschil tussen cruise doseringen (maar kunnen zeker boven fysiologische levels liggen ALS je dat wenst) en blast doseringen. John vroeg hier toevallig recent over op z’n forum (zie screenshots).
Zegt eigenlijk dat het onnozel is om aan een 12 weken blast periode te beginnen en eigenlijk op voorhand al te beseffen dat je je gezondheid flink de grond gaat in boren om dan de brokken (proberen) te lijmen in je cruise. Uiteraard zijn de blasts/protocollen die hij aanraad ook niet gezond maar mss wel iets gezonder dan de usual
die 100mg tren per week heb ik eigenlijk van Joe. Meeste (en ikzelf) denken/dachten vaak aan 200mg als minimum terwijl dat niet hoeft.
Dit stukje was laatst in John Jewett zijn online nieuwsbrief waar je je gratis voor kan aanmelden, gaat ook over hetzelfde:
PED Offseason Escalation Model
Problems arise quickly and gains get stagnant with a typical blast cruise model with the ideal of getting to most gain for the most dose right out the gate but it leave us with no where to progress to in a long offseason setting.
In a typical Blast a user may jump from 250mg to 1000mg in a week and this accompanies with a large exposure to oxidation and infammation systemically. Water retention is high and stresses the kidney and heart with larger jumps in blood pressure. After 10-12 weeks of this health markers deteriorate and gains stall and the user is left with the only option of going down or exceed into higher risk use.
There is a better way!
We need to program extended offseasons with getting the most from the least, then move the dose up on a NEEDS basis.
Rather then jump to the ceiling in dose on week 1, lets incremental move up as we need to over a long duration until we reach those peak doses. This can extend a cycle duration from that 10-12 weeks to more like 24-30 weeks.
Benefits:
- Ability to monitor health marker change overtime
- Less exposure to oxidation and inflammation
- Prevent large increases in blood pressure
- Gain the most muscle per unit of dose before moving to the next level
- A more consistent increase in performance without dips and rises like blasting and cruising
- Improved ability to manage estradiol and prolactin
Understand your Esters and Half life
This is important to know the half lives of compounds to know cycle duration regarding peak serum doses before escalating too early. How long to get to peak dose and we should be able to keep making progress as serum levels rise and be able to sit in the peak level for as long as possible if performance is up and health markers are in check. An ester like enanthate has an average 1/2 life of 7 days, it takes on average 4 half life rotations before we reach a peak dose. So that is 4 weeks of serum level increase, then we should hold at the level and ride on the results. Shorter or faster acting esters in the offseason would not be as preferable unless we are talking about a female population, then the conversation changes in that regard.
Lets assume we have nutrition, training, recovery and all variables optimal the the question is:
When to up the dose?
Is performance increasing? Yes! Health Markers in check? Yes! Keep dose the same and ride it out.
If performance stalls and health markers in check, consideration for PED escalation is on the table.
When to drop the dose?
First sign is health marker detriment, this is why we monitor blood glucose and blood pressure weekly and labs every 8 weeks. This might be 16 weeks, this might be 35 weeks. We can see it coming though since we monitor variables along the way.
PEDs have a high risk to the user and we want to mitigate that risk and see out our goals to the fullest. If you want to learn more on PEDs or just becoming a better physique athlete or coach J3University has opened today for registration.
Maar dat is goed denk ik… dat betekent dat die high day zijn ding een beetje heeft gedaan. Ben benieuwd of ik de komende dagen nog veel kan droppen zonder weer kcal te verlagen of cardio toe te voegen. Ik denk het wel als ik afga op hoe ik me voel.
