I’ve done some research on the effects of both in the initials week(s) of a cycle. I believe personal experience will be the best answer to which is more effective.
Just to clarify.
Bridging is “building up” the amount of mg’s
Example:
wk1 200mg’s E3D
wk2 300mg’s E3D
wk3-16 400mg’s E3D
Front Loading is the opposite, it’s pretty much what it sounds like
Exmaple
Wk1 500mg’s E3D
Wk2 500mg’s E3D
Wk3-16 300mg’s E3D
In reading Arnold’s cycle history he emphasizes the effects of bridging to be quite effective. And I’ve had this information backed up by a few of my gym’s cycle junkies. I’m definitely not using this as a strong source, but just showing the idea is out there.
bridging is using a short ester or oral to keep making gains right up to pct while the ester or esters of the main compound of the cycle is clearing from your system. or atleast thats what i thought.
in ur definition of “bridging” the only benefit rom it might be to aleviate a little bit of acne from a sudden fluctiation of hormones but as far as gains fromtloading allows u to reach peak blood concentration sooner
I wouldnt say “preferred” yet, but it is taking more of a hold in the circles I am in. On paper it makes perfect sense, bringing you right up to where you want to be blood-concentration-wise after four days. Allowing you to be under full dosage the full cycle instead of building up to it in week 7, thus seeing maximum gains during that 4 week window in the beginning of the cycle when people claim to have the highest response. Unfortunately a lot of the guys I would rely on first hand knowledge irl wont try it, or just dont care to change the methods they have always used. I am mid test-cyp cycle now as it is my first run, but I do plan on frontloading the next one after pct and a 4 month break.
