you know... frontloading for me kicks it in just a bit sooner. tapering is really only useful if you go fully off rather than cruise. it might soften the crash if you time it right with some hcg and a PCT that works for you.
i'm old enough to say fuck it, i stay on, so whatever.
in the end, a lot of this shit we hyper analyze ends up being, just, whatever. which curls are the best? the heavy ones, pick one, maybe two, and fuck off and do them, you know? how much volume? the most you can do when coming back stronger, write it down and see. should i have chicken or beef when bulking or cutting? the answer is more or less. which stack should i do? the one you tolerate the best. what works the best?
answer's the grind, it's the fundamentals, this isn't rocket science. take test and a second substance if you want, eat big, lift big, get big. eat less, lift a little less, be fat less. tada...
