Needing to go out of town either on vacation or work can sometimes hinder a cycle. I have a theory that I believe can help eliminate a drop in plasma levels below the median or steady-state as it were. Before I get too deeply into this let me just state that this is a theory based on half-life mathematics and pharmacokinetic area under the curve maximization. Half-life math can be read and understood here Half-Life Math. Area Under the Curve (AUC) can be understood here Maximizing Cycles
The only way to know for sure if this theory or any theory in bro science for that matter holds water is to actually get labs drawn every day to every other day to measure plasma levels compared to the theory.
That being said, for those that read my post on maximizing cycles have a little bit of an understanding of what the AUC represents. In that post I talked about a standard test E cycle at 500 per week for 12 weeks. I then discussed and illustrated what a frontloaded cycle would look like.
See illustrations 1 and 2

Notice how the spike at the beginning of the cycle allows us to come down into a steady state more rapidly giving us a higher median dosage range. The median dosage is the average in the steady-state this is not the overall average.

So now let me pose a situation wherein we had to leave town at week seven of a 12 week cycle and could not take injections for that week for obvious reasons. So you have front loaded the first two weeks of your cycle and weeks three through five were a standard 500 per week. Now our concern is that by not taking injections for one week our plasma levels would drop out of steady-state below the median dosage and thusly fluctuate our levels. In Illustration 3. I show you what a front loaded cycle would look like without doing anything at all and skipping one week.

Notice the numbers at the bottom of the valley’s are 699 mg before missing one week. At the end of that week you would be at 375 then picking back up slowly to 619 by the end of the cycle. I think this could be detrimental to our gains. The median steady-state here would be 740 mg.
Now imagine if we knew in advance what our schedule was going to be we could load up again during the week prior to the week off. This would spike the plasma levels significantly over the median range. What this would allow us to do would be to not allow the drop in plasma levels to go too far below the steady-state. The following is an illustration of an additional 500 mg during the week prior to departure. See illustration 4.

Now pay attention to the milligrams dosage at the bottom of the valley’s with a mid-load. At the lowest point your 508 which is significantly higher than 375. However, it still takes the remainder of the cycle to reach just 639. Considering that our median range for this cycle is 807 mg steady-state 639 is significantly lower. So this may not be the optimal way to achieve our desired results. The median steady-state here would be 805 however the fact that it takes so long to get back to desired levels after the missing week would be more of a deterrent for me.

If we were to consider an additional 500 before the week off and an additional 500 after the week off the profile would look like illustration 5.

Here we see how quickly we spike back up to the median range and in fact the median state for this cycle would be 892. This would be higher than our original steady-state had we not taken any time off.
While I am not advocating randomly increasing dosage during cycle, I am suggesting that in the unfortunate circumstances that sometimes occur, you can adjust your cycle accordingly. I myself would not attempt this for high dosage cycles in excess of 1000 mg or volatile substances such as tren or even Deca. But I would easily do this for a straight test cycle or equipoise cycle.
Thank you for reading this.
