Could someone explain why in a bridge you overlap?

I understand that typically a bridge would look like this

SD 10,10,10,00,00,00 --> pct
+
epi 00,00,30,30,30,30 --> pct

however, why is there that week of overlap?

i took epi as just an example, but generally speaking my understanding is that the PH/DSs dont have to build up in your system as their half life ranges from 6-12hrs typically but its their effects that take a while to become apparent eg increased glycogen storage, protein synthesis, suppression etc... SD achieving these effects much faster than epi or hdrol which is why it is 1st and you use the epi or hdrol to consolidate or recomp etc..

but why is there a need for overlap?

once you're 2-3 weeks in and the effects are established, wouldnt the next PH/DS be able to continue stimulating protein synth and the other processes as before but just at different rates/strengths. the SD and epi/hdrol dont act on different receptors so why cant the cycles look like this:

SD 10,10,10,00,00,00
epi 00,00,00,30,30,30

Thanks for the input.
 
The reason for overlapping them is because most other clones don't hit you right away like SD. Epi takes a good week, same with Halo, even phera i didn't feel till the 2nd week. So this way when you come of the SD the Epi should be kicked in cause you gave it that 1st week.

i get that there's an initial delay when starting a cycle, but why should there be once you've started?
 
mark118, there is no need for an overlap. Just a common forum accepted practice carried on from user to user.

You would save your liver that extra strain and some capsules as well as cash in the process.
