it's now week 5 for me doing 40mgs/day (4 x 10mg) for the first 4 weeks & then up'd it to 60 this week...it HAS been good for making training sessions go really well. consistently. i am now wondering if it might be best used just like m5aa. just down a good dose before training. just my opinion.
I've been thinking along similar lines. Given the short half-life, is it meaningful to think in terms of cycles when the stuff's out of your system by morning? hell, no wonder there no substantial test suppression! When people say it takes a long time to "kick in", maybe they're seeing a cumulative result that has nothing to do with what we think of as being "on-cycle". In order to get a ramp-up in blood levels, you'd have to dose every 3 hours, wouldn't you?
Looking over the posts here since it landed, at first everyone was taking it once a day, and there were clear responders & non-responders: some loved it, even at low doses, said they felt fantastic, their strength was up, recovery was greatly accelerated, aches & pains vanished; others said it stank at all doses, the gains were lousy, it wasn't worth the wasted cycle-time.
Half-life was unknown at this point IIRC and people were assuming it had the persistence of other methyls, so even allowing for differing reactions, it strikes me that there must be some difference in approach or expectation in how the two groups created & performed their cycles. Still, there are signs of durable effects persisting beyond the expiration of the dose. Could be placebo, but it might not be. Something else might be going on.
AM probably has the largest pool of M4OHN cycle data available anywhere. It'd be fascinating to actually pull together the data from the cycles to-date & see what correlations / patterns emerge!
