To answer your question of wouldn't you want to "optimize?" You're not trying to put a huge amount of stress on the body as you get closer to the show especially for 3 or 4 months. We all have a certain amount of health runway and it's probably more at 25 than it is at 40. We are constantly negotiating what a drug, training or diet does for us compared to what it does against us. It's not that we fear having a heart attack before we make it to the stage but we may have such poor sleep that other things just aren't working well. Sure Breone could run a gram of tren but how much better would he retain muscle in a deficit? Also how much can you build in a deficit if that's a goal? He's probably experimented with higher doses of just about everything he listed. The cost just wasn't worth the reward.
You make some very good points and could well be correct. But I have my suspicions due to the "approved dosage range" in effect nowadays, and most pros listed dosages fall into that approved range and if they don't the trolls pounce on them and if something bad happens to the guy Generation Iron or Rxmuscle (and getbig lol) almost takes delight in the misfortune.
Thanks for the clarification. Always good to learn something new.
You are of course right in that generally you want as stable levels as possible, even to just lower side effects. Just pointing out that, for example if someone is a high dose tren user and uses 700mg/week and does 350mg twice weekly it will obviously "work," it won't all be metabolised by the time of the next injection. This fella Jerry Ward knew Levrone and said Levrone would shoot a whole bottle of Deca every 2 weeks, and no one generally shoots so i frequently. Jerry had this theory he called "anabolic threshold" where he though the higher the peak youu could achieve the higher the total anabolism you could trigger, it's a hypothesis but doesn't sound totally illogical to me.
I write entirely too much but it's not to one up anyone or say I'm obviously right every time.

But here's an example, you know how NPP is supposed to be shot every other day or preferably every day. But then you look at the graph of how one single injection metabolises and, to me, it looks like it would work great shot twice a week, perhaps even every 4-5 days (considering the dose will also be higher). By 4 days it's still almost at peak and then falls. Other opinions welcome
