Body weight-based dosing (alternative approach):
Some prefer dosing by weight at 2-6 mcg/kg:
150 lbs (68kg):
Low: 136mcg (2 mcg/kg)
Medium: 340mcg (5 mcg/kg)
High: 408mcg (6 mcg/kg)
180 lbs (82kg):
Low: 164mcg (2 mcg/kg)
Medium: 410mcg (5 mcg/kg)
High: 492mcg (6 mcg/kg)
200 lbs (91kg):
Low: 182mcg (2 mcg/kg)
Medium: 455mcg (5 mcg/kg)
High: 546mcg (6 mcg/kg)
Most people use fixed dosing (250-500mcg) rather than weight-based. Both work.
Cycling recommendations:
8 weeks on, 2 weeks off:
Prevents receptor desensitization
Maintains effectiveness
Most common approach
12 weeks on, 4 weeks off:
Extended protocol for stubborn fat
Higher total fat loss
Risk of diminishing returns
Continuous use (not recommended):
Some use 3-6 months straight
Effectiveness decreases over time
Better to cycle for sustained results
