how much time do you guys take off?

[alluprbdy]

I have always followed time on = time off and then some. Now getting a little older I'm a little more comfortable with the idea of being on longer. I am on week 4 of pct and I'm itching to start again. How much time do you guys take between your final pin of one and first pin from the next one?

Re: how much time do you guys take off?

i haven't taken time off in 5 years other than the occasional week or so here and there. I choose to blast and cruise(alternate periods of higher doses and lower doses) because I already have a child(who was conceived 2years into a cycle) so i'm not worried about sterility. actually to be honest the sterility thing was the only thing holding me back before. Most other side effects ae temporary or can be corrected if watched careful enough. I do know my bp runs a little high during my blasts, its usually in the 140 range, but cholesterol is usually decent as i do eat a bit of red meat and some fried food but mostly chicken and the fried food is only a treat here and there. I've also chosen to stay on because it has taken so long to get to where i am but i'm also very far(in my eyes) from my goal and i ain't getting younger(36).

Re: how much time do you guys take off?

For my friends, the first go around is usually orals only so the omn is shorter, 8-10 weeks and because of half lives the pct is quicker and i'll have them off for around 8 weeks. As they moveinto inj. then cycles get a little longer as do the half lives there thepct and off period do get extended some. After they have 3 or 4 cycles under their belt i like to have them run at least 16-20 weeks at a clip. I believe in Dave Palumbo's theory that when you utilize shorter cycles the body doesn't get a chance to adapt enough to the new bodyweight and therefore when the drugs are stopped you will loose more of what you gained. By staying on longer you get your body used to having and needing the increased calories and therefore you have a better chance of holding the new mass. Of course the pct is always important and food intake is always priority #1. Backing down the frequency but maintaining intensity is another key because your recovery is obviously going to be compromised during recovery.

I don't really come off much at all...twice a year I take 4-6 weeks off to clean out but even then I'm running "stuff" lol! I cruise on test most of the year and hit two long cycles a year with higher doses...officially on week one of a clean out...hate it already!

sweet 6p6, one day that'll be me too, but at 25 blast and cruise is prob not a good idea.

When i first started it was just 1 cycle per year 10 weeks, then it was 2 cycles per year 12 weeks, then it got to equal on and equal off and gradually worked its way down to staying on for longer periods and taking 8 weeks off here and there. Finaly when i hit 31 i decided to stay on.
