Any limit to the amount of cycles??

[Robin Hood]

Is there any limit to the amount of cycles a person must apply to??...ie, 6weeks on, 6 weeks off, 6 weeks on, 6 weeks off, etc etc??...or can you carry on, but just have to change to different type of steroids....

You really should take the time off that you were on. 2 month cycle, then take 2 months off. and usually if i do the same routines and it becomes norm, i switch up the routines(products). never want to do it continuous. NEVER.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats how you get fucked up.

Time on = at least time off for me, then get your bloodwork done to see if your lipids are all normal.

Sorry for all these questions guys, but ive also heard that when you stop using steroids, you loose gains and strenth RAPPIDLY.....Anything to prevent this???..tia

thats why u take PCT.....of course you're going to lose some, thats a given, but with proper PCT, you can keep most of what you've gained

 

[TexasCreed]

since you might ask, pct is post care training, clomid, nolvadex, etc. we have threads here dealing with pct.

 

[Robin Hood]

ok....i catch your drift.......So taking Nolvadex while on cycle, should actually be a good thing then
thx for the advice...

 

[TexasCreed]

Bro, you need to do some research on what you are taking or what you are going to take. it is not always necessary to take certain ones, it all depends on what your on. seriously ask the mods for the certain links to pct. but having some clomid and nolva are always a good thing

Not unless you need it. Texascreed is talking about Post Cycle Therapy. That is what you do after a cycle to kickstart the Hypothalamus Pituitary Testicular Axis (HPTA) and maintain the gains you made on cycle.



Veterans’ Consensus Statement on Post-Cycle Recovery©

Anabolic/androgenic steroids are used widely in human and veterinary medicine, and are increasingly useful to the training methods of elite athletes. Benefits of the intelligent use of anabolic/androgenic steroids include enhanced quality of life and the promise of greater longevity, as well as marked improvements in body composition, strength, and stamina. However, anabolic/androgenic steroids produce their benefits by interfering with the endocrine system, a complex system of glands and brain structures that are normally kept in an homeostatic state of balance by the action of countless subtle, sensitive feedback mechanisms. The perturbation in normal endocrine function that is introduced by the use of anabolic/androgenic steroids can, through these feedback mechanisms, elicit compensatory endocrine responses, such as up or down regulation of essential enzyme stores or of receptor molecules, in order to maintain homeostasis. When these compensatory mechanisms persist into the post-cycle era after steroids have been withdrawn, unwanted effects can occur, such as fatigue, depression, loss of sex drive, loss of size and strength, and others. Fortunately, both prophylactic and restorative measures that the athlete can take in this situation are now fairly well known.
Many athletes have agreed that androgenic/anabolic steroids render appreciable gains for a limited time only. As said gain period differs between individuals, this CS will refrain from any recommendations to the optimum time of such therapy but discuss methods of restoring optimum normal endocrine function.

It should be noted that the longer a cycle lasts past the eight-week mark, the harder testosterone recovery becomes. The best way of gauging ones hormonal milieu and planning compensatory measures is to have blood tests done prior to and following cessation of AAS therapy. For the purpose of this Consensus Statement and the awareness of a lack of testing athletes, the following universally accepted post cycle hormone status is assumed:

a) Luteinizing Hormone (LH): low to none, Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone (LHRH): low to none
b) Testosterone (T): low
c) Estrogen (E): high in relation to T
d) Cortisol (C): high
e) Red Blood Cell (RBC) count: falling
