Cycles or just stay on all year(s)

[rAJJIN]

Ok lets hear it, i hear all this talk about my 4th cycle or my 140th cycle etc. How many guys are actually doing cycles for weeks
at a time then come totally clean? Now how many are on atleast a Maintenance dose of test or atleast a lttl something all year
or atleast more often then Not? Im not looking for a correct answer either just be honest. Ill save my opinion till we hear from some others. Everyone should be able to voice there
opinion or experiences on this so whos first.

I have been on since NOV with a 4 week break.

I plan on staying on until my funds run out...but I hope that does not happen :)

I want to go were the gear flows like wine, and the d-bols flock like the salmon of Capistrano.

I maintain year round with at least 300mg's of Enanthate weekly.Been doing so for the last 2 years.

I do usually 2-3 cycles per year. Each one is 12 weeks and then I come clean for about the same time. When I'm not on I'm less motivated to be in the gym and sometimes I find myself just going through the motions. I'm just about to finish a dbol bridge which has kept me motivated.

30 wks out of the year I am on. Then take a break inbetween. Kind of scared to go year round I think I am to young?

I am persoanally a fan of longer cycles as I feel the gains are better and longer lasting with longer cycles than with shotgun high dosage cycles. The reason behind my theroy for longer cycles is that when you take a cycle for longer than 24 weeks your body becomes so used to having a certain amount of androgens in your system that your body creates a new set point for its normal body weight.

For example, look at former Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates. When he first began bodybuilding he was just an average person but over the years of contsantly being on in higher dosages his body re-acclimated itlsef and formed a new set point for which weight wise he probably won't go under even if he never takes another injection again. Look at his pictures now, he doesn't compete and may take small cycles but his weight is around 215-220 when you see him at the olympia expo. Now I am sure if he jumped on a Dorian cycle gain he would just blow up ,but if he was off completely he wouldn't drop below 215 becuase of all the years and amounrs of cycles he has taken he has altered his normal bodies set point from when he first started.

Personally I like Longer cycles. I agree the longer the weight stays on you the better the gains will stay. Also I dont like to jack my hormone levels around like a short cycle wiht a short layoff will. If you take a 4 or 6 week break.... with half lives and by the time its out of your system you have been clean for a week or 2.... depending on the gear. Ive been on for 7months and will continue to be on for a while longer (i take hcg and clomid during my cycle to maintain balls) then take a 3 month break.

...had fear of going off. I never went off more than 3 weeks in about 5 years now. I am on my 5th week off and for some reason am GAINING weight. Ok I am not gonna pimp out a product but, only thing is I eat when I am hungry and I have like 5 Snapple Ice Teas ED. Only thing I am on is 5iu's of GH and that is it. Maybe after my 5th or 6th month off I might post a before pic.

I have been clean the longest now... bout 3 mos... I hate going off and havin the dick shrivel up ( yes, i still use clomid) I think it is probably a good idea to give the body time to clear out. I lost a little weight when i went off, but now seem to be only about 3 lbs lighter than i was when I was on and am not holding the water like I was before!

[UMD73]

I too am not a fan of going off, my usual split is go on for 10-12 weeks then come off for 4-6 w/ clomid and novla etc. One thing I do like to do though is do clen in between cycles, it is good becasue its an anti-catabolic and it shreds off all the water weight. Biggest problem I always have when I come off is lack of motivation to train and my self image goes down, AKA why I don't like being off
