: I too heard something similar to this a few months ago. My first reaction was, " : -APF Because the point of the cycle is to blast the receptors and then go completely clean before your endogenous test drops and your cortisol shoots up, etc. Using a couple grams of sust would leave a bunch of long-acting esters still in your bloodstream after you went "off." I would use orals like A-50 and D-bol for these cycles too, the short cycle + the off time gives your liver a HUGE advantage in achieving detoxification. Frankly, I would love to try this with a toxic stack like 50mg d-bol/day, 50mg Winstrol/every other day, and 100mg test prop opposite the winny.Something like 20 days on/20 days off. Any volunteers?
