Everyone is different, and without knowing your entire AAS history it may be hard to give a clear answer. I pay a great deal of attention to the main guys here, stevesmi especially as he advocates less is more. Less gear, shorter cycles, etc. From my studies on the subject, I'm sticking with the time on cycle=time off cycle. Like you, I am new to cruising, but was encouraged to see my bloods show Test just above normal 9 weeks after my last cycle pin while on 180mg of Test e a week, split in 2. I'm hoping this means I'm using the least amount of gear possible to maintain my gains while my body gets ready for my next blast. Of course, I'm doing a SARMS bridge during this time as it is less suppressing than gear, and I continue to use the mirror and scale to guide my diet. There is always information to learn, and as long as your checking your bloods you will be able to refine whatever your doing.
