Calling it bridging or cruising or pacing or coasting...they're all excuses not to come off steroids. But your body doesn't care that you have a cool name for it, or that some internet guru devised a plan for it. If you're on, even a little bit, you're on. And you're not recovering.
In fact, staying on a low dose anabolic is the STUPIDEST thing you can do! The dosge will be too low to offer any anabolic effect but will still continue to suppress. You not only never get to recover but you're more likely to do more damage since the system hasn't been able to function for too long. Add to the mix, the fact that the body builds up a tolerance to any substance. You can talk all day about receptor acceptance being a myth -- more denial. The more you do, the more you need. This is why first timers can gain 20 pounds but the guy who's been at this a while need bigger dosages of stronger compounds to gain half as much.
I'll be honest. If you want to stay on full time -- then stay on. Full dosage. Don't kid yourself that you're giving your body a break because the reality of the situation is something altogether different. In order for the HPTA to recover, so that you may function and keep your gains post cycle, you must allow your body to take over on its own.
This is another reason you shouldn't depend too much on drugs. HMG, HCG and the like, give the recovery process a head start. But if you stay on for too long, you just become reliant on the recovery drug! Then you're back to square one.
The best way to bridge is to use proper PCT. I recommend HMG over HCG, but HCG is better than nothing. Then I recomend getting SHBG as low as possible. You can do that with Proviron (another drug) or UNLEASHED. (The logical alternative).
Liver detox and estrogen management is imperative, which is why I recommened PP's Alpha Sustain, protein factory's POST CYCLE and Liv 42. (And even if you stubbornly think orals aren't that toxic, the liver still works better when it isn't encumbered).
That's the FIRST step. Then you have to maintain muscle.
There are a few things you can do about this.
Sure, creatine and quality protein, blah, blah, blah, we all know that. And I've touted the superiority of BIG BLAST enough times for everyone to know that it too can help. Just ask anyone who's used it. But there are other nutrients and such that will help with anti catabolism, testosterone production, blood quality, nerve function and essentially dozens of other factors that contribute to maintaining muscle.
There are a lot of things available (and some not so well known) that can help in this area. I spoke to needto about this and he loved the idea and threw in some suggestions of his own but after all was said and done we both realized it just might be too costly to put together. Then he got to work on it. (The man never stops -- seriously!)
Anyway, it looks like we might be able to put something together that would be every bit as good as we thought, and for a lot less than we anticipated.
So...? I ask the question of the board. Is a natural product meant to be taken "in-between" cycles a little too weird? Personally, I think it's a great idea. But this wouldn't be for the GNC crowd. They'll be no promises of "massive gains" or MIND BLOWING PUMPS!!!" No endorsments from 350 pound freaks claiming it's what got them to the Olympia. It'll just be a good insurance supplement that'll help maintain muscle gained from one cycle to the next.
Let's have your thoughts. And all feedback is welcome.
