coming off an 8 week prop cycle, is 5 weeks too short to cruise on?

[AlphaMaleDawg]

I cruise and blast. I did an 8 weeks prop cycle at 525mg per week and now cruising on test enanthate at 200mg. How long should I wait before going on my next blast?

seems like more experienced guys would have to answer you on this one, i never blasted and cruised....it makes me think if i run gear this way ill end up on hrt sooner than i really want

I agree.

I do not cruise. I end my cycle, do a proper PCT.

Time on = time off.

I've done many cycles and my levels always go back to normal. I don't do long cycles nor do I do excessive amounts during a cycle.

IMO moderation is the key unless you want to end up on HRT.

If you decide to stay

no disrespect but I don't need another cruising and blasting debate. I asked a very specific question.

thanks

Even though you're still using quite a bit of test (more than standard TRT doses), I'd wait at least 6 weeks. This should give your receptors a chance to clear a bit and allow your hormones to level off some. If this is round 2, maybe you should consider stacking something with the test vs just using a large dose of test.

I don't imagine a second "blast" of 525mg of test would compare to the first one without some time off. Might want to shock the body with another compound and stay on 200mg throughout.

Good luck!

thanks man! you think 6 weeks is enough time for me to have optimal growth on my next blast? Or would stretching out to 8 weeks mean better gains? I will be running same dose of prop at 75mg ED with 20mg beastdrol

I think 8 weeks would be better in terms of time off. But I still feel you might not gain the same as you did during the first round simply because you aren't coming off.

What you're doing is basically a 24 week cycle (even though you drop the T some). By the mid to end of any cycle that long, gains will start to diminish. Your cells will be over-saturated and your body will compensate by down regulating in an attempt to reach an equilibrium. This down regulation likely isn't just limited to LH/FSH production (being shut down). Other metabolic functions could become temporarily impaired.

Compare this to using any other drug. If you haven't used it in a while, you're going to feel it like a sledgehammer when you do. If you're doing it constantly, you'll build up a tolerance. The solution to this? More of the same drug or new drugs that your system has not yet adapted to.

I think a solid PCT might be better than cruising with 200mg of test. Or, cruise on 200mg of test and introduce a new compound for these next 8 weeks and THEN do a PCT instead of starting another cycle (making this a 16 week cycle). Honestly though, I've never done it. The end result probably depends on the person...

There is only one way to find out. Just make sure you have a drawn out, solid PCT after you're done. You'll be quite suppressed following all of this.

thanks bro. pct is not a consideration as my natural test is in the 200 range, something I have no desire of going back to and taking cialis everytime before sex. With that being said, I might as well take advantage of my window on anabolic opportunity

I just took my cruise dose yesterday so I will have to wait at least six weeks, but I'm leaning toward waiting seven. And great detailed answer, however I disagree with your last comment that anything less than 250mg is not enough to maintain. Many others also disagree and I have maintained great on 200mg. I lost a tiny bit of strength but not too much,
And I have been cutting. I would rather cruise at as low a dose as possible so that I get the most out of my blasts without having to raise my test dosage too high. I guess we agree to disagree, but good stuff nonetheless.

i cruise and blast

5 weeks can be plenty of time

the idioligy of cruising is once u come off a blast the cruise allows you to maintain most of ur gains, and prevent any rebound effect

secondly u SHOULD cruise for enough time to allow wateva gear u blasted with to be at a low blood concentration,

this is becoz your body while blasting becomes accumstomed to the gear doses and raises hormones like SHGB, cortisol, lowers myostatin etc, so once u return to crusing u should cruise long enough to give the gear u blasted with enough time to reach low levels of concentrations in ur blood

this way u body becomes responsive to your next blast

theres also the issue of your health, get some blood work done before u next blast, that way u see how ur health is, theres no point blasting if your cholestrol levels look liek shit etc

blasting and cruising is a personal choice, its as safe and effective as you make it

in ur case running prop, 5 weeks is enough time to cruise on providing ur health is in chek

also on a side note, i dont mean to sound rude but if 200mg of test a week is enough for you to maintain ur gains off a blast you probably shouldnt be blasting n crusing since that indicates your physique is very unlikely to be of a substantial muscular development

wat ur really doing is HRT with the occasional cycles
