How many cycles?

[louisiana]

How many cycles do you run in a years time. Let me be more specific because some cycles last longer than others. How many weeks during the year are you on gear? It's 52 weeks in a year so if let's hear you.

probably 35-40% of the year I am on. I am including the time it takes for esters to clear.. i include that gap even if its a low amount of juice leftover, not just when i stop injecting.

I ask because most cycles are 12 to 16 weeks especially if you are cycling primo.

I have always wondered about blasting cycles.....specifically like running 4 weeks of Prop or TNE with Tren, Winny, Mast or something else fast acting. Running a quick little PCT, and then getting back on.

I usually run about 2 cycles a year, and lately have been preferring longer cycles like the 16 weekers because it is more time that I look huge, and its easier to maintain the gains because your body adjusts over the longer period of time. That said the 2 cycles don't both finish in the same year, one will probably finish in the next year so i couldn't give you a total amount of weeks on. I wouldn't count the esters clearing and everything with regards to how long i stay on in the year, but i obviously see its purpose and understand the amount of time to stay on/off.

If your running a 12 week cycle with test e as a base (or other test with a long ester) it is really a 14 week cycle because of the 2 week cruise. This plus 4 weeks PCT put you at 18 weeks, which should be the time before your next cycle. So about 2 cycles a year being on 50% of the time. This demands alot of creativity as you work to maintain the gains you've made, and prepare yourself for your next go around. But it is far superior to blast and cruise, or approaches that put your health at risk.

I am on TRT so I blast and cruise year round. I do take adequate time off before I starting a new cycle though.
