MICRO-cycles?

[Lumberg]

I have always subscribed to the dogma of time off=2x time on for anabolics (in my case PHs only).

So, rather than, say, going 4 weeks on and making sure to wait 8 weeks until the next cycle, why not go one day on, 2 days off, indefinitely?

I want an expert to tell me exactly why one couldn't conceivably do this indefinitely. How would the body's HPTA respond to this type of regimen?

There's simply no way your body can clear itself of the anabolics, restore natural hormone levels, and return to normal in a day.

I am talking about short duration orals. Not esters that stick around for weeks.

So I am talking about your body being under the influence of anabolics for 16-18 hours, then getting 48-54 hours off. Why can't it recover?

You may still be right. Any more opinions?

It sounds worthless, two-weekers on the other hand seem promising.

I might give it a try. Worth a shot, maybe 30-60 days worth, see if I get anything out of it.

I might also try one one, one off. Since I work out every other day and protein synthesis only really occurs for 24 hours after exercise.....do one dose right after my workout and then again before bed....1 1/2 days off until my next workout, repeat.

do a dose before and after

"whatever"

do a dose before and after

Why before? I find that taking it before makes me feall really lazy in the gym.

Unless you mean immediately before, so it's already starting to curculate in your system by the time your done.
