No Holds Bridge Battle 2001

[21inch_arms]

In a broad scientific prespective, I would like some of the vets out there define "BRIDGING ". I hear some refer to bridging as a cycle and others claim it's not. Some of you say it's all about restoring HPTA, some of you say No, No, your wrong. There are so many variations of a "Bridge" it almost makes me sick, I'd like to hear what other Guru's think. Lets put all the cards out on the table for a No Holds Tag Team Bridge Battle. I have my own opinions but lets hear some of your first.

Bridging is a term applied to the use of low dose AAS for the weeks between cycles. This can supress HPTA or it may allow HPTA to recover. The only healthy way IMO to bridge is to use low doses of primo at 100mg/wk or anavar at >25mg/day.

One succesfull BBer I know who stays on year-round does not seem overly concerned about full HPTA recovery... what he is concerned about is being on somewhat toxic substances (i,e. orals) and having screwed up blood lipid values and high blood pressure all the time. When he is "off" he primarily uses primo or low doses of enanthate and does not touch any orals. He also uses HCG every few months.

The only way one would ever need to consider coming off a cycle is if he doesn't want to have to inject for the rest of his life... otherwise, the body is going to become dependant on exogenous hormone and cease its own production thus causing one to rely on hormone replacement therapy the rest of his life. That was what I meant by "healthy."

dboll taken 10mg in the morning and another 10mg 4 hours later, adding arimidex at .25mg and clomid at 50mg/ed

this allows to keep gains and restore hpta

yesterday I read a post about a guy that planed on bridging with 400mg. primo, 40mg. anavar, and 500mg of EQ. I didn't een exlain why the EQ is pointlless to use. What do you guys think about Provirion and GH while bridging.

 

[BigWh1tey]

Bridgeing is really just the cycle between cycles ( usually consisting mild dosages of the " safe" AS : Primo , Oxan , Gh , Insulin , clen , Pgf-2 , Igf-1 etc. )I would't expect any significant gains , but i would expect any signifcant losses during a well thought out bridge.
Much like Hugh put it , the main concern would be to give your body a break from the more toxic AS and there side effects , and maybe let your bodies own test production kick back in naturally, but HCG and clomid will take care of that almost immediately after the supressive effects of some of the longer lasting esters have worn off .
I dont like the idea of mest after the cycle as a bridge because it is primarily an androgen and if it doesn't completely shut down you HPTA it must at least retard some production of test. ( why not just use test if your going to replace your androgens ).
I like the idea of liquidex at .25mg day after just to suppress the E rebound .

Just my .02.

"mest" doesn't shut down HPTA like other androgens do becuase it does not have specific binding affinity within the hypothalamus therefore not triggering a feedback inhibitory response.

Proviron may bind to HAR and be counter-productive. GH is ok to use as a bridge and will help shed the fat gained from a bulking cycle.
