short cycles and keeping gains.

[JohnyJuice]

I was wondering this. Anyone ever tried doing 2 week cycles with a week break between, like such...
2 weeks of prop or dbo, 1 week off, 2 more weeks on juice, 1 week off, etc.

This would avoid shutting down the hpta, correct? Would this lead to more keepable gains. Would your gains compare to a standard cycle of 8-12 weeks?

I can't say with absolute certainty but I would think using those compounds, even for such a short amount of time would still have a major impact on your body's natural test production.

I remember reading something that said just one 200 mg shot of deca shut down the HPTA; I don't think you're going to be able to get around shutting down, but perhaps there will be less impact to recovery?

I did one 2-week (actually 4 if you count how long it took the primo to do its thing) cycle 3 years ago. It was 400 mgs primobolan depot over 2 doses per week (800 mgs total over the 2 weeks) and 40 mgs russian dbol e4h for both week. I took clomid eod throughout and ed post cycle for a week. I never "felt" or looked shut down, but I'm quite sure I was. I peaked at a 10 lb gain and retained 9 lb after 3 weeks. Ate BIG throughout and afterwards.
