It was a good read. You should revise it with your new beliefs, experience ect. I'd be even more curious to read that.
So correct me if I'm wrong... Your saying a 3-4 week cycle is more consistent, keep able gains than running a 12 week cycle. the more androgenic the better the gain in quality muscle mass?
I'd be so curious to pick your brain bro. You have experience and knowledge. Can't put a price on that
Can it be 9 mos after a cycle I'm still dealing with elevated cortisol levels? Not major, but combined with everyday stress which I have a lot mostly self inflicted, and post cycle shit?
No, the opposite -- it's the anabolic qualities that have the actual tissue building effect. But yes, moderate gains are more permanent, over the long haul. And I wouldn't start a cycle if you have anything out of whack.
