Switching Gears

[IronFist]

I had the opportunity to speak with one of the tops pro's over the weekend. He competes and he helps some of the other pro's get ready for the Olympia etc. I tried to drill him for as much information as possible. He charges a few thousand to prepare these guys, so he was selective with the information he would give me. I was told to switch up my compounds every 4-6 weeks. has anyone tried this? he supposedely takes 3 compounds and then switches to another 3 and then another3.... I couldn't get dosages out of him either. This counterdicts everything that I have read and heard. I thought things like deca, EQ, and primo had to be taken for over 8 weeks to reach your desired results. Is 4 weeks long enough. I wouln't mind trying a cycle like this, but so far I feel that it would be a waste. If you guys hav any experience, i would like to hear it.

Bump..

Sounds like BS to me. Why take EQ for 3 weeks, it takes 4 to get any results??

You have to think that this guys are on gear year round, so switching will prevent a plateau. Also they use short acting esters, so the gear is in and out fast and sides are easyer to control....that´s why a 4 month cycle can give good results.

There is reasonable thinking behind these kind of cycles. Take eq for example, these guys are not only using 400mgs/wk the higher the amount you shoot, the faster you will get results. Now when you come off eq after 4 weeks at 800-1200mgs/wk you still have eq in your system for upto 3 weeks later in beneficial amounts before it starts falling way down again and by this time they have something else inside them.

agree with that 3 weeks switching theory,

I have also heard from a elite trainer that 6 weeks should be the maximum for a cycle and that there is no evidence that anything beyond six weeks is beneficial. I can't say myself as I don't have the AAS experience to really argue one way or another.

WTF!!! A bro does his research, sets up his first cycle, is in the middle of it and suddenly finds out that he is doing it all wrong!! aaaaauuuuggghhhh!!!!!

my last cycle was 12wks and i had good gains til wk 7or 8 then on post cycle i had NO sex drive and it is still not where it used to be and i have been off for almost 4months!! For now on i am ddoing no more than 8wks

 

[IronFist]

agree with that 3 weeks switching theory,

Yellowbomber, what type of doses are you using? How many Compounds do you run at the same time?

 

[The Iron Game]

No one is doing anything wrong, it is more to do with total steroid intake rather than what you are using or for how long you are using it. Everyone has preferred methods of doing things. The tradition being 8-10 week cycles and then experimenting when you have a number of cycles under your belt.

liquid,
Did you use clomid post cycle!!

Cycling is not a science. It is a more of a 'trial & error' process. Plus 90% of the guys on these boards do not have the same goals as people preparing for the Olympia. So, don't sweat the differences...
