Taking time off

[letsrun4it]

Ok I'm going to be taking some time off after a long time using gear without much of a break (about a year with maybe 2 months not using during that time). Basically I wanted to come off a lot during this time but life was always so difficult I felt like I couldn't deal with losing the muscles I worked so hard for on top of all the other shit I went through.

Finally life is pretty good. I have a job as a personal trainer that I like (as far as jobs go) and I have a wonderful girlfriend and I moved from the country into the city where a 23 year old belongs.

Anyway I'm planning on taking IGF during my time off. I'm going to wait the 2 weeks, run PCT, take 3 months off....go to the doctor, get fully checked out, see where my body is...and probably start again. From now on I think I'm going to do short cycles for the following reasons:
1) I have a hard time eating huge or diet eating for longer than 6 weeks at a time so 13 week bulking cycles are no good for me because after 6 weeks I stop gaining.
2) For me, I think it'd be easier on my body to get time off more often.
3) Suspension,Tren Ace, and Anadrol are my favorite drugs and all act fast.

I believe when I go to the doctor I'm going to be just fine because when I wanted to do steroids I read up everything I could on this site and learned a ton and now feel totally at ease giving everyone else advice. Before I found EF I was going to take Dbol/Winny as my first cycle...thank god for EF.

I'll continue to eat well (5 days a week) and train freakishly hard, hopefully I don't lose too much.

Anyway this post was more for me to get my thoughts out...K to anyone who gives me their thoughts about PCT when expecting serious shutdown (over this year i have run tren, deca, up to 1g of test, anadrol, and everything else), how they handle time off and losing some size, mindset about it and everything...

Bro, this is going to be tough. You will definitely want to get some hcg and start running that for about 3 weeks as you come off. Also, get some creatine. I do not use a lot of the other shit like clomid or nolva so other guys are going to have to help you with that, but you are definitely going to need hcg to get the boys awake again. 4-500 iu's every couple of days.

I got the HCG....running it now, I'll def be running the clomid and the nolva...no ball shrinkage after all that gear....but I fear my sex drive will be zero in a few weeks... My gf is the ultimate nymph too (she'd go 15x a day if I was down) so cialis and viagra will be my best friends.

I've found that Red Blast, Creatine/Glutamine while OFF has been a HUGE help in maintaining size and drive to even workout 4X weekly--its tough when off lol. Its been 3+ months. Strength has barely gone down on all lifts with this stuff. Good to see you have the ED drugs avail. b/c you will need them. Wait a few weeks till you start the clomid. You sound like you got alot of stuff in you so let the levels come down then start clomid. I've had to do several PCT's twice post cycle after long runs. So I take clomid and AIFM for quite awhile after...until I feel the boys come back.

Your 23, I concur shorter cycles will be good for you and you will still gain lots of muscle over the next 10 years,

Diet, training, rest are 95% of the equation especially at your age.

Yea I really can't see the downsides to running 4-6 week cycles of Test/Tren or Test/Masteron or Test/Drol.

I've had a long talk with myself how diet and training and rest are even MORE important now that I'm off the gear. It's easy to get motivated by results to train and keep the diet right.

I'm going to do the whole world of supplements and IGF, basically everything I can. The time off will be nice so I can get the freaky results again...the shit was barely working anymore. I realize it'll never be like the first time, but lately it's been ridiculous.

bro, good luck with the PCT, I'm in the same position, I've been on for 10 months, just running different compounds every few months, the only reason I'm coming off next month is due to a major surgery on my left knee. I'f I didn 't have that to deal with, I'd stay on for at least until the end of summer, the gains are just too good right now. Plus the fact that I feel like GOD, there's just no other feeling that can compare with running a gram of test with other compounds, I love it!!

Hey bro...im in the exact same situation right now as you...been on about a year or a tad over and im 25 yrs old...def time for a break as i havent been able to hit the weights with the same tenacity as I could way earlier last year...and for me also 4-6 week cycles seem the perfect way to go....it even preaches that in The Perfect Beast...but like most theories this isnt hype at all...the body's catabolic hormones start catching up and balence out to the anabolic hormones after 4-6 weeks until there is homeostasis, which it what it seems like ure getting, as I am.

When i did my bb'ing competition in april I was 5% and peeled, and even after 6-7 months of roid use i was still able to gain incredible amounts of size right after the long cutter of 4-5 months, in 6 weeks went from 163 bone dry at 5'9 to a carbed and pumped up 195 and about 7% still w/lower ab veins. So for me, im going to get shredded again, do a show, bulk for 4-6 weeks then take a good 4 months off and continue to stay lean with some hgh, igf...I think staying leaner helps with the gains...just what Ive noticed though..

I feel the same... I need to take a break soon. Currently im 6 weeks into a bulker, and I have it planned for 12. Once Im off, I think Im going to stay off about 6 months. I was on almost all of last year, and I just feel like my body needs a break

I'll be taking a few months off (of gear) starting in July. Will have been on for 7 months by then. Never really "off" though. Even during this time I'll be on GH and IGF-1.
