tapering juice

got muscle

One of the most fundamental beliefs among steroid users is that tapering, or the practice of slowly reducing their drug dosage when discontinuing a cycle, is an absolute necessity when wishing to preserve your newly gained muscle mass. It is rare to find an athlete who does not religiously dedicate (at least) three or four weeks to a tapering schedule after every serious cycle. The obvious belief is that the body will notice the lowering androgen level, and compensate by resuming the manufacture of testosterone. Unfortunately you will see that this theory is in fact, extremely flawed. This is because in order for the production of testosterone to be fully restored, the body will really need to recognize an androgen deficit, not just a drop in steroid dosage. Since for example even one Dianabol tablets could provide the equivalent of a days androgen supply for the average male, tapering from five, to four, to three etc. will accomplish relatively nothing. In the three or four weeks the athlete will spend doing this, his body is still reading "androgen overload", and is not attempting to restore the output of testosterone. This will of course hold true for all anabolic steroids, not just the strong androgens. Anecdotal evidence suggests that even tapering with mild anabolics such as Primobolan® or Anavar (normally thought of as mild in terms of testosterone suppression) is enough to prevent or delay a hormonal rebound.

So if tapering is useless what should the athlete do in order to properly discontinue a steroid cycle? Of course the obvious answer is to pay much closer attention to ancillary drug use than tapering. The proper application of testosterone stimulating compounds like HCG, Clomid®, Nolvadex® and/or cyclofenil are the most critical, as these can greatly aid in the balancing of body hormones.

just thought this would be good reading for newbies like myself who thought tapering down doses was the thing to do
 
Tapering has been out of favor for nearly a decade now.

the last time i did anything was almost a decade ago. my first cycle was d-bol only and tapered with no pct (wasn't aware of it at the time)
 
I use to taper all my gear years ago. This was before anything like PCT was around or known only to a few. The tapering was a form of PCT IMHO. I know, old school. Needless to say I don't taper anymore and recover easier today with proper PCT then back then.
 
tapering is bullshit for the most part but when I cycle for long periods of time I find that using prop for the last three weeks helps while all the longer esters get out of my system. I follow up with PCT obviously but a little prop at the end definitely helps me retain more gains then stopping cold.
