There's No Such Thing As "Bridging."

[Sam5]

The attack on me is unnecessary. I don't think that bridging will produce an IFBB pro or Professional Powerlifter. To do that, you need to stay on all the time. But the average person here...is average. That's just a fact. We're not professional athletes or even bodybuilders...

See the hump in the middle of the "bell curve"?

That's most of EliteFitness. Deal with it. We're not professional athletes, and what they do isn't applicable to us, for the most part. If we do what they do and aren't at their level, then we need to realize that the health trade-off isn't worth it.

Allright Anthony, because of your mature response I will stop attacking you. Honestly, a good part of the reason I feel the way I do is that another really respected trainer on a few other boards is constantly bashing you and I guess I'm guilty for being led along. Maybe I should read some of your stuff before I form my own opinion. I apologize and it won't happen again. So far you seem to be fairly credible so I'll leave it alone.

cycling roids is not just about getting your nuts to come back ..
you cycle becuase you want to gain some muscle but come off and maintain some muscle while giving the body a rest
off cycle allows a break on the internal organs such as the spleen,liver,gallbladder,pancreas,heart,kindnies they all deal with stress of steroids in one form or anotherfiltering, breaking down ,excreting or internal organ growth.

If you want to stay on all year then thats your choice just rember the body never got a break from chemical toxicity.

Id rather cycle for 10-20 years 1-2 cycles per year and look decent then get all roided up for 5 years on high doses and have major healthproblems that force me to stop all together .Such as flex wheeler,don long,pual dillet and other numerous top amatures and pros that are now a shadow of them selves .

people forget when steroids make the muscles grow it makes the internal muscles grow its a sad fact that they dont wanna face and if you tell them anything other then what they want to hear it's all "hearsay" to them.

If you cant come off then its called a addiction and you might need professional help to over come it.

stay safe bros...Lets lift untill we die not die from lifting.

cycleing , bridgeing, who really cares what its called, we all know what it is. I drop my testosterone intake to 250-500mg for a few weeks between cycles, call it whatever you like.

 

[jmead]

lol your bridge is 500mg test? wowsers what kinda cycles you run

Not that there needs to be a study to prove wheater a theory is sound

Ummmmm.........it's called the Scientific Method you 'tard.

is it the majority opinion that doing 1 cycle, or even 2-3, in a lifetime will be useless in permanently altering a physique (provided diet and training don't falter)?

I never liked the idea of bridging but Ulter once stated in a post that he has seen it used successfully and I assume he has the experience to make such a statment.

Since the male body produces about 10mg/day of testosterone (and continues to produce more) it's not unreasonable to believe that you could take 10mg/day of d-bol and recover some (not all) of your natural tesosterone production.

However, the idea of taking it in the AM in order not to conflict with the natural testosterone peak does seem suspect to me.

i think bridging is just for people who dont want to come off and lose gains.. that plan on cycling 4-5 more times and see no point in recovering and losing some of your muscle gains just to get right back on 3-4 weeks after a PCT

I went for a walk yesterday and stopped in a little mom and pop store told them my ideas on running a small business first thing upon walking in. Then, concluded with "Deal with it!" They were so greatful that they decided to hire me on as their permanant financial advisor. I also do the same thing to customers in my store. It's a great way to get business.

No, but seriously, this is a good point. If you want to recover, you gotta come off. If you aren't worried about that, cool. I just have heard too many personal stories on here about guys being on for a year and a half and then still not having normal test after another 18 months off. I just try to keep it reasonable, but I do believe in tapering- I know a lot of people don't. But, for me, it seems to make for a smoother recovery time. Not such a shock to the system. And, if it's psychological, so be it.

ps: The first part of my post is a joke directed at Nelson's posting technique (hey, it gets your attention), no offence intended. Also, on low carbs and feeling loopy, so pay no attention....

not always a person that has done 3 cycles... will have a big advantage over a all natural guy that took no roids at all... they will have expanded their muscle fascia (sacks around the muscle) to be bigger then a all natural allowing them to be able to achieve bigger muscle growth when they do come off and build back up slower then the guy that could never break a platue at all being natural..

look at lot of " natural " ex juicers at these shows they have been off roids for atleast 5 years and they still look huge compared to the " lifetime naturals" thats never used at all
