Time off between cycles?

[Thracian]

I'm curious if anyone has seen any research or knows how long minimum you have to be off between cycles to refresh your receptors? I know there are a lot of opinions but I'm curious what the science says. I'm talking irregardless of other reasons for taking a break, what's the minimum to where the receptors will react as if new again?

time on is time off. 8 week cycle means 8 weeks off minimum. the receptors will not clear out and you are wasting gear if you decide to juice to soon.

good rule of thumb is time on = time off

BETTER rule of thumb is....what does your bloodwork tell you?

Do you think the pros follow that rule?

I believe the pros dont follow alot of rules...but thats not what we are talking about here...plus you have to understand that most top pros...dont come off...so they dont need to worry about PCT...

^Yep.

It would seem their receptors would shut down and they would hinder growth.

i hear there recepters upregulate

Anyone know the physiology behind this. By the look at them, it has to be true.

As stated time on time off but sometimes I just say Fuck it and wait alot less but I do not reccomend that...
