What is bridging?

its a state of delusion that as dial tone alluded to, people who want to stay on the roids permanently try to drop their dose and change their agent for a short time, thereby staying on an anabolic, in place of getting off the drugs and allowing their body to renormalise. does it work? generally, no. i have read the theory on a couple of bridges and theyre plain bullshit.

No beating around the bush with that one 
The average juicehead does NOT need to even think about bridging...An advanced competitor would be a different story imo...
Bridging is great way to go from one cycle to the next. Some people who like to use a small amount of AS, like dbol for instance, to keep their gains call that bridging as well.
If you use a bridge in the traditional sense you would do your bulking cycle and then use a small amount of AS during the time you await your cutting cycle. This helps you keep your gains from the bulking cycle and also means you don't have to go through a PCT routine or go straight to cutting. Many guys like to do this because they can start losing the water and fat from the bulk for a month or two before actually beginning the cutting cycle.
The other way it's used is to take a small amount of AS during the time you're not on a cycle. Using 10mg/day of dbol is the most popular and the best way to keep your own natural test in production while still being able to benefit from a small dose of AS.

The BIG flaw you forgot to mention with that is that even VERY low doses of ANY exogenous anabolics are going to impair full proper natural test recovery...So in essence you are NOT coming off...
10 mg of Dbol a day WILL suppress your endogenous test production therby not allowing a full recovery (ESPECIALLY in a state where you are probably in a COMPLETE hormonal disarray RIGHT after the cessation of a cycle
)

A bridge is a false tooth, known as a pontic, which is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The two crowns holding it in place that are attached onto your teeth on each side of the false tooth. This is known as a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might do with removable partial dentures.
Or did you mean steroid cycle bridge??

The big flaw in that post is that it's not true. Studies going back to the 70's show that dbol upon rising will still allow full recovery in most men since it's not inhibitory enough to slow LH and FSH production enough to even be considered a factor in recovery. So in essence you ARE coming off and achieving full recovery.

Yes, I have seen this one debated over and over to no definitive avail either way...
What I CAN tell you is that I DID bridge once with Dbol 10 mg in the AM upon waking everyday (and while I DID retain most of the strength and weight gains in between cycles), BUT I had an almost entire loss of sex drive the ENTIRE TIME (probably largely caused by the lack of natural testosterone production at the time from the exogenous hormone I was ingesting...)
I PERSONALLY will NEVER run a bridge again and would not advise anyone else to if FULL natural test level recovery is your goal. Because you are deceiving yourself if you think you can get a full test recovery while still taking 10 mg of Dbol in the morning...(that's my opinion.....after much review)
But I know everyone has their own opinion on this one, and mine is to AVOID the "Dbol Bridge"

ulter could you link some of those studies please?
the ones i saw were bullshit
also it goes against my grain to think that being on a dose of something high enough to inhibit you and bring on endogenous hypogonadism is tolerable enough recover on endogenously. just doesnt add up.
cheers

The first test was the one I posted on the other thread.
The amount of actual test that gets into your blood from the 10mg of dbol is about what you'd make in a day 5-7mg. Because the dbol is taken in upon rising when natural test levels are high and it's gone by lunch your HPTA function will continue in the PM and while you sleep. Or so goes the theory as Bill Roberts tells it.
It's worked for me and most the body builders I've known over the last 20 years. It was discovered in 1976 in this study.
