what is the main reason for an off cycle?

[jbowen260]

just wondering is the main reason for an off cycle to help your liver recover or so body has time for the testostrone level to get back upto its normal levels? or something diffrent

thanks

1) its nice to recover your endogenous Test

2) its nice to just go on hiatus or just go back to normal life .

3) depending on the drugs used some can have nasty sides on lipids, BP, and cholesterol

Just what OMEGA posted.

I seriously think once every 10-15 years, you should take a break, If you are on a cruise or out of the county on vacation, just do pct and take a break and then go back on.


Although, it is important to take a break from training, now and then, gear, well like I said, I have no idea why you would take a break.

Solid, Your opinion intrigues me and gets questions stirring in my head. Now this is what I've done over the past 6 months... Ran a test-only cycle for 8 weeks, took 6 weeks off with PCT, Ran Test E 500mg/ew Deca 400mg/ew for 11 weeks, took 6 weeks off. And NOW I started another cycle consisting of Sustanon 750mg/wk wks 1-12 Tren Ace 100mg/ed wks 1-10. I'm in week 3 of my current cycle and am wondering if I will get signifiacant gains. My first time with Tren, I'm wondering if I will get much benefit out of it. I got a few reps on my bench and squat and almost all the sides. Could you add input?

How do you plan out your cycles? Do you replace PCT with baseline amount of Test? Please give me an example of a year's worth if cycle(s) if you don't mind.

well the only reason to opt to get off that would bother me is the decreased benefit (muscle growth/strength) you might get from running these compounds back to back.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I would like to know

I disagree with #2

I'm not sure, but if I had to take a gander, there is something afoot here...

people say they come off for 6-8 weeks but i wonder if they realize the stuff is usually still in you for 3 weeks after your last shot so ur really only off for like 2 weeks lol

I think that, even after a long cycle ie 20 weeks, your receptors will repair themselves after 2-3 months.
