would it be better to prolong my cycle with lower dosages or shorten it and up the dosage?

Regardless of "evidence", regardless of degree of difficulty of recovery, I'm sure no one will argue that it's not HEALTHY for your body to be under the influence of AAS for that long... yah, you might sail through a 25-week cycle NOW....but it will screw you at some point if you keep that up.

And just because you rebounded without PCT after your 25-week cycle, doesn't mean the same goes for him or anyone else.

And finally, who the hell wants to wait 6 months for their test levels to come back to normal???

Not flaming, but trying to keep sensability here!

I understand your point, but I was not arguing sensibility. If I was I certainly wouldn't have brought up my example.

But here at EF and at other boards I am sure, we have bro's that do very unconventional cycles that make my being on for a year straight look like child's play.

So, this debate is for them, it isn't about relative intelligence of certain cycles, it is about recovery after HPTA shutdown, whenever this "shutdown" arbitrarily happens.

I realize the negative effects that being "on" for a long time can have on your body, and on the HPTA. I was simply asking for evidence that "Shutdown will occur where even PCT may not help".

I ask that this debate stay strictly based on facts, and that all personal "opinions" be left out of it.

I was asking a real question, please don't answer it with a rhetorical question that only offends my intellect.

Not rhetorical bro. It's analogous.

Nelson, I respect the hell out of you and think that you have done great things for the bodybuilding community. But those two are not analogous as they have entirely different effects on the body. We both know that the HPTA is very different than the liver in its functions and processes.

But, I will let this issue die, Nelson's advice to be on shorter cycles to maximize recovery is always the best advice, so arguing the arbitrary and albeit individualistic nature of HPTA recovery is a moot point.

the reason i want to be on so long is so i can KEEP gaining! i hate the constant yo-yo of cycling on and off on and off! gaining 10 pounds losing 6 pounds gaining 10 pounds losing ... you get my point. i want to compete soon and hell i'm thinkin about a self imposed hrt program of test forever .
