Time Off Between Cycles

Blast and cruise, why shut yourself down if you know your getting back on ASAP


I go cold turkey for a few months now and again - I'd love to give a scientific reason but it's mostly because I get lazy n CBA to jab

Have you ever checked your test levels when coming off to see how you recovered?
 
if your planning to go back on bin the idea of PCT

PCT - restore balls to full working order again, get hormones all back and like a natty

why bother - unless its to come off for months, have kids or similar

in between cycles bridge/trt/cruise whichever name you prefer..........

of course each has its risks but its pretty stupid (as many have said) to cycle, come off and load up on all the PCT meds, then go straight back on........ your probably still on anyway of sorts.... with the esters etc.

I think its great you are asking lot of questions but your over complicating things

go on, have time off at least equal to the time on - though this is person dependant - then decide
if your are planning to go back on again - then PCT shouldnt be in the equation, a period of cruising and doing your best to remain healthy should be the focus

if you have been training for a long time ill also wager once you start you wont stop :-) so plan your cruise period now

Yeah that's what I have heard is best protocol too.. Have you ever checked to see how you have recovered after cruising? I wouldn't normally do two cycles so close together or think of cruising it's purely because my holiday/wedding is next September and it doesn't give me enough time to do a cycle at the end of this month, then have all the time off and then get another cycle in to trim down before the wedding. That's why cruising may be the best option this time around but I wouldn't do it if the risks are crazy high

Yes, I always got bloods done before going back on cycle.

I always did time off = time on + PCT.

Now I just B+C but did do a 13 week cold turkey last year for a little break.

How do you feel during these cold turkey times?

I felt fine up until around week 9 of 13 then started to crash. I did absolutely no PCT the last time as wanted to give my body a complete break from everything.

Bloods were the best I'd had for a long time apart from test being slightly below normal. Bear in.mond this was after a 10 month cycle.

I'm past the cycling on and off stage now so not really applicable to your circumstances.

You'll recover fine in all likelihood given your fresh to it all.

I'd actually recommend you get bloods done before you cycle for the first time so you know what your baseline levels of everything is. Wish I'd done that.
 
Don't see the point of coming off...PCT fucks you up, would much rather blast and cruise..Then trt for life

Ah, apologies I misread the first post.

Well I tend to do 9 - 10 months cycles pending bloods and then either come off everything or drop to a low cruise. The off time isn't that bad actually and training stays good providing you keep eating good and pushing the gym.

Some Cialis is really useful at this time to maintain sexual function.
 
My opinion is you need 12 weeks clean of all drugs to be utmost healthy.

This really means a 16-20 make period off gear. Not ideal for great/fast progression.

Less than this your best cruising

I've decided to do a 10 week cycle on test e then take 14 weeks off after my pct before doing a shorter 8 week cycle on test prop. Didn't fancy cruising on my first time round so seems like the better option!
 
I Always cruise for 6 weeks get full bloods and then go from there, if bloods are still out of wack i’ll wait if not i’ll blast again
