    14 months clean!

    My last cycle ended in May of 2003. When it came time to run another one my wife and I decided to have a child. Therefore, I laid off so my boys were firing on all cylinders. LOL

    Long story short, there were complications and my son was born by emergency c-section 9 weeks early. Both wife and son are healthy and happy right now.

    Has anyone taken this long of a break?

    I'm wondering if my receptors after a break this long are 're-virginized'. Will my next cycle be similiar to my first ever?

    Just curious on everyone's thoughts.

    If you weigh more than you did on your first cycle, which I'm assuming you do, you'll need to use more AAS than you did on your first.

    And wise thing that you took that long a break!

    congrats bro-i cycled on and off for 3 years, stopped for 2 months and my wife got pregnant.

    So I took about 2.5 - 3 years off from the AS due to the birth of my son and surgery on my shoulder. I am now halfway through my first cycle since. Feels great to be back on.

    I will look for the thread but if I remember correctly Einstein had some insight that our receptors have no "memory" of our last cycle as they come and go fairly frequently. I believe its more a matter of how maxed out your body is which will determine how much AS you will need to promote more growth.

    But i did have to use slightly higher dosages this cycle than my last cycle to make the same gains, even tho my last cycle was a long time ago. Did it have to do with receptors, age, body maturity, etc....could be any of those or a combination of each.

    I would love to hear more about it tho from some biology bro's, hopefully they will post up with some hard data

    I would personally stay at the doses you used for your last cycle. No sense in upping the dose if you don't need to..

    Also, I have 2 kids of my own. I want to say Congrats bro, and I'm extremely happy mom and baby are doing well!!!!

    Well according to einstein1905 this will not be an issue.

    I have to disagree bro. I don't think weight places that much of a role in it.

    congrats on baby. I'v read the receptor sites come & go so I would assume after that time off you should do well. Evan at same doses but im no expert on AAS. But perhaps you could just change the choice of juice keeping the doses moderate depending on your goals

    I agree with your disagree....years ago before anabolic boards and good information was around.I did quite a few uneducated cycles.Test was always a base,but doses were too high and ran to short a time frame.I stopped for several years and started back again.I weighed much more,but took far less dosage than on previous cycles.I did run the cycles for the correct time frame tho,and made terriffic gains on the first cycle back.IMO Diesel,you'll do well on the dosage you last used.

    And congrats on the healthy son bro.

    Congrats D,

    I've got a 3mos old son at home right. First two were girls.
    No help on question, I'm on my first cycle. I just buzzed in because I'm glad to see I'm not the only "new" Pop on a cycle.
    Know what I mean? The sleepless nights from the test come in handy every once in a while.

    So, I think what your saying is he doesn't have to up the dose. In my first post, I told him the same thing. I was disagreeing with the other guy who said he needed to up the dose for his next cycle because of his weight......

    To clearify, I wasn't asking about what doseages to start back with. (Although I appreciate everyones input)

    I was just curious if anyone had taken as much time off then started back up.

    Did the your first cycle back give you the same feel as the very first cycle you had ever done?

    I'm not sure how to describe 'feel' but those who have done multiple cycles should know what I'm talking about........Or am I making no sense at all?

    To answer your question on short....Yes it did,but I was off for a little over 3 yrs tho.The gains were terrific,and I felt rejuvinated once again.Hard to describe the "feel",but I do know what you're talking about.

    Thanks MJ.

    Still puting it together but it will probably include the following:

    Prop
    Test E
    EQ
    Deca
    Tren
    Var
    Cheque Drops

    I'll throw it out there once I get it finalized.

    by the way how did your body hold up the last 14 months? did u lose alot of your gains from past cycles, cause im sure at least the first few months after the childbirth life was pretty hectic, I know it was a struggle for me to maintain any hardcore diet and training regimen, at least until things settled down.

    Hopefully you arent too far in the hole. I lost a little during that initial transition, but luckily muscle has memory, whether receptors do or not! Everything came right back, and then some over time...

    It has been rough. The only thing that has probably saved me is that I purchased a second gym membership at a World Gym not to far from my office. Instead of going out to lunch I just head over there a couple of times a week. I would say I have averaged about four days a week in the gym.

    My BF% has gone up a bit but is not above 20% which I am fine with. I'm not one that is really interested in being a razor cut guy. (Although I have much respect for those that do.) I prefer to go the PL route and hope to again compete later this year. As long as my BF is around 14-18% I'm happy.

    As of this afternoon at the gym, I weighed in at 287.

    At 287 pounds does concrete crack when you walk on it?!! It has got to be a bitch to find a pair of pants that fit a frame as big as that.

    Congrat's on the little one D.

    Curious.....why add the Cheque Drops ?

    Cool....I'm interested in how you react too them if you do try them so keep us informed.

    I know what you need.......you need a Poo stick! It's a stick that you could put TP on the end and wipe your butt. You'd be the envy of all the other big guys. hahahaha

    funny did the same thing - i still have my hardcore dungeon of a local gym near my home, but i gotr a second membership @ NYSC near my job. so i try and get 2 days a week in on lunch while at work, and use the weekends and one other weekday for my local gym-

    wow 287, i guess your username fits you perfectly then lol. Best of luck with the new fam and your training. Cant wait to bring my lil guy to the gym one day, assuming my test levels stay high enough

    Dosages wise, I would start off with the basics:

    Test E - 500mg
    EQ - 500mg

    If you've been off that long, you will see gains with these dosages. Rather then run higher dosages of two steroids , why not run several steroids at lower dosages, I'm sure that'll shock your receptors.

    Test E - 500mg
    EQ - 500mg
    Winstrol - 50mg ED
    Fina - 100mg ED

    Good to go and you'll grow!

    Indeed. I took a good year off while going through training for the army nat. guard, and you will love your next cycle. It isn't quite like the first, but it is awsome taking a big break. Your receptors are relatively fresh and your nat levels have normalized. Your next cycle will be great.
