    Experienced BBs ONLY - Getting on and staying on, LONG TERM CYCLE ADVICE

    Hi guys,

    Long time no post.

    Firstly Big Boys only and experienced BB like Mike XL, etc..., no newbies passing comments. If you haven´t got the pic to back up the size and experience please don´t post. No offence meant.

    My good mate vader like all serious BB who want size... got on and stayed on. It was about 2 years on non stop.. with periods when he lowered dosages then cranked them up again. That was when he came 2nd in a state comp and also when he had to have some time off due to a very irritated golfers elbow, in part due to the supression of natural hormones like cortisol.

    I have a few cycles under my belt, nothing to write home about. I have PCT sorted, and I know I am estrogen sensitive.

    But I am at that stage where I want to put that size on that is only available to people who choose chemical enhancement route. As we all know only plants grow naturally. So advice please.

    To get on and stay on? Implications of being infertile? My mate just had a kid after all his gearing. What do you big boys think? Feedback or advice?

    Thanks guys,
    ND

    I don't know if I'm experienced enough for you, but I do have one thing I can add from personal experience. I've been on test for about 2 years now, with other things sprinkled in during ramp up phases. I have 1 daughter who's 5, and we've been trying to get pregnant for about 8 months now with no success.

    everyone's body is different. i don't have the experience of cycles reaching past about 20wks but can honestly say from the experience and the advice of close friends that these long term cycles shouldn't be embarked on unless your truly happy with your family life as is. i personally would not stay on unless i'm completely happy with the number of children i have. yes perhaps you could recover after a stint of a year or more but i wouldn't press my luck

    Why do you have to get on and stay on to get size? everything I've ever read says you can expect serious sides from such a decision. And why do you need your pct sorted if you're going to stay on?

    I am bouncing around ideas... so if needed the PCT is up to speed. But even if i wanted to stay on.. i would have a period when I go to europe for a few weeks... where i would be tapering off as I would have no access to gear.

    Only plants grow naturally?? You'll be surprized what heavy lifting and high calorie meals will accomplish. And to be sticking chemicals in your body year round is insane. Remember ..easy come easy go. I've seen people go from slim to diesel and eventually back down again having to keep taking sh!t.This is here is a life long buisness ..not no summer-time thing. Hit it hard, heavy, and eat 6000 plus calories a day and you will grow. If you are gonna take some thing do it in moderation and you'll always get the full benefit and maintain it if you keep at it hard. It's like the rabbit and the turtle..slow and steady wins the race.

    Thinking of going on gear long term at 25yrs old is a very big step, the emotional, menatal and physicle side when you do come off are extremly hard to cope with, it all depends on how your body reacts to it but ive seen many BB suffer from such long term use, me included.

    If you will be able to have kids would depend on the individual, ive seen cases were long tern users having kids with no problems but ive also seen many you have sperm count problems.

    Staying on long term depends on your goals to what you want to achieve, but do you honestly think you will gain and gain for all them months? answer is no you wont, Your body gets use to everything, increased dosages, bridging and willing to inject for the rest of your life are the things you must think about.

    If your going to compete at a high level this would be different discussion tho!

    Good luck marcus

    I agree with the above post. Your Sperm production and how active is per individual. I had gotten one of my girl friends pregnant while on (30week cyc). My ex-wife and I weren't careful at all but she never once got pregnant. Looks like a coin toss to me. Best bet is to get off do an extended PCT maybe with IGF-1. I wouldn’t stop take nolvadex or liquidex even after the PCT period is up. Nolvadex is always a supplement for me.

    Not too many people know the truth about my cycles any more which is just the way I like it. My only suggestion if you’re going to stay on, is be somewhat logical about it. Know that HRT for life is a variable. (My .02 All men need HRT after 40 anyway, I'm just doing it sooner.) 2. Know your doses (my .02, know what your body responses to well.) 3. Realize that test will be the year around fling. 4. note from #2 when your on all year it would behoove you to stay on the same dose of test and never drop lower... so be smart about the dosage. Otherwise do a regular cycle.
    5. If you don’t have a good regimen of calories then again just do normal cycles of long ones. (Don’t forget there’s 52 weeks in a year. Ever hear someone say awe I'm just doing 20 weeks with a bridge well maybe 30weeks.)

    Last but not lease.... I don’t believe most people plan on being on for a year it just happens. I've found after the past year that 300mg weekly of prop keeps my body lean and hard and allows me to grow slowly. I've also realized that an athletic body is more or less where I'm going not so much the Bb’er look. More like your modern day WWF wrestler or your Belford from the UFC.
