Bridging between cycles
I've got a question regarding "bridging" between cycles.
I just finished a pretty avg. 12 week cycle of Test-E, Deca , and a few Anadrol thrown in for about four weeks in the middle.
Weight: 275 lbs.
Squat: 585 lbs. for eight good reps.
Bench:455 lbs. for five good reps (with a good spotter , not bad for a guy with a bad shoulder.)
Have just started Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) for the first time ever. (I've learned a lot on the boards this past Summer.) I'm doing:
Nolvadex : 20 mg. / day (4 weeks)
Clomid: 100 mg. / day (week #1 & #2)
50 mg. / day (week #3)
I'd like to add HCG , but haven't gotten a good source, so will do without for now.
My question involves "Bridging"; ie. Doing a little AAS between cycles to help keep the gains. I know some guys are taking 500 mg. Test-E /week when they're "off", but that sounds like most guys' "on". Would a low level oral, something like D'Bol at 10 mg. / day be enough to have an effect, without screwing-up my PCT? If I'm gonna be off for two months, should I bridge for the whole two months? I intend to jump-start my next cycle with D-Bol at 40 mg. / day for the first four weeks, so would doing D-Bol in my bridge dull my "receptors" for the next cycle.
Thanks!

FBHoss,
So I wouldn't be doing bridging during my PCT?
You say you do 16 weeks Test-E at 500mg. / week. Is this your bridge between your ten week cycles?
What are the effects of that on strength, libido, size, etc.?

Bare in mind,you need to come clean to grow.Staying "on" only floods your receptors disabling growth for future cycles.Bridging is a poor idea.

Further more,HRT patients don't shrink up(as you stated),they retain muscle mass.Don't grow though.
Your statement is of the uneducated.Sorry,but I call them like I see them.

You said that you stayed on for over a year and growth stoped at 20 weeks. Did you increase the does when you stoped growing? Once your body gets to a certain size increasing the dose is what you have to do, simply maintainin your current dosage will only maintain the amount of muscle mass that the user currently has.

Do you think BBers stay on year round?If you do,your nieve.The simple fact is,you need to come off to enable growth for future cycles.That's common knowledge.I didn't just pull it out of the air.
I'm not looking to get into a pissing match.Have a nice day!

There is a few people on this board who cycle year round and continue to grow well beyond 20 weeks. But i guess even them coming out and stating this fact will not change your opinion.
