    Question Love the sauce!! Read ME PLZ

    Well let me start by saying i am really happy with the way my cycle is going, i've gained just about 30 lbs (more like 27 to be exact) and i'm only in my 6th week..Everyone that has seen me has made comments, i probably get 9-10 a day, on ppl telling me i look huge, my arms look huge all around its good..i know it's quality muscle as well just for example today i hit back and pre cycle i was doing 12 reps of wide grip chins with a 45lb weight attached, now i am 25 lbs heavier and i can do 20 no problem..but here is my question


    i'm reading "building the perfect beast" in it the author pushes cycle that don't exceed 6 weeks as a matter of fact most of his cycles end at day 28! followed by 20 days pct then jump right on cycle again...he seems to know his shyt, and some things in the book i am already utilizing b/c they make good sense but this goes against everything i have read here..i was wondering since my gains have been more than i expected this cycle..should i end it and start pct before it levels off or should i continue? any thoughts would be appreciated

    yea, i know there is water retention for sure..i've recieved a couple comments from ppl saying my cheeks look bloaded (i told em it was creatine lol) but i really have no way of knowing for sure but i'd say 20 lbs looks to be lean mass split the other 7 between fat/ water guessing that is

    Is that you in that pic..........you look awesome. If you have made that much gains on half a gram of test a week plus M1T then I think you have potential to go far. I will be seeking some advice from you in the future. To answer your question....................

    So many people have different views on bodybuilding so in a way most of what we do is trial and error so you could give this method a try and see how you react. Most people do time on = time off. Im only on my first cycle at the moment. Same as you but I used dbol instead of M1T and im not using anavar . I will be doing 10 weeks on 10 off but sometime in the future I will be experimenting with things like this.

    All I can is you could give it a try, but..........your on a role......the test your using take 2 weeks to kick in and 4-5 weeks to totally take effect so why stop now? It would be a different story if the gear you was using was fast acting but seing as its test e you may aswell keep going for the full 10 weeks or so. Im a newbie to this but I hope ive given you something to think about regarding the points I made. Good luck.............im sure whatever you do youll still be a monster.

    If this is your first cycle I'd finish the intended itinerary and take proper pct and then some time off to continue working out while "off" for the first time. You need to get used to being off too. Save the short cycle for next time if ya want. Short cycles also tend to be heavier dosage cycles and you are not ready for big dosages yet. Get more for less while you can.

    yea thats me and thanks for the compliments bro..that pic was actually before i cycled but i feel like i'm way too small there i look like an underwear model as opposed to a bb'er iwanted bigger arms and ANY kind of traps..finally my arms are MUCH better now, still need traps IMO can't bring em up..lats are a lil behind too..

    NYC big mike - he actually reccomends 1-2 mg/per lb on first time cycles so thats exactly 500 low dose..i don't know what to do right now, i dont wanna lose what i have but i don't want to require more AAS for longer period of time if i dont have to

    Any thoughts PINN??

    I would keep it going. I wouldn't try doing what that book says until I had problems making good gains off of future cycles. You're having no problems so don't stop now. Keep blowing up! I'm on day 3 of my bulker. I'm hoping to put on 35 lbs.

    Holy Shit! I agree you look freaking awesome already in that pic! You must have incredible genetics!

    I do short cycles, like 4 weeks on 2 weeks off. I use all short esters though (Tren acetate, test base or prop, dbol ...). I get flu like symptoms & tired, that is when I cycle off, usually at 4 weeks. Plus I think the PCT goes better that way, you are basically back to normal in a few days.

    But I agree, there are so many different methods & different ones work better for different folks. Probably should stick with your current cycle, then try something a bit different next time & compare.

    I would drop week 13 and 14,no need to do anavar for the extra 2 weeks,would be better to go for PCT and hold your gains.Would be great if you could add IGF in PCT,I think you would respond well.

    I'm pretty curious about the shorter cycles too. I just read that section of book yesterday actually. I really do believe you shouldn't up your dose until you stop gaining as well. I just might have to try a 4on/2off tri-cycle or something. Just throwing ideas out here, but:


    Test prop wk1-4: 500mg(each week)
    HCG wk4: dose??
    nolva wk5-6: 40/20

    cycle two:
    maybe prop and dbol ??

    cycle three:
    test/tren ?

    who knows. I'm really not sure how 4 week injectable cycles would work... Very curious.

    I'll take my lumps for this comment but here goes.......... L.Rea is not as educated on AAS as people believe. His work is ok but I often see many mistakes in his MD articles. Dave Palumbo is even worse.

    I am on your side on this one bro.

    Outstanding genetics are aiding in the results you are getting out of this cycle. Also, as mentioned, you will shed a few lbs when you are off due to water. The moon face is the worst part of test as far as I am concerned. I hate that more than the back zits.

    i read that Anavar users see best results when dosed at 8 weeks and helped retain gains..and i wanted to add IGF but i heard it doesn't work well with clen ?? and it is a bit expensive, i've spent enough on this cycle already lol var is not cheap..

    BIG KLG- I agree with you some of his stuff makes good sense and others seem a little unorthodox it's hard to pick and choose between them

    maybe i am more like you...it sounds like it anyway..i'm confused as what to do...but i think i'm gonna stick this one out and see if and how much more i can possibly gain..my arms are bigger now at rest then they were flexed a month ago, over 1 1/2" gained so far..but i think it's just b/c they have been waiting soo long to grow, they needed this extra boost, i d k

    my diet goes against what i've learned on here (thats why i tend to stay out of the diet forum) but i do mix carbs and fats in almost every meal except PWO,PPWO, and before bed

    here it is in a nutshell but it varies sometimes..i have a protein shake every meal

    7am-3 packets regular oatmeal, 8 egg whites, 2 whole eggs

    9am-8 oz grilled chicken breast, 1 cup multi grain rice, broccoli

    11:30-PWO

    1:30 -8 oz chicken breast/ 1 cup rice

    3:30-flame away on this one..taco bell or 2 slices of pizza ED

    5:30-MHP Up Your Mass shake

    7:30-steak/ sweet potato/ baked beans

    9:30-fish/ rice/ almonds

    11:30-muscle milk/almonds

    thats what my schedule is for today anyway..i started off with the mentality that i was going to bulk and eat whatever i want, but then i decided to have a cheat meal everyday, unless i started gaining too much fat but so far so good it's working for me..the protein shake i have with every meal is a myoplex original 42 grams of protein..anyway i'm ALOT cleaner and very strict when i cut but this is my first serious bulker

    Well in pct, i plan on adding a few supps that hopefully will help..some of them are tongat ali, tribulus, creatine, arginine, avena sativa..also my protein intake is gonna remain extremely high..around 600 grams a day, and i'lm going to drop the 3:30 meal..also if you look i'm running var right up into PCT and then i will be taking clen ..i heard both of these help retain lean mass

    I think ultimately it comes down how long you are on verses off how good your gains are. I am not going by the equal time off to time on any more.

    There is a limit to how short to be on, I remember when there were those recommending 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off. I think that is too short to see any real gains for sure. But 4 on / 2 off is descent. At 4 weeks PCT is very short.

    But another argument that is often proposed is that PCT is relatively short & predictable with cycles up to 6 - 8 weeks. After that PCT can be a very long deal for some individuals, and becomes a far more unpredictable variable. I don't think I would want to subject my liver or kidneys to longer cycles than that either. I certainly wouldn't do an oral more than 4 weeks.

    i did that when i cycled...its very safe and i still got great results.

    the reason for that 6 weeks on 4 weeks off then cycle again kinda stuff is that it will prevent you from "see-sawing" with muscle gains.

    For traps, get some wrist straps and bang out reps of shrugs with a barbell. Your working sets should be around at least 300lbs. It really helped me out. That and sometimes upright rows and the usual deadlifts.

    You prolly have gained a fair amount of water and I suspect fat too from this cycle. I was thinking 30lbs this boy must be running some heavy stuff (like insane doses of tren ). dont mean to undercut your training or anything cause you definently added some muscle and strength and fat and water can be cut out later on. good luck with training.

    one thing people here have missed is the time off. now although chort cycles can produce great results, a short cycle does not mean shorten pct and time off. once the body is shut down which depending on what your takeing is 3 days to around 2 weeks, there is no telling how long it will take to recover.
    time on = time off is a general rule when an avrage cycle is 12 weeks. the only way to know forsure is to go and get blood work done.
    I will also say congrats on a nice pick there you are looking good.
    but not to sound like an ass here I have a hard time believing 30 lbs lean in 6 weeks. m-1t will bloat ya big time and test-e takes around 4-5 weeks to even start working. but regardless, ya do look good.
    keep it up bro, and I would stick out the cycle

    Looking good bro, you should start a diary so we can see your progress. I'm anxious to see how much bigger you get.
