    Body builders cycles/stacks Compared to TRT long term effects.

    ok I have been wondering why these guys that do cycles and stacks don't mess them Selfs up or do they?
    Do body builders return to normal levels after there stacks? If so how do they do it?
    Is it bad for them?

    They cruise on lower levels of steroids in between cycles.

    It's called PCT....gets your body's natural production back on track after a cycle (this is for guys who are not on TRT).

    That's what TRT guys do who run cycles.

    Fred is correct. A lot of the pro BB'ers of today are basically "on" year round. It's just the nature of the sport anymore. The amounts taken can be amazing at that level. And yes, many return to normal but there are those that have issues related to it. For some perspective, the last contest I was in was in 1989 (jeez). What I did back then was 200mg T, 200mg Deca and 6 Anavar a day (I think they were 2.5 mg) and I thought it was a lot. That is nothing by todays standards and this is considered a "mini blast" for us TRT'ers!

    it looks like it worked! to be honest i tried blasting and didn't see much in gains, deca gave me some shoulder pain relief and it worked better on small doses like 100mgs per week, and anavar works great with strength and speed up tendinitis recovery. i think to make serious gains you have to take ridiculous amounts, but for old guys like us will probably kill us!

    i'll be honest Flats, i don't think its the deca or var, mostly its my diet and hard work at the gym! if i credit anything to my progress it would be testosterone ! not saying that deca or var didn't help, but at the doses i was taking they only helped with pain and strength not so much gains! var is making me look more lean but no gains!

    I will agree with you brother, but you said you didn't see much in gains.... guess it depends on what you mean by serious.... I'd say you seriously transformed your body.

    No way Bass. It totally intimidate the young-uns!

    As for 'blasting', does someone on TRT need to incorporate any of the PCT principles after a blast, or simply stay with the T/AI/HCG style protocol?

    There is a difference between steriod dose and HRT. A steriod dose will affect your HPTA more than a HRT dose. Or 500mg deca will be worse than 100mg test per week.

    IMHO based on your protocol i would keep the hCG dose or increase it to 250 iu and do it eod. but if your doc is trying to start over to fix things i suggest to follow her advise.

    Cool... She seems more on top of it than anyone I've seen... And while the 200ed seemed a touch much to me, my thoughts the same as yours

    So what the deal with more than 1k a week? Just too much for the body?

    When I left the clinic and took my business to a DR first thing he did was try to get me going again with just HCG . so after 8 weeks and some blood work the LH and FSH didn't budge so he put me back on the clinic protocol. Test HCG & AI we did blood work every 3mos after that and got it dialed in, now after a year he only wants to see me every 6 months.
