Cruise and Blast protocols...

[Knockout_Power]

Let me start off by saying that since Ive never done this, I could be the one whos wrong here, but in the last 2 weeks Ive argued with 3 friends (and a couple newbs on here) who are telling me that the "blast" portion of C&B last up to 8-10 weeks...

I could be wrong, but isnt that just a heavy dose cycle if it lasts this long? My understanding was a heavy load 4-6 week max duration, hence BLAST...

Can some of the experienced guys comment on proper C&B protocols... but please do not mention doses, I dont want any newbs thinking this is a good idea.

Going to depend on the compounds you run. No?

Long or short esters. Yes?

You and your friends are both right

Sorry amigo, you are incorrect. Blast phase is 8 weeks and cruise is 2 weeks, then repeat upping the doses if you feel necessary or adding an oral in etc.. For the best understanding of this method, read "you'll want to read this!" sticky by Ronnie Rowland. He's the slingshot guru and he knows the blast and cruise inside and out

I just recently starting experimenting with this myself. I ran an 8 week " blast " then cruised for 2 weeks and hopped back on for another 8 week " blast ". After this I'm taking 2-3 months of and will just be on my trt dose but then I will repeat what I said above.

4-6 weeks with TNE and Tren A or Npp would be a good blast.

I blast 8 to 10 weeks & cruise 2 or 3 weeks.

Test. & Tren .

Then I stand corrected, and owe a lot of beers...

So "blast" refers moreso to just being a higher than regular dose as opposed to duration.

See, learning stuff into my 30s... old dog, new tricks

BTW, thanks guys

this should help as well...took me nearly half hour to find it in ronnies thread, but it was in response to a similar question

The reason gains slow down after 8 weeks or so is a combination of things such as SHBG, IGF-LEVELS, CORTISOL, ESTROGEN, MYOSTATIN, ETC, that are antagonistic to the anabolic steroids dosages you are using. And perhaps most of all is due to the new metabolic limits placed on muscle cells using the same steroid dosage. Keep in mind that the closer you come to reaching your genetic muscle building potential the fewer gains will come which each subsequent cycle. This is why many say they gain the most size on their first cycle using only 500 mgs of high quality test per week. It's also important to note that gains are not made in a linear fashion as we advance but rather in small increments due to consistent steroid use , diet and training.

At the end of the day it's just a description given for running a low dose of (typicaly just test but not always)for a period of time and then blasting the doses or compounds up into a cycle range! There is nothing that says how long a blast lasts or what doses or compounds are used as well there is nothing that states how long a cruise is between blasts!

All of this is up to the individual and based on too many factors to say it must be this or that!

Shut up porky...........

Ronnie's sling shot protocol is his own specific blast and cruise method.

But blast and cruise can be anything you want it to be. You could blast for 12 weeks cruise for 12 weeks and repeat or blast for 6 weeks cruise for 2 and repeat. Completely individual dependent, just like everybody has different ideas on what cruising is. Some say cruising is just a TRT dose while some guys cruise on 500mg test and even add smaller doses of other compounds. To me cruising is just a dose that allows your body to recover (whatever that dose may be) and blasting is just running a cycle. So blasting and cruising is running cycles without coming completely off in between.

Yes but IMO, like any other subjective situation - there is experience and trials that prove one way to be optimal or most effective. If I were to choose to blast and cruise, I would want to get the most from the experience. Whimsically changing doses and compounds without strategy seems like it goes against all we advise around here... Not trying to be controversial but rather trying to open an intelligent debate (now that GGR's avi went back to normal and my brain works again)

Well i have an open mind, I just like the tried and true methods myself, and would never consider riding a rollercoaster of compounds and doses and durations
