    EQ-600mg ew - 12 wks
    dbol 50mg ed - 4 wks
    Winny 50mg ed- last 4 wks
    PCT:
    nolva- 6wks
    proviron - 3 wks
    HCG - 3 wks
    anavar 10mg ed starting when cycle ends and going till next cycle begins right after my 6 wk pct
    cycle two
    Test E- 750mg ew - 14 wks
    Primo or eq - 600mg ew- 12 wks
    dbol 50mg ed- 4 wks
    Anavar 60mg ed - 8+ wks

    Why do pct if you are going to continue to use AS? How about using igf and clen during your pct then running clen till your next cycle, or even better HGH. If i was going to bridge with AS i would use low dose test. 125-250mg per week.

    cruising/bridging/coasting are not ideal IMHO,
    Its very hard to fully recover when you use these methods especially when you start young, the best gains are produced when your body is fresh and clean from gear if the priming is done correctly gains are amazing with each new cycle,

    with every successive cycle after bridging/cruising you will have to keep increasing the dose just to get some kind of gains out of the cycle because basically your never off gear,your body gets use to what it is having so a increase is needed,

    Ive been on all year round in the past with bridging cycles together and personally i would rather fully come off recover and maintain without any kind of cruising, the gains are far better and my body responds more,

    Why saturate your body with AAS you end up starting hrt sooner? i wouldn't advice any younger BB to start bridging/cruising unless your willing to pay the price of it. your better off using various other compounds to increase Test levels naturally and to help recovery and maintain, all other avenues are worth trying before you think about cruising,

    If you compete then yes could be something to look at....otherwise,for the novice person who cycles its just madness

    marcus, thanks alot for your input, i appreciate it. I have been looking into doing shorter cycles but havent made the decision to try them yet, I guess you could say im scared of the high doses. Lucky for me I rarely get any sides from AAS use.

    I have to agree here with this because .... I myself bridge have done so for many years .... But like stated in the early stages of this to bridge is not in the best intrest of your body ...... for me a bridge would be just test p at 50mg EOD 5 - 6 weeks but later on in years More and more is needed to achive the wanted gains ...... But on the flip side running 6 months HGH cycles and gear the other 4 with 2 months Off NOTHING plays havic on your system at least mine It did ......... but with only a few cycles i would say bridging is not the best idea

But since i am new to this style I have no clue what to run my cycle now is which is mild


    test E 1500mg aweek
    deca 800mg
    test P 200mg eod for week 1-6


    my stats are
    age 35
    hight 5'11
    weight 285# now ...about 15% Bf
    cycle history over 10 years to many to name


    here are a few pics I look like shit from the time off but wont take long to get back in
    any ideas for the short cycle system

    Dosages are a very individual thing when it comes to short cycles, the whole idea is to shock the body into growth and keep the sides to a minimum and recover fast, personally i would judge the dose of a short cycle by the Bodybuilders cycle/dosage history, so this can have a vast difference between individuals,

    Duration is a bit of a trial and error, i like doing short cycles around 30 days, this for me is ideal for excellent growth and minimum sides and recovery is fast, some extend this time to 6 weeks and some run shorter cycles around 14-21 days, i would say go with a planned cycle and if the gains are continuing then stay on for another wk and then re-valuate when gains have slowed down,

    PCT should be run and stopped when you have recovered, many experience fast recovery and many don't again its down to the individual, pct is exactly the same as another cycle stay on till fully recovered but i would say the recovery will be faster than normal,

    ONE very important thing with any cycle especially short cycles is to run a prime before the cycle for at least 6-8 weeks, this will put your body into a prime position and a very anabolic environment to make very fast muscle tissue gains for when you start the cycle, i cant express this enough how important this is to short cycling, Ive seen many people gain huge amounts when this is done correctly.

    The dosage would depend on your cycle and dosage history to design a cycle around you, if you have in mind a heavy short cycle then large amounts are needed but only if you are advanced enough and have a good deal of cycle history and experience,

    The training what goes hand in hand with short cycling is very very intense, something what can only be maintained for roughly the same amount of time your on cycle, many don't even reach this time and some go beyond it, its muscle failure with drop sets to failure, its the Dorian way of training and Ian's, very intense drop sets

    ok I am familure with muscle faluire and with drop sets i posted that i have been using gear for more than 10 years and have run 3g plus of a test compound .. so what you are saying is that i have to figure this out for myself

    Looks like i will have to spell it out for you, i will not disscuss dosages of heavy short cycles on this forum, ive stated this in my thread before, if some newbies think that they might try it cause its the goldern ticket and something bad happens i dont want this to happen so i am sorry i will not discuss on open forum.

    OK V?

    please pm me anytime with your cycle history and dosages and i will try and guide you into a short heavy cycle for you,
