    cycling again...calling Pinnacle

    I had started a thread about a year ago that is similar to this one about how long it takes for androgen receptors to clear. I got some good feedback, but I would like to add to my initial question.

    Assuming that blood work checks out, how long, in your opinion, does it take for someone to respond well to a cycle after coming off a previous one? I know that in the last thread, a lot of people blamed SHBG levels as the main culprit that made gains come to a hault after a while.

    Simply put, let's say that bloodwork was not an issue whatsoever. How long would you have to wait in between cycles to keep responding well to AAS?

    Example cycle:
    10 weeks of Test Prop (100mg/day) and Tren Ace.(70mg/day)

    P.S. No offense to Pinnacle for calling him out. He helped me out a lot with my previous thread about this.

    I would also like to add that I do not condone starting a new cycle without ample time for recovery. This is just a question out of curiosity and educational purposes.

    Well, the general rule of thumb, is time on + pct = minimum time off. Getting your blood work done though, is the best way to find out when you are ready for a new cycle.

    For me, if I were to run that cycle, it would probably take me 14-15 weeks untill I was ready to start a new cycle. But everyone is different. Some would not need that long for their body, others would need longer.

    The longer off the least amount of a higher dose needed to obtain around the same goals...

    In other words if you took off after using Test only @ 500mgs for 10 weeks, you could start another cycle as soon as your have fully recovered and and bloodwork was normal.. The problem here is you may need 750 + mgs to obtain simular results...Now using the above and you took off 2 yrs, you would probably get by with just 500 mgs again..

    As to your question. time off = time on so they say. If blod work is good you can go back on and have great gains. I just chang up my cycle with diffrent compounds.

    Good question. Unfortunately I don't have an answer but would like to see one.

    How long for receptors to clear?

    I believe you're talking about this thread. (Could be wrong)

    How long, on average, do SHBG levels need to get back to normal?

    From my experience, (five cycles for the past 2 1/2 years) doing cycle after cycle, even with time on = time off, there is definately a downgrade in the body's response, even with increased dosages.

    This year going forward I am just doing one 15 weeker in the summer - I am hoping that my body will be as ready as it could be with 10 months natural. I guess I will find out this summer.
