Minimum time between cycles

[Midds]

Im just wondering what is a minimum time you can have between cycles, i finshed my last one 5 weeks ago, i have ran my PCT. Could i start again in another week?? My last cycle was just a 10 week test e cycle, i no they say time on is time off but i have a powerlifting comp in 10 weeks, cheers

yes u should wait and equal amount of time off as u spend on gear

however this guidleine is purely for health benefits, u can go back on cycle if u wish

their are people that stay on cycle and gear for years e.g proffessional bodybuilders so it can be done, whether its safe is completely personal opinion and what people consider safe
personally i think u should wait another 6 weeks atleast, u just finished PCT and want to get back on gear?

get some blood work done, have ur cholestrol, estrogen and test levels measured, red and white blood cell count done

if they alll apppear good (when i say good this doesnt mean acceptable, BUT GOOD and healthy ranges)

then i guess if u think u REALLY need to get back on gear for ur comp, then go for it

very good question. thanks for the answer, any more input?

Thats really a personal decision you have to make yourself. If you knew about the competition before you started your cycle then you should have planned it a little better. Can you go back on, sure you can. Will it cause additional health risk, who knows. Would I advice you to stay on or off, we I am not you so its really what you view as acceptable risk.

the cycles i have heard of from diff ppl involve around 12 weeks on and 4 off.

As ranging1 wrote, depends on blood tests. If everything is ok you can consider next cycle. Next point is, if your androgen receptors are already "clean" to have a successful cycle.
You are OFF for 5 weeks. 5 weeks including PCT or 5 weeks after PCT?

Time off = Time on + 2 weeks.

good point about the androgen receptors, do remeber that ur receptors need rest and will only be sensitive to steroids for a short time, the longer ur on the less likely a steroid will have an effect

so if u did get back on cycle dont expect to make some amazing gains, coz its most likely u wont

the time off + PCt thing is just a rule of thumb.. I would suggest waiting at least 6 weeks and then having bloodwork done if you want to start up again! if you blooswork looks good, there is no reason you can get to it again. If you are not having bloodwork done.. then yes a longer wait should be taken

What health risks are assosiated with getting back on teh gear too soon?

For instance. I'm 5 weeks off that's 4 weeks pct and a week.

I was on for 7 weeks as i had to cut short. My next cycle is planned for in another 6 weeks time, blood depending. But what would be the risks i'm taking if i was to go back on now? Note:- i'm not going to just info.

And another question relating to this. in general how likley are the risks of steroids making yme sterile?

I was on 600mg test e per week

I heard the opposite ar receptors dont get tired just look at the pros they've been on years they would have to do 3grams a week of test just to gain size. THats why its important to add something like proviron to your cycle it allows more free test to float around. As for time off you should take some time off get bloodwork done and think about how important cycling is to you. b/c if you only do a cycle a year your honestly not going to look like anyone in the magazines, if thats what your after.

You do know this thread is 8 months old...

You would get a better response by starting your own thread and stop bumping old ones...

Thanks...
