If you can possibly start your reload overseas. Most gains are made during 8 week reloads so extending deloads past 2 weeks is not optimal. After much more than 2 weeks of deloading (reducing hormonal levels and/or training volume) the body will begin to reach homeostastis-hence muscle/strength gains will be on the decline.

I don't think estrogen conversion from testosterone causes fatty deposits for the masses. Testosterone causes you to hold some water and this can blur definition to some degree but even then your body will adjust to the test and hold less water when used for a long period of time. It's just like salt intake, the body adapts to salt over-time!
I've seen competitors absolutely destroy their joints by taking a lot of anti-es throughout their entire 12 week contest prep. Add some winnie into the mix and you can really get into trouble!
When you lower estrogen you lose water that would normally help cushion the joints and you also create chronic inflammation due to now having low estrogen levels. Estrogen is needed to allow the steroid to do the job it was intended to do. Some estrogen conversion is not going to make you fat but it will cause you to hold some water. This is why its a good idea to drop test e 2 1/2 to 3 weeks out from your show. I would add some letro in the last 2 weeks just to alleviate any water retention that might occur.

Well, nolvadex blocks the estrogen receptors while arimidex stops the aromatase enzyme from converting testosterone to estrogen. A males estrogen comes from testosterone, so it's best to block the conversion with arimidex as opposed to using nolvadex. IMO nolvadex is a bad drug to be used for prevention because it inhibits IGF-1 release from the liver- hence it's going to deter muscle gains!
NOTE: If needed it's best to use armidex to prevent bloating and gyno. Nolvadex is best used to try and destroy gyno once it forms. If anties are used I recommend taking armidex or aromasin during cycle and nolvadex after cycles during PCT if at all possible.

so if i use an anti e on cycle, then i wont need nolva or clom in pct?? why do you recomend the pct of nolva clom and hcg after a blast?
-
Estrogen management is of some importance during the post cycle period since it's estrogen instead of testosterone shutting down your hpta. Once you stimulate the hypothalamus by using clomid and the testes by using hcg we can keep them going stronger by keeping estrogen levels low. Nolvadex is whats referred to as an estrogen receptor antagonist. This means that nolvadex blocks estrogen receptors on the surface of cells without actually stopping the production of estrogen. It's been my experience that either arimidex or nolvadex works during pct. The choice is yours!

wow thanks ron. well when i did 6 weeks of h-drol i used nolva so i guess i will stick with what worked for me. Regarding the 20 week blast im planning with epi and m14add, you really think they will shut me down enough to require hcg in pct? i thought oral ph like these werent as powerful as real gear. i read somewhere that you get like 10% of the effect once it passes throigh your body. Could you clear these 2 things up for me?

I once read somewhere a post by SWALE, he mentioned using arimidex in pct might risk reducing estrogen too low, and might hinder the process of recovery... What's ur take on that?
If I want to use arimidex post cycle, what kind of dosing protocol do u recommend?
Also u usually recommends clomid & nolva for pct instead of clomid & arimidex, could you explain what is the advantage and disadvantages of clomid & nolva COMPARED TO clomid & arimidex for PCT?
Thanks ron!

wow, now I am confused! Nolva, clomid, arim, hcg , what?!! Ok, some say clomid is bad, no effects, some say it's good! Some say the same about nolva, I think more say it's good than bad. Some love HCG, but say dont use HCG during PCT if not used under cycle!! Others say Arim kills your estro during cycle, and inhabits your muscle to grow! Others say bloating can be cured with both nolva and arim. Now, this is why some one falls of the train and lay bleeding in the country side
SO what is a perfect PCT? Does maybe not excist? I mean, no cycle is eqyal, and if so, no human's are equal. So what is you right pct? Hmmm....
What would be me mye right pct? I lost the primo in the cycle, I added more test, and t bol! W00t! Yeah, no bloating is acceptable, however, this is the cycle.
1 - 10 500mg Teste EW
1 - 4 50mg Tbol ED
7 - 12 50mg Winstrol ED
12 - 16 PCT (containing WHAT???????)
Tbol dont retrain water, neither winstrol! Should't that be enough for the NO bloat mission. And the PCT ! This is crucial, keep or loose! I wanna keep, but then again, the more you read the more unsure you are on the pct! !Last edited by NotThatBig1; 02-21-2010 at 03:25 AM.

I keep getting the same questions over and over again about how to do a FULL PCT.
HERE IT IS (POST #496) SO PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THIS-
hcg 2500 is every other day for 2 weeks
clomid 50 mgs twice per day for 4 weeks
nolvadex 20 mgs per day for 4 weeks
-
20 week cycles only!!!
This thread has to do with 20 week plus Slingshot Anabolic Cycles. Please do not ask me to critque an 8-12 week cycle.
Thank you,
Ronnie

Thank you!
Hey guys, please ask me questions regarding Slingshot Training/Slingshot Anabolics Cycles in this thread instead of pming me. I can no longer keep up with pms in addition to this thread and many are asking similar questions. If we keep things in the open it will help others learn.
Thanks for your understanding!
Ronnie

cruise/blast
i've decided to cruise at 250mg test e per week/10 days( i know i've knocked my natty test) and i now wish to do short blasts every now and again then maintain on the cruise dose. what would you recommend in terms of blast length and frequency per year? i'm 34, naturally peaked at 15.5st over 13 years p'lifting, have done 6 cycles over past three years and currently sitting at 16.1st.

I don't really suggest blast but rather " 8 week reloads". I consider a cruise a "2 week deload".
During 2 week deloads just stay with 250 mgs of test e per week. During reloads you have the option of using more anabolics or staying with a deload dose of 250 if you do not want to use a reload dose often. In your case I would do this-
PHASE 1:
8 WEEK RELOAD 1 GRAM OF TEST E PER WEEK/HIGHER VOLUME TRAINING
2 WEEK DELOAD 250 MGS OF TEST E PER WEEK/LOWER VOLUME TRAINING
PHASE 2:
8 WEEK RELOAD ONLY 250 MGS OF TEST BUT GO BACK TO HIGHER VOLUME TRAINING
2 WEEK DELOAD STAY WITH 250 MGS OF TEST AND REVERT BACK TO LOWER VOLUME TRAINING
PHASE 3:
REPEAT PHASE 1 WITH 1 GRAM OF TEST, ETC

With aromasin there is no rebound when you come off of it because it's kills the aromatase. Aromasin can also help raise your natural test production. Arimidex does in fact have some estrogen rebound!
You can reload for as long as you want when cutting down because you are no longer in an all out mass gaining phase.
-
It would be best to go with test e as the prop gets very painful to inject. I would do a 20 week slingshot cycle with the gear you have on hand-
Phase 1
1-8 weeks reload TEST PROP 150 MGS EOD
9-10 weeks deload TEST PROP 75 MGS EOD
Phase 2
11-18 weeks reload TEST PROP 200 MGS EOD/MASTERONE 600 MGS PER WEEK
19-20 weeks deload TEST PROP 75 MGS EOD
NOTE: USE ARIMIDEX ONLY IF SIGNS OF GYNO APPEAR AT .025 MGS EOD. TAKE IT ON THE SAME DAYS YOU INJECT PROP IF NEEDED.
21-24 weeks Full PCT

Ok. Many thanks ronnie. Greatly appreciated.
I would take OFF oral anabolics 4-6 weeks prior to bloodwork.
I don't think there will be hematocryte test on the june bloodtest.
Only blood glucose, liver panel, kidney panel, lipid profile, triglyceride, uric acid.
No ronnie, I can't hardly wait until june... LOL...
My last cycle ended on 3rd of january. I started PCT on 4th of January for 4 weeks. Then I take 9-10 weeks OFF.
Here was my last cycle:
week 1-3: 20mg M-Drol (Reload)
Week 1-8: 30mg P-Plex (Reload)
Week 9-10: 15mg P-Plex (Deload)
Week 11-14: PCT
I did 1 reload and 1 deload using those designer steroids . I think it worked very well for me.
So I gonna start my new 20 weeks slingshot cycle on either 5th or 11st of April.
I'll do your good advice.
Here is my new plan for 20 weeks slingshot cycle in april:
Week 1-4: 30mg dbol
Week 1-8: 500mg test enanthate (twice shot a week : Sunday morning & Wednesday evening)
Week 9-10: 250mg test enanthate (once shot a week on Sunday morning)
I still have many designer steroids and oral steroids . Here are my stockpile :
lots of pink thai anabol (650ish tablets), 1 bottle of M1T (120tabs), 1 bottle of winstrol , 3 bottles of tren xtreme, 2 bottles of p-plex, 1 bottle of m-drol, 4 bottle of epi, 2 bottles of propadrol and 1 bottle of methyl-XT.
What do you think I should do for the second reload?
I could only afford 500mg of test enanthate as injectable. I couldn't afford using 750mg test for the second reload as you recommend.
I wouldn't buy oral anymore because I still have lots of them.
Here is my plan for the second reload:
Week 11-14: 40mg Epi (4caps)
Week 13-18: 90mg propadrol (3caps)
Week 11-18: 500mg test enanthate (twice shot a week : Sunday morning & Wednesday evening)
Week 19-20: 250mg test enanthate (once shot a week on Sunday morning)
Week 21-24: PCT using clomid
NB: I use HCG 500IU per week for week 2-20 (twice shot a week)
What do you think of my plan?
Should I replace the epi with dbol just like the first one? or maybe another compound like M1T?
Many thanks ronnie..
God Bless You...

So, can anyone just use test c for hrt so they don't need to use nolva? Or is it something you are doing because of some condition you have?
Also, could you ball park about what week would you say while running a cycle would an individual cross the line of not requiring HCG to effectively recover from their cycle, to requiring HCG to recover? After the 12 week mark? 8 weeks?
