How much time do you take off from cycle

Just curious how much time people are taking the time off to let your body recover.

I think 3 months is enough even if my cycle was a 16 week cycle .....as long as I've used post therapy measures , clomid etc.

Best cycles are maximum 2X/year. The longer you wait, the fresher your receptor sites and the better gains you will get. I cycle once/year just b4 summer and the rest of the year I am on natural supplements.

Well, that seems to be the general concensus around internet boards. BUT, for sake of debate, has any actual studies been done on the subject?

If anyone knows of any, please provide the link.

I disagree the best results come from year around use. They are not necessarily the safest and I am not recommending it for most but the difference is noticeable. I don't think you will find a study since the medical value would be questionable so I think you will have to go from practicle experience.

agreed..............theres a better chance of your body accepting the new muscle mass as well, as you get your body to accept the changed set point.
