How many cycles can you do in a year?

how many cycles can you do in one year?

2-3. Sometimes 4 if the year contains a lot of short blasts.

About 1..

It depends how long the cycles are

[boxin23]

Depends on Cycle Length...For Example:

12 week test e cycle

12 weeks on gear
2 week break (depending on ester of test you are using)
4 week PCT

12 weeks off gear (time on = time off

this equals 30 weeks. This is following standard protocol.

So based on that You can start your 2cnd cycle in the same year 30 weeks later
but it would end up finishing in the next year.

You can use this method with pretty much any cycle...( there are exceptions and this is just my advice based on general rule of thumb )

Do you prefer short blasts? I was wondering because it seemed to me that my peaks came at week 6-8 with a basic test E cycle.....i almost feel like why not quit when i am peeked.

What is your experience with that.

thanks

although blood work is the only conclusive way to know, the standard rule of thumb is time on + pct = time off, so
12 week cycle
2 weeks off
4 week pct
=18 weeks off after pct

again, blood work is the only way to know

Yes, I prefer 8 week cycles over 12-16 week cycles. I've continued to make gains past 12 weeks before while keeping all my anabolic doses the same. The only thing I changed were my weakly macros. That alone brought more gains.

Thanks for correcting me....and yep blood work is the way....

I admit i am cheating on my start date for my next start pending the blood results of course!

Thanks though

so if i was doing a test e cycle (12 week) and wanted to scale it down to a 8 week cycle....

i would do a 12 week cycle of test e ....250 Every three days (thats how ive done it) Would you change the dose and up it for a 8 week cycle?

I never pyramid my doses in any cycle.
