beginning my cruising phase

**AlphaMaleDawg** · 10-01-2010, 09:45 PM

I just completed an 8 1/2 week cycle of test prop at 75 mg ED. I am now beginning my cruising phase at 200mg test-e. I had planned on cruising for 10 weeks before starting another cycle to allow my receptors to clear in order to build more muscle.

My questions is: Is that too long? Would 6 weeks or so be sufficient enough to allow my receptors to recover so that I can build more muscle again? Either way, I will be cutting and priming myself for the cycle while I am cruising.

Another question: Should I take arimidex to control estrogen during the cruising phase? I haven't used it at all on cycle

You shouldn't need an AI while cruising, no.

I don't really believe in that whole "receptor clearing" thing,

but when cruising/blasting I would wait about the same amount of time I was on cycle.

agreed with D7M, you dont want to start doing one cycle of the back of another, just take the appropriate time off and eat well. its alot easier to maintain while on cruise/trt in comparison with pct and coming off

it sounds like taking 10 weeks off as planned seems to be the correct course of action here I guess.

oh by the way, I forgot to mention that I started shooting 200mg of test-e 1.5 weeks before I finished the prop cycle. Was this proper timing?

i dont agree with the receptor clearing as well...

400mg of test will always be 400mg of test and it will allow you to grow to where u can i believe..

At 24 years old, i think you're over doing it a little bit. What are you goals and why so much juice right now?

**tembe** · 10-01-2010, 10:35 PM

I am 25 next saturday. but like tembe says, I have low natural test and two blood tests to show for it. So I might as well make the most out of a $hitty situation

I'll jump on board the 'receptor cleansing is bs' train, prefaced by I do believe one will see better results by taking decent 'breaks' between cycles, cruising or not.

There comes a time where the body just can't take anymore. Not to mention, you'll feel better.

I've been off for 3-4 weeks (nothing save HGH) and feel pretty good.

Your cycle was 525mg a week and you are going to cruise at 200mg a week. If you're going to start cruising and blasting (which is a huge commitment) I would lower your cruising dose a bit and next cycle ramp up the test a bit more......700mg or so. That's just what I've seen in my experience.
