    SURVEY: How long have you been using AAS without time off?

    Hey, I'm trying to better understand how people are using AAS to grow and maintain that physique. A part of this research is to survey you guys on the lengths of your usage and your strategies employed to maintain the big boy physique. So, do you use 12 weeks on, PCT, then 16 or so weeks off before using AAS again? Or are you using AAS for 12 weeks then bridging over to another 12 weeks for example? Or what? How are you best avoiding the weight loss inbetween cycle? Please take a second to shed some light on what strategy you use and why. Thank you

    currently on a 25 week cycle and not suffering any sides hence the long cycle, after that use a strong aggressive PCT plan, then off for roughly 2-4 months depending on blood levels etc...

    cycle started at:

    d-bol weeks 1-4
    Sust 250 weeks 1-15
    deca weeks 1-13


    Then moved on to Tren E and Test E

    tren E weeks -15-25
    Test E weeks- 15-27

    PCT involves HCG after last test jab at 250iu every 4 days for 2 weeks then after thats out the system clomid and novla for a further 3 weeks, and also taking tribulus and vitamin c through entire PCT i also have caber on hand for any libido issues and adex for any gyno issues but like i say deca was a 19-nor compound and never suffered any deca dick or gyno only a little water retention.

    and the reason i put it partially down to sides is because if your doing a strongish cycle and not getting any sides and all BW is ok then why not make the cycle longer to maximise gains, thats why i changed to test tren half way thorugh as all levels were ok, like i say after a long cycle ensure that you do an aggressive PCT and after BW is done again and its normal you kinda know your limits.

    Hopefully it will sort out those "ideas".
    Do you maintain your physique with your approach to cycling? Or do you find you experience some fluctuation in weight inbetween cycles? If so, what?

    if i run 200mg a week of test between cycles i lose about 5lbs......usually i run a pct in which case i will lose 10-15lbs but allot of water because i don't use ai's for bloat. im in the low 300s though and i think guys who are heavier tend to fluctuate more in weight.

    no i do one or the other not both at the same time. if i do a 12 week cycle i usually do pct after. if i do a six week cycle instead of pct i might just take 200mg a week for 6-8 weeks and then go into a second 6 week cycle and follow that with pct.

    And how would you describe the weight maintenance after coming off a blast?

    Sorry I should have been bait clearer...

    I mean guys who blast and cruise to the next cycle that are doing it for purposes of competing not for trt.

    How long?
    What compounds?
    What doses?
    Sides?
    Planned PCT?
    Stats?

    All the good stuff...

    Might be a personal question but did you visit fertility clinic before and bank some sperm? you might not be able to have kids which you might not care about but thats something I would definitely consider if I were to go TRT

    No you where clear. You have been around long enough to know I take every opportunity to be a smart aas. No harm meant.

    Now I would like to clarify since I am on TRT if I had a choice I would rather not be. Some people claim how TRT makes them feel 20 again. I feel better than I did a few years ago but nothing like I did when I was 20 and I would never risk shutting down my natural test if I had a choice so to me blasting and cruising is a bad idea. You may think you wont care now but someday you might and what happens if/when the health-care is more screwed up and you can not get test anymore? You may be stuck trying to find black market and then if that's a problem you dont have any and are stuck with either very low or no natural test so your dumb stick will only be good for taking a piss.

    Dont think that it will always be easy to get. Things change, insurance changes and jobs change. Nothing is guaranteed except if you shut yourself down at some point it will become a problem.
