    When do the gains slow down?

    When do the gains slow down? I'm 6' and 190 at 10% fat. Even if you average 7 lbs a cycle there's no way in 10 cycles I would be walking around looking like The Rock. I know some is genetics and some is Muscle maturity. But on your average guy how many cycles can you do and make the huge gains?

    Mate, I think you are looking at this all wrong. Most of us are in pretty damn good shape BEFORE taking AAS. Which means we've got the natty gains that have been slowly developing for a few years. If you do not have a natty foundation, most of your gains will vanish after your cycle.

    Here's how I look at it...

    The easier and faster it comes on, the easier and faster it comes off. If you want something semi permenant, then you must do the hard work, and put in the years.

    So to answer your question, I would say that the hard gains should already be in place before cycling, and therefore, no good answer to your question.

    another way of looking at this....

    time off = time on + pct

    if a 12 week cycle, then 2 cycles a year is pushing it.

    everything takes time....

    yes. Not sure you need 8 weeks for PCT? thought it was closer to 4 weeks, (so definately do your homework in the pct section), but I agree in theory with the formula

    time off = time on + pct

    not called for mate. OP was asking an honest question, and was doing so in a mature and respectful manner.

    I believe he deserves the courtesey for me to respond in kind.

    So if you do a 10 week cycle. Wait 2 weeks to start your pct. Then do 4 weeks pct. Thats a total of 16 weeks. So 16 weeks after you finish you pct is start time.
    If people can't tell your on steroids then your doing them wrong

    Please enlighten me how 5 days a week is over training. Cause I'm more then interested.

    Mon Chest
    Tues back
    Wed Legs/abbs/ obliques
    Thurs Shoulders Cardio
    Fri Bi's and tri's

    Weekend off

    If you find there's over training here please fill me in. I'm a mechanic so I don't exactly work hard. I sleep 8-9 hours a night, and take nutrition very serious. I joined this forum to gather information to better endure myself. I don't need to be called names

    I may have hap-hazardly called you that because Ive never seen anyone train for 5 days a week for 4 years, ever, even pros. So lets see a few pics

    Also, that statement also applied to your weight gain comments because at 5 days a week for 4 years, you should look like the rock if your diet is tip top..
    total and utter garbage

The term "Broscience" is oft repeated on bodybuilding and fitness oriented internet forums in an attempt to demonstrate online dominance as a substitution for success in the arena of actual bodybuilding.


    Now, since I did admit that I hap-hazardly used the term why are you brow-beating me stalker?


    Sheesh..
    correct, you obviously dont know much about training given what you've just been quoted on above. continue this if you like, it'll only end one way. you just jumped on and called the chap a liar, and then post rubbish 'advice'

    i like the way you run back and edit everything you've posted (kind of pointless as its been quote replied to), kind of tells us all something, doesnt it?

    I don't know where you're from but "chap" and "rubbish" are both well known words to all who speak the english language.

    chap - A man or boy; a fellow.

    rubbish - worthless, useless, or unwanted matter; discarded or waste matter; refuse; foolish words or speech, nonsense

    For a 4th time however, I digress, do you know what that means? Or do you have to have the last word like a female? Will wait to see I suppose...
    no not at all, you have the last word. im happy knowing you have 'broscienced' yet another member after your vast one cycle experience lol

    And sometimes a quote is fake, perfect example is above, dec11 quoted me yet changed the words. and since I didint edit it theres the proof that quoting isnt always real. OBVIOUSLY! Post #25, 26 havent been edited as of now so theres the proof. So yes, Dec11 does BS...

    Nice changing my posts with fake quotes for your own gain Dec11

    Case Closed and takes a bow..
    you're pathetic Bishop, just admit the fact that you haven't enough education or experience to be trying to advise ppl. you dont even understand basic English for god sake.

    and what words did i change? i went back and highlighted the post to make it easier for you.

    srsly, strange individual.

Here we just say man, like "hey man" rarely fellow and if you called someone a "boy" here you would get knocked out by either the individual that you called "boy" or the group of men who was with the person you called "boy".. Here you just don't call someone a boy lol

    Just dawned on me that ive heard the guy who was on american ideal say "rubbish" once lol. He was a judge named Simon. thats the only time ive actually heard someone say it..
    You said you didn't know what those words meant, which made you look ignorant, so I was trying to help out so you could defend yourself properly.

    Why have you gone back and deleted most of your posts, not just in this thread? Seems kind of shady, just sayin.

    Ok so chap isn't so common, but everyone should have an understanding of what the word means.. And rubbish Is a very common word.. And seems kind of immature if you or anyone your hanging out with would knock some1 out for calling someone a boy.. I'm not taking sides.. Just an observation

    I'm 29. I'm talking the big gains you get. Kind of when you first start training you make huge gains for the first couple years. How many cycles can one do before the big gains start to slow down> (if that makes any sense lol)

    So your saying from last pin take your 2 weeks. Then do your 5wks. Then can I re cycle or should I wait another 8wks for a total sum of 12wks on 12wks off?
