    Cool Anyone do re-load/de-load cycles?

    8 week cycle / 2 week PCT / 8 week cycle / 2 weeks PCT / keep repeating..

    Any benefits of doing this compared to 12-16 week cycle with equal time (12-16) weeks off?

    I'm not sure your system can recover that quickly and then get repeatedly hit by another cycle without some permanent damage. If you reverted to a TRT dose for a couple of weeks then you would be "Blasting and Cruising ".

    Check out the post by Ronnie Rowland up in the stickies entitled "You'll want to read this". Its about blasting and cruising.

    It would be pointless running only 2 wks of PCT, you wont recover and you might aswell cruise on a trt dose if your going to do this kind of cycling but remember running longer cycles does have its drawbacks and you have to ask yourself is it going to be worth it.

    I do but there is no pct. just lower test dose. Life time effects long term commitment.
    Works though

    Hey Cape. How long is your normal cruise time before another blast?

    Ok thanks for the posts...

    How long can one cruise and blast for before they should stop and do a PCT?

    I've been going 8 on 2 off. With this comp (on line) I will
    Go 6 on 2 off 8 on end of comp. then 4-6 off. Off being 250mgs pw
    As opposed to 1 + gr
    Note. I have a child and I am fixed.
    This Is not recomended for the recreational user.
    Three letters if you go this route TRT

    Thanks man. Just wondering how many weeks on and off you did. I sometimes go 10 weeks on and up 4 off. I'm just trying to lay out a plan for 2 powerlifting meets next

    I've been on trt since '94 so I know what you mean. Good luck with your contest.
