How long do you 'stay off' after a cycle?

**Anxnymous** · 10-23-2013, 02:38 PM

I've read pro BB have to take 2500mgs a week to get effects because they've done them for so long. But they also run gear 10-12 months a year- So how long do you need to stay off of a cycle for your body to be to normal where you could take the same cycle at the same dosage and be just as effective?

Time on + pct = time off.

Extra time won't hurt.

^^^ Correct.

The pros have made a decision to make body building their vocation/profession with the goal of being "the best". The majority of people on here are recreational users at best, looking for steroids to take them to the next level once they've reached natural limits supported by healthy, ideal nutrition plans and training. Few guys here have any reason to cycle at doses as high as the professionals and need to observe proper as safe usage guidelines.

PCT is a necessity for all, except those who require TRT to function normally, but even those individuals (TRT clients) should cycle appropriate lengths and then switch to TRT doses between cycles with proper time off (TRT) between each cycle.

the 2500mgs a week isnt so much because of they been on so long, its because even 1000mgs of test isnt gonna make a dude whose 280 grow significantly.

I gotcha, just don't want my body to get used to cycling and having to add more and more compounds or mgs to see results.

It's not that your body gets used to it, it's similar to hitting your natural genetic wall. You hit your natural potential, if you want to go further you have to add gear. With that gear, at some stage if you still want more, you have to add more gear.

The more gear you use the more receptors your get, but if you hit a serious plateu sometimes the only way to really remedy it is by using a SHIIT tone of gear to create more receptors. Ive seen guys hit palteus, they increase there doses like 200-400mgs a week, but it still aint enough....so then they finally succeed by adding almost an extra gram to there weekly load. Thats like what metalject said, when you reach your like true genetic potential, you really have to do shit to go beyond, and that means really, make more ALOT MORE receptors, which unfortunetly comes from high ass amounts of gear.

All the newbs ask the same questions. . . . . . A lot of the bigger guys you see at the gym still PCT, pros do not.

You don't want to stay on unless you have to. There's much more to it than just taking shots. . . . Your body doesn't just get used to it, there's a lot of other changes that take place. i.e. Your lipid profiles go to shit & your RBC count gets wicked.

But, that's just a small part of what happens over a long period of juicing.

Some guys still come off for a bit.
