4 week cycles

It has been a while since I last cycled and my knowledge is somewhat dated (I have never been great with biochemistry to start with)
I was doing some research about the benefits of doing shorter cycles and being able to steady grown while having less shut down seems interesting
The hypothesis that came to my mind is.
Is is possible to cycle for one month, rest for one month and repeat it indefinitely?
In other words, if my starting T, liver and kidneys are all OK to start with is it possible to run a fast acting T cycle, add HCG to avoid testicular shut down as well as an AI for a month and them wait one month to start all over again?

Some thing like:

Week 1-4 = Test prop 50mg ED
Week 1-4 = Adex .25 ED
Week 1-4 = HCG... ?

PCT shouldn't be needed

at that dose you will be averaging 175mg week.

trt is going to be end result, and will keep u much more level then that nightmare you are suggesting. I like short cycles but to continue them every other month seems foolish to me.

Should be just enough to suppress you, especially with no PCT and .25 of adex ED for that minuscule of a dose is like bringing a bazooka to a knife fight

Your hormones are going to be on a roller coaster ride.

Short cycles with prop are around 8 weeks…that’s a short cycle. Not sure where you’ve been reading one off and one on. but your hypothesis isn’t where you should be thinking

Actually, you are on to something. I like it when people think outside of the box. As the others mentioned, going on and off will just confuse your body. I am A big proponent of allowing your body to reach homeostasis however…….
I do phase cycling which is 3 small cycles making up one big cycle. Biggest gains have been made using phase cycling, but the dosages are pretty high.
I would also like to mention that I do not use an AI. Estrogen is anabolic however I also realize that some people are gyno prone and need to take an A I.
If you had asked me 5 years ago, I would have said an AI is required and I always took one.

clarky.

As already said, 8wks is a short cycle, however there have been some who have ran 6wks min and did ok but running 75mg day.

With a consistent test base though for the entire duration…correct? Upwards of 12 weeks or longer with the supporting cast being rotated, not the testosterone.

I understand “phase cycling” - this isn’t what he proposed though.

I am not sure about the Adex frequency and dose as well as the HCG.

The whole idea is to do a cycle with no shut down Victor Conte from Balco and L Rea (Building the Perfect Beast) mention this possibility

Actually the cycle boils down to 350 mg Test (fast acting) a week + something to deal with excessive estrogen + something to keep my testicles working

I would skip this approach. No point in trying to reinvent the wheel here. Just cycle then pct or blsst and cruise.

I understand. I do like that he is thinking outside the box.
I almost always have a test base. The androgen super water composition phase I have gone as high as 1500 mg of test and then bring it down for the other phases.
NOTE: I am not recommending this to anyone. You really need to know your body to do this because there are so many implications.

Isn’t that the book where he recommends not using an AI?
L Brea is a proponent for letting estrogen get high…… maybe I am confused.

There is something called “pulse dosing” which is applied in other therapeutic areas, what you’re proposing reminds me of that. I just don’t know how to straddle that line between efficacy and circumventing suppression.

There’s a reason why there are certain methodologies, it’s because they’re tried and true.

I just got acquainted to his work this week.

Some of it seems very smart but not my area of expertise hence I am comin g here for opinions

Why not cruise at 50? It’s a thought, then no need for PCT. I’m 47, been a game changer for me.

Clomid and Tamoxifen are nasty and was never a fan of AI’s either. They made me feel more like shit than any gear I ever ran.
Best decision I ever made…7 years ago.

It’s a commitment, I get it

You are 50 and not having kids, ditch the pointless PCT and short cycles.Get on TRT for life. You dont even have to go to an expensive clinic or a primary doc to get on TRT, you can simply do it yourself at a fraction of the price.

Cruise forever and simply blast when you want some extra size.

Avoid the constant yo yo of coming off cycle, losing your gains and feeling like shit, its not worth it.

I dont know anyone who cycles anymore. Everything is blast & cruise on HRT. I hated coming off and doing PCT.
