How long between cycles?

Hey guys

I'm about 9 weeks into my first 12 week cycle - dbol /deca /test. I've gained about 15 lbs of muscle and burned a lot of fat and I'm PSYCHED about the next cycle.

I've read the common opinion to go OFF steroids for teh length of time that you were ON steroids but I'm so happy with the results I would like to jump in again in 4-5 weeks.

Is there a REASON that one needs to go OFF for 12 weeks? Or is it some rule of thumb perpetuated without any science of medicine behind it??

thanks for any input.

the off cycle gives your body a chance of recovering and producing testosterone on its own again....if you run the gear too long you risk screwing that whole mechanism (natural test production). I was told to take time and a half off....ex: if you run an 8 week cycle, go off 12.....for now thats my plan.....but the time off is for you body, cause in all reality, as steroid users, we put it through alot of hell on cycle!

You should definity take a good amount of time...you will probably quit making gains after about 14 weeks....so go off then start again......also Dbol put a lot of weight on and you shouldn't run it for more than 6 weeks.

the time on = time off thing is very general. The real vets will go to the doctor and have a blood test to find out if their blood test levels are back to normal. once everything is back to normal again you can get back on.
