Hard cycles with bridges (mild cycles in between)

[briansvk]

Hi guys.

I am curious what do you think of making hard cycle with strong compounds (test E, boldenone, trenbolone etc) for 10-16 weeks and afterwards taking 8-12 weeks "bridge" or very mild cycle to let the body rest and recover from the previous cycle, but take some mild substances during this period of time to keep all the gains or other words, to stay on some "base level of muscle mass" which is pushed further with the hard combo. This is kind of PRO prep template, so please take it this way.

For example after competition I ran mild cycle to recover from prep for 2 months. This cycle contained Undestor (testosterone undecanoate caps) with mesterolone (proviron) and primobolan. The cycle was very good I felt strong, but the body wasn't under any pressure, it was great and I felt and was very recovered after the cycle. I was eating enough carbs again after the pre-contest diet so this helped for sure too.

After this cycle I hit it hard with 250mg Test E, 250mg Boldenone every 3rd day for two months. With this I ran IGF-1 LR3 eating 700-800g carbs along with 300+g protein a day.
After 2 months and very nice bulk-up I added 150mg Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate, and switched from IGF-1 to GHRP-6 + ModGRF and started to harden the gained muscle mass and get some quality. Carbs weve cut down a bit. This combination was run for another 2 months.

Yesterday I had last shot of boldenone, now I will continue test E and Tren for another 2 weeks and then get off it.

After that I am planning to do a "bridge" for 8-10 weeks (perhaps 12, depending on contest calendar for spring 2013). It should contain just test prop 50mg E2D with mesterolone (proviron) and maybe oxandrolone. GHRP-6 with ModGRF will be continued during the bridge. Speaking of nutrition I will stay on my standard, which is 300+g protein a day, but carbs will be cut down a bit to keep hardening the muscle mass.

Suppelments: Protein, BCAA, glutamin are MUST, during GHRP, ModGRF combo Arginine and Ornithine is added. Vitamin C and B are always in, E will be added during the bridge.

Hopefully I did not forget anything.

Nobody has nothing to say to this? :-/

It's called blasting and cruising. Are you ready to kiss your HPTA good bye? That is the main question before anything else..

Bridging is a one of the protocols what many pro's use to maintain tissue and size after a cycle. If your bridging with AAS then your not going to recover your natural testosterone and in reality your going to be ON cycle for a very long time, this can have an adverse effect on your HPTA and could result in low test or HRT sooner. Make no mistake this type of protocol is great for maintaining size and tissue gains after a cycle and if your use certain compounds you can springboard yourself into further gains once you start your cycle after the bridge and if your career in bodybuilding is worth your natural testosterone then its something you will have to consider.

I much prefer doing shorter heavier cycles linked to a pre cycle prime then recover prime again then hit another SBC, this for me as been far more productive in muscle tissue gains and less sides than bridging.

Yes Ronnie's thread is ideal for the OP if thats the way he wants to go but for me personally I much prefer the PRIME + SBC

Its what works best for the individual, for me I built alot more size and muscle by shoter cycles linked to a prime, one of ther biggest advantages for me was the gains vs sides. Longer cycles just create more sides IMHO and you can run heavier cycles for shorter peroids with less sides and more gains.

Good, I am going to read linked threads... Of course I am counting with natural test shutdown with just a little recovery, but the on/off protocol just doesn't seem to work for me.. If I wanna go further, and I want this really badly, I have to go with bridging.. I don't see the point in making a cycle which cost tons of money for gear, nutrition, supplements and so on and than loose half of the mass gained. Yeah it still pushes further with every next cycle, but there is no way somebody can go to levels like Arnold Classics Amateur or World Championship like that.

Maybe after a year or so of bridging (if money allow this) I might switch on HGH for few months to completely clear the body and than hit it again, but that is long time plan.
