    How Many Cycles?

    As Ive said this is my first cycle ever of test prop and was wondering what the general consensus was as far as amount of cycles until a peak has really been established. I mean I know there are always ways to over come the peaks people run into but they also seem to be good for only so much. Basically how many cycles would you see being needed to hold a goal weight and muscle amount with minimal losses and then be able to continue with high end legal supplements with no worries. I understand diet is everything and I took that into the equation. Thanks for anything...

    it deppends on individuality, some folks quit after their first cycle; some folks continues to cycle till they make their career point out of it. So far I did 3 cycles in the past and I wish to go for the fourth one sometime next year.

    It will vary with everyone. No definitive answer

    Depends on your goals. You could do one cycle and be lean trimmed and feel great at 200 pounds. If you're a pro bber, there is no end to the size and amount of cycles you will want to run.

    Myself, I plan on running 3 cycles just to experiment with the compounds, see gains etc.

    That's a question I can at least answer. There is a physical phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering that causes light to scatter when it passes through particles that have a diameter one-tenth that of the wavelength (color) of the light. Sunlight is made up of all different colors of light, but because of the elements in the atmosphere the color blue is scattered much more efficiently than the other colors.

    Since this is the bro's first cycle cut him a little slack, I think that is a reasonable newbee question. What the dudes say though so far is right, depends on your goals ultimately. I think that after about 2 years of cycles, it does get hard to make significant gains after that. Not that you can't, but you just don't gain like you did for those first few cycles.

    I think it all comes down to how far past your genetic limit you go. If you cycle and get near your genetic limit you will hold on to it much better without cycling again than someone who went far beyond it, in which case the body will try to find its balance again. Thats my experience.

    Hey now I realized it was very open ended just trying to get an idea on what to expect as far as results after the first few cycles. Everybody is a newbie at something at some point so this is my free pass. but seriously without your help I defiantly wouldnt even think about using a cycle so thanks.
