Safest way vs. most effective way to cycle

[redmeat1]

In your guys opinion what is the correct "safest" way to cycle steriods? How many weeks on? How many weeks of pct? How many weeks off after pct (if any)? Also, forget safety on this question...what would be the most effective way to cycle? What would cause you to have the most continous gains year round without your weight going up and down? I've read the 8 weeks on 2-3 weeks off method (no pct) gets good continous gains...also read some supposed pro cycle that consisted of 16 weeks on 4 weeks pct then right back into anyother 16 weeks.

rule of thumb is time off = time on +pct.. so if you do a ten week cycle of test.. then wait two weeks to start PCT, and PCT lasts 4 weeks, you should wait 16 weeks from the end of PCT before you start your next cycle..
