anybody agree with me that this sounds logical?
Sounds very logical to me. I ran 8 week cycles when i was younger based on the Mick Hart AS philosophy and I lost all my gains. Might be something to do with the fact he never mentioned PCT! Personally I have begun to think that having a planned time to be on is pointless. I will stop cycle when results stop wether that be week 6 or week 20.
