What would be worse?

[Amorphic]

Im 25
215lbs
not sure exact body fat %
training solid in the gym for 1.5 years and Muay Thai for just over 5 years total

could you please suggest a good course of action given the situation?
Is their any alternative other then just taking time off?

why not just run a normal 12 week cycle and do a pct and then wait the appropriate time and do another?

agreed 100%

let me set up an analogy to help you understand what you are saying, you know that you don't actually grow when you workout right? in fact it's the opposite, when you workout you are actually breaking down muscle fibers, the time when you are actually getting bigger is the time between workouts when your body is resting, now that i've got that out of the way, here is the analogy

what you are saying is that you basically want to workout twice a day, 7 days a week for an indefinite amount of time (cycling for 6 months when you have ONLY been working out for 1.5 years or running back to back cycles without rest), while this sounds like a good strategy, it's horrible because you are not giving your body time to recover

so in short, what you are doing is like doing 30second sprints with 15 seconds of rest in between, you will be able to keep pace for a little while, but sooner or later your body will give out
