Thoughts of running 1 cycle a year?

Yes, it is possible. But you must understand that there are many factors involved in the question as to whether or not you will maintain gains after the cycle. The primary determining factor is: have you reached your genetic limit? If you have, then any gains you make past that limit will slowly be lost until you revert back to your limit.

WIth this being said, most people do not reach their genetic limits. I have seen others do one cycle a year and maintain most of their gains just fine with no problems. I don't see an issue there as long as nutrition and diet are sufficient enough to facilitate the support of your mass for most of the year.

How about one every 4 months? How long would it take for you to "lose" that muscle and revert back to your genetic limit? Assuming your routine and diet are on point and your PCT went well
