I stay on year round, been on for pretty much 2 years straight. In the off season I'll blast my test anywhere from 750-1000mg, and usually throw in tren or deca, gh and insulin along with it. The lowest I go on my test right now is 500mg. I will only use orals the last 6 weeks before a show. The only reason I've decided to go this route is because I compete and have made it to a fairly high level. In the competitive bodybuilding world I think most will agree that it's easier on your system to blast and cruise, it eliminates some of the stress pct can put on your body, and there is never enough time to follow the time on plus pct= time off rule. If I wasn't competing but still decide to use, I'd stick to the normal 12 week cycles and pct.
