why can't you cycle year round?

Listen, I am all for living life to its fullest. Hell, I'm on a cycle right now.
I am not anti steroids or other things.
However, I think one is living in a dream land if they don't admit that there are risks that come with all the side effects.
High blood pressure is bad for one's health.
Messed up lipids is bad for one's health.
Overly thick blood is bad for one's health.
Etc, etc, etc...

Yes sir! Hypertension, poor lipid metabolism, and changes in insulin growth factors are three of many risk factors linked to a number of neurodegenerative disorders (and other diseases).

Pretty ignorant IMO to be so carefree about longevity and to dismiss the fact that you could spend the last one or two decades of your life with various forms of dementia (vascular dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body disease, Picks Disease). Go observe individuals and their families struggling with neurodegenerative disorders and you'll appreciate how important a HEALTHY and LONG life.

I've worked with many cancer patients over the years as well. I've never met one yet who was happy to die early. They may accept death, but given a choice between living and dying, every person I've every helped would take more life over less.

Lewy Body disease

Had to look that one up. Lovely.

Do you know anything about testosterone replacement therapy? Older men with high normal test levels have lower rates of heart disease than older men with low test. TRT should increase the average lifespan when done correctly. Steadily declining natural testosterone as we get older brings more risks than properly done TRT.

I'm already on medication for high blood pressure. It's well within the safe range at all times. I give blood when my hematocrit gets near the top of the range. Anavar can mess with blood lipids temporarily, but my HDL and LDL numbers are great off cycle. This is my last cycle with var anyway.
