cruise/bridge questions

ok so i was ON cycle for about 6months did great gained about 30lbs of muscle dose was at 300mg for majority of cycle but like a dumbass decided to go to 750mg for the last 8-10weeks anyways besides the point, we learn from our mistakes. anyways ive been on test 200mg EW, EQ 400mg EW as a cruise for about 5 weeks ive been on. MY QUESTION IS how long should i stay on this cruise before i can hit the GEAR switch again, should i cruise for 6 months or could i run this cruise for 3 months and get blood work done see if im good to go. basically i just wanna give my receptors enough of a break so when i go back on i get the ON feeling as well as the constant swelling, i think we know what im talking about here

. anyways everything is going great i feel great and look great but i still want that next LB!! any advice on guys who have done similar would be appreciated. my step bro who competes on a national level told me to come off for 4 full weeks then hit it up hard but i kinda beg to differ cause i feel battling with that yo yo effect could defeat the purpose and i would just have to put back on what i would loose in those 4 weeks. so obviously im a little confused. someone chime in por favor.

thats not a bridge.. its a moderate cycle bro..... a cruise is round 200-250mg /wk receptors are never the prob thats old myth like the only 30g protein per meal one.... however the determinants of the performance of your next cycle depend on how well youve delt with the shbg,cortisol and estrogen from this last cycle...

if those 3 hormones are still high, you will loose size when off...

well i take a lot of support supps to keep those levels low, the EQ is just to mantain a state of anabolism. when im ready which is hopefully around summer time i think ill bump the eq up to 700mg and 500mg test or 750mg ew. kickstarted with some A bombs. my whole goal here is to when i hit the gear switch again i want to gain like i have been off before hand ya know.

i hear you brother.... i just dont think it will be a huge difference from what your doing now to what you propose to increase to when going back on.....
