Time for receptors to clean?

If you come off a 12 weeks blast at 700mg test a week, and drop down to a HRT dose of 200mg a week for 4 weeks and then drop the test and pick up HCG at 1000iu EOD, would be give receptors enough time to clense?

in a word...............no!

Receptor saturation is a myth.

Yeah it doesnt work like that. If you are not gaining anymore from a certain dose and want more gains you have to up the mgs. Simple as that.

Thats right.
250mgs of test is 250 mgs tomorrow or 2 years from now. If your not growing on it, then you need to up the dose, or look at training, or diet, or rest, or a combo of all four things.

Thanks guys. So what I am getting from this is that, gains will not differ if I cruise for 6 weeks as opposed to cruising for 12 weeks and then blasting again?

Correct.

When you blast you will attain the amount of strength and muscle that amount of hormones allows.

Just like time off vs time on. Even if your off for a year and cycle say 500mgs for 10 weeks, you still will only be able to acheive what the 500 mg's aloted you the first time. UNLESS.........not all your ducks were in a row the previous cycle.

The point of cruising is to give the body a break from the higher doses(sides like bp, and estrogen). The point of coming off is to try to avoid complete permenant shutdown.

Okay, thanks. I completely understand now.

So is it worth it to lower calories on a cruise to minimize fat gain?

Yes, your metabolism is going to drop significantly and if you dont compensate for that and continue to eat in the same manner as before you are going to accumulate bodyfat. Youll just need to listen to your body as far as hunger goes. If youre not hungry, dont force feed yourself like before. It should mean a slow decrease in food intake over the course of several weeks as the drugs clear out of your system.
