Time Off Question

[dancinfool]

Hey guys, this is a newbie question I guess, but I can't seem to find a specific answer. I am about to finish up a twelve week cycle of 500 mgs/wk Test E. I have my PCT on hand and am ready to jump into it. However, I also have my next cycle on hand, which includes some Prop and Anavar. My question is, is it absolutely necessary to finish off the whole PCT, restore my natty test production and then shut it down again, or, can I forget about restoring it to 100% and start the Prop from this shutdown state? I have always done a full and proper PCT for past cycles, but am just wondering if there were pros or cons to doing it this way. Thanks.

Since you have done past cycles and have some experience I think you know the answer. The pros are obviously the more often you are on, the bigger you will be/stay. The cons are the more often you are on the better your chance of suppression and possible problems later. I think your itchin' to start the next one so go ahead, that's what you want to do anyway.

Thanks man, I was trying to convince myself to just go ahead with it, but wanted some reassurance. All my blood work has been fine to date, so I think I should be fine. Thanks for the reply.

Glad I could help, I'll probably get my nuts busted by some of the more conservative guys but that's ok, it's a good balance

This all depends on your goals. it is wise to have a break from cycles though. usually the general rule is time on = time off. But you can go sooner if you want. Just keep an eye on your blood work and watch for unwanted sides. But do have some time off and let your system have a break.

A couple of guys I know follow this rule of thumb.....

They are on the majority of their stuff leading up to the show of course....then they taper down to a low dose of test (250mgs every 10 days) and will do that for a couple of months before rasing the dose back up again and adding one other compound. For them, this lets their body heal without completely crashing their systems. They do shrink up a bit but are able to recover much better. They never get too tricky with 10 different compounds either. Keep in mind these guys all compete on the national level with a goal of obtaining a pro card. You are never "off" when you do something like this either. Its a risk vs. reward scenario you have to think about. You need several months in most cases to restore your own test production and the longer you keep it surpressed, the more likely you are never going to produce it again.

To be honest, I think that 2 cycles of 10 weeks per year is more than enough for you to look good and stay healthy, if you plan to compete, that's another story...
As always, diet is the key.
