where to go from here??

[debo22]

I'm 8 months into a cycle that is planned to end begining start of october. i sit at 6'1" 238 at 9-10%. made some serious lean muscle gains from last year.

right now i am crusing along on 750-500 test E and no orals or peptides. my goal is to compete next summer. my question is should i come off in october or should i just cruise if i plan on coming back on in 10-12 weeks? Also would it benefit me to cut my fat into the single digits before i start my winter bulk?

You're EIGHT months into a cycle??????

Get off now! What is the reason for being on for 2/3 of a year. How much research have you done on cycle lengths and stacks? Have you had your blood work done recently? If not I would suggest an appointment TODAY. You will grow better if you don't live on gear.

Get some blood work done first, then decide. If everything checks out, you could cut your test down to 250mgs a week.That should maintain the gains you've put on if you just don't want to come off totally.

Dusty,

Couldn't have said it better! Where do people get ideas like that of being "on" for 8 months? Insanity!

How so?

Ok, its been years since I've studied the effects of steroids but heres the best description I can put together right now.

Basically in your body you have steroid receptors, these receptors take the free available testosterone from the bloodstream and put it to use increasing protein synthesis, accelerating fat loss, etc. You have different types, which is why most BB'ers stack different steroids so they can make use of all of these receptors. After a while, these receptors become overworked and work increasingly less effectively. This is the reason you cycle on/off, to let your body and those receptors regenerate. What you're doing now is like driving a car with flat tires, yea, you're moving, but in the long run you'd get a LOT farther by taking the time pulling off the highway and getting fresh ones. Stop now, do some serious PCT, rest for 8 weeks and start another cycle.

what makes you think i don't get bloodwork? i am due for more though........i have done plenty of research and have come across conflicting views. some say to yo, yo your endo system is worse than just staying on. i admit i am guilty of staying on a little too long but geez......half of the guys posting here are on ALL the time or have done or do long cycles.

i am just trying to get some opinions and appreciate them all! i need to run hcg for a few weeks and let the gear clear and will most likely stick to my plan of coming off in october. my pct will be nolva, tribulus,retain, igf lr3 and a very low dose of gh. Any suggestions on a better way to rebound?
