Number of cycles per year.

[Ironwilliam]

How many cycles a year do you run ? I'm just finishing my second cycle ever , first was last summer I plan on staying off for the winter and going back on around June

 

[PillarofBalance]

Well it will vary depending on lengths of the cycles. The recommended time on plus pct = time off. I think those are somewhat arbitrary and quite simply made up. Blood work is how you determine recovery.

So say you run 12 week cycles of test cyp

12 weeks on + 2 weeks waiting + 4 weeks PCT = 18 weeks on

18 weeks off

You now have 16 weeks left in the year.

Another 12 weeks on plus 2 weeks waiting and 4 weeks pct puts you into the next year.

I don't think anyone is following the broscience rules :/

Really I would say this question would be age and goal dependent to be answered accurately.

I run one cycle a year it's just really long

haha Biggie....made me laugh on this one.

I'm willing to bet most guys on here cruise and blast....some adding slin, gh etc along the way for months at a time.

For me, this year will be 2. 11-12 weeks off in between....it's a risk but PCT was a better option than staying on because I want to have kids in the next year or two.

 

[ValeTudo8080]

Yes...just one cycle per year here also...but i am in the late 30's and didnt start until 5 years ago when my natural levels started to decline....so i have no problem staying on all year.

I'd say it will vary according to which compounds you run and what sides you get from them. Some people recover very quickly from some compounds where as others may take quite some time to get bloods back in range

 

[Determined]

I cruise and blast... But each to their own. Bloodwork is always what determines if you need a break or not.

 

[Get Some]

1-3 a year seems "typical"... Until 80% of the guys here run just one PCT and are like "**** that bullshit!!!" Hahahaha. Nothing wrong with blasting and cruising. I would imagine I could count on one hand the number if people here that have consecutively cycled on/off with bloodwork confirmations for more than 2 years. Actually there's a pretty good chance that hand would look more like a fist

 

[gunslinger]

One or two per year, depending on how I feel and cycle length. 12-14 weeks most of the time. This last time took me for ever to fully recover though so I decided to take a few more months off.

 

[Bigwhite]

One...Eight months long...Different compounds of course.....
