First, I like the idea of two off/two on better myself.
Regarding 6 on/2 off, I wrote this for my other board:
The Bigger Picture-Hawks Thoughts on Burst Cycling for Mass
So, here is my current philosophy on my long term strategy of training, nutrition and AAS for the next 12 months. I am no guru and this could be way off, but so far it is the best I can make of it all and works for my budget and level of experience and commitment. I am going to make some general statements, give some explanation and how I apply it all, so hopefully it makes sense.
Training: If you subscribe to the dual factor theory as I do as well as Westside, Dave Tate, Rippetoe etc...Than you will realize that wt. training has a cumulative effect which requires a deloading phase to allow for super compensation.
AAS: We all know that the best gains from any cycle come at the middle(long esters) and/or beginning with short esters. The reason is that you have fresh AR receptors and frankly your body has not adapted to the exogenous hormones like they would at the end of a 12 week cycle. My thinking here is that 2 six week cycles trump one 12 week cycle.
Insulin: Well we all know you can desensitize whether for exogenous or your bodies own, so taking a break once and a while will reap long term benefits.
Peptides: from my understanding you can run peptides continuously with no ill effect.
Nutrition: I am a big believer in carb cycling and am convinced now more than ever that for me staying lean is critical. The benefits of gaining mass and having a system that is sensitive to insulin is understood by anyone has has reached single digit bodyfat and then proceeded to eat again...you get huge quick. With that being said, I suck at daily carb cycling if nothing is on the line, so I do weekly.
Putting it all together. The thing that all the above have in common is that there needs to be an "off" period to maximize long term benefits. At the same time I suspect that the time on and off would differ for each of the above and I simply do not have the understanding or will to pursue such madness.
Enter the Burst Cycle: If you followed my log over in the Tan Research Thread you will have read some about this. The short version is that for 6 weeks you train hard, eat like an animal, pin everything in sight and use slin to help keep the train moving. That is followed by a 2 week off period when you deload, eat clean, add fat burners,and drop long esters (self tapering...Bilters Term). After the two weeks you should have dried out, lost a pound or two and be both physically and mentally recovered, plus primed for another 6 week Burst!
I have more to say but that is enough hot air for now.
Feel free to comment or criticize.

My main concern is that after 6 weeks on, you cannot recover in 2 weeks. Which you would be shut down the whole time and if you are doing this for an extended period of time you might as well just be on the whole time. This would recommend using HCG to keep the boys running..
(if you cant tell - my ways of doing things are on the safe side - i do want kids someday and not looking to get on HRT TRT by 40 - not that i have been running cycles my whole life but you get the point lol)
