Clyde, I knew you'd read this. :)
The Cyclone cycle is great,but there are drawbacks. I understand that the rationale behind switching from androgens to anabolics and back etc, during each subsequent 2 week cycle is so that one can saturate a slightly different set of receptors each time. That is because androgens and anabolics attatch slightly differently to steroid receptors in skeletal muscle. Kind of like a farmer that allows a part of his land to lay fallow while using the other one, this allows the receptor sites to upregulate, even when you're not on the stuff, further amplifying the results of the 3 week off period, and prolonging the results further.
However, if you think about it, there is only ONE type of androgen receptor in the body. How different can the set of receptors be? Especially in dosages in the range of 2000 mgs, you are basically saturating ALL the receptors, androgen or anabolic or whatever. Therefore, switching between androgens and anabolics, I speculate, will only give the user a SLIGHT additional benefit. The results will only be marginally better than that of one where you use all androgens or all anabolics, at least in my book.
Now, here comes the interesting part. In my area, I have calculated that to push the mg dosage to 2000 mg with androgens, I will need to spend about 80 dollars a week for the 2 weeks. To do the same thing with anabolics, I'd need at least 250 bucks a week! And thats with the cheap stuff where I have to shhot 57 ccs/week! I am willing to grow a little bit slower, say, 47 pounds instead of 50 pounds, and save 170 bucks a week (THATS EVERY WEEK!). Also, I'd rather spend more time trying to get laid (which I need to) than to spend my whole life trying to fine surface area to shoot 57 ccs in my body ( which I DON'T need).
So, the decision has been made, Asia the Invincible will stick to the Androgens!
