: : Gradually though your receptors start to downgrade or build up
: : a resistance to the testosterone. Therefore to get the same results
: : that you have been experiencing you either have to up the dosage or
: : stop your cycle and let your bodies systems come back to normal. That is
: : why bodybuilders cycle their drugs. If it was not for receptor downgrade
: : you could make the same great gains that you made during your first cycle
: : constantly year round. High dosages just seems to accelerate receptor downgrade
: : but it will gradually happen no matter what the dosage that you are using is.
: Actually, there have been a couple new studies down on steroids and they have figured
: out that receptor downgrade isn't actually true. if it were so, your body would have
: stopped accepted testosterone, estrogen and other steroids years ago. What they found
: was that your body gets all it can get and maintains itself with a certain amount of
: steroids that you continually get anything out of the steroid, you need to increase the
: dosage. Once your body maintains functions (immune, muscle, etc..) with that amount,
: it's time to increase the dosage again. They also found that these steroids are not
: as bad for your liver as they thought it was.
Does this mean that cycling is illogical and
not useful?
Be big and strong!
