About on average, how many cycles a year?

[Izzman]

Just as the topic post says, about how many cycles a year on average do most of you run? I'm just curious as I have done about 2 real cycles, currently on my third (fina/npp/anavar 600mg total for 6 weeks, gained about 15lbs, now wrapping up) and this all has been within the past two years. I'm thinking of just keeping cycles nice and short from now on, like 6-8 weeks at a time since I can't seem to gain past 6 weeks in the two bulkers I have run. I think I will keep juicing till I reach my desired weight of 240-250 (currently 6', 221 @ about 13-14 %). So what about you guys? Any desired weight goals or will you just keep juicing indefinitely?

1 cycle lasts all year



for now im just kidding as soon as i have kids this will be the case

time on time off same, so 12 weeks on 12 off, maybe 14 if the gains are still comin. until i hit my goal.

Just finished my very first time, I have had an awesome based before I started the juice, so I'm planning to hit 1) Bulker(winter) and 1) Cutter(summer) till I reach my goal. I personally think 2 cycles a year like that, plus blood work before and after cycles is healthy!! not abusing the product!! my .02 cents

I started my frist cycle last July, and just finished another cycle and will start my next on in July again.. So about 2 per year

2 cycles per year are really enough

Bump for more opinions.

Time on=time off. So a maximimum of 6 months on per year. Ultimately, it's up to you. Everybody has different opinions, so there's absolutely no need to ask us since there is no specific amount of time you should be on gear each year.

Two a tear should be plenty

for me personally, I will stick to two cycles a year I believe. both about 10-12 weeks in length.

i personally feel that bloodwork is a good indicator of just how much juice the body can get by with and still be fine. mine is normal now, but I did have an interesting 2004 which included a 30 week cycle (which I will never do again and don't reccomend). my cholesterol and bloodpressure weren't to kind while on it and coming off. now after being off of that for 20 weeks, my values are pretty much back to normal. wow, I went a bit off topic there. hahaha.

anyways, i'd like your current cycle alot. 16 pounds in 6 weeks is quite a bit. I have done the fina/npp combination before, and I loved it. there is something almost magical about the way those two drugs stack isn't there? Maybe because of some sort of progesterone mechanism or something? Or just plain and simple synergy. I think 6-8 week cycles can be terrific because it isn't usually long enough to have any changes in bloodword values (except maybe HDL suppression, but that will bounce back quickly once off).

Sup orb? Long time eh? I think time on = time off is a good rule of thumb to follow in your situation (being that you gain best in the first 6 weeks). So that averages out to 3-4 cycles per year. Only downside I can see is that you are gonna have to spend a few extra bucks on PCT meds because you will be running a PCT quite often. But then again you may not need as much so it could all balance out.

As for myself, I will juice until I reach my desired goals (which I do believe falls just above my genetic limit), so I will probably run a 10 weeker maybe twice per year to keep whatever I have at that point. No need for high doses either 500-800mg/week. After I have children and my natural test levels decay with age, it will be doctor prescribed HRT and an occasional light anabolic cycle (deca/eq/var/primo ~~ 300-500mg/week).

So I guess in a way I am planning on juicing indefinetly, however, I still am paranoid about my health and take quite a bit of time off and run supplements/training/diet regimes to ensure I am around till I am old and frail LoL.

Hey Orbyls! Yeah, I really don't mind, its actually saving alot more considering the time you cut your cycles short to prevent further wasting gear and essential recovery time which could require more PCT ancillary use, so yeah it all balances out. I think keeping cycles nice and short gives you sweet gains in such a short time span that you can come off and recover much easier so this done year round will give you more net muscle than 2-3 longer cycles a year and much less lag time in between as well as health issues to recover from, think about it. Damn man, I don't know if I wan't to keep jucing that long myself, the thought of it alone is scary, considering all the potential health complications that could pop up later on even with proper supps and etc, one can never be too safe. I'd also like to be around till I am old and frail, but I don't want my body struggling internally just to get me there.

I usually run around 3 a year at 10 weeks each with approx 2 months off between cycles . This last time I took about a 8 month lag time .off due to family and buisness issues . Just started 3 weeks ago with test cyp and d-bol . Yesterday switched to deca and d-bol for another few weeks then after that it will be 750mg a week of sus250 and 50mg of d-bol with the last couple weeks of cycle with winny at 50mg 5 days a week. This is my 8th cycle and through time have learned this the best for gains for myself . Probably not good on my liver or nuts , but , give a little to gain a little . Gotta thank god for milk thistle , nolvadex and clomid . lol , oh yea and plenty of ambien for sleep and ibuprophen for head aches .

2 cycles sounds right...
