You're taking it out of context. That's in regard to using gear as a supplement to natural training and avoiding HPTA supression. And I believe it was a quote from the 1998 article "Steroids or Health."
Also, PCT progressed considerable in the last few years. (Based on some of the research stated in my books).
What's your question?
1) Maybe I've taken it out of context -- but I'd like for you to show me how or where I did so? I just went and re-read that section. I don't see any mention of "Gear".
2) Here is the section that I am referring to:
Rule No. 4: All cycles should be no longer than 3 weeks in length. This goes against conventional thinking but it makes perfect sense. The greatest gains come when the receptors are fresh. Why not make the most of this precious "window of opportunity?" Then get out and get clean. Naturally, gains won't be massive due to the abbreviated cycle length, but remember, smaller gains are much easier to maintain. It doesn't matter if you put on 30 pounds if you lose 20 of them. (In fact, if you put on that much, chances are you'll lose the last 10 as well because you'll be in such a catabolic state once you come off and "crash.") But a gain of 6-7 pounds in three weeks -- that, the body can handle. Also, the shorter the cycle, the quicker the endocrine system can normalize.
After that, you go to Rule 5. I don't see any other way to take this.
3) So, the question is: Is Rule #4 outdated? Is it still relevant? Should I stick to a 3 week cycle or 4 or more?
