ya dude you don't have to keep using it every time. I am re-trying tren with the Transdermals right now....because i originally had said I will never go back to it. I hated how much my blood pressure would fluctuate and the sides, along with how much more difficult recovery was on it. But i am back on it after about 2 years not taking it and loving it. It def doesnt hurt to try it once because it will probably be your best cycle to date, but I do think there are ways to cycle afterwards to avoid it.
like what steve is saying, i do like to run a more relaxing cycle and let my hard work produce results rather than let the drugs do it all for me. But with that said, it definitely is unrivaled in the body composition changes it creates.
I think you can definitely have great deca/NPP cycles afterwards and love those. I hate EQ but it is another one that sticks out. I find that each steroid does something differnet to me, and you just have to change your goals accordingly. I am not talking the basic cutting/bulking goals....more specific things. Like vascularity, muscle shape, muscle striations, hardness, specific lifting/workout changes, etc. it is obviously good to have the overall bulk/cut goal in a cycle....but to me, going after a bunch of small little goals within the cycle is another must. so just change up your goals based on your cycles and what you know about the AAS you will use in the future. I always wanted to try every single one (of the major steroids)....I have pretty much gotten there besides a few like halo, superdrol, NPP, tren hex, etc. The compounds i have come back to for more than one cycle are: winstrol, anavar, anadrol, tren, deca, EQ, and test.
