Who believes in tapering down dosages at the end of a cycle and who doesn't, and for what reasons?     | ||

I'm starting to believe that anything under a gram/week is unnecessary to taper. Why? Because with the proper use of clomid and other ancillary drugs you can avoid a crash. | ||

I agree with Hacker on that. A gram and up, then you taper a bit. | ||

People used to taper to avoid crashes but with the extensive use of such things as clomid, Hcg, proviron and others this is not neccessary do to your injection times and the half lifes of the particular AS it will self taper to the point where you can do the rest with the fore mentioned drugs ------------------ | ||

No taper. Period. Why taper with just gram and above? The steroids have a half life. So if you injected 1g of T-enanthate (half life around 5 days), after 15 days you will still (in theory) have 125mg "in your system." It seems to me that esterified steroids taper themselves. Also, it's important to note that even 100mg of test/week is still quite inhibitory to your natural T. If the goal is to recover as soon as possible, I dont recomend tapering for the same reason why guys suggest switching to prop towards the end of the cycle. That is, in order to make a speedy recovery, you want the drug to be "out of your system" asap so you can begin natural T production once again. Andy | ||

I used to taper, but after further research I never will again.

Dr. Zaius is on the money!! If you do your research you will find out tapering is just (gymrat lingo). NOT NECESSARY | ||

In my opinion you are wasting weeks of prime growth by either pyramiding or tapering. The whole point of AS is to induce supra-physiological levels of highly anabolic substances...so get them to those supra-physiological levels and keep them there for the whole time so they can do what they do best. With proper post cycle planning crashing should never occur. ------------------ | ||

"crashing" is a mental thing. if you're strong in the mind from the beginning you'll be fine. | ||

I too, do not feel the need to taper any substance. The typical view of tapering is flawed. It is far better to be on a substance at the peak level for the whole length of the cycle rather than coming up and down on minimal amounts which in turn equals less growth. Whatever level of natural test you had during your cycle you can use the clomid, hcg, and other medicines. That can be used to restore hormone levels, reduce or eradicate aromatization and some of the other sides associated with being on. Just my opinion though ------------------ [This message has been edited by The_Iron_Game (edited December 29, 2000).] | ||
