Let's say you do an 8 week cycle. Take one week off before you start and go a solid 10 weeks training while on. The last two weeks you may still have a large amount of gear in your system and it would be smart to utilize it. After week 10 take another week off.  | ||

take at least a week to two, coz the body's gonna go catabolic, so eat like hell and rest for a while, you should save more gains that way. | ||

I would take 1 week off. Change you training up to lower weights and less reps. Have a mind set on maintaining and not to make gains. Feel your body out. Take it slow, your body will thank you! ------------------ "Catch a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime." | ||

IN my opinion one of the biggest mistakes you can make when going off the gear is to change your program especially take a week off. The weeks following the end of your cycle are crucial to whether or not you maintain any of your hard earned mass. I always consider the month after I finish my gear as part of the cycle then if I need it I take the rest. I believe that a lot of the losses that steriod users incure have to do with a lax in training following a cycle. Granted due to the water rententive properties of alot of gear you will loose some enitial weight. just my though | ||
