A lot of people say that after the first cycle, every cycle thereafter must be larger than the one previous to it to have the same effectiveness. Lets say testosterone for example. If I do a cycle of sus for 8 weeks and then take 4 to 5 months off and hit it again in the same doses, will the sus be less effective the second time? I'm not talking about weight gain, but just the overall effectiveness of the drugs. It would seem that after a few months of off time, your body would respond just the same as if it had never been exposed to extra testosterone before. Test is a naturally occuring hormone and it wouldn't make sense for your body to become "used" to having it. The receptors would have had enough time to come clean and renew themselves. Is there some sort of physical memory of increased test that remains after every cycle (which wouldn't make much sense)? The other drugs Im not sure of, but it would seem one would never get used to having too much test (unless of course they never took time off). IP: Logged |

That is partially true...The first time you do a REAL cycle will probably be your most effective..Not just because your body gets used to it, but because it is such a shock for your body. But there is a point of diminishing returns you can't just add more each cycle and expect to see more and more results every time. You must mix and match to hit different receptors.. Sometimes adding more won't help at all, your body will simply disregard the hormones or change tham to estrogens to even out your test levels... Your second cycle you will probably want to increase a little but toy with your body and don't go to outrageous lengths just until you have perfected every other aspect of your training..Including Diet, training, cardio, etc....you will make much better gains focusing on those points then just how many CC's your injecting...

Good point corn fed...Your first cycle will be your best. Remeber that 90% of bodybuilding is what you do for the 23hrs a day you are not in the gym. IP: Logged |

Of course the returns diminish with each cycle. Otherwise, we would all be 400 pound gorillas - if we got 25 out of each cycle and I have done this 20 years, hmmm.... I have no idea why the body adapts like this. Maybe one of the smart brothers like macro or wcp can explain it to us, but I know from experience that after long term use, with mature mass, I am happy to get a few QUALITY pounds each go around. You are a night owl, gearface. Whats up with the spoon? IP: Logged |
