Title: HELP WITH YEAR AROUND CYCLE
Post by: tcctc on April 19, 2009, 08:56:51 AM
I have been on for a year today. I know most of you will not agree with that and tell me to start my pct. I agree it wasn't a good idea, because my gains have stopped. I feel I am just doing it to maintain the gains I did get. Is there any thing I can do to jump-start my gains other than coming off for while? I would like to make it through most of the summer before running a pct. Quality size and strength is what I am looking after.

What i am running now;

sust 1000mgs wk.

deca 600mgs wk.

winny/oral 50mgs ed.

What I have already tried
tren-a  tren-e
dbol
a-boms
test-e test-p test-susp.

Are you looking to compete, if not why are you running such high amounts?

cycle off, do pct, get some GH and run that to maintain, might work

I WAS GOING TO COMPETE BUT INJURIES KILLED THAT. MOST OF MY FRIENDS AT THE GUY SAY I AM IN CONTEST SHAPE RIGHT NOW BUT I DON'T FEEL THAT IS THE CASE. I AM ON SUCH HIGH AMOUNTS, BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO CONTINUE TO GAIN, BUT AS IT IS, I AM ONLY MAINTAINING MY GAINS, WHICH TO ME ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT THE LONGER YOU STAY ON THE LESS AFFECTIVE THE GEAR BECOMES. COULD SOME TELL ME WHAT A GOOD PCT WOULD BE FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN ON AS LONG AS I HAVE ?

If i was you i'd do a decent amount of hcg for a month and also 40 mg nolvadex for a month, i'd also look into hgh or ifg-1. That way you're HPTA could recover and you would keep a decent amount of what you have gained.

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE. I WILL DEFINITLY CONSIDER YOUR PCT. I NEVER INTENDED ON BEING ON THIS LONG. I JUST GOT CAUGHT-UP IN THE GAINS I WAS MAKING, NOW I SCREW MYSELF. I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE ANYONE THINKING OF RUNNING A YEAR LONG CYCLE NOT TO DO IT. YOU END-UP WITH BALLS THE SIZE OF GRAPES, AND YOU'LL JUST BE RUNNING GEAR TO MAINTAIN THE GAINS YOU DID GET. YOU WILL STOP GAINING AT SOME POINT, NO MATTER HOW MUCH GEAR YOU RUN. I LEARNED A LESSION FROM THIS, THE HARD WAY!

Post by: elite_lifter on April 24, 2009, 03:12:46 PM
thats not true at all. gear never stops working. im on for a year an 2 months right now, and i make progress every week, and been using the same doseage for the past 8 months, and used the same doseage for the first 6 months.

the main thing is that the bigger you get, the more you have to eat, just to maintain your size. to grow, its even more. and the harder you workout, the more you have to eat as well. your gear hasnt stopped workign, what most likely has happened as you have reached a level of muscle where now you need to increase your food intake to continue gaining.

remember, for every couple pounds you gain, add more food into your diet.


list your diet here and ill help you


(moderators i know you delete my posts but please allow this one to stay)
Agreed, calories and keep pushing.

Good calories always good calories, cups and cups of brown rice, eggs, eggs and more eggs, oatmeal, chicken, red meat, protein shakes, occasional cheat meal which doesn't mean eating ice cream. 3 to 4 K, train hard and sleep and you will grow like a weed.

up the test dosage to 1500 mgs and cut out the deca and orals, cruise on 1500 for a while and see how you react to it.  Nothing wrong with being on so long, its your life, you do what you want with it.

Thanks for the advice. I am kind of knew to the AAS. about 18 months. I wish I would have known about this board before I started my first cycle. It would have been much more productive. There is just a wealth of information here from people how know a whole lot more than I do. I don't post much because I am still learning, as you can tell by the post I do have. Tbombz, I haven't changed my diet one bit! never even thought about. It now makes perfect sense. I am 5'11'' 38 years old 210 lbs. body fat is 6.5%. I started this cycle at 167 lbs. once I reached that weight I stopped growing and getting stronger. I will change my diet. Thanks again. I learn something new everyday!!

If I stay on for a long time, I will cycle within the cycle.  Meaning for periods I will coast on 400mg test a week and for 16-20 week periods add in more stuff.  Periods where you take about 750-1000mg test, 600 mg EQ EW, 100mg oral winny ED.

tcctc: bro u have been on those doses for one year now???  I am on year round, but am on 200 mg of test per week along with hcg and anastrozole.  i do not lose muscle, in fact i gain very slowly while staying lean. i was 218 lbs back on thanksgiving 08 and am now 224lb. so im making slow but steady gains.  of course every body is different, but my test levels are through the roof, from what my blood tests show, and that is at 200 mgs per week of test cyp.  i would recommend doing 400 mgs of tes per week, and using 500 ius of hcg every 5 days.  do that for a while, keep training hard, and keep your protein high. u should do fine.

Yeah, I have been on a high dose of test for along time. I will cut back and start to run hcg (which I have on hand) at the does you suggested. It's funny, because no matter what gear I do (Bulking or cutting) my gains a all lean. I would not mind a little bulk. As the saying goes; " You can't always get what you want. " I am never satisfied with what I have. I guess that is a good thing, because if I were, I wouldn't work as hard.

No at that dose of test the amount of aromatase seems OK.  In fact I feel best when cruising, best libido, no BPH, sleep better.  ETC.

you can get in good shape without running any AI or anti e when you on, just adjust your diet and up your cardio and you good, unless you want to get into contest condition shape, I see no reason for the AI's.

dude, try dieting without an ai. the results will be much better. fat loss at the same rate, more muscle retention(maybe muscle growth), and less appetite.

I have and as I said feel best on lower doses of juice with nothing else, no AI's, no clen.  Recently during gaining time used test at 500-600mg EW and 50mg anadrol ED, felt great but will say my nips started getting sensitive and started to get a bit "booby" with hard lumps I could feel.  I started the AI at a low dose and that was gone in a couple weeks.  So I use it when prepping for shows and I have one this September and when I think my "breasts" are getting too big.  I also feel that having a relatively high bodyfat can make gyno come stronger.

I never had much problems with gyno but it is very real.  This excellent Hvy weight BB at the last show I did for sure would have been a top 3 contender but his bad case of gyno had him pushed him back to 5th.  Strange seeing that on an otherwise ripped dude.

Even if you testicals register 0 on a blood test,
200mg a cyp a week should take you to above normal
test levels, and give you're nuts a chance to
catch up.  Give that a shot.  This PCT is is BS.
I take perscribed test at 200mg a week, and lost nothing.
I did all the pct and got nothing, except depression.

get gyno removed if you are serious about bbing, just get it and have it taken out by good doc and you are set.

Would you two mind explaining this in more detail?  You're saying that you bridge with 200mg EW and your nut still come back?   Does it take longer?  Do you take any HCG, Clomid, Nolva, etc. during or after your bridge?

Just curious because:

   (a) I would love to use this method if works;
   (b) I'm pretty sure that 200mg of Test per week would shut me down (or keep me that way due to negative feedback); and
   (c) While it's good to take breaks every once in while, I've always thought that cycling 'on' and 'off' is not particularly healthy. IMO, a 200mg   
        bridge with no other drugs would suffice in letting your body relax for a while.

Yes it will.  Thing is taking 200mg EW is not comming off, you are still on.  Its not a method its basically just staying on all the time.  But yes the low dose will let your body "relax" some.  If you feel you want to get your natural system going again, this will not do it.  But if your not ready to take a good lengthy break between cycles, then this bridging should help you continue to make good gains.

I totally agree, but he makes it sound like you can reduce to 200mg and your balls will catch up, meaning come back.  Did I read it wrong?

on 200mg of test ew you will remaim shut down, your balls will not catch up. As luv stated your still on. The best thing you could do for your balls is use HCG while on. Even when only on a replacement dose. HCG or a similar drug is the only to stop testicular atrophy.

I just want to thank all who replied to this question. I got more good information than I hope too. Now I understand why my gains stopped and what I can do about a pct, and how to use hcg while on to get my nuts back to normal size or at least somewhat normal size. shit, I didn't even know you could use hcg while still on!! It sucks to be a novices , but it would suck even more if didn't have people to help me. I would be lost without GETBIG!!

Than try 100mg per week, that also is a perscribed dosage... Just come off slow, and maintain 100mg per week, and if you want to get off, go down to 50 mg a week.  But 200mg a week will not kill ya, thats what they give 70yr old men, and people like myself with natually low test (209 from 249-900 something being normal)

Just thought I would update this post regarding my year around cycle. I took the advise that was given to me and what a change! I was running a ton of gear and wasn't making any gains. I added more protein (1 more gram per pound of body weight) to my protein intake added more clean food and cut my doses of test and tren by 1/2. I also stopped the deca completely.  I am now making gains once again. thank you to all who contributed to my post. I would have never thought of these things on my own.

there is no garuntee if you use year round that you will be able to have kids in future, but if you do really care about that, i would say use hcg, i have no idea though how you would use it like you are asking.

If you are really concerned about kids and plan to use non stop for a long period of time you should use HMG and HCG during cycle.  From what I understand, HMG will do more for your ability to generate sperm than anything else.  It's not that expensive if you get it overseas. 

If I know you well on this board, you can PM me and I will point you to a pharmacy that sells it.

I would imagine if they are your own flesh and blood you would be more tolerant and accepting.  I was in a relationship with a woman who had 2 young (2-5 YO) boys from a previous marriage and they were complete nightmares, made me never wanna come off gear again.
