do the pros ever, ever cycle off and go cold turkey?
« on: January 26, 2006, 02:16:33 PM »
i was always wondering this for those of you in the know who know whose who (pros, top amateur npc competitors) and who have themselves are now on the juice. i wonder do the pros and top national amatuer competitors ever cycle off their juice? how many times a year and for how long if so? when their off the juice, do they still take some kind of testosterone boosting supplements?

thanks for the replies!

i bet some take breaks vut the likely hood of that happening often is slim, i bet ALOT of them juice yr round and when they do actually take a break, they dont train or eat they way they should, i saw a pic of gunter and he obviouisly was taken a break and i bet he stopped training till he got back on.\

I know good ol JUMBO PALUMBO reccomends to take at least 2months completely OFF per year to let the body recover a little

i know kevin only juiced and trained as he was getting ready for a contest, otherwise, he took a complete break from the game. thats good for him as he looks real healthy still, as for palumbo, no so healthy looking, looks pretty weird to me, like a horror movie character. scary bros

Right after the Olympia, Ronnie takes a couple months off to clean out receptor sites and he doesn't train as much either.  He gets smaller and retains more bodyfat, but he's still very large.
