How many cycles and why?

[justhav2p]

During all my research, I have seen and seen peeps that do multiple cycles after cycles. Do you guys have a size you want to accomplish and thats it or is the sky the limit? Or is it you train hard on cycle, then chill till you start losing it and jumpstart with a cycle? Or is it the feeling you get on a cycle like a super high like anyother drug and you just want more?

How many cycles have you done and how many more till you feel you have reached you have been dreaming?

You can never be big enough!!!!!

There's no high better than looking in the mirror at all the improvements you have made when you finish a cycle. The problem is that we are all our own worst critic. " Good enough" isn't in most of our vocabulary. Plus the chicks dig it.

Fuck I just finished a cycle, am in PCT and am already looking towards my next one even if it is a mild one after this last one. Depends on your goals, you can always blast and cruise for a long time to reach your goal, then take some time off to return to normal HPTA functioning, then hop back on if you want to bust through some more plateaus. Just know that you have to be smart and plan your cycles and support supps very well. I thought my PCT was solid, found out it was not and needed to get some help so I recover properly.

I get it, everytime I look in the mirror I know exactly what I need to look like and what I dont look like yet. I am just wondering because when I get to what I want now.......... I am afraid I will become my own hardest critique and want more and more. I guess if I am going to be addicted to something why not it be to fitness

oh and pot!

My ideal physique was about 5-10 lbs over my natural limit and I blew past that on my first cycle. My best looking weight may have been a bit smaller actually.

You have to be realistic with yourself and let yourself have fun from time to time so you can keep the addict happy and your wallet and body in good order. That is why I could see running a 2-3 cycles a year, depending on your goals being totally doable and allow you to reach your goals. Diet and dedication will allow you to maintain your goals, gear just gets you there faster and allows you to cheat some along the way.

I run 1-2 a year. It's better living through science...

This is my plan, 2 a year.

2 a year for me gives my body time to return to normal functions, plus you also want to plan and invest a lot of time and thought into a cycle once you start going up the ladder, you can't come down.

I just completed my first cycle in Feb. and my plan is to do 1 cycle at the end of every summer and just get as big as possible through the winter then start cutting in Feb-March in time for summer. It'll be a slow process but I think it's a safe plan

Everyone is different so the answers are going to be all over the place with this question.

Guys who stay on (TRT) seem to run more than guys who run PCT, for obvious reasons.

2 to 4..depending on length of cycle

I suffer from a condition known as Muscle Dysmorphia so I'll always keep striving to get bigger, leaner, stronger, more sculpted, etc.

 

[justhav2p]

very interesting guys. My original plan is 1 and done. I guess I just have to see what my results when I start one and go from there.

 

[boss]
