10 weeks between cycles?

All right, I took my last shot of my first cycle (12 weeks of test e, deca, dbol) about 9 weeks ago---right now, I'm 2 weeks post clomid.

Cycle #2 (10 weeks of sust, deca, dbol) is calling me from the closet and I wanna start it NOW! This is partly because I have exactly 4 months until a Spring trip and if I start now, I'll be finished in just enough time and looking good.

What problems will I create if I run it now? And I know it's recommended to take as much time off as time on (including clomid therapy) but that's too long! Anyone run their cycles this close together and had major problems?

I have never run close cycles together....however...I think if u take about 4-6 weeks off will be suffiecent, if it's up to me...I will be taking 4 weeks...off....and then jumping back in....I have heard it's good to get back on!!!

IMO it's best to let your receptors clean out completely and let your natural Test production run for for a while before going back on. If make a habit of running your cycles too close together, your gains will become less and less and you will need more and more AS to meet your goals. Not a good idea IMO.

Take 4 weeks off and thats including your clomid therpy. It's good to take off a good 10 weeks but 4 weeks is good enough

i have always tried to take 8-10 wks off and have seem to keep the gains i made in between the cyles.So don't start bac to early because like Good Guy stated you end up needing more to gain anything

i have been taking 8 off but i am thinking of competing this year so i may take off 6 after my bulk cycle then go straight into cutting. dont want to lose any mass between the 2

pack it on cut it up

So let me get that straight...4 weeks off after clomid therapy? For me, that would be 11 weeks from the last shot of cycle #1 to the first shot of cycle #2.

From reading his post, I got the impression he was talking about 4 weeks including the time on clomid. but that would put you really close on your next cycle. It is hard to wait (I want to go back on right away) but it is important to do it right so as not to waste the gear and time/effort.

Bro, I'm in the exact same boat, I cant wait to get back on, ............. but I'm waiting. Equal time on Equal time off. You gotta do it. You need to let your body rest. That is a big mistake too many guys make with gear. I'm taking 3 full months off. I'm currently 2 weeks out on clomid too. I'm not gonna hit it again until March. Do yourself a favor and wait.
good luck bro.... do the right thing for your body!

The way I would do it is wait till your done w/your clomid therapy and then count the weeks from that day...I usually wait equal time after my clomid....except this time I started a week early, and damnit I have a cold to start things off oh great!!

4 weeks off including your clomid. So if you take clomid for 2 weeks then you would have 2 more weeks to go. That is enough time trust. It is good to take more time but I just took 4 weeks off and started and made some good gains.

We've got some very different opinions here. My source pretty much told me the same thing you said mbstrong. But, I reconsidered after realizing that I will show up for my spring trip bloated with acne and pale as a ghost. (I won't be able to tan because I'll be on doxycycline for the acne.) So, I'm going to cut now, and wait until after April to start up cycle #2, when my BF is down to 6-7% and my receptors are ready.

Pump, did you ever tan with doxycycline? I heard the only thing it will do is dry you out more. I usually take ampicllin and I'm not suppost to tan either but I do. I think it drys you out more that's it. Let me know if there is some other side.

this time i think i am going to cut my oils out keep running winny tabs until 2 days before i start my clomid. The chart says 8-12 hours after last dose. What do u think about running the tren along with the winny up until time to start clomid??

Cut the Tren out 3 days before Clomid. Yes I think it is a very good idea to run fast acting drugs on the back sides of cycles to cut down on the waiting period between your actual cycle and your clomid.

All your questions do not have cut and dry answers. First off your last cycle contained Deca. Nandrolone Decanoate is one of the longest acting and most HPTA suppressive AAS’s. The metabolites of Nandrolone can be detected in your body for up to 18 moths and it usually take almost 3 weeks to clear from your last shot. When you couple that with a 12 week cycle duration the chance is that you might need a longer recovery.

How long should you wait? Until your natural test levels return close to normal is the standard answer. For most I would say in the 6-8 week range is plenty. If your cycle duration was 8 weeks and you used faster acting less suppressive drugs you may get away with 4 like MBStrong stated.

This whole theory of your receptors needing to “clean out” isn’t exactly a proven fact. I have no idea where it started but it doesn’t make much sense. Think about it. HRT wouldn’t work over long periods if this were the case. I think we tend to build up a tolerance to certain drugs so it’s probably a good idea not to run the same components in back to back cycles.

The other factors that figure into your “off” time decision are your age and goals. If your goal is to turn pro than look at what most guys do to get there and it ain’t “time on”= “time off”. If you are using drugs to push past your genetic potential than you are probably not going to hold onto that mass with long off times. On the flip side if you are in your early 20’s and you are still building a base chances are that maintaining good health and keeping your natural test production up should be a priority. The only one that can answer that question is you.
