bridging - expert advise needed!

Here’s the situation. I’ll try and keep it short ;-)

My last bulking cycle ended in March. I hardly lost any muscle since then. I was planning my next cycle in September which would have given me a 5 months off period. I’m very slowly starting to loose some strength and mass now, so I was really eager to start again in September.

However, I have a surgery scheduled for midst November (can’t reschedule, so that’s out), which would fall right into my cycle. After careful investigation, I’m not to keen on being ‘on’ than, for various reasons.

I could start now which would mean I’d be off in November, but I’m not to keen on that either, because I have to work almost everyday in the summer time and because the heat is killing me more than enough already.

So what it comes down to, is that I can only start near the end of November, meaning I would be off for eights months. I don’t think I could handle that long a time without loosing some muscle.

So I need some kind of solution too bridge this period. Any recommendations? I just want to make sure that I stay where I am now, and still be there when the real cycle starts in November. No need for spectacular gains, actually no gains are really needed at all.

I was pondering. What would it do if I were to throw in a month of dbol in September? I could gain a little bit, which would be lost again by November, thus resulting in a zero-operation, meaning I could start my bulking cycle in November in the same state I am in now. Just an idea.

Tnx bro's.

LA has a nice thread post under the edge about bridging with slin.

Sorry, it is titled 'The Skinny on Insulin' by Tiny........

I would rather prefer an option without slin :s

I would honestly opt not to take anything. I don't believe in bridging with any AS because I think that your receptors never fully get cleaned IMO. I would wait till November where your receptors have had plenty of time to recover and will respond very well when you start back up.

gh and slin-great bridge

I agree w/chef....but not all of us can afford gh hahahheheh

Just a thought, you might want to post this in the natural transformation forum too. Rumor has it that there are some BBers who manage to make gains without the use of AS.

But since you did post here in the Dark Side, you seem like the perfect canidate to try out machine99's idea of a short but high dose IGF cycle. See his post.

Also what is your protein intake? Adding significant amounts of protein and food may allow you to keep/add muscle to what you have. Then you can go on a quick cutter (2-4 weeks) right before you do start to bulk again post surgery.

Too bad you want a non-slin solution. The creatine is a good idea if you aren't already using.

IGF, Slin and especially GH are hard to find for me and mainly... they caost a lot!!! I have already spent more than enough on my 'normal' cycles.

Where are you located? Slin is cheap, as in dirt cheap.

Let me also say I can understand yours or anyone's reluctance not to use slin (or anything else) they don't feel comfortable with.

In a very tiny country the Western Europe ;-) where customs are assholes when it comes to packages coming from ouside the European Union.

Also, I don't have much practical knowledge about using slin and surely not about IGF. I know what they are and how they work but that's about it. Is IGF also cheap? I know I know I shoudl visit the board more often and read more, but I am working so damn much, I am falling behind. I'm only home for 3 days in July, so you can imagine my spare hours go to sleeping, resting and training and not much else :s

hey stefke, you don't need to bridge. Bro, you've got 16 weeks to play with before your date with the knife. That's plenty of time to run a nice 6-7 week stack of test prop & dbol.

IGF is like $350-400 for 1mg, the idea I was talking about would only really require 1mg so it would only cost $400 or so and if you used slin it would be an extra $20-30, but no need to use slin if you don't want.

Sounds very nice indeed! How much would I take of those than? How much gains will it make me? The original plan for the bulking cycle I was gonna do was 600test+400EQ/week ,starting of with 4 weeks of dbol and finishing of with 4 weeks of tren 100mg/EOD.

Your original plan won't work because of the heavy esters. Just run 100-150mg EOD of the test prop (or whatever dosage you're comfortable doing) and 20mg of dbol daily for the entire 6-7 weeks.

I ran this stack earlier this year and LOVED IT! I gained close to 20 pounds in 6 weeks and was training 2x daily. By day 10, you'll be on top of the world, guaranteed. Recovery was also a breeze...easiest ever. Just took nolva @ 20 mg daily for 4-5 weeks, impregnated my wife just a few months later, so you know I recovered, lol.
