Hi there,

I’m hoping this email goes to Mick or someone knowledgable. I’m assuming it will. I got The Layman’s Guide Three and have really enjoyed it. I have some questions about cycles though. I’ve heard it recomended to do only 2 cycles per year.

What do you say? I feel comfortable with your advice because of the way yo say to not do OTT cycles like some do. I’m on Deca and Sustanon right now about 6 weeks in. I’m finally starting to see some results. Not as much as hoped, but some.

Anyway, just wondering how long I should wait once this is done to do another.

Thank you
JC.

Hey JC,

Each of us react differently to steroid therapy in our own way. Some can get by with one or two cycles whereas others need a cycle every 3 months to grow and maintain (alas many also have never tried to go it alone without the gear which is sad too).

My personal preference is that about 3 cycles a year is OK for me as and when I do use the gear but if I am gaining off cycle then I dont even bother until I feel I have hit a wall. It really does depend on many other factors that affect our lives to be honest.

My advice would be to aim for just 2 cycles and 3 at the outside and stay with that making sure you note all intake, diet and results for the year ahead.

Always remember this: It is not always the case that you HAVE to use the gear, it is not the be all and end all of training and if you view steroids as just another “tool” to assist or boost then you are not relying on it totally and never should.

Old and as repetitive as it may seem to hear and say that diet, training and rest are the most important factors for success it is STILL fact and should you establish these three factors first and foremost in your training life I can assure you that when you do decide to add gear the safety and benefits will be boosted to your advantage.

Train hard and be strong,
