How long to wait between cycles

[chip108]

Can anybody tell me how long one should wait between steroid cycles to start a new cycle?
As soon as your cycle is over, and even with PCT, you will start to lose muscle mass especially if you were on a bulking cycle.
Regardless of how good your PCT is, your body cannot produce the amount of testosterone that the steroids do so you will start to lose muscle mass.

Generally time on = time off. But, you are right. After your PCT your body is not in near as favourable of a position to build muscle as it was on cycle because your hormones are lower. There is a solution however:

A much healthier option is to do as follows:
1. Run your cycle.
2. After your cycle run a good pct protocol such as the perfect PCT: http://www.evolutionary.org/the-perfect-post-cycle-therapy-pct/
3. After the PCT protocol, run a SARMS bridge - such as the SARMS triple stack: http://www.evolutionary.org/the-SARMS-triple-stack-protocol
4. After the triple stack, run a mini PCT. 4 weeks of the following:
clomid at 25mg/day
nolvadex at 20mg/day
HCGenerate ES at 5 capsules/day
n2guard at 3 capsules/day
5. Then wait 3-4 weeks, ideally get blood work done to make sure everything is in the normal range and start your next cycle.

With doing 1-5 you will continue growing off cycle and your natural testosterone production won't be suppressed. It is a healthier route all around.

You can get everything you need off sarms1.com, n2bm.com and ag-guys.com

it depends on person, I did long cycle last year and I had a big problem to recover I did PCT but still the sex drive was down for a few months.

people say time on = time off but based on my experience I would rash too soon.

Time on plus pct equals time off. For example, 12 week cycle plus 6 week pct means you should wait at least 18 weeks before next cycle. You can bridge with sarms in between though.

Thanks for your information, most helpful. My problem, due to my age, is my free testosterone level is a joke even when taken natural supplements, and Sarms. That's why I chose to use steroids. Even with a good PCT, my test level will be enough to maintain my gains which really sucks. I was thinking that after running a PCT cycle for 4 weeks I would then gets some blood work done and if everything looks good start back up on a another cycle. If by some luck my test levels return to a normal range then I wait another 4 to 6 weeks before starting up on another steroid cycle.

Before going on steroids, I went to an endocrinologist to determine why my free testosterone levels were so low and they were worthless. They didn't even attempt to figure out what was causing my problems. They only offered me a prescription for Cialis!

If your test is that low, definitely look for another doctor. Trt can be life changing for guys with low test. I would get bloods for sure a few weeks after pct to see where you are.

if you want to keep a healthy HPTA minimum time on= time off.

Usually, the golden thumb rule is cycle time + PCT = rest time. Hence, if you had a 10 week cycle with 6 weeks of PCT, you would need to take 16 weeks off.
