Hi,

This is probably a stupid question, but we are here to learn right. Is it common to take something in between cycles?

I mean it can be quite long time sometimes between cycles 1-4 months so I'm wondering if it's typical to take for example dbol for couple weeks somewhere in between? How I'm thinking is that running dbol alone would possibly reduce muscle losing during offcycle and if ran for only few weeks wouldn't mess up own testo production? Any sense? Maybe something else than dbol?

If you are gonna keep taking steroids then you ain't coming off are you?

Taking anabolics after your cycle ends just means your cycle never ended. The old guys used to "bridge" like this but it really was useless.

POB is right on; you're just extending the cycle. AAS use is no different then diet or training; once you stop, you will in time return to your former self. Lost gains are hard to accept but part of the game.

It's hard to say how life turns out which is why I'm not super eager to go on a lifelong cycle, I've heard own production doesn't really recover from that if circumstances change and you want to drop gear?

What would you suggest is my best approach here? 16 week on and off and just try to eat and train well also when off to get the most out of it?

pct is never a gaurantee your natty test levels will come back. Food for thought...

You answered your own question here. Cycle, off, cycle. If you choose to use AAS you need to be prepared for the reality of things.

On or off you should always be eating and training right.

Okay so as a conclusion if I start lifelong test, is there many things to consider in comparison to normal cycle? I've done 5 cycles in past with test and dbol and I've been quite happy with results with 500-750mg test weekly

Be more specific with your question and research on the trt section

I was planning to start lifelong test-e

Week 1: 2x50mg, total 100mg
Week 2: 2x100mg, total 200mg
Week 3: 2x150mg, total 300mg
Week 4: 2x200mg, total 400mg
Week 5 and ->: 2x250mg, total 500mg

Week 3 and ->: 0.5mg Adex twice a week

I might increase test-e to 750mg eventually. Any thoughts?

no sense in tapering up. Just start at 250 twice/week, run that for 16 weeks and think about 750/week for a future cycle

It's amazing what some guys can get away with. I know guys who cruise at 500 along with other compounds and have been for years. They tell me that their bloodwork and blood pressure is fine but it sure seems unlikely.

Just seems like a bad idea for longevity.
