So I am 23 6 feet, 201, 8%, amateur bodybuilder. Have done one cycle. So I think the test taper idea is awesome and I am taking 2 years off before my next comp. to dramatically change my physique. I won 2 small local shows but am moving on to bigger ones and want to be ready. So i was wondering what you guys thought about a 6 month cycle followed by the stasis taper.
For example, 1-24 test e at 500mg a week, adex eod, 1-4 d-bol 30mg, and than 25-30 test e at 100mg, than 31-36 test e at 100mg, 80mg, 60mg, 40mg, 20mg, 20mg along with 50mg of clomid ed. Would I recover decently? Good Gains? How bad will my testicles atrophy?
Right now my off cycle diet is 20 x bodyweight in calories, 1.5 grams of protein per bodyweight, dorian yates style training. When I train on gear my I will eat 24 x bodyweight and a little bit more extra protein. Thanks a lot guys!
No one can tell you how you will recover. If you do go through with this, though, I would definitely use HCG on cycle as well as get bloodwork done before you start (and after you finish PCT, obviously.)
This I don’t have very much experience with, so take it with a grain of salt, but I’ve seen vets make comments like “if gains are still coming…” in regards to the difference between running test for 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks, etc. I would imagine gains would stop well before week 24. Kind of makes me wonder if you’d be better off running a high dosage test/deca/dbol cycle for 12 weeks and still make the gains you want.
Plus, after your ~6 month cycle, you’ll only have reached your bulking goal, and still won’t be in contest condition. I know you said you’re taking 2 years off from stepping on stage, but even with a “time on + PCT = time off” schedule, you’re looking at a long time before you could get back on again [which I would assume you would do] to cut.
All of that said, I personally don’t mean to discourage you, but you’re still very young and I would take every precaution to keep your HPTA functioning long term.
THAT said, if you’re going to do a 6 month cycle, I would save up and go balls to the walls and run BBB’s GH protocol. Search “HGH experiment” and you’ll see Cortes’ experience with it.
