Later I will discuss pharmacological answers to these very relevant questions, but for the moment, let us
start with the obvious.

A couple of simple tricks is the answer to this. Firstly, remember the body will clear out the receptor site at its own pace. It is not a long process by any means. However, you have to consider the whole picture.
The drug may stay in the bloodstream for a long time. In which case, even through the receptors are being cleared, fresh compound is filling up the sites. This is classic. You must plan your course from the start and look to be off when you mean to be off, NONE OF THIS “OH IM GONA PUSH MY CYCLE FURTHER CAUSE I CAN”. This means knowing the half-life of what you are taking and stopping in time.
For instance, if you are using Sustanon for an 8 week course, then take your last shot in week 4. Because Sustanon lasts a good 4 weeks in the system, all you have to do is change to shorter acting products in the latter weeks. Substances like Propionate only last for days and certain orals, hours. So, it is simple to
work yourself down.

This way you will not get massive build ups of overlapping products. Because, if you take too much, the first wave fills the receptor sites, the rest sits around then aromatizes, has all sorts of toxic implications and cost a lot of money! The first lesson is to keep doses relatively low and steady. This prevents
overlap. The second lesson is to use short courses with short courses with short rest periods. Receptor sites should be clear and ready to go in 3 week, 4 at the most. This is assuming that you do not have a
bloodstream full of long acting esters. Hence, I believe that the best regimes are one of the following:

*These are personal preferences

LONG COURSE

This would last 10 weeks in total. 4 weeks in the optimum dose, 3 weeks to come down and then 3 weeks on absolutely nothing. This means that at the end of week 7, everything is out of your system. Later, we will plan how you slot in the products that work best for you. If you like Sustanon, you have to stop taking it at week 3 to be sure it is out in time. So, you would use it at the start, but not at the end. This course structure is highly successful. After the first 4 weeks, the dose is then dropped over the next 3. Only short acting compounds are used finishing with a decreasing number of orals until it reaches 0.

MEDIUM COURSE

This course last for 8 weeks in total. This has only 3 weeks at full dose, followed by 2 weeks coming down and 3 weeks off. Otherwise, it is the same as the long coruse.

SHORT COURSE (MY FAVORITE!)

There can be no doubt that athletes have changed to short courses. It has become so prevalent that Paul Borresen has actually written an entire book on the subject called “the stack”, which for some
reason is hard as fuck to come by haha. The overwhelming data of short course strategies can not be overlooked. 30 day courses of moderately high dose seem to be the “guerilla warfare” tactics of performance enhancement. Get it, shoot it and get out before anyone notices. Before our bodies homeostatic processes correct for any imbalance. Short courses also all allow for short rest periods. 30 days on 20 days off. Dorian Yates was a big practitioner of this method.

“WHAT ABOUT LONGER REST PEROIDS?”

Every so often, you have a good clean out when the situation dictates, if you are going away or just want a break. For myself, longer than 3 weeks off does not seem productive I can comfortably go as long as 12, but do not derive any benefit from it. You will have to experiment a little for yourself, like anything.

“WHAT BOUT STAYING ON A LOT LONGER?”

Long courses are less effective overall than short ones, again please understand this is my personal preference. I know people that stay on for 6 months, but they find themselves in a trap that they can not get out of. They can’t come off because they lose everything they gained. We are trying to work with
our bodies not against or instead of them.

People that say in over simplifies what is happening have criticized the example and analogy that follows. I say that they are for the most part over complicating the issue. I will also say that if these critics could come up with a better but comprehensible model then I will gladly adopt it. Athletes and bodybuilders usually lack academic training, not all but most. But they make up for it with their desireto learn and understand, That’s why they have their cycle advisors and diet planners. All they need is an explanation that they can relate to. I believe that if you truly understand something that you can explain
it to anyone who wants to understand it.
