What's the longest you've stayed "ON"?

[Repmeister]

I'm asking from the standpoint of blast - cruise - blasting. What is the longest you have been on without pct. Was pct and recovery more difficult following extended "ON" times versus regular 10- or 12-week cycles? I have read some posts on here and other boards where it seems like some guys are always on. Is that realistic/safe? The reason I ask is because I'm planning to turn my current cycle into a blast cruise blast that would likely run a total of about 32 to 35 weeks depending on what dosage i use for the cruise (200 or 250 - any recommendations here?) The two blasts will be 600 Test E + 400 EQ per week for 10 weeks each. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'll let you know when I come off what the longest is that I've stayed on lol

[gsxr750]

I don't know if you count it as on but i've been on 125mg Test-E 2x a week so far about 6 months.

[pinhead]

About 6 months.

[ezturbo]

26 weeks to date. Coming off for pct. Then have a heavy bulker of dbol and profina when the last day of pct is over. Yep.

I get tired of these regularly-appearing threads. They just encourage young experimenters to stay on (calling it blast-cruising is still staying on) beyond what is safe for long-term health. Those of you who refuse to return to your natural self should not be so proud of your recklessness and you should not encourage youngsters to emulate you. Cycling is safest and is best.

Oh, by the way, I've just begun to run cycles between which I'll be "cruising" on AndroGel® probably the rest of my life:o. But, jeez, guys, I'm nearly 60 years old; I've earned it!

I've learned one thing. People make choices about what they do, nothing you, me, or celine dion can do about that. I'm not going to tread on glass and watch my tounge for what choices I've made. People are idiots with or without Internet posts.

I was on for a year..I only stayed on for that long because I had too many tramatic things happen in that year being most of 2008 and it was the worst year of my life..I didnt want all that stress and emotional bullshit effecting me while coming off..so I decided to stay on untill things got better and I was more relaxed..

Well said Solo, on is on period...blast-cruise call it what you like its still on. Alot of guys wont go off because they have no base and shrink down to nothing...not to mention their PCT sucks and they lose all their gains...so they pretend all is groovy and just stay on. The problem is later in life they will pay the price and bythat time its too late.

this was a joke by the way - because we've seen too many of these types of threads as already stated!

Androgel is WAY overpriced for the product. Not worth it considering annual cost for Delatestryl is like 4-6 weeks of androgel.

[deleteduser0001]

12 weeks? I stopped because I was tired of the small but annoying sides; BP, non-stop labido and relative lack of new growth.

[varking]

20 weeks is my max. I get sick of the injections after about 15 weeks

[Repmeister]

thanks for the responses. Got off to a good start but started to deteriorate. I understand what the concerns are but I am no kid but compared to Solo maybe I am at 44. I know on is on - fully understand that. For those who say they lose very little after their cycle I would like to see photos. This is my second injectable cycle and did everything right during first cycle. Kept it simple with 600 mg of Test E only for 12 weeks. Made great gains - about 27 lbs - with very little sides. Went on PCT consisting of Torem for four weeks. Did great during PCT even continued to get stronger. But, post PCT is where it all fell apart. Week after week, month after month my desire to train lagged; old injuring, which i Hadn't felt the whole time on, began to nag again affecting workouts. I watched my strength decrease and a lot of the hard earned muscle too.

I have always trained naturally and didn't even start experimenting with AAS until about four years ago. So, in all fairness, I think I have earned it too. I am just looking for some advice and I know that extended cycles is nothing new. Part of my original question was whether coming off is proportionally harder. My intent is to get up a few more rungs on the ladder so that I don't come down as many afterward. At my age gaining and keeping muscle is a daily struggle, especially with my work schedule.

So I guess what I am saying is that I'm no kid and I think I've paid my dues. I train hard, have a reasonable diet and want the rewards of my efforts. I know most of you will get that.

Hope that sort of sets things right and yeah, I would be with the group that warns kids away from drugs because they have so much potential without them. But I honestly don't think I am taking the easy way out here.

At your age you can almost guarantee you will be on HRT for life. If you can accept that fact, then go for it. I am in my mid 30s and cycle and find it CRAZY hard to recover now. My last cycle ended in mid December. 10 weeks later I still am not recovered. As we get older it just gets that much harder.

Know the risks, keep on eye on your blood work and enjoy the ride. Best of luck in whatever you decide

[powerrack]

14-15 weeks usually.

i just take 6 caps of 1AD every day. it does the trick for me. going on three years now...

[nitrous]

10 weeks for me

[Adonis13]

3 1/2 months.... and i didnt need pct for anything. i went up to 700mg wk test E and Eq at 500, with dbol at the beggining

Actually, being on AAS makes you more susceptible to stress & anxiety or frustration. The one thing I like about being off-cycle is the laid-back sense I get.

What I'm prescribed is not really AndroGel® but a test gel made by a local pharmacy lab in this small city. Better yet, my medical coverage covers 80% of the prescription costs.

Haven't really run it yet, but I will at the end of next week when the lovely Test p & Mast 8 - week mini-cycle ends. Hope it avoids that whole loss-of-energy thing that eventually happens post-cycle.

Okay, 44, that changes things. Like I say, I kept cycling right up until this fall when i realized I either was not getting back to "normal" or that normal at 58 years old just didn't have much life in it (like it used to). I admit, however, that the last two or three runs between cycles were mostly just endurance and will power to keep going. HGH helped me maintain but for willpower I had only, well, willpower. Supplemented with everything to keep my sex life going but sometimes it just became a burden:shock. So when you reach the stage when off-cycle "normal" just doesn't feel normal anymore, and you're sure you don't want any more children, you just may consider getting on the TRT prescription train, and doing occasional cycles as usual. (44 is pretty young, however.)

I'll disagree with that. I am way more calm and have that "don't give a shit" attitude when on gear. My hormone levels are stable, my mood is stable, etc. Off (even before I started using) I was always up and down mood and temper wise. The dumbest things would annoy me or get my angry. Not at all when I'm on.

The Celine Dion comment... Hilarious man!

[RagingRandy]

I will let you know when I am "off". I am on HRT. I agree with Nate. I am calmer and emotionally stable while on. Mind you, when I am off my natural Test is very low.

[waderow]

i was on for 20 something weeks. I started to get sides in the form of acne, so I will never go on that long again or switch compounds and labs like I did. Recovery was fine however, and I used HCG, and clomid afterwards.

This cycle will be 16 weeks and I will surely recover quickly with HCG, clomid and aromasin.
, and then I will do another 16 weeker about 8 weeks after I come off.

staying on HGH the whole time.

next cycle will involve slin too, so quite stoked!

[Gettin'r'round]

This cycle will be a long cycle instead of 2 short ones. Towards the end i'll be taking a hrt dose to get me through my vacation and deal with PCT when I get back. But I'm going to Mexico so I might not make it back alive so I won't have much to deal with, lol. I did go into this cycle with probably low test as my sex drive was CRAP. All I did was some primo last may/june. Maybe I'll end up with HRT (i'm 35) but I'm already fixed and with kids so bring it on (if I have to that is). Be good to have regular blood tests and the like done. Not to mention feeling good into my 60's, 70's etc.
