Anything wrong with short burst cycles?

[UnderTheBridge]

6 weeks on and 4 weeks off “blasting”, is this okay or should you take more time off for health reasons. Lmk if anyone has experience doing this. Thanks.

No personal experience with this but I would think it would depend on the compounds. EQ won’t do shit in 6 weeks for example. Tren A kicks in quick. Test E takes a couple weeks to get concentrated etc etc.

General consensus is also as long off body as you were on blast. But I can’t confirm if that’s scientifically backed or just steroid bro science.

Time off should always be determined by bloods; for some people a few weeks is enough, for others a few months is necessary. Anecdotally, I’ve done a couple 7-8 week cycles and a month was plenty for my bloods to return to pre-blast levels. I wouldn’t do short cycles of much other than short esters, and even then would probably stick to just Test P/Tren A with orals if I was going to do them again.

I’m in favor of burst cycles. You do the bulk of your growing in weeks 1-8 of a cycle if you’re using short esters. The shorter the cycle, the faster you can go back to cruising and resensitize androgens, and the faster you can blast again. Myostatin signaling doesn’t start affecting muscle growth till around 2 months into a cycle and gains start slowing down a lot. You save time, money, and you’re efficient if you stick to short cycles with small cruises in between.

Do you happen to have any more info on myostatin signaling? I would Google but if you know of a good study or anything already it saves time scouring through everything.

the longest i ever blasted was 8 weeks at a time. shortest was 4. short esters, npp, test prop, tren ace.
went from 190 to 235 doing that in 2 years. then again, that was cuz i’d get hurt in various ways so i’d cut some cycles short.
still, worked for me.

Its better to keep TRT dose for test constant, and just use suspension/base/orals on days you work out (or eod if you workout everyday, for lagging boddy parts), ideally 2 hours pre workout. You’ll have keepable gains while mantaining health. You could easily do drol all year round by alternating between drol, var, dbol eod.

Also looking for any scientific literature on the myostatin claims. Also, when you say weeks 1-8, does that mean from the first pin? Or when the compound reaches full saturation? If so then wouldn’t EQ or deca be a subpar choice for bulking due to the length of time it takes to kick in?

Consider the ester times for the compounds you are using although 6 weeks in general seems a bit short even for a shorter ester like tren ace in which I personally found the best results when ran for 8-10 weeks. I was and am not a fan of time off = time on, imo bloodwork is key and should always be the main factor of your blasting/cruising schedule

Refer to the link I just posted. Deca and EQ have their place, but for the purpose of maximizing growth over a short period of time nothing beats a strong androgen and high testosterone. Mike Arnold also has a few articles on burst cycles worth checking out, he mentions the body grows in spurts and it’s best to mimic our physiology through quick blasts. Of course it’s much harder to find case studies on this due to the nature of the study but myostatin is a good indicator of how much muscle mass we can pack on over a period of time.

That’s how I usually go about it. My bloods are normal way before the same amount of time off. Just read somewhere blood work doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story so there could be heart problems behind the scenes I guess.

Problems of such matters/long term issues would apply even if you took 45 years off inbetween blasts.
