Do I Have To Take a Big Break In Between Cycles?

I will be finishing a twelve week cycle of EQ 300 (400/wk) and Winstrol (50/eod) in the second week of May. I am 22, 230 pounds, ~10% BF, and this cycle was intended to increase my lean muscle mass and power potential without getting heavier. I want to do a similar 12 week cycle after this one is over, but I need to test negative by January. Would it be a big deal if I only took off two weeks in between these cycles and started in the first week of June? This second one will be my last. I appreciate any info…

general rule of thumb is to stay off cycle as long as you were on, in between.

since this wasnt a heavy test-based cycle, you could Januarybe cut down your off time, but I’d think you’d need to stay off longer than two weeks regardless. also check around for detection times of eq. I’m not sure what they are. winny’s not very long.

keep this in mind. if you are being tested for sure, I would assume whatever the reason the test is for, is serious and I would be extremely careful to not be positive, as a pos test could ruin future chances of whatever you are doing….making your muscle gains for that purpose obsolete.

just my opinion.

TG is right. stay off for as long as you were on. as for detection time of EQ…the detection time is 4-5 months so be careful.

So then, you guys can see my dilema. I need to test negative at the beginning of January, but I want to fit in another twelve week cycle. I would be clean if I started two weeks after I finish this one, but what side-effects might I suffer from not taking enough time off? That is what I really want to know now. Thanks.

ok my q is, what if one is on for like 10 months? Do you actually need to be OFF for 10 months? That seems like a long fuckin time to be off…there has to be a limit somewhere right? I am afraid of losing all my gains.

If you dont want a long break, then just find out the clearance times of your last drugs, ive just given myself a 4 week break from a sust dbol cycle, because sust takes 4 weeks to clear totally, hence im ready to start back, ok you January comprimise some gains, but im still adding 15-20+lbs of decent muscle every cycle

So then what would the negative aspects of starting a cycle too early after the last one be?

just the fact that your site may not clear all the way. so having said that, SF was right. you may not get as large of gains, but you will still get good quality gains. good luck.
