Going on for a year

[RxGenes]

I'm debating what to do for my next cycle. First cycle was test c only. Current cycle is prop, eq, winny in preperation for a show. It is a goal of mine to turn pro in 2012. I came to the conclusion today if I really want to do this for a living, I need to add some serious mass. What do you guys think about going on for a year to simply do just that, add mass to my frame. My mindset is that will give me some time to get quality gains and be able to hold on to a fair amount of it after coming off. Now, I am still young, this would only be my third cycle, I would like to have kids one day, do you think I should just give it a while or "go big or go home" ? I was considering running combinations of test e/c, eq, and deca for the year.

Now i'm no expert but wouldn't deca have some major harsh sides for your manhood using that long? Why not just run test, cheap and gets the job done

O I agree 100%. I was thinking something like this:

Weeks 1-52: Test @ 600wk
Weeks 17-35: Deca @ 400wk
Weeks 36-52: EQ @ 400wk

when i stay on for a year i always run test the entire time.
test is the best for a reason

Even though you are running Test it should be switched up every 3 mos or so. Change from one test to the other. Drop Deca for 3 mos and change to something different. Your body responds to changes. If you continue the same cycle day in and day out your body will quit responding the way you would like for it to.

Basically I think you'll hit a plateau unless you change things up every once in a while.

Well, weeks 1-16 would be test alone. Weeks 17-35 would be the test with deca, weeks 35-52 would be test with eq. Not enough change ? I got some huge feedback/bashing on ssb for this, check it out

I prefer long cycles, I use blast and cruise method. Works well on longer cycles. Blast for 6 weeks at a much higher test dose drop down again for 4-6 weeks at maintanence dose. I have been on since june or so, approaching my one year anniversary.

I did and what they are saying is somewhat right IMO. Changes are what keeps the body guessing. When you change to Deca change the tests you are using as well. I think you'll keep gaining as long as you keep changing it up even if it is a little.

No, I too understood almost everyone's point of view, there was some good advice in there. I was just asking the question more what did people think about me going on a basic cycle for a year with the intent of adding some weight that I would be able to carry around for a few years hopefully.

More of the question, should I do two 16 weeks cycles over the next year first ? Should I just give it another year or two to see if I can grow some more before endulging in a year long endeavor. Should I wait till I have kids ? More the idea of the whole thing rather than the cycle itself.

I admire your ambition. It seems these days quality pro's are in high demand. However, you should set smaller goals. Have you competed in a show? It is like wanting to be a professional hockey player without puttin on the skates. I would suggest doing a larger cycle to prepair for a show. A year is a long time but those amounts are not bodybuilder amounts.

I would suggest 1000mgs test, 500mgs Deca, 40mgs Dbol ed (4 weeks on 4 off) for 3 months. Then after the 3 months switch to 1250mgs test, 500mgs EQ, 40mgs Winstrol ed. Clen 100mcgs ed (2 weeks on/off) ECA on the off weeks. And diet yourself into a show.

This will take about 6 months and you will be able to put on the size and then slice it down. I would also suggest lean bulking to make the cutting easier and more effective.

Pick a show to enter and stay true to it. 6 months from now you are looking at Londons/Windsors. Great level 1 shows to start with that always bring in awesome crowds.

**I would not suggest this cycle to anyone other then someone getting ready for a show. Prove yourself on stage and see if you have what it takes to dial in. Then start thinking about provincials and nationals. That will set you up for becoming a pro. **

Best of luck.
