How many cycles a year do ya do?

[Powerhouse9]

I am around 3 cycles, one in late september or october for 10 weeks, one in january for 10 weeks and then end of may or start of june for 15 weeks. When do you guys do them? I usually do a half bulk half cutting one in the summer, then a bulking one in winter and then a cutting one soon after the new year.

And during your months off, how much of your gains do you lose? So far, I've only done one cycle and am not sure how much time to have off til the next one. Some people say the same amount of time you were on them and other say time and a half. Someone please help!

I Either do:
1 long one (~15 weeks) [NOT advisable]
2 moderate-length ones (11~12 weeks each)
3 Shorter length ones (~6-8 weeks)

STILL decifering WHICH plan works best for me and my body.

i do 1 and 1/2 cycles a year.
My cycles R no less then 6 months at a time so with the 2 months time off i can get another one started before the end of the year...

I do three cycles a year. Two bulking and one cutting

 

[Trevdog]

Now I am trying a long cycle. I'm in week 13 and not sure when I'm going to stop. Previously, I had run 2 moderate length cycles per year, 12 weeks each.

I always take clomid and or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). I've dont so many cycles that I usually lose almost all my gains now when I come off, but I will keep more strength with each cycle. For a while I was weighing 204lbs and benching 365 for 6 reps like 2 1/2 months off. I was like an ant carrying 10 times my body weight.

8 months on a little Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) between and off 5 or 6 months back to 8 month cycle....
not recommended for everyone!

I'm on year round so I just up the doses or lower them depends on there I at. But like DRvj11 said still looking for what my body reacts to best. I'm on HRT.
