Why Do steroids have to be taken in cycles?

[AARONHARRISON]

Is it just unhealthy to do them continually?

I've been reading alot on how they are always cycled but I don't know why?

Wouldn't you lose the muscle once you were off of them?

 

[Kane_Red_Machine]

What do you think AAron.

imagine one second no internet... what would think about cycles?

 

[DADAWG]

if you dont cycle the steroids the side effects will continue to build . the longer you cycle the harder it will be to recover with post cycle therapy (pct) at the end imo. most people lose a small portion of their gains unless they are allready past their " natural limit " and very few people are at that level.

 

[TheMilkMan]

to put it simply, you need to cycle off steroids in order for your body to return to homeostasis... this allows you to rid yourself of most of the negative side effects that come with steroid use

generally it is recommended that you spend as much time off as you do on (with post cycle therapy (pct) being considered as "on"), so time on + post cycle therapy (pct) = time off

in most cases, if diet, training, and post cycle therapy (pct) is on par you can keep most (70% or so from my personal experience) of your gains

Thanks guys.....that totally makes sense. After putting something so harsh in the body the body needs time to absorb it.

To tell you the truth after learning about steroids I am actually glad they are cycled. I feel better about using them when I do.

No NOT absorb but the total oppisite..Detox from it. Clean out from it.Rid your body off all the steroids..

Lol glad you feel better about it.. So your really gonna use steroids? When you planing on it? Did any one tell you that it woulden't hurt to wait like a year or 2 till you really got in to the gym connstiencely and start looking like you been working out hard. JMo you'll be better off and you will get much more out of being on steroids if you got your self looking better natt for a year or two. And then Bam! the steroids have some thing to work with. I promis you this is the best thing for you..

i'dd have to agree with the wait a year. i made the mistake of doing my first cycle while coming back from a 2 month break from working out, and after the juice I was only a little bit past my personal best without juice.

 

[big12]

Rocko has the right idea

 

[fmrmarineinbiz]

Jose Conseco or that gladiator dude "Nitro" ring any bells??

 

[AARONHARRISON]

A year seems like a long time. I was thinking at least a month but I'll see then. I hope to be lifting mroe weights by that time.

 

[Lousy_Bastard]

A year seems like a long time, but if you damage your young body then a year doesnt seem long at all,

Id reckon at least 2, to get your muscles natural your body will apprecaite you better for it

Plus in 2 years picture the knowledge you will have picked up just chill and read read read, thts just my opinion.

 

[juced_porkchop]

DO NOT USE STEROIDS!!
your not there physically OR mentally.
you WILL hurt yourself.

There's also something I dont understand about when an unshapped CASPER looking person put's "Jr. Bodybuilder" as their avatar... hmm.

 

[juced_porkchop]

aaron--if you are serious about starting already then try something very easy-
like test only------but if these guys are right then maybe you should wait a little while

Don't go telling him things like that please!!! and he should wait more than a little while

He's going to hurt himself and end up on the front page of the newspapers as an example of what steroids can do
