Cycling is used by people who know exactly what they want to achieve
and when, as well as when they want to be steroid-free when it comes to
being tested.
Cycling is essentially an on-off strategy and one
of the big reasons it’s done is to avoid the diminishing effects of
steroids after they’ve been continually taken for around two months,
where muscle gain can start to slow. Cycling requires a plan as you’ll
be deciding how long you want to take the steroid for, and how long the
break in between will be when you stop using it.
A cycle can
range anywhere from a few weeks up to several months of usage, followed
by a period of time with either no steroid use at all, or using at a
lower dosage. Your cycle length will depend on your experience with
steroids, which steroid you’re taking, and what goals you’re trying to
achieve.
