2 week breaks needed in the long term for ph/steroid users?

[pjorstad]

Many natural people advise a 2 week break to recover your system and usually its done every 12 weeks. I was wondering if you plan on doing 1-test etc in the future is it really necessary to take 2 week breaks off every once in awhile if you plan on regularly using 1-test. When i take 2 weeks off i lose weight and 2 weeks worth of strength. I guess its an obvious answer that since naturals need recovery time for hormones and we don't but just want to make sure.

are you asking about a 2 week break from liftling or from PH??? If you are asking about a 2 week break from lifting well i would say a week or so every say 6 mo or year is a good thing--a vacation from heavy lifting.....if you are asking about a 2 week break from PH use then i suggest you research PH a bit more as a 2 week break after a 12 week cycle is far far far from sufficient

No im talking about from lifting.

So a week or 2 every 6 months is if you are a regular PH/steroid user right???

If your natural a lot recommend every 12 weeks.

I would say listen to your body....there is no "formula" natural or not sometimes it is good to give your body a break.....fit it into your schedule....you go on a vacation...perfect time to take a break....Dorian Yates spoke about giving your body time to rebuild....listen to your body....every few weeks I will take an extra rest day if I feel my body needs it...remember you grow when your not in the gym,,,,providing you bust ass in the gym....and every 6 mos or so I will take a week off when i go on vacation.....yeah when you hit it again you will be sore..it may take a session or 2 to work your strength back but it is all well worth it in my opinion
