Anyone read either of the books from Author L. Rea? http://www.anabolicbeast.com/index.htm

Chemical Muscle Enhancement

Building The Perfect Beast

I understand that they are great for the beginner, intermediate and advanced BB.

Guys like Dave Palumbo and Tony Freeman top his list of clients.

I was talking with a kid today that I use to give some advice to many years ago. He's preparing for probably the largest qualifier in the south, The Southern States. He condoned me on the 6-4 theory that I recommend to him many years ago. He says over the last year he's changed to a 4 on 2 off program that this guy Rea advises people on but the 6 - 4 I recommended follows the same theory as his 4-2. Keeping your own test going and minimizing estrogen build up.
Which aren't avoidable with the longer 12, 16, 24 week cycle’s. I think anyone who is serious may want to consider picking up these books. I am going to.

Anyway back to the kid quickly he’s 25 yo 5’8” and he’s four weeks out from the show at 242. I would guess he is around 6% BF. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see this kid at the top of the NPCs one day.

they are suppose to be very good books

And why is keeping your own test going to an extent and minimizing estrogen build up possible over 12, 16, and 24 weeks?

I am not sure if I am understanding you correctly.

I recommend reading Building The Perfect Beast to any advance bb.

Its all explained in there.

i think its similar to dc's cycleing method. 4 weeks on gear 2 weeks with a lowered dose and running clomid/nolva, then back up to your normal dose for 4 weeks then rinse and repeat for 'x' amount of weeks. makes sense to me. keeping natty test levels as out of whack as possible.

Please forgive my ignorance but I don't understand this principle. Maybe I'm just misinterpreting your description. What I think you are saying is that you use a working dosage (say, 600mg Test enth or cyp a week) for 4 weeks and then you cruise at a low dosage (maybe 200mg?) for 2 weeks and then bump back up to 600mg for X amount of weeks until your desired cycle timeframe, total dosage or mass goals are met, right? How many cycles is the typical recommendation anyhow?


This is where I get lost. Any extraneous test above natural production levels would typically shut down natural production after a few weeks, correct? If so, cruising on low dose test for 2 weeks would still be considered extraneous, since you after 4 weeks on the working dosage you would probably be shut down by then anyhow. So, I don't see the value in using Nolva & Clomid (although I do understand that estrogen inhibits natural production of test) to minimize the inevitable estrogen effects and attempt to bring back natural test production to some degree for 2 weeks just to go back on 600mg per week of test again for the following 4 weeks, especially since you are still cruising with 200mg (or whatever amount) during this psuedo-PCT timeframe? It doesn't sound very cost effective. Besides, I'm not real big fan of Clomid because of the eyesight issues it creates with long term use. How is this more effective for building lean body mass than a 12 or 16 week cycle when you could take Nolva and armidex to minimize estrogen buildup while on-cycle, if you felt that you absolutely had to? Still, any aromatase inhibitor will negatively affect gains if taken while on-cycle. Don't get me wrong- I'm not knocking it this 4-2 theory- I'm only trying to understand it.


Is this cycling theory dependent upon only short esters like prop because the long esters like enth or cyp would seem to be just kicking in well when you would drop down the dosage. Please explain... :dunno:

Nevermind....Iron Addict claims the 4 on/2 off cycle is to allow for HPTA regulation to help allieviate the huge weight loss/gain fluctuations from stuff like colds, depression, injury that guys who cycle straight often suffer from post cycle. The clomid and armidex is supposed to bring the body as close to homeostasis as possible during this timeframe and allow you to keep the gains you've made. :needle:
