This method of using steroids is actually called cruise shock. As for why this is done, let me give you a brief scientific explanation.
Traditional bodybuilding enthusiasts use steroids according to the principle of cycle + PCT, that is, concentrated medication for a period of time (usually 8 to 12 weeks), and then enter PCT (recovery phase). The purpose of concentrated medication is to gain muscle and circumference growth in a short period of time, while PCT is to restore the body’s various indicators to the state before medication.
This approach seems perfect, but there is an unsolvable problem: it cannot maintain a stable hormone level. For high-level trainers, the maintenance of their muscle mass depends on a high level of serum hormone concentration, and this concentration value needs to be maintained for a long time. However, the serum concentration brought by cycle + PCT is a variable value, characterized by first increasing and then decreasing. Therefore, when taking the approach of cycle + PCT, users often experience a “honeymoon period” of rapid increase in weight and strength, followed by a “loss period” of declining state when entering PCT. This change in state is directly related to serum hormone concentration.
The practice of taking drugs all year round is not what most people understand as using steroids in large doses every week without distinction, but rather a planned and purposeful rotation of drug types to achieve the best muscle-building effect. This practice is also called shock cruise.
The most typical practice of shock cruise is to use a variety of drug types in large doses within a certain period (usually 8-12 weeks), and then significantly reduce the types of drugs and dosages used in the next 6-8 weeks, using relatively small amounts of drugs to maintain the state and prepare for the next second shock period.
Shock-cruise shock-cruise, and so on, this is a true portrayal of the professional bodybuilding circle. The biggest benefit of this practice is to stabilize serum hormone concentrations and create space for continued growth for trainers through appropriate dosage arrangements. Taking this approach. It will limit the state fluctuations to a minimum. You only need to focus on training and diet (if the drugs and dosages are selected properly, diet can even have a considerable degree of freedom), and the user will complete a revolutionary transformation within a whole year.
