i have seen this Q posted several times so i thought this might help. after a cycle your LH function & test levels need to recover. D-bol is a good bridging agent because it is very anti catobolic and also has an androgenic effect, increasing neuro-muscular function(more strength). 10 mg's of d-bol can increase your average test levels 5 times while decreasing your endogenous cortisone by 50% or more. test levels are highest in the morning after you wake up. when you first awake your body is about to release Testosterone creating a spike. Insulin , LH & test levels are low. 10 mg's d-bol will create a simotanious test spike with the test released from the testes. your body will not detect the entire above normal increase in test. LH levels will remain a little supressed. LH levels will recover @ a slow rate & the ant catobolic effect of D-bol will stump morning protein loss. *note: if you take more than 10 mg's, LH levels will not recover. in a few hours after administering 10 mg's it will be 5 mg's, this is why the body doesnt detect the full above normal spike & LH levels will return to acceptable levels. this will keep test levels @ a high enough level to prevent too much unwanted muscle loss.i ran this bridge with success when i started my 3 week PCT & for 3 more weeks after that. hope this helps & answers some Q's
i'm a lttle surprised this thread received zero response. i didnt even have anyone disagree w/me LOL.
I've known lots of guys that ran it like you describe. I still think you should go off compelety now and then as you wont totally recover if you bridge. But you will get levels back to 80% or so I'm told. Its something I will be using later this year.
Thanks for the info with the morning d-bol bridge. I'm curious if as a part of HRT (I'm 41) that you could forego the d-bol and the possible effects on cholesterol readings and just do a shot of test enanthate once a week and accomplish the same without our own test suppression. I am getting ready to come off a cycle this month and have been pondering some of those options. Do you think recovery would be suppressed or nonexistant staying on a maintanence dose of 1 amp (250mgs) a week? I know many of the folks in the over 30 forums have had similar discussions and many have resigned to this idea. I just wonder about getting the boys back and hanging again after a 12 weeker.
i would come off. 250 mg's a week is enough to suppress recovery. i think the older you get the more recovery time you need between cycles. i would rather recover then have to go on HRT
i dont think any bridge is a good one. if your going to juice then do a cycle. if not then dont do anything. just my 2 cents.
i usually lose 50%-70% of my gains. last time i tried this bridge i lost 10%. a noteworthy improvment. it's up to you how much of your gains you want to lose or keep. i dont care for bridges myself & dont use this every time but it does help to keep your gains while your test & LH levels are returning to acceptable operating perameters
