I'm aware of the age old rhetoric, "time on + PCT = time off", and I have no gripe with it.
BUT.
When one is on TRT and doesn't have to worry about endogenous hormones normalizing after a cycle, what should the appropriate protocol be?
My understanding of the time off motto is that it is mostly to allow reformation of baseline hormone production. When that is not a factor, the only things we are then left to take into account (as far as I can tell) are liver health, blood lipids, heart health, and to prevent AR down regulation. So, how long is needed to satisfy these four requirements?
Time on = time off?
1/2 time on = time off?
Both science-based theory and personal experience welcome.
