Lol that’s why it’s a cruise and not referred to as TRT…a cruise is just an arbitrary maintenance dose for a clean out/rest phase.
Certainly more conservative guys, and genetically gifted guys, will use things like 200-300mg between blasts, but don’t for a second think some wild man taking 5 grams+ of gear is ever coming down to anything reasonable. That dude is probably not even down to a gram at any point. And he probably isn’t at the top of the sport; the worst drug abuse is typically the guys who are trying to go pro or break into an elite tier of lifters in strength sport. If you have to use tons of drugs to make that status, you have no hope of ever being a very top athlete, because those guys are inherently better even without all the drugs. And if they go crazy on the drugs, it’s game over for everyone else.
That’s when you see bodybuilders like Nasser & Ronnie, and lifters like Scott Mendelson & Eddie Hall. Guys who had all the genetics to be champions & pushed all the drugs they could eventually.
