I’m not a doctor, endocrinologist or any other kind of medical professional and nor would I or will I offer such advice pretending I’m any of the above.... my opinion is strictly based off of my research regarding the subject, because I had the bright idea of bridging, blasting and cruising and I can not produce a child any longer... good thing the night I lost my virginity (long ago) I got a baby out of it... cause I can’t make one now...
I was not as smart as you though. I didn’t ask the questions. Kudos for reaching out. Never stop asking and never stop learning... that’s my 0.2... no matter how snotty anyone ever gets, it’s purely out of concern... if one doesn’t give a fuck, they’d not say a word.. so we gotta take all opinions and advice in as an act of love and concern regardless how it comes across... imo ;0)
Each individual is different. Will respond different. What works for one, may not be the answer for another... one may encounter issues and problems after a few weeks... always remember that permanent damage is ALWAYS a risk.. we make these decisions, knowing good damn well, we could very well fuck ourself for life... what you are willing to chance, that’s up to you to decide...
I’m an advocate for that bloodwork.... every 5 weeks mandatory like clockwork, as well as in between if feeling unsure where certain things are at...
This is great information cowboy mike. I want to salute you for chiming in and giving us a taste of the harsh reality of abusing gear. I am reaching a goal personally. I want to hit 180 7-8% bf by June. I am 185 @ 14%bf at 5'7. coming to a close of my first test cycle. I was only thinking about Blasting and cruising for a year and then cycling on and off or just doing TRT dose to maintain the physique moving forward.
May I ask, how long were you blasting and cruising for, what age did you start, and did you incorporate HCG into your cycle?
I get bloodwork every 4-5 weeks, because where I am its only 100$ for test/e2/and lipids

I was surprised as hell because up until then I had always heard you can’t get your girl pregnant while on cycle. Then when I looked into it after that happened I saw that AAS reduce sperm count but not potency. And all you need is one strong swimmer.
However like you said everyone responds different and it’s definitely not a one size fits all.

Why do I feel like this story is legendary. "Yeah I knocked my ex up while blasting a shit ton of gear" no fucking big deal! What a legend.

Are you still blasting and cruising or did you come off? If you came off how long were you on and what was your protocol to regain natural test levels?

Still blasting and cruising brotha. However I do run HCG for at least a month every 3-4 months or so. And will sometimes take 50mg clomid with it as well.

I definitely agree, its B&C'ing but not for an extended period of time. its 6-8 months not 6-8 years

I completely disagree with this blasting and cruising is for life... let me explain... You blast and cruise because you are A. A competitor and do not want to lose progress by coming off and wasting time. Or B you are already on try because you have a low testosterone. The thought process being that if you decide to Bakst and cruise you see no foreseeable end to end. Whether your last blast ends at 28 , 48 or whatever you are “cruising” on trt. At least I think this should be the mindset.
Blast and cruise came from older competitors who have already been previously diagnosed with low testosterone. It seems like everyone blasts and cruises now

So if a young individual has higher levels of T and starts blasting and cruising for say, 1-3 years. Gets the physique they want and decides cycling is best to move forward and maintain the physique. Do you think it would be possible to restore Natural levels and retain the ability to be fertile?
I guess if you blast and cruise for 1-3 years its like, can people on TRT for 1-3 years still have kids? I feel like you are still capable, but regaining natty test may be impossible or very difficult.

If you were so concerned about your fertility why even bother to use gear? Especially at 24?

Sorry Micki420 but blasting and cruising for 6-8 months is just a long cycle, cruising isn't for everyone and defs sounds like you're not completely ready for it.

Everyone out there that says,"Hey, I'll just blast and cruise for a little while until I get where I want to be and then I'll stop" 20 years later we are still doing the same thing.Lol. And I'll tell you a few reasons for this: A- We never get to where we want to be!!! That's why we bodybuild in the first place. Be honest, which one of you is truly content at where you are? It's a sickness. And I absolutely love it!! If any of us became satisfied we would lose the drive to continue on persuing this obsession. B- You use a steroid to get to and surpass our own genetics. And then if you just think you're going to stop and maintain that same level of condition or size you're sadly mistaken. It just doesn't work that way for at least most people. C- Once you do get to a point where you feel like it's time to stop guess what? You don't have any natural Test left...………..So what do we all do in any of these scenarios? Yep, right back to blasting and cruising. It is what it is and non of us should feel bad or condem anyone for making their own choices to do so. But no one can say for sure to the original poster that he will be fine with having children while using steroids or not whether he blasts and cruises or uses a full PCT. Everything in this game is so individual. I had my son while on gear and while blasting and cruising for years. Does not mean that will happen to everyone. It just always makes me smile when someone says,"I'll just blast and cruise for a little while." Not making fun or talking down to anyone because this is exactly what I used to tell myself.
