 Resurrecting Old School Pyramiding


After I had my first couple years of cycling under my belt I started noticing a trend whenever I went on a new cycle. I always experienced great gains for approximately 4-6 week after everything "kicked in" but then gains came VERY slowly or almost non-existant in some cases. I'm wonder if bringing back pyramiding has any merit. We all know pyramiding down isn't very useful but maybe pyramiding up would be. Something like this comes to mind...
Solo Test Cycle:
Week 1-12: Test Enanthate 500mg/week
Week 4-6: Test Prop 200mg/week
Week 6-8: Test Prop 300mg/week
Week 8-10: Test Prop 400mg/week
Week 10-12: Test Prop 500mg/week

Comments?

I am doing this right now and it is working.

Without going into too much detail, I used test enan, EQ, and Tren ace, the first ten weeks.
Stopped making much gains about this time. I started using 50 mg
of test prop 5 days a week. I don't inject it on my test enan and EQ days(Mon and Sun). My strength and weight are going up slowly, but most of all my body looks better. I don't know what my BF% is, but I know its very low and its just getting better. I have had more positive comments about my body in the last four weeks than I have every had.
I don't know how much of this strategy is actually working, but if its the placebo effect I will still take it any way I can get it! LOL

I like the idea. It's not only that there may be some scientific merit to it, but I think it's a good way to keep motivated. You have something to look forward to.

Makes sense to me.

I do see merit in pyramiding down. You are still shut down the entire time and gains will be less apparent towards the end. But it allows me to gradually get used to the numbers in the gym and the scale dropping. I feel much better than if I were to come off full steam and crash down to nothing during PCT. Perhaps just mental, or perhaps biologically it makes sense to ease your body back down to normal hormone levels. I will say that changes in mood as well as acne decrease to nonexistant for me in doing this as well. Before I would get some acne breakout during PCT and feel a little moody. Perhaps that is what happens when you go from a 1g+ of gear a week to nothing within a couple weeks. Bouncing back during PCT seems to come quicker after pyramiding down also. Without doing so, it normally took me atleast three weeks to feel like things were normalized. Now it takes me just a couple weeks before I feel that way. I still run a full PCT regimine regardless though. Like I said could just be mental, but if it works go for it. I've never tried pyramiding up, never thought it worthwhile so I can't speak for that though.

Pleas describe your pyramiding method.
