The 2-On, 4-Off Cycle: A Case Study
by Bill Roberts
Bill Roberts holds a bachelor's degree in Microbiology and Cell
Science, and has pursued a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in
Medicinal Chemistry. His education was invaluable so far as
being able to design/improve nutritional supplement compounds.
His education was invaluable so far as being able to
design/improve nutritional supplement compounds, since it was in
the field of designing drug molecules and secondarily some work
in transdermal delivery. It was not specifically "geared" toward
androgens other than expertise with pharmacological principles
having broad applications. This has allow Bill to provide unique
insight into the field of anabolic pharmacology with knowledge
of points which he would not have known otherwise.

Nothing in this article is intended to take the place of advice from a licensed health professional. Consult a physician before taking any medication. Jim has succeeded in retaining his strength gains, and even on improving his bench press, and has lost as little weight from his peak as could be expected (5 lb) considering that he lost ¾ inch from his waist in weeks 3 and 4. Overall he is now 8 lb heavier with a waist that is a half inch smaller, which probably represents a loss of about three pounds of bodyfat. I certainly hope that Jim will get a skinfold measurement at the end of week 6 to further quantitate these results. He suffered no observed side effects except increased acne and a slight increase in irritability during the two "on" weeks, which might also have been caused by increased stress he was under at the time. Even blood pressure, which often rises during a cycle, remained normal at all times. Here are the results so far:
| Bodypart/Parameter | Starting | Week 2 | Week 4 | | Weight | 175 | 188 | 183 | | Waist | 33 | 33 ¼ | 32 ½ | | Bench Press | 260 | 295 | 305 | | Military Press | 165 | 190 | 190 | | Testosterone | 429 | 50 | 529 |
Furthermore, all of his blood cholesterol parameters were improved from the starting values, though perhaps insignificantly, and all liver values were normal (although CPK was not checked this time). That is despite the use of oral 17-alkylated anabolics: 20 mg/day each of Dianabol and oxandrolone. This I think is attributable to the dosing pattern of use only in the morning, a protocol I learned from a certain Greek physician. I’d hope that his waist will be down to 32" by the end of week 6, and that the next cycle will see him with a bench of 325 or better and military press of over 200 at the 4 week point. By the end of the six week point of the second cycle, he should have a 31 or 31.5" waist with bodyweight of 183-188. So, Jim, the gauntlet has been laid down: go to it! :)
