Unless you are using gear, then such a workout routine would be without question overtraining for many. I think it goes back to the fact that what works for one, will not work for another. Simple as that. If you are taking 1g+ of test per week, obviously your body is going to have a significant positive nitrogen retention, on top of all the other positive factors going into quicker recovery times. Let's not forget that there are several users here who remain natural bodybuilders. For such members, overtraining is a key factor to take into consideration.
As for the main question posed here...."If your blood results come back positive, and your receptors are still active, why should you come off??"
-Common sense would tell us that the more foreign substances you put into your body, the higher degree to which it throws off your entire system. If this weren't true, then why would people use selective dosages?? People stay within boundaries for safety reasons. Just because your body can handle 1g+ of test, massive amounts of insulin, HGH, etc...does not give you a license to put it into the body without consequence. Sure, maybe the blood work is fine "for the moment". The human body can take a beating...but don't think for a moment it is not having a negative effect on your body. Somewhere in the body you are catastrophically effecting something. Do not think that extended high blood pressure levels, constant strain on the kidneys, liver, and other internal organs will not catch up to one down the road. A test is "at the moment". It does not show what will happen in a week, it will not show that your kidney, liver, and heart can fail at any moment. This is why most normal people tend to use shorter cycles, to save face, and save possible health consequences. There is no rocket science behind this. All the gear bodybuilders use will have a detrimental effect if abused, anything will, hell people die from ibuprofen. Good bloodwork is not a license to go crazy, minus consequence, unless of course one has a deathwish, and purely thinks about living one day at a time, without thought for the future.
It is a common misconception that if one uses steroids they can train harder than natural. Not so. While yes, steroids to increase recovery ability, they greatly increase strength very quickly, which means more damage done to the muscles each workout, which means that the body needs the extra recovery ability from the streroids so it does not become overtrained.
You have to keep in mind that over a persons training life, their strength can increase 6 times while the recovery ability increases only 2.5 times.
The above aorkout is great for naturals too. It originally became designed as a natural's workout.
Blood tests are used in medecine to see possible future problems as before anything goes wrong with an organ, signs can be detected through blood tests for a very long time in advance, years even. So doing a blood test every 6 weeks or so will give you plenty of warning.
You said highblood pressure - if a person doesn't eat like a moron, the blood pressure stays normal. Mine is always 120/80 regardless of how much gear I use because I watch the diet.
You said liver and kidneys get stressed - most injectibles have ZERO negative effects on the liver. Check any medical journal. For the toxic compounds, one is supposed to take liver aids. If Synthergine is taken with any aa17 compounds, the liver will not be under stress, unless the person is a moron and also drinks and takes rec drugs.
The kidneys will be fine as there's only 1 or 2 steroids that 'could' possibly be kidney toxic. Most kidney problems are because people get dehydrated because they don't drink water. Soft drinks, etc do not hydrate.
Also, I recomend Proscar for keeping the prostate healthy, Femara to keep estrogen levels in check and regular HCG or CLomid to keep the testes functioning.
The heart is kept healthy with intense cardio, fish oils, aspirin, etc. And of course, if one is worried, they should get MRIs done when they do the blood test.
Ibuprufen is more liver toxic than paracetamol which in turn is more liver toxic than ANY steroid, including d-bol, a-50 and halo.
I do not support abuse of steroids, but if done the way I suggest, then that is not abuse.
