Should you ever cruise on more than TRT between steroid cycles? In this episode of Blood Sweat & Gear, Skip Hill, Andrew Berry, and Scott McNally break down when a higher cruise dose might make sense, who it doesn't make sense for, and the long-term tradeoffs every enhanced lifter should understand. Along the way, they discuss James Hollingshead's Tampa Pro performance, SHBG, recovering from back injuries, bodybuilding with diabetes, partial reps, and much more.
