His claims that the vast majority of gains are made in the first 30 days.....his "blast" cycles. His idea that "homeostasis", although he doesne't define the factors that he groups into this generic term, overwhelm anabolic effects in a short period. Pyramiding of doses, although worthwhile with very short-estered gear. His understanding of the science behind things is sub par too.
Short "blast" cycles are ideas from back in the 80's. There's good reasons why we've all evolved onto longer cycles. Those ideas were more pertinent back when the proper use of anti e's both during a cycle and primarily for pct were less well-understood and effectively used. Proper use of anti e's can thwart a lot of the factors contributing to "homeostasis".
I'll post something I wrote regarding longer cycles:
This was a recent post at AR, and I think it's an interesting topic, so I'm posting it up over here for anyone to add to or contradict:

NOW how do i keep on growing during a say 20 week cycle? Assuming diet, rest, training etc is good is there anything that can be done to maximize
AAS caused growth? the one i know that slows down cycle muscle gains of is the SHBG increase, which i can combat with the use of proviron+insulin. Are there any other growth-slowing actions i should know about? thanks guys.

I've posted my theory on AR receptors over prolonged exposure to supraphysiological doses of
AAS over time. ARs are upregulated initially in response to increased ligand (
AAS) concentrations. However, it's been shown in vitro (but not yet in vivo) that ARs do downregulate over time, when exposed to constant high levels of
AAS (
test). Androgens lower SHBG levels, whereas estrogens increase SHBG levels, so utilizing sufficient anti e's throughout a cycle can have advantages from many different standpoints. During an
AAS cycle, if sufficient anti e's are used, your bioavailable
AAS (akin to bioavailable
test in a "natural" athlete) will be much higher than when not on cycle. SHBG will creep up over time, but your % bioavailable
test should still be much higher than off cycle. A couple things to try during the latter half or latter 1/3 of a longer cycle would be to incorporate proviron and/or to slightly increase doses (but plan your starting doses with this in mind). I'm in now way a proponent of big doses. Your body seeks homeostasis by many mechanisms and will adjust to Xmg/wk of
AAS. Increasing that dose after a long run at a constant dose has the potential to increase expression of ARs once again. Another thing that many do is to add in more androgenic compounds towards the end of their longer cycles, which can again lower SHBG levels in addition to providing their inherent anabolic and androgenic effects.

This can't be stressed enough. I should have mentioned that before anything else I said. You NEED to maintain a fairly excessive positive caloric intake to grow big.

i would like to know what part you thought were "antiquated dogma"?
