Can you eventually plataeu during a blast cycle?

Hi
Is it possible to stop making gains during the last weeks or near the end of your blast cycle?
Does it work like:

FIrst 4 weeks. Body responds well as its a new hormone and compound in your body.. Make lots of gains
Last 2 weeks. Body gets used to it ( like with alot of drugs ) and body doesnt respond as much and you gain less to nothing

Go off or go on TRT for 12 weeks

Start again.. Rinse repeat?

Myostatin kicks in around the week 6-8 mark. After this the gains are a reduced. You can get around this to a point by changing compounds. But in the main the body won’t grow at the same rate as it did in the first 6 weeks. For me over the years. I don’t find courses over 8-10 weeks useful. I find after week 6 weeks things tail off rapidly.

I did a 12 week cycle and I think next time I'll do 8 weeks

Even with my limited experience (though well researched) using and at modest dosing (never more than 4/500mg of combined a week). I've always found that my system is wanting to jump off around week 8... feels right for me... Listen to your body. I think CNS fatique combined with everything starts to have a diminishing return. When I go back to trt, say 125/150mg for a a while. Everything improves, RHR goes from 70 to 55ish, BP is spot on, my HRV also improves etc, sleep improves, stress levels improve lipids if they've gone slightly out all fall back into line... I found that keep the gains can still progress. Am about week 4/5 on a moddest cycle into a PL comp prep and I'll pull back in about 3 weeks even though 6 weeks out... I'll get the final gloss on the prep from tapering off training and gear in those last 2 weeks...

Thanks yeh next blast will shorten it to 10 weeks I think. I felt my gains started tapering off around that time

Also with changing compounds next blast...
I did sus250 blast cycle at 350mg per week
Now will drop to cruise/TRT levels with Test E at 125/150mg per week. Will adjust with blood tests results along the way
Then after 12 weeks I will blast again. But on the next blast do you recommend changing compounds that are different from both sus250 and test e ?

There might be better people to advise here on swapping compounds for each blast... My personal view though is Test is Test to a certain point and everyone is different to how they respond to each ester. Other factors that decide what people use are the ester length of other compunds and pinning frequency. I use Cyp, always have done... never had a reason to change. I pair it with a bit of mast E which helps as a DHT for e2 control and in this one just 150mg NPP for help with joints as much as anything. I'm like 180mg of each roughly then I'll pull the NPP first and taper off completely.. I listen to this podcast, always lots of good knowledge here https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkBIGBodybuilding
