    why does it take long to recover?

    So i understand steroids will shutdown or suppress your natural testosterone production, but why is it the longer you are on a cycle the longer it takes for your LH and FSH hormones to recover so your natural testosterone is back at a steady level to maintain the gains from steroids.

    I wanted to choose between a 6 week and 8 week cycle of test prop since they are shorter and more effective, however i didn't want to risk too long so i was thinking only 6 weeks. Whats your opinions? as well explanations on recovering time?

    Theres no eveidence 6-8 week cycles are more effective.I advocate test cycles for 10-12 weeks. Recovery time is (Time on + pct= Time off).

    Deca only cycles are not good deca is a very suppressive steroid you need test in every cycle.
