    1st Cycle: 10 or Twelve weeks?

    Hey fellas, I'm due for my last shot today of what is to be a 10 week test-e cycle @ 500mg/wk. I kicked with dbol for the first 4 weeks and have some nice gains (I'm up about 15 pounds and down a few pants sizes). I have enough test to go twelve weeks and am looking for some advice as to whether I should run another two weeks. I just recently started getting a little acne on my shoulders but thats about it for sides.

    Any advice would be appreciated. I'm interested in any reasoning behind the advice as well. I can always keep the extra for cycle #2 which will be a test-e only cycle as well.....I think.

    I'm going to attempt to scan my workout logs into this thread to show my strength increases (pretty cool IMHO).

    BTW, I'm running nolva @10mg/ed and have climid for PCT.

    Thanks.

    Yea if you have enough than why not? I kept gaining on my test e only cycle after week 12 so I went up to 14. Test E didn't start kicking in for me until around week 6 is when I really started to see strength gains. So that would leave me only 4 weeks of potential growth instead of 6. IMO I would go 12 weeks minimum.

    If you're still seeing gains I would keep going.

    If not than I would finish it up and go into PCT.

    Well...I can offer what I did.
    Not sure if there was any logical
    reasoning behind it, but I couldnt
    stop myself.
    I planned for 12, but actually went
    with 20wks test only.With that said,
    I also made sure I had HCG on hand
    and did administer it during the cycle
    to prevent atrophy, and to help keep
    the boys full If its only 2 more
    wks of gear you have, I would use
    it..but thats me.
    Im sure more replies will be along.
    Good luck, and happy growing

    12wks is the gold standard for a Test E only novice cycle. That extra 2 wks makes a BIG difference with the longer ester, and is of GREAT benefit to the first cycle.

    Although Hooker's linked page for acne/bacne is missing, my copy of it is here:

    Enjoy,

    Agreed, 12 is great, not just for first cycles either.
