im at the end of week 6 of a test e first cycle,at the end of week 4 i was up 18 pounds water/fat/muscle and my strength was up considerably,but the last two weeks have seen no strength or weight gains im not worried about it but was curious to know whether i should come off a couple of weeks early or keep going to week 12? its been a great cycle so far and im very pleased with the results.

frontloaded
test e 500ew

This is why I don`t do cycles longer than 8 weeks,save your body and gear....It`s like the art of war attack then defend....

did u use anything to kickstart the cycle?? 18 pounds in first 4 weeks is nice bro!
i always thought the test kicked in fo real around week 6-7

i only used test being as its my first,and i understand that test e usually takes a while to really kickin but i thought i might rap the cycle up and then i can plan a new one in a few months,so i found what you said interesting goose,but im just unsure because i might not have solidified all my gains if you know what i mean.

i do not see any major gains till week 7 myself...........
personally i would see the cycle out.....maybe up your calories a tad...........

personally if it was my first cycle i would do the 12 weeker. IMO minimum is 12 weeks for a cycle.

if gains have stopped id leave it another couple of weeks and come off and go into pct and recover and maintain, why stay on if the gains have stopped,

thanks for the input,i guess i could see it all the way through no problem,but in the end i would like to be able to do another cycle in about 10-12 weeks,and get it in before the summer ends.

up the food for the next couple of weeks and if you still see no gains, i would come off and do pct, if all gains have fully stopped and come to an end why stay on.

if this is your 1st cycle i would let it run the 12 weeks...if you do not gain much more in the remaining weeks then in future run the cycles as Marcus and Goose have suggested...if you do not run your 1st test cycle for the 12 weeks how will you know wether the test has started to work poperly for you......JMO............
