Im on cycle now...but had a length question for the vets

**sircharles** · 01-28-2007, 12:50 PM

Im 24 and running Test-e only (its my first cycle). Injecting twice a week, and just finished up week #3.

I had planned on doing this cycle 13 or 14 weeks, but read a lot of people stop at 12.

Wouldnt it be more beneficial for me to run it 14 seeing as the test wont kick in until like week 6? Or wuould it be 'safer' to cut it at week 12?

Thanx...

you start to see more sides the longer you cycle. what dosages are you taking? in my experience a lower dose for longer duration seems to yeild more permant gains.

since this is you 1st cycle i would defintly stop around the 12-13 week range make sure you have the proper post cycle drugs clomid,nolva.

you can for 14 wks it shouldnt be a problem

**sircharles** · 01-28-2007, 01:44 PM

Yeah, i have a nice PCT set. Im doing 500mg/Week along with Proviron and Nolva everyday. Im wondering if I should do 500mg/Week and then do maybe 250/week for weeks 13-14.....?

There really isnt a 'set date' of time when you have to be off man.. Set your goals of what you want to accomplish that are reasonable.. and hit them.. if it takes 11 weeks then good.. or if it takes 15 weeks then good.. I use that as a start/stop instead of someone telling me 12 weeks because EVERYONE else says that.. hope that helps and answers your question

**duramaxedge** · 01-28-2007, 01:54 PM

and I definately wouldnt lower your dose .. keep the same 500mg throughout

**bigwillystyle** · 01-28-2007, 01:57 PM

keep your dosages the same througout your cycle bro..less sides..easier pct

I would keep your doses the same throughout your cycle. I think at 250 mg a week you should go for the full 14 if you have everything you need.

Im not doing 250/Week, just a taper down thought. Im doing 500/Week, but after hearing the responses Ill keep it at 500 the whole 14 weeks.

quit when you see the gains start to tapper off. I used this method and now my cycles are 6 weeks long

just keep in mind you HPTA man. i'm young like you and my test levels are SHOT right now from a longer cycle and iv been of for about 4.5months. id say keep it shorter, unless you plan on switching compuonds around so the gains keep comming. good luck dude

why?? so you will stop growing, and experience the effects of lowered test levels, and then pct???

just run 500mg to week 14, then start pct 2 weeks after that.. do you have hcg ?? adminstration of that is during the cycle starting at week 4.. 500iu sat/sunday..

good luck.. the nolva during the cycle will slow your progress, but lets wait and see..

**sircharles** · 01-28-2007, 10:30 PM

No HCG and Im only doing 10mg Nolva everyday. I originially was only doing it every 3rd day BUT started experiencing sensitive nipples and threw it in everyday. Symptoms have gone away so starting tommorrow Im starting every third day. If I end up getting NO more gyno symptoms, im dropping it completely

I was mainly interested in Nolva b/c of the 'no water retention' effect.

I'd have a set day to start pct before planning a cycle, but IMO you stop when you stop making the gains. I prefer longer low dose cycles.
