    Short Cycle....Recovery Time?????

    1)What period of time should one wait after doing a short cycle of test?
    2)When would you know if its ok to start again?


    I did a short cycle of Sustanon w/ Cypionate ...for 6 weeks.
    -250mg/wk Sus
    -200mg/wk Cyp

    Should i just wait 6 weeks....or can i start sooner?

    Also....any tips for recovering faster?


    I am 43 yrs old and have been training for 15 yrs...


    thanks....

    A six week cycle is very short, a 12 week cycle would be better,just stay off for 6 weeks before you start again.

    Untrue,

    Stay off as long as it takes to recover fully, normally with short cycles the recovery process is alot quicker.

    the prudent thing to do is time off = time on+PCT , get bloodwork before you go back on. That is what is frequently recommended

    i just wanna chime in and say, that staying off till ur fully recovered isnt quite Long enough imo... i feel that once ur body returns to normal it wouldnt hurt to stay off a lil longer since it is so stressful on ones body to shut down and recover ones body over and over..
    and im tired and im hungry and im not making sense ><

    Thanks Guys...

    I've heard that GH is great for PCT time...

    Also...how do you know when its ok to start again? My nuts have shrunk a little so now i am doing some Tongkat...

    QUESTION: How long does it take the receptors to clear out?

    Run your PCT and stay off of AAS for the time that you were on cycle. Get your bloodwork done around 5 weeks after PCT.

    Your androgen receptors are never blocked up. They are refreshed every few minutes. The reason for the time off and recovery is so that your natural test production can get back to normal, among many other things.

    I've come to the theory with others that Tolerance build up to testosterone is really High levels of SHGB.

    There are many ways to lower SHGB.
    One of the more effective ones would be to run Insulin for a few weeks.

    For example in my current 12 week cycle.. I will start taking a little insulin in week 8 and run it thru PCT.

    i understand winstrol and proviron lower shbg levels respectively.

    @tcw,not sure why you ran cyp and sus,why not run one or the other.cyp would be slightly better than sus becuase of the long ester in sus,for a short cycle.prop would be ace.
