    long esters and cycle timing question

    I have a question that has confused me since planning my next cycle. I mst say after all my reading that I am still confused about long estered steroids . I am interested in running deca or EQ- with test propionate of course-so does this mean that the deca or EQ until wont worked until the ester is cleaved off? Ive read that decanoate or undecanate is supposed to last for 3-4 weeks so that means none of the boldenone or nandrolone will start working for 3-4 weeks? I may not be wording this right but does anyone get what Im saying? Thanks in advance for any help on this and I apologize if my wording is awkward.

    Most long esters take about 4-6 weeks to kick in.

    I am not sure when I should change my current diet to my 'on' cycle..I mean, when using deca or EQ, does it start working immediately or only when the ester is detatched does is start working...should I wait 3-4 weeks to start my prop? I want the prop and the EQ to work at the same time

    thanks bro but does that mean that absolutely none of the compound starts working until the ester is cleaved off? In this case 3-4 weeks in decas or EQ's case?

    I only use short esters. For me, the prop usually kicks in with in a week or two. From my understanding Deca usually takes around 5 weeks to kick in.

    Do you already have all of these compounds on hand? If not, you can run Prop and NPP(short ester deca), and they will both kick in quick.

    It takes between 3-6 week for blood levels to get stable. That is when you start to really notice the gains.

    Ideally you should match esters, if ypu were to run deca and prop for instance, I would stop the deca at least 4 weeks before stopping the prop. Kick-in is only one issue, you don't want to stop them at the same time and have the prop clear in a couple days while the deca would take weeks to clear.

    great advice guys and thank you for that. decisions, decisions... well if I am dead set on running the prop, could anyone suggest a good alternative to nandrolone ? My goals are to gain lbm and Im not interested in huge strength or weight gains. Its been 4 years since I ran my last cycle which consided of sust at 500mg/week, EQ at 400/week, and injectable winny at 50 mg eod
