Cycle length with various esters

[Far from massive]

Hello all,

I just read a post by a new user planning a first cycle using Test E, 400mg week. He was advised to run the cycle for a minimum of 10 weeks as he would be unlikely to see any big gains till week 7 of the cycle.

My question is my friend and I are just getting ready to run Test P cycles, It will be my second cycle and his first (other than him dabbling in the 90s, no real cycles) so with the shorter ester will it be needed to run a cycle longer than 8 wks to achieve good gains? It just seems that if we can get good benefits from an 8 week cycle that suppression should be less damaging and PCT easier?

PS His dosage will also be around 400-450mg week, mine probably 600mg week I will be pinning daily, he may be pinning every other day.

Thanks,
FFM

It's more like 4 weeks with (good) Enanthate . With prop, it will be fully kicking within 2 weeks.
