whats the average length for a propionate only cycle ??

[hillbill78]

is 8 -12 weeks a good length to run a propionate cycle ?

8 weeks is the norm i have heard of people running it for 10 but longer will yield sides and no gains

^^^^interesting. chalk it up to scientific experience, but I didnt realize that the propionate ester played a factor in sides. if this is true, then why can enanthate & cypionate esters be run for 14-18 weeks? my understanding is that if blood levels are kept consistent, for the duration of the cycle, then it can be run for the same length as e & c.

i think its more a matter of can you handle injecting every day or every other day and can you find enough injection spots to keep it going cus eventually you will build up scare tissue in the injection sites if you keep using the same spots and it becomes increasingly painfull...its best to spread the sites around a lot imho....

6-8 weeks priming a head of time.

marcus300 has a great post about priming look it up.

I've run prop in 3 cycles. For me, I found that I was most satisfied with a short 4 or 5 week cycle while running a higher weekly dose.
