Short cycle worth my time?

**curiouscat** · 08-30-2013, 01:22 PM

I'm looking to run a cycle. I have never run one before. I have 4 maybe 5 weeks for both cycle and pct as I am trying to avoid drug testing. The testing would potentially be 3 weeks after the 5 week cycle ended. Is it even worth my time or money to run a cycle? I'm 19, this would be my first cycle. I'm 6'5" 275 lbs at 21% body fat. I've been weightlifting for football for 2 years. My primary goal is strength gains. Any ideas?

Not worth it. Too much damage can occur at your age and your stats are not even remotely close to safe cycling anyway. I would spend all your time in the nutrition section. They can help you, guaranteed.

At 19 your natural testosterone is roaring!!! All you need is FOOD,,TRAINING,,REST and a ton of DEDICATION!!
Take advantage of your youth while you can.

Short cycles can work great, but you shouldn't eve be on gear at your age! Make the most of your body's natural test before you start cycling.

And even if you used short esters they would still show up a few weeks after your last injection.

So how long would it be until they wouldn't show up? the most common time frame for test prop that i have found is 2-3 weeks. I've also heard the rule of thumb is 4 to 5 times the half life.

19= way too young

It would depend on the compound: they're all different. I know that some compounds - regardless of ester - such as boldenone or nadrolone can remain detectable for months after ceasing use. I've never had to worry about drug testing, so I'm not sure, but I wouldn't risk it anyway. Do a search for 'steroid detection times' and you'll find what you're looking for.

However, you are still too young!

Ok thanks for the help guys. austinite i have to credit your sticky with all those great articles on me not doing a cycle until i'm ready. this forum is great with a lot of great info and great vets. thanks again.

One question though. when you mentioned my stats weren't close I assume you meant my body fat percentage?

No way. like others said. To young, cycle to short to do anything. Your BF% is way too high. You will just get high Estrogen sides and probably some Gyno. Do not try this bud. ...crazy mike
