10 weeks vs 12 weeks vs 15 weeks - hpta suppression?

**johnnymctrance** · 11-09-2013, 06:46 AM

Hi,

What are the differences in degrees of hpta suppression running for example

A 10 week test e cycle

A 12 week test e cycle

A 12 week cycle consisting of 10weeks test e + 2 weeks test p

Or a 15 week cycle test e??

I know that the longer you are shut down the worse it gets

But im asking this because it seems to be very common to do a 10 or 12 week cycle, but a 15 week cycle seems to be 'alot' worse.. is the extra 2/3 weeks of shutdown really make a huge difference to hpta suppression??

IMO opinion when you start you want to begin with the basic time to see how ou react.

If you feel great 1 week into PCT and BW post pct show everything is alright. then you can think of being on for a bit longer.

if you have difficulty recovering, short cycle may be to try.

plus, 12 week test-e is where your gain slow down... like with prop, after 8 week gain slow down.

its only a base line, try it abd see where you stand.

If you a running a test only cycle 12 weeks is perfect.

You are still very young and your body has just matured, It is better to stay with the standard of 12 weeks so you aren't shut down too long.

The difference between 10 and 12 weeks , IMOP, is it will take the first 4 wks (month) to get going strong and then you have a full (2) two more months of gain. not just 6 weeks. You can maximize you gains better with the two weeks after the 10th. ...crazy mike

After 12 weeks gains diminish from test. Hypothetically, if you were stacking with another long estered aas; ie DECA , I would extend the test. And that is to reap the benefits of the other compound and still be supplementing with the exogenous test.

That's the best explanation I got lol. This is with test e or c by the way not prop.
