Short Cycles, A Few Questions

[mr.question]

I cant find much info on short cycyles and would appriciate answers to any of my questions:

1. Short cycles w/long acting esters(test e, cyp., deca, ect.) or with short esters?

2. What are suggested durations and doseages?

3. Should you run normal pct?

What I was considering running a short cycle that was designed by Author L.Rea. It was Test E., and Deca for eight on Then pct w/ hcg and nova. This is only an idea and I wanted some of your opinions.

My goal is to not have too noticable gains or at least stretch my gains out a bit.

i prefer short esters. But longer esters can be done also even though you need really high dosages then. If you are new to steroids and still want to do a short cycle stay away from longer esters.

2. What are suggested durations and doseages?

Depends on the person you are listening to . Durations vary from 2 weeks to 6 weeks. I keep my short cycles to 4 weeks and extend them to 6 weeks if i feel testicular atrophy hasn't begun yet.

3. Should you run normal pct?

Defintaly.

when i think of short cycles i think 4 weeks and short acting gear. Such as test suspension, winnie, tren, cycle or replace the winnie with a-bombs to make it more of a bulker. Its gonna be alot of injections to

d-bolz + test suspension = KILLEERRRRRR ! !

With short cycles short ester's or long ester can be used, when long ester's are used the dose as to be large to get the benefit and this is normally done by very experienced BB's who know how their body's react to certain compounds and have a vast cycle history, normally short esters are used with the majority of short cycles,

Dosages are a very individual thing when it comes to short cycles, the whole idea is to shock the body into growth and keep the sides to a minimum and recover fast, personally i would judge the dose of a short cycle by the Bodybuilders cycle/dosage history, so this can have a vast difference between individuals,

Duration is a bit of a trial and error, i like doing short cycles around 30 days, this for me is ideal for excellent growth and minimum sides and recovery is fast, some extend this time to 6 weeks and some run shorter cycles around 14-21 days, i would say go with a planned cycle and if the gains are continuing then stay on for another wk and then re-valuate when gains have slowed down,

PCT should be run and stopped when you have recovered, many experience fast recovery and many don't again its down to the individual, pct is exactly the same as another cycle stay on till fully recovered but i would say the recovery will be faster than normal,

ONE very important thing with any cycle especially short cycles is to run a prime before the cycle for at least 6-8 weeks, this will put your body into a prime position and a very anabolic environment to make very fast muscle tissue gains for when you start the cycle, i cant express this enough how important this is to short cycling, Ive seen many people gain huge amounts when this is done correctly.
