Switching from Short to Long Acting

[Omnivus]

I heard from some where that its good to start with a short acting steroid like Test Prop, then a few weeks in you can switch to a longer acting steroid like Test Enanthate.

Has anyone done this? If so, how well did it work? If you wouldn't do this, can you say why? Thanks.

I haven;t heard about switching outright but i do know that many use the prop as a kick start while the long esters are taking effect. Many use it like dbol for the first four weeks until the E starts to kick in. It is also useful to throw in during the two week lag before PCT so there is still test in your system instead of barely any...

Cool, thanks for the reply Magicstick. I guess it would be easier if I just explained my cycle plan. In the past I've used mostly Cypionate, Sustanon, Deca, and Anadrol. I have used others, but the majority has been these four. This time around I am going to be using steroids I've never tried before. I got the cycle idea from this board actually. http://www.steroid.com/intermediatecycle2.php

I changed it around slightly to fit the gear that I can get. Mostly the change is dosage. I wanted to go Test Prop for the first 6 weeks, then Test Enanthate for the last 6 weeks. I heard this gives you a kickstart in a way that I haven't tried before.

But wouldn't I have to actually overlap them? Say Test Prop weeks 1-7 and Test Enanthate weeks 6-12. So weeks 6 & 7 they actually overlap each other, allowing me to get the benefit of them both before the first is discontinued. Also, instead of Arimidex I will be using Letrozole.

So I'm starting out with a short ester then switching to a long ester, but allowing them two weeks together so they can pass the torch. What do you think?

Also, what would advise for post cycle therapy? I'm looking for advice on that too since these are steroids I havent used before. I was thinking HCG, Nolvadex, and Clenbuterol. I was also told to use T3 with Trenbolone Acetate to prevent raising your prolactin levels. That I also read here and some other places. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you want to run prop that long I would just use the prop. Or prop 1-4 and E 1-12. Weeks 6-12 in your plan are pointless as Enan takes that long to work in some. I would just run prop 1-10.

i would do prop 1-4 and test e 1-12, or frontload test e the first week, or run prop the entire cycle. it's pointless to switch from prop to a long ester test cause the whole point of the long esters is that it takes a while for they kick in.

I understand what you guys are saying, and I appreciate it. It looks like I will have to put off my cycle until I can come up with enough Test Enanthate to last 12 weeks. Oh well.

Thanks for the great information guys.

good idea man.. if you have enough for 6 weeks whats the problem getting it for 6 more? it's best to wait till you have everything you need prior to starting.
