4 more weeks on test?

[Ferdinand]

Am 8 weeks into my Test-E 500mg/w cycle.
Things are going fine, BP is fine, gains are good and i feel great.
No sides exept a couple small acnes.

Would it be fine for me to maybe increase it from 12 weeks to 16 weeks?

Or is this a bad idea, and why?

if you are still gaining, I don't think it's a problem. Otherwise, I wouldn't advise it. Just keep in mind you will have to take more time off though

Ye, if am doing 16 weeks ill be finished in May, then am planning on staying off in june, july, august and start up again late in sept if BW is fine...

[AlphaMaleDawg]

that sounds alright if you get the bw done and it's all good. But it only makes sense if you are still seeing gains. otherwise its a waste of time and gear

On a side note, I wanted to start another cycle early and got bw and it wasnt normal yet so I had to wait another couple of months. it sucked man

Yeh mate keep the ball rolling if your gaining ,also interesting to see just how much you gain between weeks 12-16

This may sound dumb as I am no pro but if you are planning on driving to new york would you keep going to Maine? You do not have to gain it all in one cycle. be realistic about your goals and do not push yourself forward for minimal gains.

Your already shut down. If your making gains and sides are at a minimum a couple extra weeks is fine. Make sure your pct is sorted out and follow it to a T. Follow up with bloodwork.

Spartan, I disagree if you have a plan u should stick to it. Once you start to deviate your view becomes biased and u see want u want to see. That being said Ferdinand do as you will best of luck. In imho stick with the plan

[wheninrome]

Not quite understanding the stick with the plan thinking. No offense but sounds a bit anal to me..

If the gains are still progressing well and he is not seeing sides why wouldn't he continue for a couple of weeks? He's not talking about cycling for the year.

A cycle doesn't have to be set in stone if you are safe and knowledgeable about the effects of changing the cycle and have the right gear AND are also willing to take the proper amount of time off after. Why not pack on as much lean muscle as possible and then use the down time to refine it?

[cobra305]

Just saying if u deviate once you will do so again, I do not believe the risk is worth the reward! is 2 pounds worth it? no not at all. but to each their own and that being said do as u will. good luck brother

First cycle, I take it? Your gains will likely start plateauing soon (I've never heard of anyone progressing that long on a set dose), so there would be more harm than benefit in adding another 4 weeks.
On my first test E cycle (400mg/week for 11 weeks), the majority of my gains came between weeks 3-7 (I front-loaded). Maybe I could have kept them up longer had I eaten more.

Thanks for your opinions all.

I will run as planned, and if i still see gains in week 12 i will continue it for few more weeks.
