2nd cycle.. getting conflicting opinions... i need some advice

[Ramaudio_inc]

Stats:
32yrs
6'4"
228lbs
about 14% (I was 12% before I started)

1st Cycle
4wks Dbol 50/mg/day
10wks 500 test E/wk

so far I'm up about 22lbs (im in week 4)
little to no sides (nuts shrank... a little aggresion.. thats about all..)
very moderate water retention.. not puffy.. lost definition but nothing big..

I have been told to make it atleast 12wks.. if not 16wks since it is going so well.. whats your opinion??

ALSO

2nd cycle
how long do I wait to start my 2nd cycle?.. right after PCT?
whats a good 2nd cycle.. i keep getting told.. "do tren and test".. but i want a better opinion.. the guy giving advice is a friend and he's a BIG dude.. and has experience with this stuff... but I wouldnt call him a rhodes scholar... if you know what I mean...

BTW I really appreciate all the advice I've gotten on here.. you guys made this real easy.. and hopefully very safe

12 weeks is fine. No need to go run it 16 weeks.

What's your planned PCT?

Usual recommendation is time on + pct = time off. But you should get bloodwork a 5-6 weeks after PCT to confirm.

You don't need tren for your second cycle. Save that for down the road.

For PCT I am running precisely what was recomended in the "beginners cycle" sticky up top.. I believe nolva and letro... (on my crackberry so i cant see)
definetly doing bloodwork 6wks out.. had it 2 days before started also..

i was thinking that tren might not be needed... what do you recomend for cycle #2??

i think you meant clomid and nolvadex, as far as second cycles go if you had good sucess with test why not just stick with it untill something else is needed.

1-12 weeks is very good for a first cycle
2-u should rest atleast the same time u spent in cycle+pct
(i myself make 1 cycle/year and i find it quite enough)
