how long is too long?

[dumbtoad]

Now I'm well aware that just starting a cycle shuts down your natural productions and the longer you go, the more it takes to bounce back. I'm halfway through a 12 week cycle and am considering lengthening it. How long can you cycle without major problems? How long do you vets run a cycle?

everyone is different. Are you using hcg?
Alot of us vets are on trt or cruise now.

12-16 weeks is enough for me. I have ran longer cycles in the past but the gains are minimal imo. And recovery was a real bitch for me.

Yes, using hcg. Is the trt required, a choice, or both? Not so sure my doc would be willing to put me on trt.

How was recovery affected? Longer pct?

i know how you feel bro but its way worth it if you take time off to recover then jump back on!!

The problem with "when's too long?" is that when you find out, it's too late. There are general guidelines for duration depending on the AAS and the ester. The body of knowledge has come together and come up with some durations. I guess you can push the limits but why? You can always cycle again. One thing I've learned from the vets on this board is that they're really conscientious about safety of the athlete. They definitely flame people but mostly it's for their own good.

Couldn't agree more which is why I asked. I'm going to stick with my twelve weeks then hit it again in 6 months.
