    Depends on the time of year, my goals and schedule...I prefer short 8 week cycles but sometimes run long esters at 12-14 weeks!

    8 weeks with short esters, hence no bridging into PCT.

    I like 1 long cycle and 1 short cycle per year. Long being 16 weeks w/long esters, and short being 8 weeks w/short ester.

    On average i say 8-12 weeks is plenty for most with 8 weeks being the minumum.

    I love the lengthy blast & cruise. I've been blasting & cruising for almost a year now, when I hit the one year mark I will cruise for 3 months at a TRT dose & then hit it again. I have never seen such astonishing & consistent gains, I'll never cycle the "old fashioned"way again.

    but your endogenous test production is irreversible screwed, isn't it? or could you go back to live normal without TRT???

    I have recently learned that myostatin IS NOT a factor in muscle growth. Or at least enough of a factor to even bother taking the so called inhibiting effects into consideration.

    There is no doubt I will be on TRT whenever I decide to come off, & I've accepted that long before I made the decision to blast & cruise, I weighed the pros & cons for a long time before pulling the trigger, and honestly,I don't mind TRT, I don't mind having the testosterone levels ofa 15 - 20 year old kid for the rest of my life.

    Hey stpete I made the decision last week when I found out that I had more gear than I was aware of that I would keep my status quo and continue to do the full 16 week cycle. I'm close to the end of week 11. I have my PCT planned and meet with my doc next Wed.

    I've been considering going this route myself, what does your doseing protocal look like for the year ? If you don't mind me asking?

    Anyone that wants to know my doses should PM me, my current doses are so insanely high I won't post them on the open forum for fear of setting a bad example for the lesser experienced & under 25's

    lol............Thanx Lunk. And yes Gents, he's right, I intend to claim the worlds strongest man title in the very near future. I'm not doing this to look good at the beach or on a cruise or in the bedroom.
