Can you run Prop for 12 weeks or should it be switched out?

[PistolPete33]

I was originally planning on doing an 8 week Prop cycle but decided to extend it to at least 12 weeks. I'm currently on TRT so being shutdown is not an issue. I've been doing 100mg/EOD of Prop along with 80mg/day Anavar and my current TRT Test C dose of 200mg/week. Taking HCG and Anastrozole as well.

I've decided to extend my cycle but I'm not sure if I should stick with Prop (dropping the Anavar after week 6) with the EOD injections for 12 weeks or drop the Prop after the 8 weeks and just run a higher dose of Test C for the additional 4-8 weeks? I like the idea of just doing the Test C because I would only be injecting twice/week as opposed to 4 times/week and I do get some PIP from the Prop which I don't from Test C. If I switch to Test C only I would run it at 500 or 600mgs/week.

The reason I originally chose Prop was to help with leaning up and I'm not sure if I drop that and just run Test C if that will cause me to hold more water. Not looking to add a ton of size with this cycle and I've had steady gains (approx. 4 lean pounds and lessed fat at week 4). Also, since I'm already taking Test C would my body absorb the higher amounts right away if I switch or would it be 2-3 weeks before it does?

Thanks in advance,
Pistol

You can. Won't get much out of it. Kind of a waste.

uff I don't know if its genetically releated, but if I hold water with an ester, its because i don't take enough AI.
I mean, you can take Test E, and totally kill your estrogen with an AI, and have the same result as propionate

[PistolPete33]

Why would it be a waste? Thanks.

I run prop for 12 weeks every time and continue to gain until the end of cycle

[austinite]

Waste of money. Any gains you'll get after 8-10 weeks will be weak and not worth it. Doesn't matter what anyone claims. And most certainly a complete waste at those doses. You'd have to hit high doses to see decent progress.

Would the same be said for switching over to Test C after the 8 weeks? I value your advice which is why I ask. Not being rude just trying to learn as much as possible.

[austinite]

I don't think you're being rude at all, lol..

Ideally you would have used Test C from the beginning and possibly used prop as a kick starter. But At this stage you won't gain much unless you introduce another oral.

Very interesting.... I'm not going to be adding another Oral so I guess I'm running this for 8 weeks. I will prob. do another cycle again next year at some point but it will be a few month away for obvious reasons. When I drop back down to my TRT dose should I taper it down or just go right back to my regular dose?

If you're on TRT, give your body a break for a month and run it again.

There's no need to taper down doses.

[PistolPete33]

If I wait a month and restart again should I run the same cycle or should I mix it up? Not sure if I would want to run Anavar again as I'm not too keen on the oral thing for obvious reasons.

If you got good results, sure, why not. Try Tbol. A lot more fun than anavar

How would you recommend running the TBol? 8 weeks at 40mgs/day? For the next cycle would you recommend upping the Prop a bit or keep it where it's currently at with 100/mg EOD?

[austinite]

I run it at 60mg for 4 to 6 weeks. Certainly increase prop. 100mg is a weak dose. 150 minimum.

When you mention the 150 minumum EOD is that in addition to the 200mg of Test C that I'm already taking or if taking Prop only?

[austinite]

No, why run test C alongside prop? If you're going to run prop as a kicker, you'd run it for about 4 weeks while you're injecting E or C for 12.

Honestly man, I'd completely forget about this whole deal. Just pick an ester and use it.

[PistolPete33]

I only ask because I'm currently on TRT at 200mg/week and I was planning on keeping that dose and adding something into the mix....

"into the mix"

What does this phrase mean exactly?

I'm planning on keeping my TRT dose and adding the Test Prop to my TRT Protocol. I'm currently taking 200mg/Test C per week and 100mgs/Test Prop EOD. If I bump up to 150mg/EOD of Prop should I drop the Test C?

[austinite]

No, you don't keep the TRT dose. You drop TRT and return to it after your cycle. The only time it makes sense to keep TRT dose if is you don't plan on increasing test.

Awesome. That makes life so much easier. Thank you.
