I'm on Test Prop. now and been on it for over 18 weeks now. 50 mg/ED unbelievable gains, just great.
The difference between 8 weeks and 12 weeks is excatly like the difference between doing a cycle or not.
8 weeks is barely enough to start seeing the REAL solid muscle gains, although it is a fast acting Test, 8 weeks is just not enough. In my own opinion, a low dose cycle and longer term (min. 12 weeks, I always advocate for 16-24).
In his case as a 1st timer 12-16 weeks is a wise choice. Doing 350 mg/week, rather than 500/week over 8 weeks of a longer ester which will diffentley accumulate water retention and bloat him like a baloon.
So I think it is smarter to get leaner gains and less side effects by doing lower dose over longer period of time.
