Choosing a cycle length and steroid type, what are the reasons for both?

[Far from massive]

Hello all,

I am a newbie and just curious, I see a lot of people talking about 8-16 wk cycles as well as the usage of short and long esters within different cycles. What are the reasons for various cycle lengths and when is it desirable to use a long ester and long cycle vs a short ester and short cycle?

Thanks to all who reply.

Simple, long ester = less pinning = longer cycles (generally).

If you do not mind ED or EOD pins, then go short.
