6 week cycle vs 12 week cycle?

[Woollster00]

This is just a general question and no i am not a steroid user nor am i thinking about using them anytime soon but i have a few friends i train with who use them who are not members on this forums but basically 1 of my friends says he thinks 12 weeks is better with 1 injection per week as it's in your system for longer whereas the other friend says 6 weeks with 2 injections per week is better because you're getting it into your system quicker and it's safer because you're doing it for a shorter duration so there is less side effects they both cycle similar things test cyp and deca but one takes dianobol for 6 weeks too the one who does the 12 week cycle and the other just does test and deca for 6 weeks. Again this is purely research and it's not to do with me so please don't flame i'm not an idiot or thinking about doing any cycles as i am researching like i am doing now.

Its obvious that your friends need to educate themselves about AAS. Average cycle is about 12 weeks. dose etc. depends on cycle experience and goals.

Some compounds are used for shorter duration such as orals to front load a cycle but this would be for more experienced users as well as running additional compounds along with a base of testosterone. There are many variables and variations so the answer to your question is not cut and dry.

At no time is it recommended to use AAS before the age of 25 as you can do irritable damage to the endocrine system.

Taking 12 shots over a 6 week period instead of over a 12 week period doesn't necessarily means that it will work faster. Much of the metabolic absorption of the AAS depends on the binding ester. If your buddy wants fast acting Test tell them to shoot Test suspension. They have to shoot it 2 to 4 times a day but it will work fast. Like fit says, there are too many variables to draw a hasty conclusion. There's a lot of info on this board. Read and learn.

Personally if you plan on doing multi cycles I think a faster ester is best. Running 8wks of Test P, then PCT time then you can get right back on. Better results imo and also means you stay strick on your diet and training.

Again this is just my thoughts.

[Woollster00]

Well they're both too young to be doing it they're both 21 ones been training 4 years (the one who is doing the long cycle with the dbols) and the other has been doing it 2 years and he's (the one doing 2 a week without d bol) is it safer to do it 2x a week and a shorter cycle though? and yes there is a wealth of information to sift through on this forums and i am enjoying reading it all.

It depends what compounds you're using. The shorter your cycle the easier it will be to recover. Short esters for short cycles and long esters for prolonged cycles.

^^^^ This. That's what i do anyway.

[Woollster00]

Ok thanks for the information and it's 400ml of cypionate mixed with deca 400 i think not sure some form of deca anyway

[stpete]

Those two are mixed together?

Or did you mean combined with? And you don't know if it's deca or npp?

[JohnnnyBlazzze]

Well since you have long esters you would be wasting your gear if you were to run those less the 10+ weeks IMO.

Depends on what compounds they are using and if they know what a comma is

I couldn't tell you mate i'm no expert i just seen the bottles saying deca and test cyp

well with that said then the dude thats doing it for 12 weeks will see far better results then the dude thats running long esters for only 6 weeks...the test and deca wont even start to be effective for at least 4-5 weeks so that guy is shutting the cycle down just when its starting to become effective so he is doing it wrong imho...that was the question right? which way of the 2 protocols where better?...

[fit2bOld]

So go for the longer cycle, I hope you boys have pct in place and an AI on hand for sides. If not I guess we will be explaining that to you next.

Yep this is the answer i was looking for pretty much thanks

They have liver cleansing tablets and both using nolvadex for pct and 1 of them running hcg for 1 or 2 weeks can't remember
