Can I extend my 500mg test c cycle 4 more weeks?

[tarmyg]

So when should I start cutting after the cycle? On ptc or right after my last shot? I'm sorry is the question is lame. I'm genuinely asking.

You would want to change to eating at maintenance after the PCT is done and then keep that up for a few weeks (I am arbitrarily saying 6-8 weeks here). You would NOT want to cut without gear. While gear is great for bulking I can not overstate how important it would be to use while cutting to preserve muscle mass.

I was planning to stay away for gear for 4 months and then start my 2nd cycle bulking. But now you're saying I gotta cut on the juice. So after my 12 weeks+pct is on maintenance leven when it comes to eating (for how long again?) and then what? When should I start cutting?

Ok, can you see how this answer is confusing in combination with the other information you have given? You want to start cutting at 12-weeks in your first cycle which you want to extend to 16-weeks and then bulk again after staying away from AAS for 4-months. This might not be the most optimal way forward! Here is a schedule you can follow that you would have to modify if things are not working the way you want. You do need patience!

Current Cycle
Weeks 1-12 Bulk 500mg/wk of Test eating at 250kcal over maintenance
Weeks 13-29 Cruise on 200mg/wk of Test eating at your new maintenance (recalculate based on new muscle mass)
Weeks 30-42 Bulk on 750mg/wk of Test eating at 250kcal over maintenance.

Where are you based? Not country but city!

I didn't know you could actually extent test for 30 weeks in a row! (?) I know after the first 12 weeks is a lower dose, but still.. Or maybe I'm not understanding?
And 750mg test isn't too much? That means I'm not cutting neither unless I'm cutting fat at the maintenance level.
Again, for 40weeks with no pct?

I apologize if I'm sounding like an ass. I am new to this and maybe I'm not understanding.

What “extending” the cycle means or what we generally say is blast and cruise. Blast is where you are bulking or cutting and, generally, on a higher dosage. As one can not blast indefinitely (at least not without some consequences) we go to the second part, cruise. This is where you lower the dosage. AFAIK most people cruise around 200-250mg of test per week. You essentially do a rinse and repeat of this for as long as you wish, many do so for life. This is a much more effective way of cycling AAS that will protect your muscle gains to a higher degree. There is no end, you just keep going and as you gain more experience you can test new compounds during your blast but the cruise will always be the same. Makes sense?

It's making sense. Now my question is when should I cut? I have a high fat % right now. Maybe after 16 week from last blast injection?

Sure. That seems reasonable but try to use this time to clean up the diet. That alone with more muscles will help you look better.
