How long is too long ?

[privy22]

What is the longest possible cycle one would advise for running test only ? Would 20 weeks be too much ? 16 weeks even seems good but I want to make sure first off.

what dose? I would say shorter the duration the better.

and what kind of test? You have to remember 20 weeks could actually mean 22 weeks if the ester is long enough. Depends.

“They” usually say 12 weeks because that’s the optimal amount of time frame for the esters to saturate before your body gets used to it. A decoanate ester could be run for that long of time (20 weeks) but you also gotta consider your body’s shut down and how long it would take to “reset”. Unless you are on trt, I would say nah, 20 weeks is too excessive. My anecdotal opinion.

In my opinion, sixteen weeks is the absolute longest that one should stay on cycle, and even that should only be if one is running say, EQ, and it simply takes that long for one to shred and harden. I shred and harden rather easily - never having to run a cutting cycle for more than twelve weeks. But I do understand the need of some to go as long as sixteen weeks. But, please, do yourselves a huge favor by never exceeding sixteen weeks. It is simply too hard on the body.

That reminds of the time my mom said, "Ward, don't you think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night?"

I don't recommend running cycles longer then 16 weeks. Recovery really starts to become an issue once you push your cycle duration past that point

I would to know how old r u?

Why run any dose as long as you can? Why not run a short cycle to get good results?

Precisely! Can you say "diminishing returns"?

i have looked at more blood work than anyone in this industry over the years. my analysis is simple:

you want to keep a healthy HPTA? keep your cycles 10-12 weeks max. "but steve my meathead friend says long esters should be ran longer for best results!" well that might be true in some respects but do we want to wreck the HPTA or not? if you don't care and plan on going on TRT anyway soon then go for it.. otherwise listen to me

If one must ask “is this too long”, “ I wonder if this is too much”.

Guess what? You answered your own question.

I very often find myself asking those very questions. But then I quickly change the subject to something AAS-related.

Be an AAS idiot and abuse the fuck out of them and you’ll end up on TRT for life like some of us. Cycle smart and use PCT smart.

did you use it before?

Me? I’ve used damn near everything in my 50 years. Lol

You can do whatever you want but no need to go more than 12 weeks. You will just end up with recovery issues by running long cycles.
