I hope yall don't get tired of me posting questions but you guys are like a family that I believe in and trust. as more members come on board I wont ask as much and I will try to help others from what I have learned. With that being said-

How long is to long for a test only cycle. Test at 500mgs per week. And I mean long as in safe. So I can still pct and wont stay shut down.

Man you're crazy. Ask all the questions you want!

Every body is different. You can get shut down on 6 weeks of Test and some people can go 24 weeks and recover fine.

I have been reading around and people are saying that 12-14 weeks minimum on Test cycle. That is 3 months minimum. So people that are doing 6 month Test cycles and recovering must have it spot on.

I agree with Georgia,14-18 weeks is what most do thats not on trt.Just remember the most important thing,the longer you stay on,the harder and longer it is to recover

I just came of a 24 week cycle of test/deca....but im on trt,and i kept up with my blood test alot

I am leaning towards a 16 week test only cycle. So sounds like I'm safe.

Georgia I have to tell you that your name has screwed my head all up. I am a huge old school country western lover and every time i see your name the willie nelson song "georgia" plays over and over in my head. i catch myself singing it at freaking work.

ya your fine with 16 weeks. Most people dont have to worry about not recovering from test only. Test is easy on the hpta and fairly easy to recover from. You could probably run a 30 week test only cycle and be fine...if not there is always dr scally :)

and never worry about asking questions bro...how do you think we learned alot of what we did?

I have enough for a 20 week cycle but I know that every bottle will be a little short so i figure 16- 18 weeks. I just didn't want to quit at 12 if I was still gaining but I don't want to take a chance of shutting down either.

I get what your saying but in all reality you risk shutting yourself down with just one pin...but the chances are not great

i assess things as i go.....sometimes im not doin all that hot and need to end things at 12.,13...others went to 18.


guys go a lot higher than 500mg for 4,5...7 months, but how many of those are guys fucked downstairs...?? tough to say, but when you put it into retrospect what some get away with and what the majority do it nuts.


how many times is this for you?? most guys go longer and longer each run

This will be number 4. but with that being said I took 9 yrs off. 9yrs off steroids. I also took 6 yrs out of the gym. been back in the gym a little over 2 yrs now. I ran that one z cycle (im pct'ing from now) but I didn't gain a single pound from it. So wouldn't it be almost like I have never done a cycle? I was wanting to run 16week test. Then 2 test deca cycles, then if I feel ready I want to try a tren cycle. If I can get that to work out I want to compete in a show. Not looking to be mr olympia just get on stage and see where I stand against the younger guys. I would rather change up compounds than run higher doses.

IMO your blood work is the only thing that can really answer this question. And as far as recovery its a crap shoot. A lot is up to the individual's own ability to recover.
