I understand trying to cut corners. Especially if you think it isn't "necessary". But even if the difference is only .01%, is it really worth risking? Think about how much time, money and pain is involved with treating an infection. Nevermind lost training time. Point being, I know lots of...

No, a .45 is not sufficient. Lots of heroine addicts use dirty needles and don't get HIV. Doesn't mean it's not necessary to ensure it. Besides, if you're working with large quantities, why are you fooling around with syringe filters?!

Sure. Save yourself 20 mins and risk having an unsterile product. Smh.

It'll depend on what size syringe you're using. But I'd say 10-15 mins for 20cc of total oil.

It's your body but I'm much more comfortable with it going thru a .22 You can attach them so it's only one time thru both. Why take a chance?

Agreed. Sounds like you blew the diaphragm in the filter. At least the housing didn't let go and you lost all your hard work. Re-filter with much less pressure. What size syringe are you using?

Simple. Stop using a pressure cooker. Crimped vials aren't designed to be put into pressure cookers.

Most people get overzealous and blow the diaphragm on the syringe filter. In the future, either use larger syringes (30-40cc) or just keep an eye on the filter. When it starts to swell, back off. I've filtered using 3cc syringes before to save my thumbs, and while it is much easier, it's not...

If you are filtering straight into a .22 be prepared for a long and slow process. If you have a .45 filter, run it thru that one first THEN into the .22. Also, make sure to heat it all up first with a water bath. Warm oil is MUCH easier to filter than cold oil. Trust. Don't use two 18s...

Yes, it's certainly possible, and more than likely what I'll end up doing. I'm not willing to sacrifice proper HPTA function for a summer of looking better. I'm just trying to determine the prudent limits of running one long cycle, and see if there are any other options available to me...

I guess this is more like what I'm asking. How long have you run them, and how much harder was recovery? Were you using Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) throughout, or just during PCT?

I undestand what you're saying. "Safe" is a relative term. My concern is how much more suppressive it would be on HPTA to run my current cycle for 20 weeks vs running something like the blast/cruise that was suggested to me. I know it's going to vary from person to person, but I don't plan...

It's the BEYOND 12 weeks that I'm asking about. How to bridge into another cycle more quickly than with 12 weeks off, or a safer way of continuing into another cycle without the break at all. Is it even possible?

Is it possible to safely extend a cycle beyond the "normal" 8-12 week? I'm currently in week 7 of my 600mg/wk Test-E cycle. I didn't see any real gains until week 5, when suddenly everything started happening. I had originally planned only running it 8 weeks, but now I'd like to extend that...

The oddest part is, erectile function is fine, it's simply the drive isn't quite there. I've checked to make sure everything is in working order, and it is. I would just like to have the desire back.
