*Watching this thread*

I'm in week 8 and was considering extending to 14 weeks instead of 10-12 cause it took so damn long for my shit to kick in.

IMO end it. As good as you feel you probly won't see any phyiscal changes in that time but you will shut yourself down further. I've realized the best thing you can do is set a goal (weight gains, strength...) and once it's reached end the cycle. Overdoing it does more harm than good & means a longer wait till the next cycle.

Soo true... my last cycle with test c and i ran it too long and didnt really see any more results besides strength obviously and now im having to wait like 3 1/2 months b4 i start my next.

Besides that it will shut you down harder and will be harder to come back. Took me almost 1 1/2 mos to make a recovery on my test levels.

In the end... NOT WORTH IT

Where did you hear this? I don't know about you, but I only do 16 week cycles and I get gains the whole way. I also recover easily and keep all of my gains without any side effects or problems. I'm not saying this goes for everybody, but saying gains stop at week 8 is crazy. Who knows, you could be right, but I never met anyone who stopped gaining after only 8 weeks.

Theres nothin crazy bout stopping a cycle short.

there is one fact that is certain.. the longer your down the longer it takes to recover.. period. A short cycle is ideal for someone with lesser genetics because they will not have such a hard time recovering and alot of times recovery= loss of mass

I didnt say stop gaining at week 8,I said gains peak around week 8 and slightly decline and rise back to peak levels around 20.
I never said you stop gaining at 8,you totaly mis quoted me.
