first cycle... should I extend it?

[mlifter]

First cycle of Test cyp, 500mg per week, 2x/week pinning. Last pin had to do 375mg to finish off bottle. It was supposed to last 10 weeks, but only ended up being 8 weeks worth. Weight gain happened rather quickly (bout 15 lbs), however strength gains came along slower than expected, but has REALLY come on the last two weeks.... I was wondering if its worth it for me to extend it another 2-4 weeks? I kinda feel like I was really just starting to notice things, and could gain more if I added a few more weeks? No noticeable sides really at all either... thoughts?

If its the only thing your taking I would run for another 4 weeks.... its hard to say I have always taken 2 min different types of gear and 12-14 weeks min

 

[mlifter]

yea its test only, just thought id get some advice first before investing a little more money.

 

[Oz_82]

ya I would go for a little longer because if you just starting to notice it then is at it peak keep it there for a bit then stop I would even go for up to 20 weeks max.... make sure u do a post cycle therapy (pct) get your natural test back or you will loss a lot of what you gain.

20 weeks on a first cycle? I had planned on it being 10 weeks, but since the bottle didnt last as long as I had anticipated I was considering an additional couple of weeks.

Yea my idea for post cycle therapy (pct) is Nolva 40/40/20/20 but I am beginning to think I should add clomid in the mix as well... any suggestions?

I'd say keep it for 2-4 more weeks as well. I know it's your first cycle of Test C, but if it's your 1st cycle overall I'd do 12. If you've used before, I'd go w/ 14.

agreed at least another 4 weeks buddy 12 wk cycle is good for the first better if your only running test too !!! keeps an eye on your sides know tho if you didnt get at the start of your cycle you may get em towards the end ! if not all stoked ! i got mine mid cycle... imo i would hit some clom for post cycle therapy (pct) too....... good luck champ !

12 14 16..incrementally extending it..why not..no majic number..if your feeling it NOW ride it out another a month...and enjoy it.
1 st post cycle therapy (pct) ? Why double up ? Save your money and the gear imo..start piling up your stash so you have 1, 2, 3 cycle s and all the other..ready to go.

I would even go for up to 20 weeks max....

Not very good advice for someone running their first cycle.

Do extend this for an other 4 weeks. you said you made it to 8 weeks run it to 12
14 max for the first time.
this is the most critical time and where you will get the most bang for the bucks. increase the food intake and water. you'll be haqppy you did.

Thanks for the advises guys, just re-upped, although different ugl, ill post results in about a month!

Also, im getting confused as to whether a Nolva only PCT will suffice, my other option was to add Clomid to it, but ive heard its unnecessary... any other opinions?

Nolva and clomid. Clomid is shown to stimulate HPTA.

also, I typically do my pin Sun and Weds. I only got to do Sunday this week at 375mg to finish off the bottle... Since I have more now, should i pin tonight, and resume my regular pining schedule on Sunday?

 

[Teutonic]

Irrelevant..really...I would but really..whatever..
What did you eat today and are you gonna sleep enough tonite ?? THOSE are as important..really..

 

[mlifter]

yeah ive been eating a good amount, i just didnt know if i should consistently pin the same amout of test per week, didnt know if missing a pin makes a difference
