The length of a steroid cycle depends on the compounds used, experience level, and goals. For beginners, a typical cycle lasts 8–12 weeks to balance results with manageable side effects. Here's why:
Note: Longer cycles require careful planning for post-cycle therapy (PCT) and monitoring of health markers to prevent long-term side effects.
- Beginner Cycles:
- A testosterone-only cycle (e.g., Enanthate or Cypionate) of 10–12 weeks is common due to its longer half-life, providing steady gains over time.
- Intermediate Cycles:
- More advanced users may run cycles up to 12–16 weeks with additional compounds, though risks increase with prolonged use.
- Short Cycles:
- 6–8 weeks for fast-acting compounds like Testosterone Propionate or oral steroids (e.g., Anavar).
Note: Longer cycles require careful planning for post-cycle therapy (PCT) and monitoring of health markers to prevent long-term side effects.
