Question about Test Prop

[huffy80]

I haven't really found the answer to this in threads.....

Why is prop generally only run for 8 weeks or so vs longer for E and C. I realize that it "kicks" in sooner, so the working weeks of the test would be about equal, but doesn't the fact that the long ester is already in your body mean it's working/affecting your body/lipids/hair etc. already? I realize the pinning ED or EOD might factor into this, but is there some other reason for shorter cycles on Prop?

From my pov it is said that your best gains are achieved in the first 8 weeks that the steroid is being effective. So someone may do only a quick cycle in that way to limit shut down length. To get hpta working normal again faster.

Maybe the real question I'm wondering about is, would an 8 week prop cycle have less effect on hair loss than a 12 week E cycle? I realize this may seem like a completely dumb/obvious question, but one I'm curious about. TIA

I would have to say if you were to run the same mg per week e or p act I think e is like 85% as potent pure mg wise per ml as p. but if you ran same cycle e or p. e 12 weeks or p 8 you would have less hair loss on the 8 week. Less time test is converting to dht. I could be wrong tho hopefully you will get a more seasoned guy to answer.
