Running first time cycle need information on cycle run length

[Irish82]

So I'm 2 weeks into a 500mg sustanon EQ 500mg cycle. Running Adex E3D .5 mg. Have nolva and clomid on hand for post cycle therapy (pct). I will be running this Cycle 16 weeks. I have actually experienced an incredible increase in libido and strength. I have also put on 5 lbs with very little water retention and bloat. I currently weigh 232 lbs at 6'2 and around 14% body fat. My question is in regards to my cycle run time. I know EQ takes 16 weeks to see full gains. But i recently heard from a friend that I should take 2 weeks off near week 8 is this true or erroneous information.

Just run it straight through. Get bloodwork halfway through so you know where your levels are

^^^^^ as above. I wuld run it straight through, but look to get blood work done around wk 10 and then re-asses

Almost twice as long as the similar cycle I just came off. You should be in full on beast mode at the end. I was catching up from a back injury after my first cycle (no more heavy deads for me, the rest of my body ain't 25 years old anymore) but I got past where I was last year at week 6 and enjoyed the following 4+ weeks of crushing it.
