Short Cycles - Newbie

[pumpingiron23]

Hi I am looking at taking my first cycle and because of work restraints I am looking at short cycles of around 2 wks on / 2 - 6 weeks off. I work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off (during the time off I will be able to inject) and take orals whilst at work.

Some stats, 25 years old, been training on and off for around 7 years now. Weight 220lbs, BF 13%. Naturally.

What are your opinions on shorter cycles? I don't mind if results aren't as good as full 6 - 12 week cycles but just curious to know who has tried these and what your opinion/advice on these are? thanks.

any testosterone cycles less than 12 weeks is useless,and 6 weeks isnt at all worth the trouble,it doesnt kick in until week 6

u could do a 4-week cycle of test suspension but that would mean injecting multiple times daily and u will still need to do a 3-4 week post cycle therapy (pct) following that... but a 2-week cycle would be useless, u won't see any gains, will only get the side effects following...

explain why you cant cycle longer? how does your work schedule affect your ability to pin?

Man what ever articles you guys on these short cycles need to stop this is stupid its pointless. No no no no search threads on here and you will find your answer

I am guessing you are military? or work on an oil rig....

Either way if you want to cycle make up your pins and put them in a tooth brush holder, take when necessary.


A test cycle needs to run atleast 11-12 wks imho..hell if you run Sustanon (sust) you COULD get away with a once a week shot..You would be better off not doing anything than running test for 2 wks then not. Your test lvls will be a damm yo yo!

I could see something like this working even though it would be far from optimal levels.

This is just for conversations sake more than anything but look at this:

Get some test deconate or better yet test undeconate. and use this as the test base for the cycle.

Lets push this thing for 14-16 weeks hypthetically. With the test U you can inject once every 14 days although levels will drop off a good bit from day 1-14 but a good bit of test will still be present.

weeks 1-16 800mg test U injected once every 14 days.

While you are home you can toss in a fast acting compound such as NPP, tren A, winstrol. Maybe even some injectable D-bol or injectable anavar if you have access to these. Inecting those daily or eod at the dosages you want

PCt it's pills so you can continue that at work or at home just the same.

I'km betting you would grow just fine on a plan like this even though it is a bit of pain in the ass to actually do.

This would basically be a blast and cruise type cycle but there are guys who actually use in this way and love the results.

He said 4-6 weeks. It's not even worth trying that. What if his shit is underdosed or something? He will start to crash. hIs best cycle with his situation is no cycle.

4-6 weeks= test PROP cycle

No doubt about that. I'm just tossing out something hypothetical out there. I'm playing around the injection times but there is no getting out of the cycle length. crash and burn the HPTA for nothing in that short a time.

Very good! If you would read it says 2 weeks on and two to six off!!

Ya bro I may be old fasion but i want nothing to do with Fucking around with hpta recovery!! Me needs my nuts. Haha

 

[Zeek]

Damn he did say 2-6 off. There is no way around that one except to pack your injects and take them with you.

2 off maybe .. up to 6 good bye hpta

I did a short 4 weekcycle with tren and test prop, dont waste your time/money with it. Longer cycles are better hands down

search, there are a lot of articles out there about short cycles and apparently it was popular in the 90s but has since gone out of fashion. supposedly there are several stages of hpta shutdown and you dont enter the deeper ones until the third week so with a good post cycle therapy (pct) and short esters you should be able to recover faster off a 2 week cycle and keep ~5 lbs of lean mass (from what I have heard, no personal experience with this).
that said, I don't think there is anyone on here who would recommend it, although I would like to hear from some people who have actually tried it.
