short or long cycles

Which does everyone prefer, and or think is more efficient in terms of maintaining / keeping steroid gains. 8 week cycles so you have less downtime between, or 12-14+ week cycles?

I prefer 10-12. As long as you cycle off correctly, keep a good diet, and continue to push yourself in the gym you should be just fine until your next cycle starts.

My training partner is an old competitor and he is only doing short cycles with great success, like 4-6 weeks.. he swears the recovery is better and the sides are much lower

I prefer doing 8-10 weeks

I also like doing 12-16weeks with hcg from the third week or so. Never crash and keep most of the gains.

Debating after this next 12-14weeker of EQ/Test to start doing 6-8 weeks of tren/test at a time

I been doing the shorter cycles (4-6 weeks) that last few years and they've been working well for me. Did longer ones when I was younger, but am now in my late 30's and appreciate the shorter ones more...imho.

Bro imho a 8 week cycle is not a short one any more, nor is it a long one. If you want to go short you wanna keep it 4-6weeks.

I have tried a few short ones 4weeks, im my early twenties, didnt like it tho! Gained not that much and also lost most of it after. I think its hard for the body to get used to new mass in that short of a time. Im still in my twenties, so maybe when i get older ill do them again, but for now longer def.
