Testosterone Enanthate - Break Period

[FirstPinDone]

Hi Guys,

Hopefully I have posted this in the right section.

I have been using my first cycle and currently on Week 10 of 500mg/week of Test E (Monday, Thursday)

Basically, I want to continue and not come off cycle yet (I'm not looking to be lectured on how long is safe etc etc, I have spoken to a couple of coaches and athletes who are on cycle 24-26 weeks at a time etc.

The problem I have is, I can't get my hands on some juice for another week and I have completely run out.

What is the safe break period - for example, can I just stop as of last Thursday and inject 10 days later? What is the potential side effects or any other negative reactions? I can't seem to find this topic covered anywhere else?

Should I just wait the 14 days and start my post cycle therapy (pct) or can I be cheeky and inject 10 days post last injection (when I can get my hands on some reliable sourced juice)


Thank you heaps in advance.


FYI - Stats - 27 year old, training since 20, 5"11 - 87kgs. CrossFitter more than bodybuilder, but I do some bodybuilding training as supplementary. I'm using the steroids more for athletic performance as opposed to aesthetics or mass building.

The half life for test e is about a week and a half. If that's the route u wanna go. My guess is u want to stay on cuz your gains were shitty probably due to a poor diet.. I would pct, but whatever floats your boat homeslice...

Thanks for the reply.

Actually, I want to stay in because I'm finally seeing good results and slowly but surely getting stronger and don't want to stop just yet,

My diet is actually extremely controlled and I hit near perfect macros etc etc.

It's just that I slave away in the gym and after years of not getting results I deserve from training hard and properly and with a ridiculously good diet, the pin has finally started to give me some notable results without blowing me up like a meathead.

It took 10 weeks to start seing results? sounds like underdosed gear (?) if you re eating right and training right...

The elimination half life of test e is more like 4-6days. I think you're thinking of ACTIVE half life which is around that long.

Started seeing results and feeling results in 8.

Keep in mind, I don't do much "bodybuilding" I do more Olympic lifting and bodyweight stuff in CrossFit, BUT I do some (2-3 sessions) of bodybuilding mixed in at the end of my conditioning workouts.

Could be underdosed, not sure.

Unigen Depo-Test 250. Mixed reviews. But at least I don't grow a third leg or a tail? So that's a bonus lol

So I have 6 days to get another pin into me?

What happens if I wait 12 days, if I can't get anything sooner?

No after 6days your serum concentration would be cut in half, it doesn't mean totally out of your system. If you wait 12days you'll just have spikes and troughs in concentration levels. This may produce some estrogenic side effects but that depends a bunch of factors too.

Like Trust said, if it took you 10wks to see results, I'd bet your gear was either underdosed or your diet was off. By wk6 or so you should have been seeing results. Also longer cycles don't always equate to more gains bathe longer you're on cycle the higher the potential for estrogenic side effects, as well as other nasty sides, and diminishing returns. Your gains toward the end of a normal 12-16wk cycle will more than likely plateau so running it much longer won't give you the same linear gains as you expect. You said you're on wk 10 so extending it another 2-6wks wouldn't be much of a problem and might extend your gains but I wouldn't go for much longer. Also keep an eye on sides if you go 12days without pinning since it will spike your blood levels.

Thanks for the reply bro, really appreciate it.

It's looking like I will be able to get my hands on some new gear in 11 days from my last pin which was last Thursday, should have it by next Monday.

What are the sides I should look out for?

Instead of pinning today, I took some Arimidex, as I have been EoD.

Should I keep this up?

If I can't get my gear by 14 days, I will probably just start post cycle therapy (pct) - I only have Nolva, how would you recommend I run that?

And start a new cycle later in the year.

It's difficult to say. I mean on a normal test e cycle your blood levels are low enough after 14-21days to start post cycle therapy (pct) so you'll have to build them back up which would take more time. If I were you I'd just save it for another cycle.

Read the stickys...

Bump - if I inject 14 days after last pin, can I "front load" to try to even levels out, I.e. if I was using 400mg a week, can I use 600mg for 2 weeks?

 

[MaxedPupil]

It dpesnt work that way. Your levels are going to drop then Spike when the ester starts kicking in. You went feom 10 days to 12 now 14 sounds like your trying to push this. You never want to do that in this game. Make a plan ahead of time and make sure you have your complete cycle(including your post cycle therapy (pct)) before starting. If I was you I would post cycle therapy (pct) now and then start a new cycle later on.

One thing I have learned about people are is that they are unreliable I would not trust something being there in a week or even two. You should plan ahead for post cycle therapy so you don't lose all your gains and even worse your sex drive and get depressed and have no energy from the sudden stop of steroids. There is something wrong if you haven't seen good results with your natural training as there is. And there is also something wrong if you haven't gotten results for 8 weeks. You really should cycle off I don't care if you don't want to hear that its the right advice. Theres no reason to not cycle off and if you cycle off it will help for future gains. And if you are doing long cycles like named you should be using Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) to keep your balls working to be blunt about it.
