Thoughts on using Test P to end a cycle

[Bayareaguy]

I wanted to get some thoughts on ending 12 week cycle with Test P in order to begin PCT sooner.

What are your thoughts of

1-12 weeks of Test E with PCT starting 2 weeks later

Vs.

1-10 weeks Test E
11-12 weeks Test P
With PCT starting 1 week later

Your pct would be more like 3 weeks with test e.

I've always been told 2 weeks after start PCT any reason for the extra week?

 

[Bayareaguy]

Everything I read here says 2 weeks for Test E. I have seen some suggestions to run PCT 5 weeks instead of 4 weeks.

However my question is, do people see an advantage of switching to Test P for the last 2 weeks in order to start PCT sooner.

why not..test is test

I would start the p w my last week of e for the transition.

We are all different so so give it a go..no golden protocol mate..see if it works then tell us

Look up pct calculater

PCT should be closer to 3 weeks after your last pin on a test E cycle

Old info is old, this site is not immune to that...use steroidplot.com or pct.befit4free.net like tbone suggested

On the other hand - test P to end is a great idea, but I would still run the test E for 12 weeks

1-12 testE 500mg/wk
13-14 test P 150mg EOD
15 PCT (wait 5 days after last test P inject)

why would you run test p at the end?? youve reached peak-value with your test-e by that time?? unless you up the dosage with the test p, as in add it to your original test e dosage?? that would give your peak value a boost the last few weeks

 

[snowpatrol123]

I personally do it so I have more time "under the influence" of full-blast test levels, and a shorter wait period until I begin (and finish) PCT

 

[3J]

it doesn't actually totally mean a shorter pct.. you guys have to think about how much test is left in your system.. if you are overlapping test e and test p your peak values are higher and it takes longer for them to clear your system, making you wait longer to start pct..

Compare: Steroidplot - Shared cycle

to: Steroidplot - Shared cycle

The graph scale changes making it kind of tricky; but because the prop-estered test clears so much quicker the point where you would start PCT (depending on preference, but <15mg/d released IMO) is very similar

 

[3J]

yea i know.. i see it too.. i personally would wait another 3-4 days.. maybe 10-11 days after final injection to start pct..

 

[Bayareaguy]

Thanks for the information. It's very interesting to get the different points of view. Being fairly new to this I read a lot about the subject since I am putting together my second cycle. Wanting to keep my cycle simple yet maximize my gains.

 

[Trevdog]

Yes it does make sense to keep your test levels higher as long as possible and make a quicker transition to PCT. "Quicker", but it isn't all that quick even with test p, which is why extending your pct for a week also makes sense to me. Belt and suspenders.

Some use it at the end to get rid of water retention but not just the last 2 weeks to use pct earlier. I would just wait the 2-3 weeks after last pin or start test p sooner than 2 weeks

If you're managing E2 how would switching from test c/e to P get rid of water?

Also; lets say the test E ester (@ 500mg/wk) clears your system enough for successful PCT after 2.5 weeks, but you wait 3 to be safe...a straightforward cycle:

1-12 Test E 500mg/wk
15-19 PCT

Test P clears your system (easily) within 4-5 days...so why would you need to wait any longer in this scenario?
1-12 TestE 500mg/wk
13-14 Test P 100mg EOD
15-19 PCT
