Long mild cycles?

[ProtienFiend]

Anyone do long mild cycles such as 400-600mg Test cyp for 20+ weeks?

How do they compare to cycles such as

1-4 dbol 40mg
1-10 test cyp 600mg
1-10 deca 400mg

In terms of results, recovery, etc...

Im mainly interested because I feel longer mild cycles give more keepable results. I havent done one yet but it makes sense in that the muscle will be on your body longer and will be more "mature".

It will still suppress your natty test, so I imagine recovery could be harder.

That was one of my worries.

Anyone else done these? Thoughts?

I do long cycles, like I an on now and will be for the rest of my life.


Simply doing 1gram of test a week.


Serious multi gear cycles

Like the one you proposed


1-4 dbol 40mg
1-10 test cyp 600mg
1-10 deca 400mg


Give more bangs for the buck, but if you are on all the time, you are always gaining, muscle, slowly, but getting leaner, bigger, and stronger all the time,


I guess I kind of like it.

I love short cycles 6-8 weeks. I heve done up to 12 and IMO for me 8 weeks is about 95% of the gains I get from 12 so why bother with 12.

Nice to hear the feedback.

I ask this mainly because Ive been on some low dose Cyp. It started to kick in around week 2.. but then around week 8 I got that real juiced look. Im only doing 9 weeks (wouldve done 10 but bottle was underdosed) so I'm kinda disappointed and want to consider something longer next time.

So again, any experience with how recovery and sides are different between long mild cycles and short high dose?

i've been thinking about the same thing myself, PF. i've been asking around here and on other boards, and at the end of the day my concern (based on my own fears and the feedback i've received from those who have done it) with longer cycles would be recovery... that is always going to be an issue for me (given that i'm 26). maybe it's ok for a much older guy or someone with low natty test who needs to be on cycle more often or even on HRT with periods of higher dosages (aka cycles). at the stage i'm at, i'd probably stay within 15 weeks, but more likely 12.

A friend of mine does low does long term cycles and he swears by them. I'm about to do one myself. If you're concerned about recovery taking longer, simply do some nolva throughout the cycle and through in some HCG half way through. I would think that would do the trick.

I was just about to ask this question myself. I've gone through a number of short cycles, but I've been running a lower-dose lower cycle for about 4 months now, and like the results a LOT more. I'm nervous about coming off it, but know I have to eventually. I'm 49, so maybe it will be a little easier for me.

Proteinfiend what was your low dose of Cyp and what was your pct how much did you get from it?

- 9 weeks Test Cyp @ 400mg/wk

- Herbal PCT (dont recommend this but it works for me) I would invest in HCG if I indeed do a longer cycle

- Up about 15 lbs, dropped probably 2-3%BF @ week 10

- starting Herbs + Creatine next week ... AIFM used @ 1 squirt a day or EOD throughout cycle and PCT

pct like anything else can be a very personal thing
im not gonna bash your plan
keep us posted on post cycle issues like labido and how much muscle is maintained
hell im not against adding some herbs to my pct
my wife bought some energy pills and then asked me about them
i told her that some of the herbs in it were mostly marketed to me for labido and so she got something else
i took some of them and noticed an quick increase in my labido
and so did she
so someithing was hapening

Will definitely keep you up to date.

Its not that i'm pro-herb either.... its that I am anti-Nolva, and anti-OVERmedication is general. Nolva sent my BP through the roof and if I can recover on my own from a mild cycle, im not going to add an extra drug for the hell of it, especially considering the sides.

there's no difinitive answer that applies to everyone.....everyone reacts differently to roids, this board and all of it's thread variations attest to that. Me personally....high doses of injectables not only shut my nuts down, but shut my entire body down. 500-750mg's of sustanon made me feel like shit, for 5 whole fuckin weeks. Had no desire to work out....just sit at home a jerk off. But I've done "relatively" high dose dbol and aside from baby huey face......felt great, best I've felt in my life. You just have to experiment with what works for you.....and somewhere you'll have to make a sacrifice/compromise on something. So you just have to figure out what you can live with and what you can't when it comes to the sides.....because no matter what you do and what you take, there's ALWAYS a "catch" to this game.
