Short cycles vs. Long Cycles

[djtwizzle]

Short cycles, say three months vs. Longer cycles like six to twelve months. Which is better? And for what reasons?

 

[All In a Year]

I'm a fan of actual short cycles 4-6 weeks.

Depends on goals and what you are cycling???

Exactly. Generally: Oral only cycles should always be short. Long ester's should be long. A lot of varialbles but start with a solid fondation and diet!

For specifics, stats please.

I actually wouldnt run tren ace 8 weeks again.. I feel like i start to plataeu after week 6 anyways... An 8 week prop tren cycle works bro.... on and off quick...

The shorter cycle should help you maintain gains easier as good pct will allow you to recover quickly....

Post your stats for advice, Bro

I just got done with a 6 week test prop mast cycle and I feel like recovery is gonna be much easier and you don't have to take as much time off between cycles

Seattleborn, can you pm me with your cycle info?
Im looking into doing exactly that.

some people can not stay motivated and focused enough for a long cycle, some cant continue to gain after 6-? weeks, some run dosages that should not be run for more then 4 weeks, some love orals, etc etc

some people prefer long slow steady gains, some are trt, some love long esters and a build up, some are only focused 75% and need a long cycle, etc etc

you gotta find out what works for you

for most

orals 4-6 weeks
injects 6-12 weeks

4-6 week pct

bridge 4-8 weeks
train natural 4 months

rinse repeat

adjust to for your needs

I think judo nailed it, I only do long cycles just personal preference and suites me as I don't come "off" due to low test levels etc , if I was younger and had to do it again armed with what I know now then would favour the 12 week cycles followed by pct and recovery etc
