I'll chime in though in favor of short cycles.
I ran Test Prop at 150mg EOD for 5 weeks. I stopped because sides (acne) started to catch up and gains slowed down. I took HCGenerate while on and in PCT.
Also for 4 week PCT - Nolva, Unleashed, HCGenerate as I mentioned and OSTA Sarm.
Gained 11 LB in 5 weeks.
The first week of PCT I dropped 4 lb - water weight. I also dropped 20% of the strength I gained.
At the end of 4 week PCT I gained 1 more pound for the total of 8 lb of muscle (7 on cycle + 1 on PCT) I also lost 1% BF. at the end of PCT (which is 2 more pounds of lost fat and gained muscle). All my strength I gained on cycle and lost in the first week of PCT was back at the end of PCT again.
Quick and painless recovery. - I am 38, 6.2, 200lb, 14%bf
I was off for 2.5 month now and about to start my next cycle ... probably Beastdrol (20mg ED) for 4 weeks + Test prop (150mg EOD) for 5 or so weeks depending on how the sides show up.
I am planning to only do short cycles with quick acting orals and short easter injectables.
My thinking - if you run 8-10 weeks of test enan that takes 4 weeks to act, so you actually feel the results in your last 4-6 weeks and then you wait to start PCT for 2 weeks after .... that's a WASTE of time. ...
runing 5 weeks of prop gets you in and out quick and you are actually on decent amount of test on day 3 and you can start your PCT 3 days after last shot. so you are getting the benefits for the same amount of time BUT with no waisted time and unnecessary additional 6 weeks (total) shutdown before and after cycle.
so me doing prop for 5-6 weeks compared to someone doing test enan or cyp for 8-10 weeks - I am WAY ahead of them. and I can do more cycles a year.
that's my logic, took me 1 year of research to learn and 1 cycle to confirm ... I may be wrong though but hey ... it works for me.
