It usually takes me about 3 weeks to start seeing results that stick through the morning. What I mean by that is I tend to hold my pump after working out even when I wake up the next day. My goal isn't to get outragously big, I just want to look swole and cut. I think it really depends on how your body responds to AS, and what your goal is. If you reach your desired look, or weight, or strength, in that amount of time, then it may not hurt to save the rest of your goodies for a later date. It is a good rule of thumb to stay off of a cycle for the same amount of time you were on. Good luck. | ||

short cycles are very effective if used right. i think the purpose is not to supress your own natueral testosterone production. hard to do, but possible. | ||

Here's an old post of mine that should help answer a few questions for you buddy... I see a lot of misconceptions of what constitutes a"short cycle"going on lately.I constantly hear so and so talk about"Yeah,I'm planning on doing a short cycle that will consist of four weeks of test".This is missing the whole benificial strategem behind this newer"fad"type of cycling,and I'll explain why that is--2 WEEKS is the maximum one should be"on",for the following reasons:In the first two weeks of high androgen levels,pituitary response to Leutenizing-Hormone-Releasing-Hormone(LHRH)not only does not decrease,it actually IMPROVES(Which basically means your pituitary is sensitized,and therefore leutinizing hormone output is increased,which is obviously quite benificial).BUT-AFTER THE 2 WEEK POINT:The pituitary rapidly becomes unresponsive to L-H-R-H.Thus,both the Hypothalamus(which produces L-H-R-H)and the Pituitary(which produces Leutenizing Hormone)are now in a state of inhibition,and must ride out a longer recovery process.The moral here is,from a SUPPRESSIONAL standpoint--You guys that are stretching your cycles out past the two week point might as well just do the standard 8 week cycles,since full inhibition has already occurred.If kept to 14 days and under,recovery is almost immediate,as only the hypothalamus has to recover,not the pituitary.Here's some helpful hints for staying within the time frame,thus reaping the benifits behind this particular method of cycle:Stick to orals and injectibles with short acting esters.Any of the orals are acceptable as they all have fast clearance times out of the body.Suitable injectibles include:Suspensions(Aqueous,Winstrol)acetates,propionates,and phenylpropionates.Hope this clears up some of the misconceptions and helps any of you fellas thinking about experimenting with this method in the future.---Huck

I used to use this formula, and still do sometimes. I would use a fast nandrolone, or anabolic, and winny, suspension, maybe some prop. I would gain 3-5 pounds of KEPT weight after each one. I did 2 weeks on, 4 off. | ||
