This will be my first cycle. 300mg/wk test cyp and 300mg/week EQ. I got two questions:

1) I have enough to go 10 weeks vs. 8 weeks. Pros and cons for a first cycyle? I'm 6'4", 175lbs @ 5% bodyfat.

2) As far as the EQ goes, I've seen post that say you should run it about 2 weeks longer than your test, true?

Thanks for the info guys.

There are no cons about going 10 weeks. I think it is easier to retain gains with longer cycles.

lawnsaver, no flame here. Your reply struck up my curiosity. How do long cycles help one in retaining their gains? Again, no flame, just curious.

Okay, if I go 10wks, should I hit the EQ for 12?

Oh, and bump for 'ORCHITIS', I got the same question.

It is my belief, not fact, that one can become used to holding that weight better on a longer cycle. I am also taking into consideration that one would use lower doses...which may, in turn, totally null this belief. Use less, gain a little less, lose less.

Let me ask you a question. If you were to gain 35lbs on a 6 week cycle of abombs and test, or gain 25lbs off a 10 week test/eq cycle, which one do you think you would hold a better % of your gains?

My guess is the 2nd cycle. Why? For 1 the ingrediants are better for keeping gains in the 2nd cycle, second, the longer and slower those gains happen the better chance you body will want to accept them.

If I was to take test and eq for 6 weeks I know I wont gain more then 10 or 12 lbs. I believe if your body goes through a drastic change in body composition in a short peroid of time, your body will want to reject those gains.

This is just from my experience and others I g=have watched. Again there a exceptions to the rule, but for the most part, this is how it happens.

Thanks lawnsaver. I see the logic in your post, and I must say that I agree.
