Is their any benifits to doing 6 week cycles instead of 12 week cycles. I am 20yrs old and don't really want to mess up my natural test production, will keeping my cycles short help prevent this from happening? Also I heard that primo does not shut down natural test production, is this a good AS for younger users? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Man i saw something like that yesterday, so search for it. From what i recall the bottom line is that you natural production is supressed in 2 weeks on average if i remember correctly. Luck ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Here's an old post of mine that may shed a little insight on the subject for you.... 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 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Huck, I've been researching 2 week cycles for some time, and everthing I've read supports your claims that LH levels aren't hit hard until after 2 weeks. How fast can levels rebound? I guess the question I'm asking is how long until another short cycle can begin? I've heard anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

4 Weeks to insure full recovery of the hypothalamus.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
