What is the longest cycle you ever did?

[wmk]

I ran Test for 16 weeks years back. Anyone run anything for a long time? If so how did you like it? How was PCT and did most of the gains stay with long term use?

[Big D]

if you run a well constructed pct, and keep up a good diet. you should be able to keep most of the gains.

here's a thread that hsould help you out

About 6 months. Kept about 75%. PCT was nolva.

LOL 2 years... every time I start taking Test, I never feel like coming off :P.

[waderow]

i have a hard time coming off too.... i also have a hard time with the idea of never coming off....

say no to drugs!

8 months. test, then on and off with a little bit of everything

kept solid gains because of proper PCT, but it's not the same afterwards...

[ZeOne]

The longest cycle I was on laster a bit more than 4 month. Did Nolva only for PCT, but eventually lost most gains even though diet and training regimen remained the same.

To this day, I haven't found yet the PCT that will help me keep most of my gains.

1.5 years and counting

20 weeks, lost a few lbs of water weight but kept almost all of the strength gains. did regular PCT of nolva and I feel that it worked well. I tend to stick to the 16 week range now.

[C-money]

im sitting at 19 weeks right now.. i dont wanna come off, but i think i will this time. Next tim will be a different story

[RagingRandy]

You are supposed to come off?:shock

[tripleA]

20 weeks of test enth, but low dose of 250mg/week. only gained a few pounds which was what i wanted. looked much fuller with little water retention. used hcg/nolva/armo/clomid/purple k for pct. i didn't gain much so didn't lose much either.

[natenator]

my longest was also my first lol

32 weeks.

Holy **** for a first cycle lol. I started at 10 weeks for the first few times, not knowing any better, then started 12 week cycles, and I didn't feel like I was on long enough to hold the gains. I'm trying 16 weeks right now. I know my 'growing' will stop at a certain point, but I'm hoping the extra weeks will help me solidify some of the muscle. I'm also coming off a test/anadrol cycle, where I looked like a water pig, so I want to avoid that at all costs by dragging this one out.

^^^^Mine was a lean bulk into contest prep. Had competed a few times before without gear and wanted to know what it was like juiced up. Cycle at one point or another consisted of suspension, prop, tren ace and masteron.

Looked and felt fantastic.

I'm thinking of throwing masteron in at 10 weeks. I'm currently week 4 of test e, tren ace. I'm going to run the tren until week 10 or 11, cross the masteron over and maybe throw in some winny tabs.

masteron came 6 weeks out. Tren started 16 weeks out.

went wild for 9 months last year

im in a 12 started march 1 but thinking of bulking for the first 12.

and then instead of coming off, going right into a 6 week cut..

So total would be 18.

I decided this because the test will already be built up in my system so instead of letting it all die then having to pin prop ED for a 6 weeker i could just stick to my regular x2 a week and not have to wait for it to kick in. and still get a 6 weeker in.

HCG the whole time started last week will run it until the end of the 18 weeks

what are u running ur HRT at? how are the sides with that dose? what do ur blasts look like during this?... sorry just curious.

[Adonis13]

16 weeks is mine, test E, EQ Dbol front load.

[trainharder]

I know some of you guys run longer cycles in the hope of "solidifying" gains.

I wonder whether the benefits are offset by the longer/more difficult HPTA recovery after a long cycle?

^^ if pct is thorough then you should be a-ok
