Its a slow acting anabolic and best effects are seen with longer duration cycles.
I have used it with great success on shorter duration cycles so 16 wks isn't set in stone.

EQ is a slow builder. Because of the undeconoate ester it takes about 6 to 8 weeks to reach stable blood levels and therefore to achieve the maximum benefits of the compound it will need to be run longer - 16 weeks being the suggested minimum. It's anabolic: androgeric ratio is 100:50 which also plays its part in how quickly it will add mass. Now this is a good thing when trying to add quality an keepable lean mass. Given it takes a so long to kick in an achieve results the body has time in my view to adapt to the extra muscle being added and when coming off in my experience most of the gains are keepable. If you want you could switch to bold cyp and run for 12 to 14 weeks but the gains will not be as keepable in my view but still very good. Any result is going to be completely dependent on diet, training and rest. Hope this helps.

Long half life 16.5 days, takes super long to 'kick in', in and around 8 weeks. I could be wrong wait til the experienced lads weigh in
