Short cycles yay or nay?

ad

Heya guys, Im pretty new to the game and planing on doing my first test e 10 week cycle soon and i will post up all my stats etc for critique before i start it. But i have been researching and would like to get sum more info on everybodys thoughts on short cycles for slow gains, like 2 weeks on 4 off for instance sounds interesting but have only found mostly old info about this. I was wondering if anyone has tried such cycles and how they find them in regards to gains over a year or so and how they compare with sides, shutdown, etc.

Very good point. You can do short, but your body HAS TO have the time to recover. You keep stopping and starting the car, and eventually, you'll flood the engine.
The problem with short cycles is that the gains you might find fleeting and hard to maintain.

How does the protocol written there give you time for decent recovery? It doesn't, so you are constantly shutting yourself down and starting back up partially.

Now that is exactly how to mess up your axis.

Its true that recovery is quicker, but not that quick, at least not in the long run.

From bro to bro I would advise you not to do it again, at least not with such a short off-time like 4 - 6 weeks.

Sorry guys maybe should of left the first bit out about the 10 week test e cycle, but yes def prop for a short cycle, if you look at this link you might get at what im trying to find more info on. www.steroidology.com/forum/anabolic-steroids-bodybuilding-articles/29773...

I don't like the idea at all, and I'll tell you why. Even if you do run just a short cycle of 4 - 6 weeks, your endogenous testosterone production will not completely manage to recover that quickly.

That means your htpa axis wouldn't be completely restored as you start the next cycle. The net result is, you will be subject to permanent shutdown, but without the gains that would have come by just continuously taking the test.

Generally I have nothing againste short prop cycles, but you need to do them with sufficient time off.

Thanks EBSNW1, exactly what i was after, peoples reviews and opinions, i know there must be reasons why they are not popular just wanted to know why.

First of all, 10 weeks test -----> useless
Running test e for 4 weeks on and 2 off ------> dumbest idea I ever heard.

If you meant something else, maybe you should have explained it better...

Yeah I don't know who told him this info but everything I just read was a complete mess.
