Thread: Extend first cycle?

If you are younger it would be in your best interest to come off and recover before putting your body through the stress of another cycle back to back.

Recovering from a 6 month cycle is also harder for your body. You will have to extend the PCT a few weeks.

If you are older and considering TRT you could cruise right into it.

Pain-
I'm 44. So I'm definitely in the clear in terms of not being too young or even close to too young.
While I do like the benefits of augmenting my testosterone levels; I don't think I'm ready to make the commitment of going full time trt just yet. This is my first cycle and I kind of caught in the excitement of being able to lift and gain weight like I am right now, so I feel like my judgement may be a bit clouded.

So, I gather that I COULD turn this current (12 week) cycle into a 6 monther, but I'd have to get more Nolva and Clomid and extend my PCT regiment as well?

I'm still pondering it right now, I've got another week before I'd HAVE to place the order to allow time for it to get here.

Thanks!

Thanks Bob. Yeah, it's already a 12 week cycle as is with the gear I currently have on hand. I'm just thinking of getting a few more vials and extending it another 8-12 weeks.

It is summer. That IS a good point. I just don't want to screw up my system to the point that I have to stay on trt. I mean... that's doable and everything, but it would be another thing I'd have to stay on top of for good. Not sure I like that idea just yet.

I hear you but listen I am under 40 and on trt from all my fun with aas since I was 17 on and off. Sure I bounced back and test levels were mids then I started feeling shitty when OFF cycle. YESSS I modify my trt, well sometimes more than modify it lol but I never crash 200mgs of test a wk is what I use to use for a cycles in the beginning and is more than enough to hold meat on your frame.

What I want you to think about is you are getting older and statistically speaking at your age your t-levels will be in the shitter. I look at everything from a medical point of view so bare with me, but modern medicine is here for US! Might as well use it right? If you have insurance test cyp is @ 20 bucks a month give or take and its human grade. You will feel good all the time without worrying about bouncing back, my regret is not getting on it 2 yrs before I did. That 2 yrs I tried bouncing back and it was just not happening, grumpy old man feeling and acting it was not fun.

Point being adding in a little extra to finish and tighten up is NOT going to mess with the time bouncing back it will be the same unless your take a nor like deca or tren or npp then maybe it will take months longer.

If you don't bounce back don't kick yourself just get on your own trt or dr pres. trt. Its probably just time to do it.

Thanks bro, for taking the time to break it down like that! What you are saying makes a hell of a lot of sense. If my PCT isn't allowing me to recover and I'm feeling shitty like you described for too long I definitely won't hesitate to do (a) cruising dose(s) and just run with it for the long haul (trt).

I actually was thinking of mixing deca into my extension batch. I've read that it can be rough to recover from for some people. So far with just test a dbol, my sides have been pretty minimal.
