First Cycle Duration

I'm playing around with the idea of running JUST test E at 500mg/week for my first cycle, my question is, is 16 weeks too long for a first cycle? Should i just stick with 12? I'll be running anti-e's and HCG+Nolvadex for PCT. Knowing that i'm finally gunna do my first cycle in september really got me excited and before i knew it was planning out a 12 week cycle that was the following:

weeks1-12 Test E 500mg
Weeks1-12 Deca 500mg
Weeks1-4 30mg D-bol

I guess i was kinda like a kid in a candy store, i'm just thinking that i don't need all of that for my FIRST cycle, i've been told by quite a few experienced gear users that i'll make good gains off of test E alone. But one thing i need to take into consideration is that i've already done a high dose 1-test/4-ad 8 week cycle and a 5 week M1t cycle. By the time september rolls around i'll probably have 3 M1t cycles under my belt. So now that you guys know that info, do you think test E at 500mg a week will be enough?

Test @ 500mg is more than enough for a first cycle.

I personally would cut the Deca down to 250 - 300mg's but it's really up to you.

One of my friends did a 300mg/Week Deca only cycle for 12 weeks and gained 30 pounds off it so if you stack that with the 500mg of Test you plan on doing and that's more plenty of juice for a first cycle.

Looks like a good cycle bro'

Let us know how it goes once you get started

Good Luck'

i just finished my cycle of 400 test e, 200 deca, and 30mg dbol on a 12 wk besides the dbol and gained exactly 30lbs.

personally I would drop the M1T early and let your system recover and clear out and then start your real cycle in September after 8 - 12 weeks "clean."

You guys haven't answered my question, is is 16 weeks too long for a first cycle? Like could i just do 500mg test E for 16 weeks? Then follow it up with HCG and Nolvadex for PCT?

Yes, you could run it for that length and then your def gonna want to run HCG and the nol to get ya back in working order.

Yeah, if you do 16 wks, you'll be really shut down. Keep that hcg and nolva handy--maybe even some igf-1 to help the hcg.

Well no IGF-1, but nolvadex and HCG for PCT. I worry about using HCG during my cycle because you can become accustomed to LH and then it not work for you anymore, BUT it WOULD keep my balls intact, any thought?

Some ppl like to run it for a week during the middle and some like myself like to runi it at the end. All that matters is that you recover. Try both and see which ya like better.
