Why steroids cycle length matters

Any steroid cycle must have start and end points. This is wise if you want to be healthy and think long term.

There are different steroids with different acting esters which will affect a little cycle length however there are basic rules like no cycle should be longer than 14 weeks.

Esters Type

There are steroids with short or quick acting esters and steroids with long acting esters. Quick acting are felt quicker from the start date, they are quicker in your blood and faster out when you stop using them.

Usually steroids with quick acting esters are used in cutting steroids cycles. These are: Testosterone Propionate, Winstrol, Trenbolone Acetate and others. If you want full list names write us a ticket.

Steroids with long acting esters are used mostly in bulking steroids cycles. These are: Testosterone Enanthate, Trenbolone Enanthate, Boldenone and others. If you want full list names write us a ticket.

So what is normal cycle length?

So with quick acting esters cycle will be from 4 to 8 weeks. You will feel these products fast and if you get side effects and stop them they are quickly out of your body.

With long acting esters cycle will be from 10 to 14 weeks. It will take time to feel these products from the start date (may be needed 4-5 weeks until it fully kicks in) and it will take longer for them to get out of your body.

I will underline the importance of PCT after any steroid cycle!

PCT stays for Post Cycle Therapy and helps body restore natural testosterone production back because it was stopped during steroid cycle. For PCT we use Clomiphene Citrate.

I still have questions.
