I am coming to the end of a three month, 500 mg Test a week cycle. I have been power lifting and put on a good chunk of bulk. Now I’m considering switching my regimen over to cutting and would like to remain on the same amount of test for one additional month. The reason being, I would like to retain my muscle while shedding a little excess fat.
My questions are:
Is four months too long (Unsafe) to be on 500 mg of Test Deconate?
Should I be getting blood work to help make this decision? If so what should I ask the Dr. to check.
As always, thank you for your assistance in helping me make educated and sound decisions.
a 16 week cycle is not unheard of, and probably won’t be too much harder to recover from than just a normal 12 weeker, but there’s always a risk. If you’re comfortable with the risk, then go for it.
I wouldn’t bother with blood work while on. Wait until 6 weeks post PCT.
Implement HCG at 500iu per week as you should have been doing anyway since the beginning of the cycle to prevent shutdown. Also be aware of ester clear time with test deconate (15 days) before starting climid/toremifene combo.
Also, include CLA and possibly some peptides (ipamorelin 100mcg 2x a day) for fat loss and PCT recovery.

Hcg does not prevent shutdown.

Well you just trade one for another. Will it keep your nuts chugging along? Sure, will your HPTA still pump out as much LH, perhaps not.
First ,Thank you all for your input.
I have not been taking hcg all along. Now after researching it, I find the data very contradictory. I would appreciate some suggestion on when to start utilizing hcg, how frequently, and how much per dose. I realize 500 iu per week was suggested but I have read a much larger dose would be needed to “Kick Start” my natural production.
Any additional information to assist me in my research would be greatly appreciated.
