first cycle extension

[thegame01]

i am on my first cycle of test cyp and deca at 300mg/week each.
i am in week 6 of the deca and week 5 of the test.

I am only starting to feel a little stronger and no gains yet .I am not piggin out though,i am still eating very clean but about 3000 cals . I am 5'8" 175 lbs 10%bf. 31 yrs old

Anyways my question is that the original plan was to end the deca at week 10 and the test at week 11 ( 10 weeks each)
But now was tinkering with idea of extending the test for 2-3 weeks or maybe even go with a shorter acting ester.

Just lookin for some advice /suggestions
is it a good idea to extend on a first cycle or should i leave it alone ?

Wait to see what kind of gains you get..if your not happy by week 10, extend it a couple more weeks..I reccomend not to go much beyond 12 weeks for a first cycle though.

your cycle is kinda mild so you might not see awesome gains... if your still gaining at the end i would run it at 12 wks max like DH said. if you want you could do prop weeks 10-13.. just an idea

oh yeah..only run the prop if you decide to do a 10 weeker.. you would start clomid probly 4 days after the last injection..i guess

correct me if im wrong

IMO - we are playing with idea on Receptor Mapping on another board. It really is not pheasable to think that a 31 year old athlete should be recommended the same dose an a 21 year old athlete with a completely different endocrine system. Honestly I think at 31 you should bump up the Test.

Leave the Cypionate dosage alone (since 300mg is a pretty safe start) but slowly add in the Prop. Begin with 50mg every other day. This will raise your total test per week to 475mg (300 Cyp/175 Prop). After a week of that and no problems up it to 100mg EOD, (300 Cyp/350 Prop) for 650 mg every week. If you feel that side effects are starting to take hold - back off the Prop. It is a fast ester and you will be able to lower blood levels easier. You may want to keep Nolvadex on hand also - but the short Prop Ester will be easier to do this with.

Good luck and keep us posted if you choose to do this. I would be interested in your findings. And it will help you for further cycles...

I will be receptor mapping Prop soon to find my ideal weekly Testosterone dose as well. I am also interested in doing it with Norandrolone, Phenylpropinate ester (Durabolin).
