Extending a cycle

[Th3w0rld1sm1ne]

Howdy boys... it's been a long time! Good to see some familiar faces are still active here.

For those of you who don't know me or don't remember me... here are some details that will help you help me. I'm 26, 6'2, 201 pounds. I'm a Mixed Martial Artist with about 6 years of serious conditioning under my belt. I've run 3 cycles in the past, all testE / Tren / EQ cycles for 12 weeks each.

My last cycle (prior to this one) was over 2 years ago.

At any rate, I'm currently training at a boxing gym in Thailand. When I arrived in late July, I wanted to cut about 10 pounds of fat. With all of the cardio we do at the gym though, I was sure a lot of the mass I would loose would be lean mass, so I've been running 750mg of Test E /wk since August 1st. Anyway, I hit my target weight a few weeks ago at 198.

Here's the thing... as of today I am back up to 201 lbs. My body fat seems to be the same. Despite the heavy cardio training sessions I seem to actually be gaining lean mass. I've never been able to gain mass without putting on a little fat as well in the past, but I am eating and training more than I ever have before, so I guess this makes sense. I am running Nolva 20mg ed and clomid 50mg ed and haven't noticed any bloat/ water weight gain.

I had originally planned to run this cycle for 3 months, but am now thinking about running with a good thing and extending it out to 6. You can buy Test E, Nolva and Clomid Over the Counter here, so no problems to extend it... Any thoughts or suggestions? Any concerns I should address?

Sorry for such a long post! More information for you = better answers for me.

Thanks!

Re: Extending a cycle

running long cycles(and I used to love that) makes it harder for your natural test to recover. I also found that after wk12-14 the gains I was seeing were near as good-seem to platuea if you will. If I had to do things over again 10-12wk then cycle out. This is just MHO, but I'm now on HRT and I think truelly because of the long cycles. You are still young=- no need to push things- you have plenty of time

Re: Extending a cycle

my only concern is even though you can get your gear over the counter there was recently a ton of bogus shyt in the drug stores there. i don't remember the name of the suspect stuff.... body something or other. otherwise just do a good pct when ur done. dave palumbo is an advocate for longer, up to 24 week cycles and moderate doses. the belief is the longer cycle gives the body a chance to compensate homeostasis wise to accept the new muscle as normal and u tend to keep more of your gains after cycle.
