Are Intermediate-Length Steroid Cycles Ever a Good Idea?
Q: “Most of the anabolic steroid cycles you describe are either in the 8-12 week range, or are exactly 2 weeks long.

What Can Luteinizing Hormone Values Tell Me About My Natural Testosterone Production?
Q: “I do blood testing frequently between steroid cycles, and my LH is all over the map. Values are different even when testosterone is the same.
