Equipoise PCT Start Time

[slothfetish]

Alright boys, another thread about PCT timing.

I plan on running a 16 week cycle with long esters (Test E/EQ) in the near future. This will be my longest cycle and first time I will be trying EQ.

Now, I know you have to wait until all or most of the exogenous hormones are out of your system before a pct can be started to try and get everything working again. Because test E has a half life of approximately 10 days while EQ takes about 14, according to some charts I googled, does that mean I purely go off of the EQ because it takes longer to exit the body?

If that is the case and my cycle was 300mg Test E/ 600mg EQ per week split into 2 injections, it would look something like this:

600mg (from this weeks dose) + 450mg (from last week) + 300mg (from 2 weeks ago) + 150mg (3 weeks before) + 75mg (from 4 weeks before) = 1575mg potentially in you at the end of your cycle.

Which means:
First week off - 1575
2nd - 975
3rd - 525
4th - 225
5th - 75
6th -Start PCT

I got this "template" from the thread titled "third week of pct, libido death! please help" post #22 from Sk8man101 which was done on test E at 500mg/week. According to this I would be starting pct 6 weeks after my last shot of EQ/Test E. Does this sound right? I know it is a long ester but that seems like a hell of a long time to wait to start pct. It is very possible I am missing something.

Let me know what you guys think. I will be looking into adding Prop at the end to shorten the time between PCT as well.

Thanks

I have never done EQ but from what you said about half life I would assume you would end EQ 1 week before Test E and do the PCT 3 weeks after last Test E pin.

Got your pm,
Looks good but most people will run their test e about 2 weeks longer than their eq.
For the obvious reasons, you don't want to be sitting there waiting for the last little bit of eq to clear your system with seriously low t. So since it is only 2 compounds map it out so you can have both ester end at the same time (4 half lives)

Also if it is your first cycle I would drop the eq and go 10-12 weeks test e. Most would recommend a 14-20 week cycle on a long ester like eq and for a first cycle I would keep it shorter. If your heart is really set and your confident in your AAS knowledge, you can run some sort of simple kick start with it like test p or dbol. But trust me man your receptors are so fresh that the test e alone will knock your socks off.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's the reason I was looking into adding prop at the end but yeah, the simple answer seems to be just stopping the EQ a little earlier.

This is definitely not my first cycle, just the longest and first time EQ. I've tried just about everything else. haha.
