how long 3 months, ive always herd 3 months on 3 months off or 10 weeks on 10 weeks off, im taking 400 mgs of eq and 550 mgs of test what are the side effects of staying on that for 4 or 5 months, i know i know i have to come off sometime but i just hate to. :(

No, that time off is not enough IMHO.

The side effects are gonna be a really shitty recovery.

If you wanna stay on long then run lower dose test based cycles with HCG periodically.
 
I think that HCG should be started about 1 week before the end of the cycle.

Some bro's run it throughout the cycle.

personally i'm a fan of longer cycles because i know that the time off will far exceed time on. anything over a 12 weeker should get more than equal time off, IMO. i usually run closer to 20 weekers and take close to 30 weeks off. also as karch was saying, when you run longer cycles PCT must be administered like clockwork and for adequate time because your natural test has been suppressed for quite some time and your body will have a harder time adjusting to normal, stable natural test levels.

i think the general concensus is that there's not too much wrong with longer cycles, so long as its for the right reasons and you've properly educated yourself. bros get concerned when they hear "because i just don't wanna get off the stuff". IMO as the sole excuse, that's no reason to extend.
 
Karch, do you think its much more difficult for good PCT recovery with longer cycles (say 12+ weeks) as opposed to <10 week cycles?
