24 weeks is what I did.

It's not as easy as saying I'm running a 12 week or 24 week cycle. You assess your progress/sides/etc as you go. When you hit around 12 weeks you assess everything...if it's time to come off, you come off. If everything is going well and you're continuing to grow or get results you go to 14, then 16, etc.

You have to be fluid an listen to your body. There are no absolutes in bodybuilding.

I have tended to do longer cycles. But there is no 1 right answer as i see it. Just depends on experience, goals, long and short term negative side effects one is willing to put up with etc.

I'm not an expert, having only a couple recent cycles under my belt after decades off.
I tend to aim for a minimum duration and stop when I get to a point where either sides outweigh the benefits or I plateau at a level where changes would undoubtedly cause an increase in unacceptable sides. Verify progress a minimum of one time during the cycle.
Example, I aimed for an 8 week cycle and ended at 11. There were a couple weeks where I was making dosage ratio adjustments. I could eliminate those from the equation and say my planned 8 week cycle was a 9 cycle, but was 11 weeks on gear total. I ran labs in the middle, saw prolactin and E were in control after dosage adjustments, added the extra length at end.

Blood work is always the key I was on a pretty long cycle before no problems then I just did another long one and I had to shut it down early because my blood work looks like shit so it's very hard to tell what your body's going to do at the time

300 mg for 1st time cycle

Why do 300 when it's going to shut you down the same as 500mg/week? I mean, if the amount of shut down you're going to experience is the same, why not do a solid 500mg/week cycle? I'm still a beginner so I could be wrong from all the pros here but what I've learned was- 500mg/week test for 16 weeks. No Dbol Kickstarter bullshit coz you still don't know how to handle E2 issues.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
