16 weeks too long for a first cycle???

[vitamint]

I'm currently on my first cycle, which consists of 500mg enanthate and 300 mg deca per week. Since it is my first cycle, I only planned to run it for 10 weeks. Catch is, I'm a powerlifter, and I'd really like to compete while sauced (rather than waiting several months until my next cycle).

Catch is, I planned to take my last shot on February 10, but the only "untested" meet that is within driving distance is on April 3.
So, I have two questions:

1) Is extending my first cycle to 16 weeks a responsible thing to do?
2) If I do extend it to 16 weeks, that will mean I take my last shot on March 23. That is 11 days before the meet...........can I bank on the enanthate and deca to still be at peak levels after 11 dry days?

Much Appreciation,
Vitamin T

both the deca and test will be in your system 11 days after your final shot, and quite possibly still at peak levels. i won't comment on the "untested" competition :)

Vita, I would go ahead with 16 weeks. I did 16 weeks my first cycle and am very glad I did. And yes you should have PEAK levels of enanthate and Deca still when you go to compete. I would jump on some Halo bro, if this isnt tested and get some great strength before your comp. 15mgs/ed for 6 weeks prior to comp will do you just fine. PEACE! KIR

Oh shit this is your first cycle. Scratch the halo idea. Sorry.

I wouldn't have recommended 16 weeks for a first cycle, but listen to your body Bro.
If everything is in check, and you're not bothered with sides, the test might be ok.
I can't recommend Deca for 16 weeks though. You will really be supressed just from the cycle length alone.

I am four weeks into PCT from a 16 weeker and was shut down pretty hard from 250 mg/wk test cyp and 400 mg/wk 1-test.
If I had it to do over, I would have incorporated HCG into the cycle, as recovery is really slow.

If 16 weeks on deca will supress me that bad, do you have any suggestions as to how I can extend this cycle to 16 weeks?
Maybe swap out the deca for something else?
Also, if I were to drag this out to 16 weeks, should I hold off on the clomid until I'm totally finished, or should I take it every third week.

Thanks

Swap Deca for EQ if you want.
