PCT and my approach to it

For us guys that cycle on and off PCT or post cycle therapy can be tough. With symptoms that are downright depressing.

Loss of gains
Lack of Libido
Fatigue
Depression
General loss of well being

This can be avoided but timing is key and determination and drive are the tools you need other than the supplements you take. Many of the vets here are TRT and some are not. Some can get bloods pulled and some can’t. Some can handle Clomid and others can’t so there’s one way to do it. There are guidelines to start by and adjust as your body reacts.

Time on = time off. This is the oldest rule in the book but for people in Places that can not get bloods without a doctor release it’s a solid approach still. Time on cycle plus PCT = time off

For people that can get tested keep in mind that a true reading will only come not only after esters have cleared but also after PCT support drugs as well. Clomid half life of 14ish days and the same for nolvadex as well so these will need to clear as well.

So after last pin of AAS you can’t expect to get an accurate reading until 9 or so weeks. Even then I do test every two weeks to watch the numbers. Testing at the same time of the day and on the same day of the week will show if natural homeostasis has occurred.

Here’s my PCT layout

I’ve been running Blue Tops GH (Mecca)through this cycle and will continue until maybe winter time.

HCG (also Mecca)is ran at 500iu eod 6 weeks prior to last pin then continued until esters have cleared and for me this should be about 21 days after last pin of test. Some say 250iu is enough but all agree that over stimulation can cause desensitization of the Testees.

Clomid and nolvadex is started two weeks after last pin and run for 4 weeks at this amount
Clomid 50/20/20/10 (some say 50/50/20/20 but that’s not for me and it may be best for you but you’ll have to find this out for yourself)
Nolvadex. 40/40/20/20 (if you’ve been running nolva on cycle for gyno defense then dropping it down to 20mg a day on PCT is fine unless you are still seeing symptoms of gyno)

Continued AI is needed as well. If your body has too much E2 (5 to 1 ratio of test to estrogen is optimal) then you will get NO signals from the pituitary gland to produce test so it’s very important to have it controlled.

You can add Mecca root or test booster if you like (I feel they are a waste of money and the best test boosters is called heavy squats and deads) there’s a ton of things like this you can add that can be found at any vitamin store.

This is my plan and all my products are of top quality because in bodybuilding or fitness is not an area to short cut your gainz

Have you tried d aspartic acid in the PCT?

What do you think of short cycles? I'm talking about 4-6week cycles with short esters.
4 weeks on 4 weeks off with test prop/base.

I got a friend on another forum that uses the amino but I haven’t. It’s a short lived action and mainly used as a temp test boost to help with fertility but does work. So it wouldn’t hurt. It’s long term effects is what’s at question with some Studies showing a decline after 12 days of stoppage.

I like short cycling with short esters but 4 on and 4 off doesn’t give enough time for growth and recovery is 6 on and 7 off is worth a go. I’d like to if bloods levels can return to normal that quickly with such a short shut down. I’d run HCG through the whole cycle and nolva/Aromasin as AI then cut to just Aromasin in a 2 week pct. just my thoughts on it. I’ve never ran one that short but the idea is interesting.

I'm 58 and considering my age I only go off of mild dosages for one month at a time and no PCT, just enough to clean the receptors a bit, then back on for anywhere from 200-400 my test wk, 250 my decca, and maybe another anabolic, always moderate dosages, my logic is I can stay on for longer times, maybe 6 months or longer and not see any diminishing effects, now if I doubled dosages I might see a slightly better effect but would have to come off quicker, and of course I may be comprimising my health, and would have to use PCT.

The matrix changes when you get older, but I may put in some DBOL for 8 wks here soon

According some doctors I follow they threshold of organ damage is around 600mg a week. With a dose of under that one could run longer, and I like the idea of “cleaning out the receptors” I see them as spark plugs and they get gummed up.

If I was blast and cruise (which we all know is a distinct possibility at any time because full recovery is never a guarantee) I’d run a moderate dose for 16 weeks then back down to a maintenance dose (100mg Test and 200mast or deca) for at least 8 weeks. But that’s just me and I would make adjustments as I see how my body handles it. Everyone is different and get different results with different Applications.

I've tried d aspartic acid alone and sometimes I feel like it works, sometimes it doesn't. I wasn't on gear and didn't use it in pct.
I recommend people and my friends to use d aspartic acid and it helped them a lot.
Haven't been able to do many cycles. I really wanna try short cycle like 4-6 week one. Don't think HCG is needed since the cycle is short, not much testicular atrophy (wouldn't take high dosages).
Isn't clomid needed in the pct after short cycle?



Change up the compounds if you feel like "receptors getting clogged". Pros do this.

You may not need HCG with the short cycle like you proposed. Run it and keep a log to see how it works Im a bit curious myself.

Clomid is recommend but it’s really just any of the E receptor blocker’s that needed. Sarms

If I manage to get some test base I will make a log here. I'm off topic now but this is what the cycle will look like, just to see how the gains and recovery will be:

week 1-6: test base(oil) 75mg ed
week 1-8: aromasin 10mg ed


Don't know if I'm gonna add something else. I want to add some dbol or anadrol but this will change recovery time and everything. If I feel like this cycle is successful I will add some dbol or anadrol next cycle just to see how much different the recovery time will be.

If I had some more money I would do bloodwork to check hormone levels and everything pre, mid and post cycle.

That’s would be great! I’d love to see how this works

To update, I just finished my fourth week of PCT so no more HCG injections and now I’m only taking Clomid, nolva, MT2, HGH. This week will be my last with Clomid and nolva. Feeling pretty good itching to get back in the gym after my long weekend with the family and wife in surgery I was only able to get one session of squats in. I’ll pull bloods after next week then start pulling them every two weeks until I get a clear pic of how I’m recovering.

5th week of PCT. and I feel amazing. I don’t have evidence to prove this because I’ll be pulling bloods soon but I still having nolva and Clomid in my system will throw the results off. Libido strong, lifts strong, mental strong.

I’ll never do PCT without GH. The hcg was used the last 6weeks of cycle. Still up if you want to see my set up.

Soon I’ll have bloods but I feel I’ll have a full recovery after a 20 week run. But we shall see. This week I will stop Clomid and nolva so I’ll let y’all know if there’s a change in how I feel.

Thank you! I have a tendency to skip over the forum button and go straight post. I guess you can call me a premature poster. Lol

What me decide was realizing that the anti Es and what not were much more destructive than good natural old test. Plus I become a weepy old lady on clomid. Lmao.
 
I really think HCG during the entire cycle is the most important part of PCT. That and keeping mind that 19-Nors are just not the same as any other AAS and recovery takes longer.

I personally prefer kickstarting with Clomid and transitioning to Torem in week 3(and dropping Clomid entirely for week 4 and 5). I also do a 5 week PCT because my cycles are usually 4 months at a minimum and usually more than 6. I don't even know why I go off anymore honestly :laugh:

6 months is a long cycle bro. But if you are recovering then hell yeah bro. I agree with HCG through the whole cycle for a few reasons. But according to Dr. Rand (which I love that dude) the balls only really need it the last 6 to 8 weeks if a cycle to slowly kick start what he calls a Diesel engine in you testes.

Feeling it a bit now. No more Clomid or nolva but I’m throwing in some GW from Sarms Science to help me push through the workouts.
