Many new users do not realize that pct is vitally necessary and important to a successful cycle. PCT will determine how much of your gains you keep or do not keep.
The compounds we will discuss are clomid, nolva, and hcg as well as ai's.
We won't get into the science behind it too much since milkin has covered that here. https://musclegurus.to/forum/anabol...erstanding-pct
In here I will cover several different ways to pct. It has been years since I've pct'd, but these are tried and true methods that I've personally used myself. There is debate on this topic, but the methods that will be discussed here work, and I know this through personal experience. If you're new to review sites and don't understand the abbreviations I'll use; here is a link that'll help with that. https://musclegurus.to/forum/anabol...ies-dictionary
The first method which in my opinion is the least desired method but would suffice for a basic beginner's cycle with the understanding that the next two methods would be better is the single SERM method. An example of a beginner's cycle would be 10 to 12 weeks of testosterone only @ 400 to 600mg per week or testosterone and 1 oral. Testosterone 10 to 12 weeks and the oral ran week 1-6. The single SERM method is exactly what it says. 1 SERM ran for pct. You can run either clomid or nolva for pct. Both act in similar fashion, but nolva is stronger which is why higher doses of clomid must be ran. For the beginner's cycle method a 4 week pct plan is usually good enough, but I will also give a 6 week plan too.
Clomid 4 week
week 1 100mg ed
week 2 100mg ed
week 3 50mg ed
week 4 50mg ed
Nolva 4 week
week 1 40mg ed
week 2 40mg ed
wee 3 20mg ed
week 4 20mg ed
Clomid 6 week
week 1 150mg ed
week 2 150mg ed
week 3 100mg ed
week 4 100mg ed
week 5 50mg ed
week 6 50 mg ed
Nolva 6 week
week 1 40mg ed
week 2 40mg ed
week 3 40mg ed
week 4 20mg ed
week 5 20mg ed
week 6 20 or 10mg ed
The next method is the two SERM method. It's a better method for a beginner's cycle, and good for an intermediate cycle. It can be ran for 4 weeks or 6 weeks. Generally for a 10 to 12 week cycle the 4 week pct plan is suffice. For longer cycles such as 16/20/24 weeks the 6 week plan would be the better option.
Clomid/Nolva 4 week
week 1 clomid 100/nolva 40mg ed
week 2 clomid 100/nolva 40mg ed
week 3 clomid 50/nolva 20mg ed
week 4 clomid 50/nolva 20mg ed
Clomid/Nolva 6 week
week 1 clomid 150/nolva 40mg ed
week 2 clomid 150/nolva 40mg ed
week 3 clomid 100/nolva 40mg ed
week 4 clomid 100/nolva 20mg ed
week 5 clomid 50/nolva 20mg ed
week 6 clomid 50/nolva 20 or 10mg ed
The third method is two SERM's and hcg method. This is by far the best method for all cycles, but is a must for advanced cycles. HCG will be ran for 10 days before you start pct @ 500 to 1000iu's per day. On day 11 your pct plan will begin. For an advanced and/or long cycle the 6 week plan would be preferred.
Day 1-10 500-1000iu's hcg ed.
Day 11 pct starts
Clomid/Nolva 4 week
week 1 clomid 100/nolva 40mg ed
week 2 clomid 100/nolva 40mg ed
week 3 clomid 50/nolva 20mg ed
week 4 clomid 50/nolva 20mg ed
Clomid/Nolva 6 week
week 1 clomid 150/nolva 40mg ed
week 2 clomid 150/nolva 40mg ed
week 3 clomid 100/nolva 40mg ed
week 4 clomid 100/nolva 20mg ed
week 5 clomid 50/nolva 20mg ed
week 6 clomid 50/nolva 20 or 10mg ed
Keep in mind that pct will not fully restore your natural testosterone production or levels, but it will aid in getting you on your way. During pct and beyond diet should remain disciplined and traing intensity should be reduced since recovery times will be greatly reduced because your testosterone levels are not what they were while on cycle. Also if you're the guy that is only gonna be off cycle for 8 weeks and then back on pct in reality would not be needed imo.
As for ai's it is best to run them up to your pct and then cease use. Estrogen is needed for your natural homeostasis to be restored.
I see a lot of questions about pct and hopefully this will be helpful to those seeking knowledge, and by all means if any member sees something I left out or has input from their own experiences please chime in.
