Get Shredded!
Hey everyone.

Been on a blast/cruise the last 5 months. Been cruising 6 weeks now and have managed to keep 100% of my weight and 97% of my strength. Loving it. (I am in my late 20's, 188 lbs, 5'9", shredded, currently)

I was planning on cruising another 3 weeks, then blasting for 12, but I am concerned with PCT and recovery afterwards. This would be a 10 month cycle if I continue... Below is an outline of what i've done already.

Weeks 1-14 Test Prop 600mg (Blast stage)
Weeks 9-14 Anavar 75mg (Blast stage)
Weeks 15-20 Test-E 200mg (Cruise stage)

As you can see, I haven't done any real suppressive compounds, just test and var. My next cycle was going to be:

Weeks 1-12 Test Prop 600mg
Weeks 8-12 Anavar 75mg
Weeks 1-12 HCG 250iu 3x/week

Then PCT.

What do you guys recommend? Do you think I will recover just fine with a proper PCT, even after 10 months? I will be using Clomid/Nolva/Aromasin, and of course HCG before PCT begins.

Clomid 100/75/50/50/25
Nolva 40/40/20/20/10
Aromasin 25/25/12.5/12.5/12.5
D-Asparatic Acid - 6 weeks at 5g/day (natty test booster)
Cialis

I can extended PCT for however long I need too as well. My primary concern is a full recovery and a working libido. So- to recap what i've asked already- should I PCT now and worry about this 12 week cycle in 5-6 months, or should I go ahead and do it in 3 weeks, and PCT? This will be my last cycle, perhaps for the rest of my life due to career choices. But I don't want to permanently mess up my HPTA by being on too much at once either. Thanks!

If you are truly concerned about your HPTA then I feel you should just run a full PCT now. In all honesty you won't know if/how this last cycle has affected it until you run a full PCT and wait a couple of months for blood work. Some people can cycle on and off throughout their adult lives and have no permanent issues and others can run just one cycle and have a permanent significant drop in natty production. It's a roll of the dice, brother. Take the gains and knowledge you have now and wait until you are able to cycle later down the road once you have had your family and the blast and cruise lifestyle works for you. Im in my 40's and loving always being "on". Good luck to you.
 
I agree. Run your PCT before you blast. I just came off a heavy 8 month cycle without any issues but I have seen people go on TRT for life running long cycles. Definitely not wort the risk to your HPTA. I know it sucks coming off but maybe look into hgh,slin, igf, sarms and peptides.
 
All good points...listen to these brothers.
 
Definitely not something I wanted to hear, but on the other hand- I know its for the best.

Since I have HCG on hand (I need bacteriostatic water), should I go ahead and order some and run it for 2 weeks prior to starting my PCT? I am new to HCG, but got some with my last pack to prepare for this. Dosing recommendations would be great as well.

HCG definitely makes PCT easier. Larger nuts make PCT easier. Run the HCG with the test. Lower your dose of test to 100 or 150 and do the HCG. Stop the HCG with the test. Even better, since you have test prop on hand, is to switch right now to test prop. Run the HCG with it until your balls grow (you'll be able to tell). Continue the HCG another week and start clomid at 35-50 mg a day during this last week. Taper off the test prop during this week. Then run the clomid and aromasin PCT. ALL of this time you will be running an AI (I prefer aromasin). The nova is not necessary unless your nipples are full of gyno bumps. Clomid at 100 or even 75 is not necessary, either, especially if you start during that last week as you taper off the test. The prop will clear out of your system a lot quicker.

I know that advice is not what they tell you here, but I have tried things the standard way, and I have tried it the way I outline above, and recovery is better the way I outline above, with the test tapering off and some of the compounds overlapping in ways that are not recommended.

I also drink two beers two or three nights a week during PCT. I read a study that said that while alcohol lowers testosterone, ironically mild beer drinking raises it. Weird, but I will take any advantage I can get, and I like beer.

The studies about alcohol lowering testosterone dealt with heavier consumption of alcohol.

I know its a little irrelevant and i dont have any experience switching esters mid cycle myself, but it probably would've been better if you started your enth a couple weeks before you ended your prop
 
Agree with Steve switching from prop to ETH like that is asking to have a dip. When people use prop to kick-start they usually dose it with test e. Then stop about 3rd week as test e should be kicking in.
