The Ebbs & Flows over the years as far as PCT is concerned and debated!
I won’t argue with people anymore about PCT. You either understand it’s importance or you don’t. PCT, and by PCT I mean the drugs we choose to use and the cycle plan we have for them. I’ve learned to not only have some type of SERM or AI (usually both) always on hand because I’m always worried about estrogen rebound and testicular atrophy…even when I’m off cycle, and have run a solid and fruitful post cycle. ** Now I'm extremely more AI timid than I was then....to many guys take WAY TO FUCKIN MUCH AROMATASE INIHIBITORS AND END UP WITH E2 LEVELS THAT MAKE YOU START TO EMOTIONALLY STRUGGLE.
Low Estrogen can suck as bad as low Test.
Here it is guys…You need to have your Nolva, Clomid, Fareston, Letro, Adex, Teslac….whatever you will be using in hand before you do your first injection on the first day of your cycle. These drugs don’t just help us recover, they also help us to be both PRO-active and RE-active in the face of possible side effects. But having aromatase inhibitors is just like having a fire extinguisher.
The determining factor on aromatase, be it controlling it or just keeping it monitored is not you using the "feels" method....it's your lab results and a professionals instruction that leads to success and avoids....well....possibly tits and a ton of awkward explaining.
This is the “rub” if you will…plan your cycle. That is going to be step one. Then plan your PCT. It should form fit the type of cycle you are running in terms of suppression of hpta, length of suppression, and this is determined by the steroids you are coming off of. Now…we’ve said 1) plan cycle; 2) plan PCT; 3) begin to order your supplements…but don’t get the fun stuff in first and then worry with the PCT drugs later….HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO RUN AND RECOVER IN YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU BEGIN ANYTHING!!!! Some will say that’s dumb, and some won’t understand why it matters, but I say this—-You are on week 6 of a 12 week mass building cycle. You are in the gym doing squats and your spotter is eye-screwing some girl on the treadmill and doesn’t notice you bury yourself under 6 plates for set number 4/ rep number 5….your ankle and lower back give, and….well, any number of bad things can happen from there. Bottom line bro-you’re hurt. You can’t workout because the doctors just stuffed your insides back into your rectum and to top it off- you have no drugs to cycle off. But I've once more left out the vital ruler of your cycle future in a manner of speaking.
LABS PRE CYCLEE, CONTINUE TO SEE DOC OR GET HORMONE PANELS THROUGHOUT CYCLE. AND DON'T IGNORE WHAT YOUR BODY IS SAYING VIA BLOOD HORMONE RESULTS!!!!
Plan your cycles carefully and by using research and for God's sake get lab work and then allow results to guide you !
Running steroids isn't taking creatine in the locker room after practice.....it can seriously cause problems if not done responsibility.
Lets look at why PCT isn’t something to take lightly.
1) PCT drugs help your hpta return to pre cycle...hopefully! LH & FSH must begin natural production.
2) PCT serves as the dividing line between on and off cycle, remember…there should be no grey area when it comes to “off cycle time.”
3) PCT, when worked properly will minimize muscle loss and maximise positive mood and energy after you stop AAS administration.
Forgive my revised repost of an older write up on PCT, but as I live and breat, you have to understand the awsome importance of a personalized and effective post cycle therapy in tandem with good trusted blood work.
FOR ANY NEWBIES...PLEASE FEEL THE SERIOUSNESS I'M ATTEMPTING TO INDOCTRINATE INTO YOUR SUB-CONSCIENCE .
PLEASE ask any questions you may have. The only stupid question is a question you say fuck it...I ain't asking that....
Thanks for reading and hopefully taking something away with this.
