Recover Endogenous Testosterone During PCT Cycle
Post Cycle Therapy is absolutely vital for restoring one’s natural testosterone levels following the use of anabolic compounds.
When we supplement with steroids, the body comes to rely on them as its primary source of the “male” hormone and, consequently, everything from your vitality to your masteron cycle results can suffer.
You need to supplement with supportive elements to both raise your testosterone levels back to (almost) their optimal levels, in conjunction with suppressing estrogen to allow your body to enter / remain in an androgenic state.
In this instance, the anti-estrogenic element isn’t quite as important, but the pro-androgen balance is. You’re going to need to ensure that your levels are able to hit their “peak” again.
In order to do this, you should consider using either nolvadex or clomid after performing a masteron 100 cycle.
Recover Endogenous Testosterone During PCT Cycle using NOLVADEX
If you’re planning on running a nolvadex pct cycle, you simply need to adhere to the following guidelines:
Following a mild anabolic cycle, integrate nolvadex as follows.
| Week | Nolvadex |
|---|---|
| 1 | 20 mg per day |
| 2 | 20 mg per day |
| 3 | 10 mg per day |
| 4 | 10 mg per day |
Following a strong anabolic cycle, integrate nolvadex as follows.
| Week | Nolvadex |
|---|---|
| 1 | 30 mg per day |
| 2 | 20 mg per day |
| 3 | 10 mg per day |
| 4 | 10 mg per day |
When using clomid
If you’re planning on using clomid, you’ll need to integrate it as follows:
Following a mild anabolic cycle, integrate clomid as follows.
| Week | Nolvadex |
|---|---|
| 1 | 50 mg per day |
| 2 | 50 mg per day |
| 3 | 25 mg per day |
| 4 | 25 mg per day |
Following a strong anabolic cycle, integrate clomid as follows.
| Week | Nolvadex |
|---|---|
| 1 | 75 mg per day |
| 2 | 50 mg per day |
| 3 | 50 mg per day |
| 4 | 25 mg per day |
For those implementing pregnyl / HCG
HCG is another popular means of post cycle therapy, or that is to say: it can further enhance a post cycle window.
You’ll need to perform your “mini” pregnyl cycle on its own before you integrate the above listed products.
It should be noted that an advanced tactic (such as the implementation of pregnyl) like this should only ever be incorporated onto the end of a particularly “harsh” cycle as per our advanced cycle option.
The heightened level of strength of the included compounds would warrant an additional level of safeguarding such as this.
You have two options at your disposal for HCG administration within a post cycle capacity, which are as follows:
3-week mini cycle
| Week | Nolvadex |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2,000 IU every 3 days |
| 2 | 2,500 IU every 3 days |
| 3 | 3,000 IU every 3 days |
(Or you could implement it in the following fashion):Sustained 10-day use.
| Week | Nolvadex |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1000 IU per day |
| 2 | 1000 IU per day |
| 3 | 1000 IU per day |
| 4 | 1000 IU per day |
| 5 | 750 IU per day |
| 6 | 750 IU per day |
| 7 | 750 IU per day |
| 8 | 500 IU per day |
| 9 | 500 IU per day |
| 10 | 500 IU per day |
Both of these options are going to prove useful, and either one will certainly assist in the recovery of natural hormonal output.
A quick note on when to start PCT.
Contrary to popular belief, your PCT phase should never start immediately after finishing your cycle. You need to allow the compound you have used to successfully leave your system prior to implementing any form of therapy.
In regards to the ester specific masteron usage (as outlined above), you should integrate your PCT window as follows:
- 3-4 days after your last administration on a propionate / short ester cycle
- 14 days after your last administration on an enanthate / long ester cycle
Please note that should you ever choose to use the sustanon variant of testosterone enanthate or the nandrolone decanoate (deca), you’ll need to leave a three weeks (21 days) gap between your last administration and the start of your PCT window.
This is due to the three week half life of the decanoate ester.
Other than in the specific two instances we have just mentioned, a 14 day period will suffice when using masteron enanthate in conjunction with any other long ester based steroids.
