Blast-cruise- then off?

[bber99]

How many guys here have been able to alternate blast-cruise cycles for longer periods of time and then successfully come off and have a healthy HPTA?

This question isn't really for me (yet) but a buddy of mine has been alternating blast-cruise for about a year now and has decided that he wants to try coming off.
How aggressive of a PCT and how long will it take for levels to normalize?

He has been doing 5000iu/week of HCG +clomid during his cruise phases.

Blast/Cruise is something HRT people do, and HRT is for life. From my experience, I would guess he can reach 50-70% of his original natural production assuming it was good to begin with. IMO, after a year straight of AAS, he will never reach full test production again.

ive read it could take 9 months or more depending, i opted to just stay on androgel inbetween blasts forever......................no way i could function properly

it sure beats being a drunk or rec drug addict

He has been doing 5000iu/week of HCG +clomid during his cruise phases.

Whether he can recover to a normal state really depends more on his genetics than PCT, because some people can recover and some people simply can't after being on for a very long period of time.

I'd do a 4 month PCT of...

Nolva 20mg/ED all the way through
Clomid 100mg/ED all the way through
Arimidex 0.5mg/EOD first 2 months
HMG 75iu/EOD or 3 times a week for first 2 months

I'm a little worried that you say he's been doing 5000iu/week of HCG because that is WAY too much, actually 5000iu/week is 10 times more than what you should be using during a cycle and his leygid cells/testes are going to be severely desensitized from all that HCG, unless you meant to say he was taking 500iu/week which would have been perfect. That excess amount of HCG could actually be a big problem if he really was taking that much, recovery will be real hard, maybe not even possible.

Well all I can say is that he can try doing a PCT like I described but if he gets blood work done and his test levels still come back real low a couple months after hes done with PCT, he most likely will have to be permanently on TRT.

Not quite true, it's also commonly used termonology with DC training where you blast (obviously in this case with aas) and cruise (with PCT) to keep your HPTA from shutting down too hard. This enables a much easier recovery than just blasting for 20 weeks straight.
