THANK YOU all for checking out my YouTube. I have been working hard on that bad boy. Check out some of the training vids I did with Scott Stevenson too!
I think I have been very clear and consistent regarding these things. I realize not everyone agrees, and that's ok, it's just my opinion.
There were many an awesome bodybuilder created before blasting and cruising became popular. Believe it or not, people use to come off all the time using mostly HCG and Clomid.
Somewhere along the way, people became convinced you could never come off.
If you can recover your own system with PCT, ALWAYS do that. This is why I recommend it. Now you will eventually come to a point where you can't come off and have to do HRT. That happened to me in 2003. That's when PCT just didnt work anymore and I had to stay on Test.
At some point I realized that I could actually have really good offseasons with low dose test, GH, and a little humalog here and there, and keep my bloodwork in very good shape. That is when I made that my offseason, and then the "blast" would be precontest. if you have tracked my progress over the years you'll see points where i started my "diets" lighter and lighter, not really losing much weight over the course of 12 weeks, but continued to improve despite not getting heavy in the offseason. Having fresh receptors in the pre-contest phase makes a big difference IMO. Common sense also always told me to save the hardening agents until you really needed them so they worked the absolute best.
So anyways, thanks again everyone -- have an awesome weekend.

Good stuff JM, hope you don't think I was coming across as argumentative. Love the videos with you and Scott.
So when you say you couldn't recover in 2003, do you think your levels you were getting were much lower because of your AAS use....or do you think they would have been close to whatever they were if you were natural just due to aging? I'm not sure what your natural levels were but for me personally one of my big concerns with coming off is that my pre-gear levels when I was 20-21 were only 350-450. So I'd love to recover good natural levels as I'm only 26 years old and on 80mg TRT but I feel like my natural levels would only be around 300 or so anyway
Also, you mentioned your blood work has been great with your current off season protocol but have you ever had an echocardiogram or angiogram done? My blood work was usually stellar on just test cycles but I still had dilated cardiomyopathy and a low ejection fraction, which my blood work never would have told me.
