Running HCG the entire cycle?

[Pump2356]

I am going to be doing my first cycle of 500mg of test and 400mg of eq for 10-12 weeks. Is it safe to run 500iu once a week through the entire cycle so I don't get shut down? I want make sure I can run hcg that long since I read a lot that should only be run for a short amount of time but what is considered short? Would 10 weeks be too long? or maybe start the 4th week?

Thanks!

Running HCG isn't going to keep you from shutting down. It won't hurt to use it to keep your nuts plumped up, but with that cycle it isn't really necessary. PCT and time are what will bring your natural test back up.

A very knowledgeable HRT Dr. who goes by the name Swale advocates HCG throughout cycle to keep testicular mass, this way testes are ready for pct at the end. He calls for 250 iu daily or 500 twice weekly if I remember correctly. I would tend to follow the advice of someone who has worked with dozens of gear using atheletes. Good luck
