In light of my latest cycle of TNT I thought I would research further into the ultimate PCT, Typically my cycles did not go over 16 weeks and I have never had a problem recovering with a basic PCT program. With this cycle I thought I would dig into some more research and write an article using the latest information on pct.
The Ultimate PCT:
Well first off I think I need to go over the main reasons for testosterone shutdown and muscle loss after a cycle. First off the administration of any AAS will inhibit the LH production bringing a halt to natural testosterone production. So this pct program starts at the beginning of the cycle. Administration of HCG should be used threw out the cycle starting two weeks after the first shot and ending two weeks before you start PCT. So what do we dose the HCG at? Well using too much HCG has shown to cause a desensitization of testicular sensitivity so it seems that 250iu Eod or every 4 days due to the half-life is the most effective and safe dose.
Second culprit of testosterone shutdown is estrogen so I recommend using and AI starting two week’s after your first shot. I use Adex and .50 mg EOD, I find this dose will not affect the muscle building potential of the cycler but will help keep estrogen under control making recovery much faster. So that is what I recommend for preventative measures of testosterone shutdown.
Now the third cultrate is cortisol witch after ending the administration of AAS is almost always a problem. So what can we do to help reduce coristal? Clen, HGH, IGF-1, Slin and Vitamin-C all help reduce cortisol. So this PCT will look like the following.
PCT: Starting 2 weeks after your last shot of long acting esters or one week after short acting esters or orals.
AI: You can use any of the following, Arimidex, Letro, Aromasin.
I recommend the following doses:
Arimidex: .50 mg EOD.
Letro: .50 mg EOD.
Aromasin: .25 mg EOD.
I personally use Arimidex continuing threw out the cycle until one week into PCT at .50 mg EOD. (This will help remove all the excess estrogen from your body getting it ready for the SERMs to kick-start your natural test production.)
SERM: You can use the following, Clomid or Novadex.
I recommend the following doses:
Clomid: 150 mg ED for the first three days then dropping to 100 mg for the remainder of the first two weeks and then dropping to 50 mg from weeks 2-4.
Novadex: 40 mg ED for the first two weeks then dropping to 20 mg from weeks 2-4.
Alternatively you could use both Novadex and Clomid.
I recommend the following doses:
100 mg Clomid for the first week along with 40 mg Novadex then dropping to 50 mg Clomid and 20 mg Novadex from the end of week one until week four.
Now for cortisol:
IGF-1 or HGH from week 1-4 will greatly assist in maintaining muscle mass and reducing cortisol levels. I would not recommend HGH to anyone under under the age of 30 unless they have already used this peptide. As for IGF-1 I recommend 10iu bilaterally of the trained muscle immediately POW. For HGH I would recommend 2-4iu 5days a week. Vitamin-C should be used at 3g ED ether before bed or POW to assist in reduction of cortisol.
Now as for diet during PCT it should be high in protein and should have and increased amount of calories to assist in maintaining muscle mass. BCAA’s and creatine can also be used for recovery.
I hope you have enjoyed this article and would like everyone to keep in mind that this article was written from personal experience along with information from other people’s articles and recommendations of PCT use.
