Hi guys when you run a cycle of test only at what dose of test is it necessary to run hcg ? some people told me if you run over 500mg a week hcg must be included in your cycle.
My Opinion on this is different than most.
On a Test Only Cycle ~ HCG usually isn't necessary.
I will only run HCG for one of 2 reasons, and then Only at Low Doses of 250 IU's twice a week.
I absolutely don't believe these High Doses of HCG that you see recommended will do anything but Cause More Problems.
So where you see Recommendations of 500 IU's a day, for a couple weeks.
Or these Very High Doses of a couple thousand IU's over a couple weeks, aka Power PCT for HPTA restart.
I've seen the Clinical Studies on this, and they confirm Desensitization with High HCG dosing.
So one reason would be Testicular Atrophy, on a Longer Cycle, usually Not necessary with a 10 to 12 Week Cycle.
2nd reason, and I've only ever done this for a Long and Harsh Cycle where I was doing a Blast and Cruise, between my Last Injection and the Start of PCT, again, @ 250 IU's twice a week.
The Problem with HCG is twofold.
If you run High Doses of HCG, you will spike your Estrogen, and Risk Desensitizing the Leydig Cells.
The Leydig Cells are responsible for making Testosterone in the Body..................... JP
