PCT After comp

[Shmeezy]

Hey guys,

Just finished a show which I placed third in my class (men's physique) and qualified for nationals.

My question is...

I did test p and winny for my show. Stopped the test 11 days out and kept the winny in.

For PCT I have hcg, nolvadex, and clomid.

Should I take all 3 or skip hcg?

I was thinking hcg for 10 days then nolvadex 20mg ed for 4 weeks and clomid 50mg for 4 weeks (100mg week 1)

Any help would be appreciated

You never want to use HCG in a PCT protocol because it is suppressive of natural testosterone production. If you take some time to do some research on HCG, you will find that it does more harm then good. Read this: http://www.evolutionary.org/hcg-dangers-exposed/

The old school 2 SERM nolvadex and clomid PCT is not optimal at all. It is very old school. The best PCT protocol you can run is the perfect PCT protocol -> http://www.evolutionary.org/the-perfect-post-cycle-therapy-pct/

That's what I recommend. The SARMS used in the perfect PCT protocol will prevent muscle loss during your PCT when your hormones are low. The perfect PCT protocol will ensure your natural testosterone production recovers optimally and you keep all the gains you made from your steroid cycle. Run the protocol exactly as laid out and you have nothing to worry about.

I would not use HCG, neither on cycle, nor off cycle, since its benefits are definitely not worth all the risks. It can cause such side effects as gyno and suppression, and it will barely do anything for your natural testosterone production. In fact, it only mimics the functions of LH and FSH, but it will not actually make them work. As a result, you will get an increased level of testosterone only while you take HCG, which will drop back down as soon as you stop using it. Therefore, it would make sense to use something that will cause less side effects and actually do something for your natural testosterone production. For instance, you can use HCGenerate ES - it will keep the plums big and functioning during the cycle, and it will be a great help for natural testosterone production during PCT, since it will make LH and FSH actually work. As a result, your body will keep producing testosterone even after you stop taking it. However, unlike HCG, it will not cause any side effects at all, and it is more convenient, since it is taken orally. Besides, the libido boost from HCGenerate ES is a sight to see.

Therefore, just use nolvadex and clomid, and if possible - go with the perfect PCT protocol in order to keep as much of the gains as possible, and have a smooth recovery.

I would have taken the hcg during the cycle, even though my opinion is very unpopular here.

As you are already done, just hop on that nolva+clomid pct. Its too late for the HCG

congrats on your showing. you proved you don't have to run a ton of gear to do well in a bodybuilding show. I wish more guys would focus more on getting their diet and training dialed in, rather then hopping on slobs of gear

Since you took a short ester and have been off 11 days, you are fine to start SERMS immediately. HCG will be no good at this point. It will only suppress you further. I would also add in Ostarine and Cardarine if finances permit. Congrats on your show as well!
