Do you use PCT after your AAS cycle? Why or why not?

[superqt4u2nv]

Slat I've tested this on myself, and I'd say there evidence for testosterone suppression with resulting loss of muscle. I've come off cold (ie. not PCT at all) and with something to jumpstart my T production again, and retained more LBM with the PCT.

FWIW I used freeze-dried garlic at 7000mg a day the last half of the cycle to keep my T production from suppressing, and stayed at that level for the first four weeks off.

I've read a FBB'ers who suggest actually taking stuff to increase E immediately aftercycle to avoid the sometimes substantial E rebound which can end up causing large muscle loss.

I like that garlic idea just haven't found the freeze dried stuff to try it. I think it would interesting to test it when not on cycle see what it does. I only get a bad esttrogen rebound when I take novladex it would be nice if there was something to help with that.

Here you go. Best price I've found.

Do you believe in tapering off or stopping cold?

Always - ALWAYS tapering. Especially with t3/t4 and anti-e's.

I have to wonder what a topical progesterone cream would do? It's available OTC in health food stores (at least in the US). It's what Dr. John Lee recommends for excessive estrogen. Granted, it's usually used by women who are perimenopausal/postmenopausal but I have to wonder if it might help ... I assume most women who are in competition condition or are finishing up a cycle have stopped menstruating/ovulating, they could be, by default, low or deficient in progesterone.

Ummm all excessive marketing aside, PCT as many of the women know IS NOT needed. Adding more compounds is a waste of money. If anything just take in more bcaa's and rest up. Cortisol is a two edged sword. Best bet is just train, eat plenty of quality protein/bcaas AND rest.
