just curious, anyone who recommends HCG on cycle versus off-cycle bigger than this guy:

as a follow up question: anyone who recommends HCG on-cycle versus off-cycle ever try them both and can legitimately compare the two methods?
The rapid rise in both testosterone, and thus oestrogen due to aromatisation, from the administration of HCG causes further inhibition of the HPTA. This actually worsens the recovery situation. HCG does not restore the natural testosterone production.
I've read several articles on this that point to hcg use during recovery being counterproductive. Stevesmi also posted a good thread on why its a better option before pct, it had some good points as well. I'm not talking about people that stay on either.. This doesn't apply to trt. If you have science contradicting this I'm interested in your findings but I won't accept "this guy is huge and uses hcg in pct" as a valid point
