it can take you anywhere from a few months to two years for your htpa to return to normal values;
all the sides of high estrogen;
all the sides of low test;
and "all" means a lot of miserable and adverse sides
W/ out PCT you wont keep as many gains, if any! It'll take longer (way longer) to get your natural test levels back up. W/ Dec you'll run into the dreaded Deca dick problem of not being able to satisfy you partner *wink.
Not too mention the obvious of having all your shit together inclucding A.I's for and sides. PCT "gear" can be bought for less then $150.00 That's a few coffee's and what not.
I could prably go on for an hour, but clearly some research on your part is in order.
The people that say this shit are idiots and or cheap! why would you want to risk not recovering properly too save a few bucks! example- 17 year old kid at my gym ran 1g YES 1g of deca for 10 weeks got totally shut down lost pretty much all his gains and when i asked what he ran for pct he's like 'whats pct?' i expalined and he just says 'fuck wasting your money on that, im savin for my next cycle!. I have not seen him for months i heard he dosnt train when his off cycle!
i have a few friends who dont run PCT...they are idiots. they dont keep much of their gains... I always preach to them the importance of it...they just dont believe in it i guess. Knuckleheads.
