PCT For a New Generation. READ THIS Before Asking Any PCT Questions!!!
The History Of Post Cycle Therapy
Look at Arnold. Look at Zane. Look at Dave Draper, Larry Scott, Serge Nubret, Lou Ferrigno, Sergio Oliva. All monsters. All better than you and I will ever hope to be. And they all had one thing in common. They never did PCT. Why? Because there wasn't any.
Right off the bat, this shows the importance of keeping cycle dosage and duration sane. But if these guys had no problems, why is PCT considered so essential? It all started in the 80's. That's when dosages started to climb and an interesting phenomenon occurred. Guys were getting gyno. Holy shit! What to do? Leave it to the madman genius Dan Duchaine to discover the answer -- a drug designed to shrink tumors in the breast -- Nolvadex. Before long, everyone included Nolva. Sometimes during a cycle and always afterward when the T/e ratio was off kilter. It worked. But at a price. Nolva killed gains, and often killed libido. But it was better than having tits.
And before long it considered the safe and responsible thing to do.
But then there were more theories. (Also from Dan. The man was brilliant).
Clomid was similar to Nolva but not site specific. It was an estrogen that competed for e receptors, therefore "eating up" excess estro before it could do its damage. There were a few problems with Clomid though. It was very unreliable. If one's estrogen wasn't very high, it would ADD estrogen, thus making the symptoms of shutdown worse. Clomid also had negative side effects from emotional distress to vision problems. And in many people, it just didn't work. I spoke personally to Dan about this and although he admitted that Nolva wasn't a very good drug, (and ironically didn't use it, even though he "discovered" it) he had higher hopes for Clomid. I think in time Dan would have changed his mind on this one. He often did, not out of capriciousness, but out of open-mindedness. And he would never be opposed to a better option. Clomid is very "hit or miss." And it misses often.
But something happened. It was too late to stop the rumor wagon which had begun right at the dawn of the internet. Now there were self professed gurus everywhere and the proliferation of the Nolva/clomid PCT myth had begun. And it wouldn't die.
Well, I'm here to kill it once and for all.
I always felt Proviron was a better choice to combat estrogen simply for the fact that it's comprised of DHT, which can not aromatize. It also lowers SHBG, which prevents aromatization. So, in essence, it stops the problem before it starts. This was the premise behind UNLEASHED. Lower SHBG and you have more free testosterone without any chance of increased estrogen. (Pretty clever, me thinks). Proviron is still better than Nolva or Clomid, but there have been advances that are better still.
Drugs designed specifically to prevent aromatization hit the market in the 90's. Among them, Arimidex became the most popular due to it's ability to also increase free T and not affect libido. Recently aromasin has become very popular. Both are good, though I find aromasin a little more difficult to dose since it's so strong. A quarter of a tab can still be too much. Nevertheless, both these drugs are vastly superior to Nolva and Clomid. So why do people still take them? Old habits die hard. And old gurus don't know when to shut the fuck up. So we now have people still using these out dated drugs long after there are better alternatives.
Another advancement is the addition of natural subsatnces which help in the restoration of the HPTA. That includes natural T stimulation and estrogen management. After years of extensive research I designed two supplements -- UNLEASHED and POST CYCLE which do just that. Selling supplements designed for hardcore bodybuilders was a hard sell but over the years more and more guys have come around. The stuff works. Works well. Works safely. And works to replace outdated drugs. (I think Dan would be proud). Another sponser on this board has a product called Dermacrine Sustain which also has natty anti e's and has been shown to be very effective for controlling estro and restoring sexual function.
So here is the 2008 procedure for optimum PCT in 3 steps. It will help you recover. It will help you keep your gains. And it will do it without side effects.
ONE: Use HCG.
This is not a cure -- merely something to shock the testes out of slumber and get things moving again. Doing more than is needed is a waste. I find 3 days of 500 ius gets the boys back and that's all that you should expect from this drug.
TWO: Use Arimidex
Unless you cycle consisted of non aromatized compounds. (VERY IMPORTANT! KNOW WHAT YOU"RE USING!) A little dexx will keep e under control.
THREE: Use UNLEASHED, POST CYCLE, and Derma Sustain.
POST CYCLE removes "bad" estrones, repairs liver function and increases erectile function.
Sustain also works to lower estrogen from a separate pathway.
UNLEASHED increases Free T, allowing the body to produce more on its own.
Also impoves libido.
These compounds (HCG, dexx and the supps) also work very well when on HRT to maintain a healthy balance between drug assistance and natural output.
That's it. There it is. Nothing else you need to know. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch, niente, nyet. THIS is the wave of the future and it's long overdue.
PCT has come a long way in the last 20 years. Let's not have continued casualties from archaic techniques. Do it smart. Do it right. And do it every time.
