PCT
PCT stands for post cycle therapy. The PCT is just protocol to restore natural testosterone via signalling the pituitary gland through the hypothalamus.
The hypothalamus is the regulator for the HPG axis. The HPG axis is an endocrine system in your body that controls test levels by releasing GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone). This tells the anterior pituitary to release LH and FSH. These are the hormones that regulate testosterone and sperm.
During your cycle there's exogenous androgens in your body so the body recognizes that and adapts. So naturally your HPG Axis gets shut down. So obviously on cycle use HCG and also keep your e2 in range.
After you conclude your cycle you'll want to wait a couple weeks before you PCT, this will be the time it takes for the exogenous testosterone to leave your system. Usually around 2-4 weeks. You can also use HCG as a mono therapy before the PCT. Just note that you should stop HCG a couple days before implementing your SERM.
Now moving onto SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators) there are different SERMs you can use on your PCT however I think you should go with enclomiphene.
Enclomiphene works by being an estrogen receptor antagonist in the pituitary gland. This makes your body think you have low estrogen when in reality you're at normal levels. This will cause your HPG axis to boot back up again and start promoting production of GnRH, LH and FSH in order to create endogenous testosterone for aromatization to combat the “low estrogen”. This is how a SERM works in PCT
When you finally start taking your enclomiphene you're gonna wanna start at a high dose and then taper down with time. For example 12.5-25mg for the first 4 weeks and then titrate down to 6.25-12.5mg for the next 4 weeks. Once you get bloodwork and confirm your natural testosterone production is back is when you can come off of PCT.
Now you might be like “I don't wanna hop off cycle nooooo”. I don't blame you, that's why there's a more mogger option
Blasting and Cruising
Blasting and Cruising means you don't hop off cycle, you just adjust your testosterone dose to be that of a TRT dose (150-200mg).
Just cruise at a lower dose of testosterone for about 8 weeks while your body recovers, after this 8 weeks you can check bloods and if everything looks good and you feel good you can start another blast. (The number varies when you start adding in other compounds)
This helps you maintain way more gains than PCTing.
Pretty water but I was informed that my big ass thread would be unable to fit in this thread maker and do I really wanna mess with imgur?
