PCT & TRT
ad
Thanks in advance! Question on going into PCT after a cycle and when to start TRT.
I am currently running the cycle below (400mg Sustanon/20mg Avavar/.5mg Arimidex). For PCT I have been planning on Aromasin, Clomid, and Nolvadex for 6 weeks (detailed attached as an image)
I would like to roll onto a TRT program after a cycle (200-250mg Sust). My natural free T is 14-15.
Main questions:
- What combination/timing should I do of PCT/TRT?
- Sustanon best for between cycle TRT?
Any other recommendations (or eviscerations) are welcome!
Cycle:
| Sustanon | Anavar | Arimidex | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 300-400mg/wk | 20mg/day | .5mg EOD | ||

Just asked to have my account deleted after seeing how some of this forum rolls, no need for that shit in my life. I appreciate those that responded constructively.

You might rethink lifestyles.
Jeeez. This is a newbie forum right? No questions allowed I guess? Newbies arent holy enough? I LOVE the anonymous hostile judgement from half of these responses on this. You guys really don’t want to build any good vibes in a community, just tear people down. That is a terrible way to live your life.
RustyhookerSelf prescribed big cycle in an unhealthy state. Yup.
In addition to what has already been said here; 200mg-250mg isn’t TRT, that is a low end cycle. I would suggest that is far too high a weekly dose. As BrainsNGainz said below, 125mg is far more representative of what a clinic or Dr. may prescribe. You’ll find many on this forum that cruise at 200mg, but that isn’t TRT, that’s cycle territory. And to echo what’s been said; read & research well & thoroughly. Longevity is the key & despite the fact we may seem cavalier about AAS here, this is serious business.
You're misunderstanding some basics here. PCT is for restarting your natural production, which if you're on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, there's no need to do Post Cycle Therapy. Are you trying to get doctor prescribed TRT or are you just going to manage it yourself?
You are spot on, that is where my confusion comes in, the relationship between PCT and TRT. Do I balance them, only do one, do both by following with another, etc? Self-managed.
PCT = Only if the plan is to no longer take any exogenous steroids for a while, meaning you did a cycle and are coming off completely. The purpose is to get your body to produce hormones on its own again and get back to "normal" (hopefully).
TRT = Long term plan for exogenous testosterone, so there is no need for PCT. You can do a cycle and transition straight into TRT by lowering your Test dose to whatever keeps you within "normal" range (~125mg/week, depends on the person).
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
There's too much for me to explain to you man, you should have spent some time learning about the effects of AAS before you started using them but I'll start you on your journey.
When you take exogenous hormones (steroids) your natural production of testosterone stops. People who are on Testosterone Replacement Therapy are using exogenous testosterone to replace their natural production. Post cycle therapy is about restarting your NATURAL production of testosterone, hence the name POST cycle therapy. As in after your cycle. If you're going to be on TRT, and you don't have a natural production of testosterone to go back to, then you don't need PCT. I'm not endorsing you being on TRT, hope this helps.
Thanks, doing my best to research. I couldn't find anything explicitly addressing the relationship between these, so questions need to be part of my journey. I appreciate the guidance.
