HCG.. Better using during cycle OR is for PCT better???? What is your preference.....

ad

Hey ppl.. This is an ongoing conversation I hear in the gym, read about on the intranet, see and watch on youtube and the list keeps going... What is your preference using HCG??? I see ppl post it in cycle logs using it during their cycle OR at the end of it.. I have and am using it during my PCT cycle now and feel it is doing its job as expected. For anyone who has used it DURING their cycle, please chime in and give me your thoughts and experience and benefits using it on cycle.. This is one of those topics I get mixed reviews and opinions on so lets hear it from the community... Peace out...

Start 2 weeks prior to ending cycle and finish 1 week after ending cycle.

It really depends on your cycle and dosage and half life of used goods. With some cycles 1to 2 weeks before end is good...for others a post 1-2week hcg is good. It's a cycle by cycle basis but I think you'd be safe 2 weeks prior 1 week post

Hey man I had a quick question if u could help me out that'd be really appreciated. Anyhow I did one shot of trenbolone. Actually just 1 cc and am needing to wait a little bit cause a few family matters came up. My question is do I have to do pct for one single shot off tren? Your advice would be amazing

Nope you're in the clear.

I may be the only one who states it, but I know alot of guys locally that do it as well as myself, and that is an HCG blast prior to starting PCT. I noticed once I hit 30 it was alot harder to reset natty levels through the basic clomid/nolva PCT. So after some research and advice from a couple guys I know who have been lifting/ competing for many years I went with a blast. And it worked. Basically, after a test prop taper to clear all long ester's, after day 3 I did my first blast of 2500 iu, and a second blast of 2500 iu 7 days later. 5 days after that I started my clomid/ nolva for 4 weeks. I had blood work done only 8 weeks from the end of my cycle and my test was back to just below 500. So as far as a blast goes, yes in my opinion it works considering it always took me much longer for levels to get back to an acceptable range. This is strictly my opinion and what has worked for me in the past. However, I think that as we age, HCG will be more useful when it is incorporated into a cycle, and that is what I plan to during my upcoming run. I still cycle on and off and will be 35 next month and this past PCT has been the most difficult for me to recover from to date. Hope this helps Mobman!

It does broski and I do appreciate ur input and sharing ur experiences with HCG and how it has helped u in the past.. I do agree with the older we get, the more it is needed on cycle for the reasons u outlined out in ur comment. I am soon to be 52 and know its harder to recover in the end after long cycles etc..

I never use it during PCT. When I first started run cycles I never used it at all. But as I got older I found it more and more difficult to recover. Not the actual recovery part as my test levels always came back to where they should be. Rather the actual experience of recovery became worse and worse. Then I decided to introduce HCG which I now always used throughout my cycles at 250IU twice a week. Since then I no longer have a bad time on recovery. I can only assume it has a singnificant benefit. I personally believe it is because it allows the leydig cells remain sensitised to LH throughout the cycle and not take a number of weeks to become re-sensitised to the increased production of LH. There are lots of different views on this and I'm not trying to start this debate again. Just sharing my experiences and view.

Thats why I posted this topic bro, to get members opinions and experiences using HCG and the pros and cons from doing so. Ur donation to this topic is greatly appreciated as with all the others as well..

I start 7 weeks out at 250iu twice a week then last week before pct take 1000iu twice along with 2 doses of hmg at 75iu. 4 days after last dose I start clomid/nolva. I have found this method has pretty much taken out the dip that is associated with cycling off.

Just tried your method, best recovery ever.

BrianD's picture

When you say 7 weeks out, do you mean 7 weeks from end of cycle or 7 weeks before pct?

my standpoint has always been simple in the fact that, how can injecting synthetic LH help in any way to restart your own? thats why id only recommend ity during cycle to wake up your boys before you hit them with serms. i dont see the point in using it during pct, which the whole point of pct is to recover your own htpa function. serms like clomid and toremifene (or nolva) and aromasin is all and only things that belong in a pct.

I used it during pct, it elevated my estrogen. It keeps you shut down via negative loop in the hpta. Once I discontinued use, I felt it pretty quick. Next time around I'm going to use it during cycle and discontinue before pct.
