NOLVA ONLY FOR PCT?
ad
Im sure this has been beaten to death....but so many conflicting messages on here.
My husband did a Test /EQ/Anadrol cycle....
Test 750mg week 16 weeks
EQ 500mg week 16 weeks
Anadrol 50mg day 6 weeks
He has done many cycles over last 30 years but never did a PCT protocol. He bought Nolvadex due to gym buddies back in the day saying that's all you need. Can he just do the 40/40/20/20 for weeks and be fine? He's 48 yrs old, harder for him to keep gains with the age...any info would be great. TIA

PCT? At 48?
Nah… it’s TRT for life time, my friend.
If he’s still blasting like that, clearly not ready to hang it up … and if he’s serious about keeping gains, recovery, and quality of life, staying on is the move, but NOT with this kind of cycle design. PCT at that age is basically pressing the self-destruct button on hard-earned progress.
But hey … if it’s a personal, religious or medical reason and he really must come off, then yeah… 40/40/20/20 Nolva is a classic protocol. @cruznet just posted it above… Nothing fancy, but it’ll get the job done enough.
Just be real with the goal.
If you’re gonna play this game, don’t play to lose, IMHO !!!
Trt is best
But to answer your pct question
PCT with no hcg
Wait after last injection
2 weeks if test
3 weeks if deca/tren
Week 1 nolva 40mg clomid 100mg
Week 2 nolva 40mg clomid 100mg
Week 3 nolva 20mg clomid 50mg
Week 4 nolva 20mg clomid 50mg
He may struggle if he's got a shorter ester of test than what EQ is?
As others have said, the safer and better option would be trt
Old post of op says 3 months ago they were on trt. so not sure what their goal is if they have a trt dr
anvilNo, he won't keep anything. Tell him to do research. Why at 48 would he do 6 weeks of anadrol? Does he hate his liver. He should love it, it is a vital organ.

We agree, this was the last for Anadrol...NO MORE...too old for the stuff.
But we would love some advice.
Everything is conflicting...2 weeks HCG, 4 weeks Clomid/Nolvadex. Or No HCG just Nolvadex. Or Nolva/Clomid together. Just don't know
48 years old worrying about HCG? Kind of old to be worrying about ball size or having more kids. If i was him id stick to yo just nolva/clomid combo
anvil@cruznet just sent you the protocol above he should use. I would not PCT unless trying to conceive.
Alot of guys run hcg 2-3 weeks before starting clomid/nolva. Why after 30 years of going on/off test does he want to pct? What did he do before?
MamaBiggzHe just went off cold turkey...gained some weight...felt like poop..a bit depressed...but knows it's better to do it now ....especially NOW...Dumb guy mentality of the 90s...
Like what namiks said, if your husband is 48 then he is at pretty typical age to be considering trt, he should just drop to a cruise dose at about 140-180mg per week as his natural testosterone production is likely shot
Why doesn’t he just go down to cruising levels of test and stay on? Why cycle off completely?
MamaBiggzHe just wants to come off...then get bloodwork to get correct hormone imbalance.
I’m thinking he’s too old for that, just have him drop to 150-200mg test a week, then after a little while on that go get a blood test.
