[devildawg]

Just finished test/eq cycle & pct about 7 weeks ago. I have been doing a maintenance shot of 1cc test/1cc eq once a week since I finished. ? is, am I wasting time and money by doing this or is there any benefit to it? Just looking for opinions thnx

Good question...

There is no benifit, and you are keeping your natural test levels shut-down. I'd stop the injects, and you may need to do PCT again to get your natural test levels back up.

I agree with cfiler ,,,,,,,you have totally went against he whole purpose of PCT my friend... and you might want to do PCT again... the 1st shot of 1cc of test shut down ur natural test production already... so PCT again is my advice and STOP the injections my friend ( no benifit)

[cantspeak]

well maybe he plans on staying on allyear. But then why the PCT? anyway if you wanna stay on all year i guess you just went on a cruise.

[STEROIDZZ]

I would hope not going on a all year lol.... and yeah cruise control is what it sounds like.. but at that dose i dont think so..... and he asked for a benifit?? and at 1cc i highly doubt any benifts at all... the choice is your's big fella just be careful.. but i would def hault the shots bro.. save it for a later cycle

[cfiler]

The whole point of PCT is to restore HPTA and HTTA levels back to normal. By supplimenting aas, you keep your levels from going back to normal.

Unless this is a brige to a different cycle (which why you did PCT is beyond me) I'd stop the aas, and follow up with PCT again.

Im glad we see this the same way... as the same question arose if he was bridging why do pct as he did ?? but oh well... good points Cfliler

as a cruise thats sounds right . i dont know why your asking us though -if youve been cruising for 7 weeks youd know how 1 cc would be working for ya .

Your only makng a seamless recovery of your HPTA more difficult... unless you are training for a professional event and hold an abnormal amount of LBM as it is - I wouldn't suggest this.

[devildawg]

thnx for the advice bros. My original intent was to bridge to the next cycle but my current work schedule will push this back a while. I thought the best thing to do would be to stop, but I wanted some more experienced opinions. What pct do you recommend since the dosages have been so low? full pct or simple arimadex.

[skipp]

Full pct, low or not your HPTA is shut down the same if not more, than after your cycle.

[Warrior]

Yeah - you have been on for awhile... period. And on - no matter what you are taking - means a stop in endogenous production. A completely supressed HPTA.. especially "low" doses over a long period of time.

I would begin some HCG to get your testes sensitized to the gonadtropins... run some Provrion through-out to treat the hypogonadal issue and help restore sex drive faster... and do some short loading bursts of Clomid after the final shot has filtered through your blood.

Metformin has been found to make Clomid more successful in making women ovulate, so if you have any of that (or Avandia) - consider it as well. I know you don't care to ovulate but the same process helps a man recover the HPTA...

Get a killer training and diet set up - get your mind off the desire to be "on" all the time. Sounds like you don't want to be at this point...

i just dont see how people would bridge if there career isnt body building.. just sounds like the body would take a beating.. but oh well.... Good points warrior

[stupidhippo]

its not as simple as it may seem.. personally I think HRT dose is healthier than being hypogonadic for some time after cycle. Ocourse Im not saying u should bridge, cause the whole idea of PCT is to normalize HPTA.. but personally I think its the state when u are recovered when the body aint taking a beating anymore.. so IMO ppl should take some time off gear when recovered to take the safest route.. not to jump on immediately when recovered.. this would push the cycles even further apart so in most cases compromises have to be done... I would like to see some BW from ppl who are either on or HRT dose compared to traditional way.. it would be interesting cause I suspect that the outcome could be different what ppl think..

I really appreciate the input bros. This is exactly why I come to this site( to right my wrongs) I have been getting pretty bad chest and back acne. Is this because my HPTA levels are off? Will the clomid and hcg help fix this? I have nolva on hand. I can use this instead of clomid right?
