Does HCG during cycle affect gains?

[inky-e]

In the past i've used HCG during a cycle ,for shrinkage of the nuts,but this time around i don't want to do anything that would affect my gains,i've gained 10lbs of muscle and its early in the cycle so at this rate my gains will be better than ever before,and i don't want to screw it up.My question is will it affect my progress?

using HCG during your cycle should not hurt your gains at all, as long as you use it in a reasonable doasge.......I like to run 250iu 2x wk.........this is enough to keep my nuts huge, but is not enough to hinder gains......

ok thanks for your input,thats pretty much what i would use.

is it true that running it long term can desensitise the boys from LH so when your pituitary pumps out its own LH after PCT it doesnt utilize it as efficiently? Or is that only in larger more consistent doses?

I don't think even if you used it in large doses it would hinder your gains. Supposedly you can damage your balls with it if you use too much.. but i suspect you would really have to use ridiculous doses.

To take the above question a little bit farther.... if you shoot HCG every week (2x @ 250IU), will your body not react to it by the end of the cycle, rendering the shots useless?

That dosage is less than the equivalent of the body's natrual LH, so I would assume no, that amount for any length of time (while your natural LH is suppressed) wouldn't desensitize you.

FYI, according to the study below, the equivalent of your body's natural LH is a little more than 250iu every other day.
