time for PCT. a few questions though

[AlphaMaleDawg]

just finished my first cycle of test-e at 500mg for 12 weeks. In a few days, I will start my pct (14 days after last injection) of nolva 40/40/20/20 and clomid 100/100/50/50. I will be following advice from Marcus' sticky on keeping gains.

1. when is the best time to take pct? morning? night? w/ food? pre workout? does it even matter?

2. Will I still be able to get boners and perform when I need to? Is there any way to counteract this if its a problem?

3. should I keep my diet exactly the same as on cycle?

4. Should I decrease my training frequency right when pct starts or should I wait a week or two into it?

thanks

throw an AI into that PCT and you will be straight, unless u ran one on your cycle. u def dont want any rebound effect and you need to bring those heightened estrogen levels back down. like i said, ONLY if you didnt run an AI on cycle

take PCT at night to avoid blurred vision/headaches from clomid

as for libido and erections go everyone is diff there

workouts and diet, gota say the same, u know your body best so there is no definite answer there

hard to tell on libido, im a big sust fan and neva had probs coming off it, tried test e once and took 3 months to feel normal again, all with correct pct's. i will say tht the test e cycle was the only i havent used hcg on, so tht cud be a factor

Doesnt really matter. I take them 2-3 hours proir to going to bed.

2. Will I still be able to get boners and perform when I need to? Is there any way to counteract this if its a problem?

This is individual. Some can, others cant. I have never had a problem with getting an erection, but it has been more difficult to sustain it for longer peroids. Viagra and Cialis will help with ED.

Be sure to use HCG during your cycle at 250ius 2x week.

Recovering from 19-Nor's may also prove more problematic.

3. should I keep my diet exactly the same as on cycle?

Increase calories IMHO. Do not train beyond failure. VitC 1-3g PWO.

4. Should I decrease my training frequency right when pct starts or should I wait a week or two into it?

I lower the volume slightly, but keep intensity up. Not training beyond failure, but to failure.

thanks

I didnt use HCG or any AI's during the cycle

so I should actually increase calories? Wouldnt that promote fat gain? and how much should i increase by if i was following a 3500 calorie diet?

Keep the same diet and add in more healthy fats. If you get to fat do more kardio. Its important to eat well in pct.
