Does anyone ever "ramp up"

**ericzacha** · 08-29-2010, 01:58 AM

I see a lot of discussion about post cycle therapy . Many different regimens all with essentially the same goal, maintenance and side effect avoidance/reversal. Does anyone ever "ramp up" prior to a cycle with something that raises T levels slightly, so it's not such a shock to the system when you start. I was wondering if this sort of approach would lessen side effects. Maybe a week or two of PCT before a cycle. This is just theory on my part as I've never done a cycle and my knowledge base is limited. It just seemed to make sense to me and I wondered if anyone else had thought of it or tried it. If you know a good reason why this is a bad idea, please let me know. Perhaps this is covered elsewhere, and I don't know the right words to search for it. If so, I apologize.

It is a complete waste of time IMO

If you are going to be shutting your seft down 100% whas the point of trying to raise your test levels before a cycle.

Just run a basic cycle with a good PCT and HCG during cycle if you wish

Wouldn't that just increase the length of time your HPTA is supressed? Is a Test 'shock' as you say, a real phenomenon? Is it unpleasant? I don't understand the purpose, but interesting nonetheless.

I dont think that would really do anything the way you want to do it . I will say this I have been ramping up my doses on orals. This how we used to do it back when and now people on the boards shun it because you blood levels etc. BUT I get far less sides from orals by ramping the dose giving my body a chance to get used to the compounds and then ramping down ex. anadrol 50,100,150,50 its not what people will recomend but if I tried to run a str8 dose of drol all the way sides would force me to stop early.

Its really just about any oral with me. The sides get me every time. I can run tren and be a happy camper but orals get me. So I started going back to this and it definatly helps me.
