I'm coming off a Test En & tren Cycle. Took my last injection 6 days ago. My plan was to take 1000iu of HCG EOD starting tomorrow which would Lead up to when I planned to start Nolva/Clomid. After reading a bunch of threads I'm wondering if I timed the HCG wrong. I'm a little confused, advice please!
for starters, do you have testicular atrophy?
I don't think so. I was running 500mg of Test for 10 weeks. As for size how much do your testicles actually shrink? My woman hasn't commented so I'm guessing they're size is still adequate.Quote:

So why not run it all the time? Not just when one loses testicular mass?
I guess I should have clarified my statement, I'm on year-round so shut down is not a concern. I cruise and blast, often when I blast my nads shrink and get sore if I don't use the HCG, but at the cruise dosage they are fine.
Actually even when I did cycle, I only had atrophy when I used generous doses of a 19nor, otherwise I seemed to bounce back fine with nolva/clomid/aromasin pct. My rationale was simply to use the fewest compounds necessary to get the job done, but in retrospect you're probably right.
Ah ha. Got ya. :wg:Quote:

Whats your HRT dose Big?
I already assumed it, but its shows that losing testicular mass isnt a good indication of whether the HPTA is shudown or not.
I suspect its the elevated estrogen that causes the atrophy...
Do you use an AI? Do you still atrophy when using an AI?
You got me thinking...
I cruise at 200mg/cyp year round, and my boys are full and plump, yet when I blast I bump the test up and throw in tren and sometimes mast, and my nads shrink. I found it quite interesting the first time it happened, because I figured I would be completely shut down just off the cyp, so I'm not sure why the atrophy occurs when it does. When I blast I use arimidex at .25eod, no ai on cruise. I finished the last blast cycle about 6 weeks ago, still on the cyp now, and my boys are back to their typical size now. I wish I had the education to fully understand why this happens the way it does.
OFF TOPIC but wanna hook us up with some pics now that you've completed your cycle.
I posted a recent bicep shot in the bicep thread a few days ago, I really don't look any different than the last pic in my profile. I plan to bulk in spring and I'll throw some pics up then to revel in my bloat lol.
I'm going to try and find out.Quote:
