Starting hCG late in the cycle

[hardgainrock]

Hi guys,

I’m at the end of week 8 of a 400mg Deca 500mg Sustanon cycle split by two injections a week. Plan is to go with both until week 13 (or maybe stop Deca 2 weeks before, not sure yet).

I got the gear from an old friend of mine I didn’t see for years. Gear (SP Labs) seems to be legit because it’s working.
This is my first ever cycle and I’m trusting him for everything, however the hCG protocol he handed me seems to be far off from what I can see here in the forum. He’s telling me to inject 500IU once per week from week 10 to 13. And then to inject 500IU everyday for PCT. This will be together with clomid and nolva. BTW, I’m currently on 10mg nolva a day due to sides, I was getting nipple sensivity which went away a few days after a kick start dose of 20mg, then I reduced it to 10mg just for prevention.

I have on my hands 3ampsx5000IU of hCG but from what I can see here I could be fine starting it right away, maybe 500IU twice a week and stopping it just when I begin PCT. Please let me know your thoughts. I want the best recovery possible.

Thanks for helping a noob guys.

Start it straight away 250ius x 2 per week and stop 3 days before PCT.

No AI? No DA

Normally test only is the recommendation for a first cycle so you can learn how to control that compound before adding others.

Definitely stop your deca 2 weeks before you stop your test.

21 days after your last test pin run your PCT

Clomid 75/50/50/50
Nolva 40/20/20/20/20/20

Thanks for your help. I actually started this cycle with Deca as a base to help me with my joints/elbow tendinitis. Seems to be helping but it’s far from being a miracle drug. Anyway, I seem to be reacting fine with both components. No major sides apart from some acne and nipple itchiness. Weeks 7/8 were actually the weeks I started noticing both these sides and noticeable gains in strength.

So, you don’t see any benefit on a kickstarting dose of hCG or even in running 500IUs instead (remember I got 15000IUs in my hand, the remainder can always be of use for next cycle)? My testicles seem not to have shrunken too much. Maybe just a little bit I think but I know that doesn’t mean anything. For some reason seems their size varies along the day, not sure if it’s just in my head.

Thanks.

No need to kickstart hcg . You've got enough time. Go with 250 iu's x 3 per week if you feel the need to up it a bit. You'll be just fine.

Just started hCG . Painless injection with slin pin. I’ll let you know how the recovery goes.
Thanks.

Quick update:
2 days into PCT and feeling great, I’m following a 45/50min workout schedule, 5x a week relying on heavy sets, mainly focusing on compound lifts, trying not to exceed the 6 rep range.
Following the PCT plan suggested above by Back In Black.
I’m still getting strong morning woods and although I don’t quite feel horny I get an erection easily. Is this a good sign that I’m going to recover easily?

Acne is a bit crazy though.
