    I'm also a fan of tapering Nolvadex down from 100mg in this type of a scheme and keeping the clomid dosages constant.

    Days 1-7 - 100mg
    Days 8-14 - 50mg
    Days 15-21 - 20mg

    If you do this, you could eliminate the need for an AI in PCT like DS21 suggested...I agree with him that keeping one on hand DURING cycle is important as well.

    Good luck!
    Ok cool so only frontload for a week then straight into 500mg. So i should run the clomid at 50 mg for 4 weeks and run the nolva as above for three? or countine the four?

    Cheers

    I would just front load for the first week, but I would add an ai during or at least have on on hand but definetly add one for pct. I don't know how daem usually dose his pct, but I believe in an ai and a serm for pct, aromasin and nolva would work great.

    IMO, front load the 1st wk too.
    I'm not convinced about running nolva at such a high dose for a week, it's a moderate dose medium length cycle.
    My choice for an adequate PCT for this cycle would be
    Clomid 100/50/50/50.
    Nolva 40/20/20/20
    Hcg if your nuts shrivel up too much could be used for the last 2wks @ 500iu twice wk.

    That seems to be the standard pct that most offer here, why is that?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but serms like nolva and clomid stop estrogen from binding to various receptors in the body, prevent gyno, but ai's lower the estrogen that is being produced in the body. The way I look at it is if there isn't a large amount of estrogen aromatizing in the body (due to an ai) there is already less of a change of getting gyno, so adding a serm would just help ensure you don't get gyno. I've always thought an ai is more important then a serm in pct, at least that is my opinion, but please help me see it a different way if you feel I am wrong.

    AI's stop aromatisation of test to estrogen, why use an AI in PCT as well as a SERM? You arent going to start your PCT till two wks after your last shot and you mention above that there will be little aromatisation on cycle (due to an ai) so what is the point of using an aromatase inhibitor when there will be hardly any test to aromatise?
    This PCT is bog standard for a medium dose medium length cycle and it works.
    It's been used effectively thousands of times, using 100mg of nolva for instance will do no more than 60mg will, honestly, so i'm a firm believer in using the same philosophy i use with steroids and that is; use the least amount you need to get the job done, with PCT it really is the same principal, more is not always better. JMO.

    I'm not the one that recommended 100mg of nolva, I believe 20mg is all you need to use of nolva per day, at least that is what I've read.

    The reason I believe in an ai during pct is your body produces larger amount of estrogen during this time and I believe an ai like aromasin stop 80-90% of estrogen from aromatizing in your body, so I guess my question is why wouldn't you want to use an ai during pct?

    OK, the estrogen that your body is producing at this time is not from the aromatisation of test, so an AI is pretty pointless. The estrogen that is still in your body however can and is reduced using a serm.


    PS, i know it wasn't you who mentioned that 100mg nolva, i thought i'd just point out that it will have no more benefit than 60mg.
