This makes for a much better pct because you don't have to wait for your natural test to start going again because it never stopped. A lot of people use hcg for pct only, but from what I have heard from the knowledgeable members on here it makes more sense to run a low dose while on cycle and slightly up the dose during pct.

Btw Blaz your cycle looks great. I can tell you did your research before taking this step. I wish I would have put this much thought and research into my first cycle. I agree that 400mg of test is kinda low. I would bump it to 500 mg if you have enough...
But aren't you pretty much shut down from the first shot with all that extra test in your system? I've read that its best to start the HCG from day 1 because of this...I don't see why you would wait?

Regardless, great plan OP...pretty much exactly the same cycle I'm going to do in a few months (also my first cycle). Good luck!
