Cortisol Blocker as part of PCT??

[hammertime30]

Just thinking of all different ways to maintain gains...We all know about cortisol build up during a cycle and how it takes away our hard earned gains....just curious if anyone have tried adding a cortisol blocker in addition as part of your PCT or even throughout the cycle to lessen the build up??

The damage from cortisol is highly overrated. First off, cortisol is not constantly secreted throughout the day. Second, your levels would have to be constantly elevated similar to the way it's seen in people with AIDS in order for muscle wasting to occur. All you need to know about cortisol in regards to training is the specific times during the day such as in the morning or post workout when those levels are elevated above normal. This can easily be managed with 1000 mgs Vitamin C upon waking up and post workout.

Extreme muscle loss post cycle is misinterperted by many people. Most of the time, it's related to water loss and the user then reports that he lost muscle in an exaggerated manner.

Proper PCT, an adjustment to your nutrition and consistent training are the factors invloved in long term progress.

i know this might be sort of off topic, but while i'm listening to talk radio, I hear ads about a product called, "Cortislim." Is there any truth to the fact of this product?

It's cheaper to go with Phosphatidyl Serine which is the active ingredient in a lot of these cortisol blocker products and is also good Brain food....But after reading what Jenetic said, I did a little reseach on Vit C and found that it's effective at reducing cortisol as well at 1000mg, so it may not be a bad idea to mix the two together....

And I thought I was smart. This guy is genius level, and probably has an inflated ego by now with all the compliments he gets.

Some people use Remeron for this very reason and report good things about it. Remeron is a very powerful antidepressant however with side effects. 7-keto dhea, PS, and vit. c are all good anti-glucocorticoids. However IMHO cortisol is not your nemisis post cycle.
