HCG Post Cycle- Who Uses It???

[THE PROTOTYPE2000]

Who uses HCG post cycle to keep their gains? I know the majority of the fellas uses on board use Clomid only post cycle with good success. I also noticed alot of the older bodybuilders still use HCG with Nolvadex/Clomid. I'm trying to find out which method is better. So, what do you think? Clomid only?? Or HCG and Clomid/Nolvadex??

You kinda have to figure out what works for you. You can keep your bases covered by using HCG and clomid (not at the same time). It's cheap so why not.

With that being said HCG works for me and clomid doesn't do one damn thing. I am sure it's different for others.

HCG is intended to help reverse the testicular atrophy which comes about from long or overly frequent cycles.

If your cycle is sufficiently short your testicles will not appreciably atrophy and HCG will do you no good. What's more, HCG use carries some risk, so you shouldn't take it unless you need to.

Clomid/Nolvadex operate totally differently and act to get your test production back quicker than otherwise by masking some of the inhibitory effects of testosterone.

If you're on a cycle of any strength and length, you probably would be well served by clomid or nolvadex (I prefer nolva post cycle).

If you on much stronger/longer, and suspect atrophy, then consider HCG. clomid/nolva must always we taken alongside HCG.

I'm on it now for the first time, just went through 5,000 spread over the past week onto week #2.

i agree that HCG should be used but not with clomid.. the way I woudl do it is take the HCG at 500IU ED for 10 days then wait 4 days and start clomid therapy...Also take nolvs/liquidex and bromo. thats what i woudl do

i tried for the fist time on my last cycle, did 500iu ED for 10 days with liquidex, then started clomid, clen and anavar. i cant afford to lost ANY gains i got from my last cycle.

I have changed my view on HCG. I dont wait for the atrophy to set in anymore. I take 500ius 2 times a week throughout my cycle. This low dose wont desensitize you from lh, but will produce enough to prevent atrophy from setting in. I learned the hard way that some atrophy will not revert! If I had been using hcg this way in that particular cycle, I would have 2 fully functional testicles.

So in short...dont wait for the atrophy to set in. Take strategic small doses throughout yopur cycle to keep a small LH signal flowing. This small signal will keep the testicles producing small amounts of test, which in turn will prevent any atrophy from setting in.

I look at it this way...you give your car an oil change so the engine doesnt break down, which is preventitive maintenance. Use the HCG in the same mannor.

If mine ever come back from my my cycle. When I finally get around to cycling again I'm doing this as well. It sounds a much smarter method. Why try and kick start it near the end of the cycle after atrophy. Seems less damaging to just never let it occur.

If you're on a cycle of any strength and length, you probably would be well served by clomid or nolvadex (I prefer nolva post cycle).

Question???

would taking Nolvadex (for gyno protection) through the entire cycle or part of it, affect recovery or shutdown, any benefit? or do the suppressors have to be out of the body completely to have this effect?

The reason I ask is, this cycle, which is heavy test/eq/DBol, I have been using nolva off and on and testicles have not shrunk or gotten pulled up, still seem normal.
