How do I avoid this mistake again?

[Pleumbluebean]

One year ago I have run a testosterone solo cyclethat lasted 14 months. The gains and everything was nice. Now afterthis cycle I have some problems, and I think it was because of weakpct. I only had on hand nolvadex and HCG, so I used them as my pct.Now the gains are gone, and I don't feel all that great. Planning todo a second cycle but without repeating the mistakes – how can I dothis?

Run the perfect PCT. It's in almost every thread.
You pretty much answered your own question.

Try not running a 'cycle' that ends up lasting 14 months.

First of all - that is way too long of a cycle - you should never run such long cycles! Secondly, you should never underestimate the importance of a proper PCT, because without it you will not get to keep the gains and have a proper recovery. Therefore, never run cheap on a PCT. After such a serious cycle you need to run a very comprehensive PCT protocol, and I can only recommend you to run the following one - https://www.evolutionary.org/the-perfect-post-cycle-therapy-pct/

Never use HCG, neither on cycle, nor during PCT.

using hcg in pct is suppressive. that wasn't a pct you ran at all

you need to run a correct pct. read the perfect pct and for gods sake do not touch that poison hcg.

Not keeping the majority of the gains you made on your steroid cycle is usually the result of:
1. Not running a proper PCT after your steroid cycle.
2. Not training and eating with the same intensity after the cycle as you did on cycle.


What put the muscle on the first place is what will keep it there after your PCT - HARD training and a high protein diet.


A proper PCT ensures your natural testosterone production fully recovers and that you keep the majority of the gains you made on your steroid cycle. I recommend everyone follow the perfect PCT after each steroid cycle -> https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/anabolic-steroids-peds/perfect-pct-simplified!-49252.html


The perfect PCT is arguably the best PCT protocol you can run. It is comprised of the SERMS clomid and nolvadex, the AI aromasin, HCGenerate ES (a good natural testosterone booster), N2guard (a liver/organ detox supplement) and the SARMS ostarine and cardarine.


• Clomid and Nolvadex increase levels of LH and FSH in the body, which increase free testosterone levels.
• An aromatize inhibitor will prevent testosterone from aromatizing into estrogen and prevent side effects like gynocemastia and water retention.
• A natural testosterone booster (like HCGenerate ES) will signal the leydig cells in the testicles to restart testosterone production.
• A liver/organ detox supplement (like N2guard) will help cleanse the liver and kidney, regulate blood pressure and balance cholesterol levels.
• Ostarine will prevent muscle loss during a PCT when the body is catabolic from the increased cortisol levels and low anabolic hormones.
• Cardarine will prevent fat gain during a PCT protocol when hormones are low and cortisol levels are high.

I am hoping you actually meant 14 weeks and not 14 months. That is ridiculous if you were on for that long.

Always run this as a PCT: https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/anabolic-steroids-peds/perfect-pct-simplified!-49252.html

Using HCG in your PCT was also a terrible idea because it actually prevents you from recovering.
