Anyone that doesn't follow a well thought out PCT plan is just ignorant. And I don't use that word to call someone a name but the act itself is ignorant. We know so much more about gear now than even say 5 years ago and tons more than 10 years ago. The reason people lost 70% of their gains after a cycle was they had that period of no muscle building gear and depressed natural test production. Basically we go through a time when we are almost hormonely like a woman (at least concerning test levels). During this phase your body cannot maintain the new muscle mass so it just loses it. It becomes a race to get your natural production up to salvage as much of the gains as possible. Now before, some people would recover quicker than others which is why some kept 70% and some kept 0%. Now we know that with clomid, HCG and other PCT substaces we can shorten the curve and get back to normal more quickly. Why would someone that is taking gear ie looking for a way to grow more lean mass more quickly be against gear that is designed to make the gains hold. It just blows my mind and is just a sign of stubborness. If this guy ever golfs he probably still uses a wooden driver even though a steel driver performs better in EVERY way.

I would have to say the same thing....he's ignorant. Is there any logic or reasoning behind not wanting to go through pct? What does he need to hear other than he won't keep much of his gains without a proper pct plan. If it's a financial issue, then it would be worse to spend all that money on gear to look and feel better and then loose most of it because he can't afford a couple more bucks to protect his "investment". Does he understand what PCT is and why we need to go through with it? It is very, very, very important.

In layman's terms, basically the reason why AAS allows use to build muscle rapidly is due to the ability to block cortisol (the hormone the body produces to regulate muscle tissue....cortisol is the opposite of testosterone) and increase protein absorption (positive nitrogen balance). The body is always fighting to maintain a balance so it naturally controls the amount of muscle tissue it desires to hold and grow at a given time. During a cycle, AAS blocks cortisol and places the body into a long Anabolic state (muscle building state), however during that time cortisol is still being produced, but AAS don't allow it to bind to receptors so it just circulates freely thoughout the cycle. Once your cycle ends, cortisol levels are really high and waits for it's turn to attack receptors. The hormone that competes against cortisol is testosterone, but at the end of the cycle your natural levels are so suppressed that it's not enough to fight against cortisol so once the synthetic levels drop, cortisol takes over thus your muscle gains will begin to diminish quickly over time. Now the purpose of PCT is to get your natural test levels up as quickly as possible so that it can fight against all that cortisol that's built up. The quicker you get your natural test levels up, the more muscle you stand to keep.... If you don't get your test levels up quickly, you will go through what we call the "post cycle crash" thus you can say bye bye to all the hard earned muscle you gained! This is the layman's version....I can be more scientific if you want, but if your friend don't get the layman's version, then what's the point!!!
