Agreed. I have modified this HCG/Clomid/Nolvadex cycle slightly for my clients. Instead of 2500U EOD, I recommend 1000U EOD. I agree with the 20mg Nolvadex daily. I only add in 50mg Clomid (not the 100mg daily) daily if the subject is coming off a prolonged, heavy AAS cycles. My results are similiar to those in the article demostrating recovery. I have to go with what works, and HCG/Nolvadex/Clomid is pretty standard fare for recovery.

I know that Swale reccomends the use of HCG throughout a cycle. How do you feel on this strategy?

His theory of avoiding high dosages of HCG to avoid desensitization of the leydig cells seems like a good idea, specially for someone like myself with baseline test levels in the 200's (at 22).

I am actually using his strategy on my currrent cycle and running HCG at 500IU E3d throughout my cycle. The only question that this brings up to me is whether the toxic effects of HCG can be dependant on the length of time used apart from being dose dependant. I guess if this were the case, it probably wouldnt be a good idea to run it throughout a cycle...

Whats HCG?

Whats HCG?

I can't believe I'm going to write this...

Human chorionic gonadotropin

HCG is not a steroid but it is widely used in athletics today. HCG is a natural protein hormone secreted by the human placenta and purified from the urine of pregnant women. This hormone is not a natural male hormone but mimics the natural hormone LH (Luetinising Hormone) almost identically. LH stimulates the production of testosterone by the testis in men. Thus, HCG sends the same message and results in increased testosterone production by the testis due to HCG’s effect on the leydig cells of the testis.

Hope this gets you started.

With that small of a cycle why do you feel you need to run it during the whole cycle and not just towards the end and begining of post cycle?
