I like Nelsons PCT.
We are starting to beat a dead horse here guys.
Once and for all, there is no better PCT, there is no best PCT. It doesn't exist.
All that exists are options... And you have to find what works best for you.
When I started juicing no one was using nolva or clomid... At least I never heard of anyone talking about it at the time. This was not so long ago in the distant past... 10 years ago or so... I am sure there were people using nolva and clomid, but I had never known anyone until a few years later... Maybe around the early 2000's is when I first heard people talking about using Nolva and Clomid for PCT... But then again Elitefitness was in its beginning stages, online message boards were in their beginning stages. We didn't have people out there in cyberspace to help us figure things out. We didn't have good guys like Nelson.
There weren't a whole lot of ways to connect with fellow juicers, and no ways to learn fro mistakes... other than to just make them yourself... and learn...
That being said... My first couple cycles... PCT was this: eat more, train harder, add some creatine, tribulus, etc. I was young then... stupid? yes... But we didn't know any better. And had very little to guide us. Anyone I knew who was juicing has the same mentality as far as PCT goes... We didn't even think of it in those ways.
Long story short, we didn't shrivel up and die in between cycles... I don't remember any sexual side effects or long winded recovery. We took AAS gained, came off and life went on.. We didn't sweat it. We didn't lose ALL our gains...
Fast forward a little while... People started talking about Clomid and Nolva for PCT...So I tried it, and for me the only difference wasn't in recovery... I didn't like the side effects. I didn't like how I felt.. and the first time I had negatively impacted libido. That being said... I started to know people who did believe in the beginnings of PCT.
Fast forward a little further... I started to hear about people running HCG during the cycle, so as to not atrophy... This was the best thing I had ever heard of at the time..> Totally made sense to me... Totally worked.
So what's my point? There were days long before my first days that people didn't have great PCT's... There wasn't a problem... But that doesn't mean anything today... Because PCT IS IMPORTANT. We just didn't have many options then and we didn't know any better. Just because I could recover under those circumstances doesn't mean it's a good idea to try it like that... Like I said WE DIDN'T HAVE THE OPTIONS AND WE DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER.
Now we have options. I like certain AAS cycles... I don't like certain AAS compounds... I respond well to things that other people may not respond well to. Other people respond to things that maybe I don't..
Same goes for PCT. Nolvadex and Clomid work great for some people... That is Awesome! Unleashed/Sustain/Post Cycle worked great for some people, Great!
No one is going to be able to tell you what's best for you. You have to try it for yourself. If you do a moderate cycle, recovery is easy... even if you don't do a PCT. Now, I am not recommending not to do PCT...
All I am saying is that try different things out... Are some of you guys really that freaked out about trying something new or being wrong?
If "Nelson's PCT" doesn't work for you, then don't use it. But don't knock it until you try it. If "Nolva/Clomid" doesn't work for you, then don't use it again and try something else.
We're debating peanut issues here. Yes you worked hard for your gains... If you lose 2.3lbs post cycle, who cares? Bust your ass again and make up for it... Bust your ass in your PCT instead of worrying about what drugs are going to help you keep the gains...
It's not the end of the world we are talking about here. Be smart about your use. Use HCG during a cycle, this for sure will make things easier afterwards...
Put the PCT argument to rest. Find out what works for you and keep doing it. If something doesn't work, don't use the product again.
But don't worry, your body wants to recover. Your body wants to achieve its sense of normalcy. Use what you can to curb the side effects of this process and whatever you can to speed the process up... That's it... If you lose a few LBS, so what, you'll gain it back, don't let your ego get in the way of finding the proper recovery. If your libido is jacked for a few weeks, that sucks... But unless you were irresponsible on cycle, you'll get your libido back. You will get your levels back in range eventually. Just please figure out what works for you instead of wondering and debating. There is no better way to find the right PCT than to just try it for yourself.
Sorry for the ranting post, but there's so many posts on the same thing. And it leads to arguing... Just learn what works for you and roll with it.
From everything I've read on here and just on the internet in general Nelson's PCT covers all areas that need to be covered. Nolva/Clomid does not. Just my opinion tho.
