proviron doesn't work for active recovery. dbol DEFINATELY doesn't work for active recovery.
seriously you gotta put the throttle wide open during pct... there really is no good way to ease into it... in the end you just cost yourself more gains...
honestly i think the only way to do an active PCT is with IGF-1 or HGH or insulin....
although i think there is something to this... by lowering dosages/potency of compounds you allow the body to begin to normalize cortisol levels before pct begins which could be greatly beneficial and is probably why Ross may have had good experience with this protocol. (aas raises cortisol levels on cycle)
the only real active recovery that i consider valid is running HCG throughout the cycle as this maintains the receptivity of the testes to LH/FSH by not allowing them to go dormant... maintaing the T of the HPTA
the pituitary is another animal altogether, it needs to recover completely and the only way to do that is minimize input to the hypothalamus by blocking androgens and estrogens, even a small amount of external androgen or estrogen will greatly hinder this recovery (yes even 20mg var, in fact even 5mg var will keep your pituitary shut down)
but i think there's a lot too this and it's worth exploring.
Ross, have you ever heard of Naltrexone? it's a mu-opioid antagonist (it blocks opiate receptors everywhere in the body, including the hypothalamus) naltrexone is intriguing because it can help restore pituitary function (releasing LH and FSH) by blocking the opiate receptors in the hypothalamus....
this way you could theoretically start to warm up the pituitary during pre-pct while androgens are still floating around. then when you drop the androgens the pituitary is partially primed to start releasing lh and fsh, maybe saving you a week or so of catastrophic losses (most losses occur during first two weeks of pct in my experience)
just for reference opiates (heroin, morphine, percocet, vicodin) reduce output of lh and fsh by pituitary and naltrexone (opiate blocker) increases output.
