A good pct helps.

I am a newbie, what is pct?

[Morskaya_Pekhota]

It stands for Post Cycle Therapy. It is a course of oral drugs taken at the conclusion of a cycle. Steroids shut down the body's natural ability to produce testosterone on its own {this is why you hear about testicular atrophy}. At the conclusion of a cycle you take a pct after the esters have cleared out of your body to keep your estrogen in check and help jump start the body's natural testosterone production, other wise you will lose all gains and possibly suffer some other sides such as gynecomastia {a.k.a. gyno, b*tch tits}.

OIC, does this occur if you take Winstrol or Clen? What are some PCT that one would take? Does it depend upon what you take in your cycle?

For a simple cycle, Nolvadex {a.k.a. tamoxifen} will do. If you're doing a heavy cycle with a lot of steroids, you may need to add in other compounds.

As for your other questions, GL, start a thread of your own and let us know your stats, height, weight, age, body fat, how long you've been training, what your average daily diet looks like and tell us what your goals are. We'll get you sorted.

lol just do ecstasy for the whole off time and life is so good! just kidding! haha

Well I have never experienced hard time while off.. what helps is your goal, iPod in the gym, glutamine, amino acids, protein, vitamins, girls and diet (YOU HAVE TO LOVE DIETING! personally I do love it). Focus on it and do what ever you have to do. Think positive, like being off the cycle is good to your body.. feel like everything is restoring/healing at that moment that your natural productions are functioning again and that you'r going to start a NEW ONE SOON! haha yes we all are drug addicts here lol

PCT - must have.

Be strong.

Buddy, Time on plus your pct should = time off.

Take some time off to get used to the new found strength to protect your joints/tendons/ligaments. Keep on focusing on your diet and training for right now. Then maybe summertime plan another cycle.
