Wouldn't it help your body, and mind, get used to lower test levels progressively rather than just going from say 800 Mgs a week to the natural level of around 70 Mgs a week? Seems like it would potentially help keep more gains and ward off depression that some get.

Thanks guys and gals!

I am not the experienced one here but common sense would tell me that tapering doen on the test would be a good idea. Perhaps this has nothing to do with common sense,lol, but that is what comes to min to me on this. Lets see what the experieced guys say

TweetTapering down shouldn't really matter too much. The average guy's body produces less than 1mg a day of test. So I would think you're either just on or off. But I could be wrong.

TweetThought I read it was 70 Mgs a week but no matter... My thought process being that if you go right from cycle dosages to normal dosages it seems you would be more likely to experience more loss of gains and perhaps depression and seven decreased sex drive whereas if you tapered down your body would would already be used to owed test levels when you stared PCT. Bad analogy but kind of like how heroin addicts and alcoholics are tapered off so they don't experience the nasty side side effects.

TweetSorry that's severely and lowered

TweetTapering down seems like a good idea but your still getting synthetic testosterone so your body isn't producing it naturally no matter the dose. So during your pct you will reach a point were there is no synthetic test and your body isn't producing testosterone. Your body will start again and you will be OK but that is going to happen even if you taper down. So you might as well just run your cycle as long as normal. I just stay on year round.

No I totally get that brother... My point is that it seems like there would be a difference in physical and psychological recovery between going from say 800 Mgs/ wk synthetic to pct versus 200/ wk synthetic to pct.

TweetIn my experience you kinda crash no matter what. You hit a spot that you don't even want to go to the gym just take a week or two off. I hated cycling off. It just depressing.

TweetWhat about front loading EQ? Anyone got any opinions or experiences?

TweetFist has a good post about what the body produces naturally. We are all healthy than average guys here, but the average 20 something man only produces enough test to be measured in nanograms. Using some hcg before pct is about the most that can be done to get back to normal before pct.

I've never front loaded eq so i dont know about that, but it makes sense since its such a long ester.

Tweet^^^ What everyone has been saying about not tapering the test is 100% accurate...any amount of test will shut you down, so whether you have 1000mg or 200mg in your body, if it's exogenous/synthetic, then you are not producing...but i totally understand your reasoning for wondering!!

Also, i like how you posed that EQ question, it makes sense the more I have been pondering it....load up a ton at first, then once week 4-5 rolls along you will get a nice jolt from it....and you still have all those other shots compounding boldenone on top of that!

TweetI wouldn't taper. If your coming off come off or get on trt dose.

Tweetdon't taper you are either on or off tapering would just be wasting time and gear.

front loading some like and some don't. I am not a fan as it can cause pronounced sides due to the large upfront doses. I an wait 2-3 weeks for something to kick in opposed to increasing the risk of sides and much larger shots.

TweetSweet thanks everyone.
