    Re: Is HCG necessary with Deca?

    I really like armoisin over adex. 12.5 mg on cycle if needed and 25mg on pct. I use it in heavy and long cycles. It has a steriod like property of its own thats helps keep gains.

    As for hair loss I wish my hair would fall out lol.

        the best i have come up with is daily use of minoxidil and once a week of nizoral shampoo (prescription). i just went to my doc and said i needed something to better combat dandruff can you hook it up with the nizoral, and that was it. this will assist if your dht levels are high. make sure you know which compounds to stay away from if your worried about mpb. all in all if you truly care about your hair then steroids will cause you despair.

          From what i understand Deca is fairly mild on your hairline and Deca doesn't even Stimulate DHT so really my main concern was with the test.

            You're definitely right about clomid/torem. From my understanding, nolva has shown to increase expression of the PR. Since deca is a progesterone, this could potentially lead to more problems during pct such as prolactin related gyno, especially since deca stays in your system for so long. I always recommend clomid or perhaps torem after a cycle with the inclusion of 19nor's.

              Re: Is HCG necessary with Deca?

              Okay, im changing the subject here, But im flirting with the idea of running a Tren cycle instead since i cant stop the hair loss anyways...But this is what i was thinking, whats your opinions? Thanks i appreciate the opinions. and im going for a lean a bulk here that will allow me to keep most of my gains.

              Sust 250: 187.5mg EOD: Week 1-12---656.25mg a week
              Tren A 100: 100mg EOD: Week 1-12---350mg a week (Im also probably gonna have some NPP on hand in case the Tren gets too rough i can switch in NPP instead)
              T-Bol: 40mg ED: Week 1-6

              Aromasin on hand
              Caber on hand

              For HCG I would start it 2 weeks before my PCT. 1500IU`s 3x a week, Then First week of PCT 1500IU`s 2x a week

              PCT will have
              Clomid 100mg ED week1-2, then 50mg ED week3-5
              Aromasin 25mg ED week 1-5

                Have you ever considered running test lower than your tren? It's a sure way to keep the tren sides at bay which is great for assessing your tolerance to tren. The more you increase test, the more sides will start surfacing. I found that it wasn't necessary to run test very high with tren anyway since tren is 5x more anabolic. Just some food for thought. I also found that Tbol at 60mg was the sweet spot. Good luck

                  Clomid 100mg ED week1-2, then 50mg ED week3-5
                  Aromasin 25mg ED week 1-5
                  Are you planning on using the caber and aromasin proactively against your E2 and prolactin/progesterone levels? Or waiting until side affects become too much? If not Id start that caber at .5mg 2x a week. The aromasin looks to be a usual starting point of 20-25mg ED. Of course bloods are only way to confirm both protocols are effective.

                  Never been a fan of using HCG at the end of the cycle only. Its another proactive choice but it prevents and/or slows the rate of atrophy significantly. So then when you are ready for PCT, there isn't a retroactive start at full atrophy, which WILL take longer to recover. I follow a 250 IU twice a week protocol (even can be mixed in the same syringe as your gear) through out the entire cycle, 4 days out from PCT. Not much more is needed Imo. You do want to be careful of higher doses of HCG for prolonged periods as it will cause intratesticular E2 problems that an AI WILL NOT solve. You will have your work cut out for you from there.

                  Again I'm not a fan of any AI in a PCT protocol. If we've done our job on cycle and had bloods to confirm the AI dosage is correct, then you should be ok. Id add nolva in conjunction to the clomid for PCT for better chances of full recovery. If using 5 weeks a 40/20/20/20/20 protocol would suffice.

                    ^^^ I'm right on board with everything you said! I have been told though that nolva doesn't go well with tren and deca....have you ever had any problems with that?? I snatched up plenty of Clomid, the obvious staple, and then some Torem because of what I read about nolva with deca/tren....

                      I've never encountered problems with it myself. As well as my research in the matter highly regards nolva as a staple in PCT protocols.


                      Nolva boosts the effects of clomid because it put clomid into "competition" mode where they both fight for a receptors to bind to. This competitiveness will only occur with the presence of BOTH nolva/clomid, and will inevitably resolve the issue of excess estrogen in the Hypothalamus. This will trigger both LH and FSH to crank UP, as the high estrogen in this cluster is suppressive. This entire scenario is not as effective with only one drug.

                      Furthermore varying the compounds; Since we know both stimulate LH, what most don't know is that the act is different. clomid boosts the amplitude of LH serum, but has no effect on the frequency. Nolvadex is the complete opposite in that area, where it boosts the actual frequency of LH and has no effect on its amplitude.

                        Sounds like a good plan but I too agree with lowering the test a bit. I would also run Tren Ed. I did this last time and literally had no sides as I believe my blood levels were consistent

                              Thanks man i really appreciate the info, and i moved the subject to its own thread also, sorry, but yeah i am going to run HCG throughout at 500IU`s 1x week. and the caber has been showing some nasty long term sides i have seen a little bit about, and where i get it, it is very expensive so i was just gonna run it in pct or if it was needed, and for the AI i was planning on running it All the way through as well. So you definitely strengthened my belief that i should run HCG and AI throughout the cycle instead.

                                Caber is a bit more expensive as you've seen. Can be a bit elusive for some as well. Id opt for it if possible but usually Pramipexole is the much easier option to obtain. Efficacy of the compound, availability, and price being main factors in that order Imo.

                                As long as you keep your E2 in check with an AI, your prolactin levels wont be at such an advantage to be increased. Cant remember your intended Deca or Tren dosage off hand but if it was going to be higher, it would be more effective using a secondary but more direct route in a prolactin antagonizer to help guard against the effects. Caber is also known to illicit increased libido as a positive side affect for many.

                                Same goes for progesterone. Although getting it wrong with progesterone can be a bit more detrimental as gyno is a result if those along with E2 levels are too high. As we should remember, its progesterone that causes gyno, not prolactin. Using an SPRM (Selective Progesterone Receptor Modulator) like Asoprisnil here would work best, but it is only recommended in extreme cases as it can easily tank levels causing secondary issues. An AI like Aromasin over Adex would prove best here in defense against any 19-Nor due to its effectiveness over progestins.

                                You're very welcome Fullback40. I'm glad I can help spread the knowledge I've come to learn about this wonderful world of AAS
