I hadn't been on for over 2 years until my last cycle. Previously I ran test E only - awesome and simple, test E/deca - shut me down for so long it wasn't fun at all. I also ran test prop/tren A and felt like god while on. When random big guys were passing me by and saw my bar bending while I was squating they would give me a spot without me asking. However, the sides weren't worth the long-term gains, i.e. 24 hour sweats, barely controllable aggression, vivid dreams, dark yellow urine=not a good sign).
So I've become a believer in simple test only cycles. Besides, I work with various clients a lot and can't afford to look intimidating
So recently I ran a good-ol' 13weeker 500mg test only, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 500iu per week(5w-13w, didn't have enough) and it was great. 20lbs gain like it was my first cycle. So far I have kept at least half of it. For post cycle therapy (pct) I used 20mg Nolva for 40 days. That's where I might have made a mistake?.. I didn't seem to recover quick enough considering the simplicity of the cycle. It's been almost 2 months since the end of the post cycle therapy (pct) but I still don't have any sex drive, I am very weak in the gym, and don't recover after a workout as quickly. I work out every other day when I'm off.
I was playing with numbers at roidcalc.com and was thinking if it's worth to finish a long ester cycle with a few weeks of a short ester to shorten the number of weeks between the cycle and post cycle therapy (pct) and perhaps make the process of recovery faster?
Something like this:
12 weeks ~600mg Test E
13-17 week ~400mg Test Prop
What do you guys think, should I give a try to long-short esters cycle or change my post cycle therapy (pct) perhaps?
P.S. I've run Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) before and I felt like it boosted my estrogen levels. My nipples were extra sore and bacne broke out from test e only which never happened on a similar cycle with no HCG. So I'm thinking to drop it next cycle and see how it works out without it.
Stats: late 20's, 200lbs, 12%bf.
