Post cycle crash. Loss of Libido and strength

[Hildiman]

Would really appreciate some feedback.

I finished a 10 week test E cycle, 500mg a week, 1st 4 weeks Dbol.
I'm currently 3rd week into PCT.
My PCT looks like this. Clomid 75/75/50/50, Nolvadex 40/40/20/20. Also am taking Daa and Started Erase pro this week.

My Libido has really crashed. No drive what so ever!! I feel weak at the gym, don't feel like lifting when I'm there. I'm pretty much lifting what I did before I started the cycle and sort of feel like it was alot of trouble for nothing.

Is this all because my own testosterone hasn't caught up yet?
Is this normal?

I didn't incorperate Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) this time, but plan on it next time for my 2nd cycle

Any feedback would be appreciated

It's normal. You're used to feeling supraphysiological levels of testosterone and now during PCT it's much much less. Give it time and force yourself to be the same person you normally are ie mood, motivation, training the same etc.

PCT Blues

What goes up, must eventually come down, hang in there buddy... another week or two and you will be laughing about this thread

even 100 percent recovery will not make you feel like 500 a week which is 5 x trt...

Stay busy...don t dwell...don t park your self and brood

this will pass

Thanks Guy, will do

Good job on your willingness to incorporate Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) for your next "ON" cycle protocol, it will definitely help with your recovery for next time.

Hey Guy, concerning the HCG, for a 10 week cycle, I"m guessing I will need 2 5000 iu viales, if I'm going to use 500 a week throughout the whole cycle? is that correct? or will one vial do the trick?

 

[Fresh2death]

Nope, one 5000iu vial will be needed. 500/wk x 10 = 5000

Cool, thanks. I read somewhere to do 2 500ui shots a week, so I guess one is sufficient

 

[Fresh2death]

Do 2 250iu shots a week. Just do them on the same days you pin test. Makes it easy to remember.

im in the same boat right now bro, week 4 and libidos pretty fried. I guess you just gotta wait abit longer so dont worry about it and give it some time.

incorperating Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) on only your 2nd cycle? I am new to AAS which I am starting 400mg of E starting tomorow. and going to do wintrol for my last 6 weeks on the cycle (12 weeks). but i would not mind doing Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) on my 2nd cycle, is it safe tho?

I just finished my first one as well and my recovery was really quick either just because of good genes or because I felt so unbelievably shitty the first week that when it finally came time to start PCT I was mega dosing on clomid for the first couple of days doing 100mg.

I don't even know anything about this stuff but the general idea seems to be that thats the one which restarts your nuts, so I figured pound that shit back.

I don't know if this was a gamble or not, but after two weeks of PCT (5 since last pin) I was feeling a lot better, almost normal, so I stopped both the clomid and nolva because I'm cheap and honestly why take it if you don't have to? Its now been about two weeks since I stopped taking them and about a month and a half since my last pin. Feeling pretty much normal.

 

[fat_boy]

this is the main reason why i don't run any aas right now/anymore. next time i hop on i probably won't be getting off, so i want to wait until i'm over 30....

I'm almost done my 4th week of post cycle therapy (pct). 6 weeks since last pin. Starting to feel back to normal now. your right, just have to be patient

Everything I've read about Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is that it totally aids in keeping your nuts from shutting down during cycle and helping you quickly get back on track after the cycle is finished. Sounds like a must if your going to be turning off your nuts for 10 weeks.

"normal" is not ever going to be the same. The blues will pass. The heightened sense of well being, strength, size, libido and all day pump is gone.

Dont dwell on that, keep pushing in the gym, eat clean and life goes on.
