Theres an [older] guy that works out at the gym I do, and after getting to know him and talk to him he's ran his share of the sauce. He's now in his late 40's and looks great and at first glance looks like late 30's or early 40's and massive clean dry muscle. Somehow we got into the discussion of HCG, etc. The big debate with HCG is whether or not to run small doses throughout cycle, or run high doses during post cycle therapy (pct).....he made up my mind with one simple logical point, as he put it:
HCG just like any steroid hormone has it's pro's and it's con's. Pro's: Saves our testes, helps bounce back natural test production, which helps keep gains and earn you a more successful cycle. Con's: Has always been highly debated on dosage and timing, increases aromitization, and just one more pin to stick in you (even though it's typically a 28g and 1/2", so no biggy on the extra pinning). It makes perfect sense to run throughout cycle, rather than post cycle therapy (pct), for a few reasons. It prevents your testes from ever shrinking in the first place. post cycle therapy (pct) is the best time to take control of, or rid of any gyno that existed or started throughout the cycle, so adding a compound that can cause more aromitization will just lessen your chances of ridding of that gyno, or minimizing it. Although it does serve it's main purpose running it during post cycle therapy (pct) (to restore testes), it's more convenient to run small doses throughout the cycle and keep those testes hanging low for yourself and your lady.
That's just to sum it up of what all he said, but he had some very good points to stand behind running HCG during cycle rather than post cycle therapy (pct) which was always something I debated on which to do, until he convinced me best to just do throughout cycle. He also said he'd throw it in with his test injection on occasion (because he had no smaller needles on hand, etc) and he said it worked just fine due to the fact that it can be injected intramuscularly or sub-q. I don't know if I like the idea myself of mixing HCG in the same syringe with my test, but then again, he has a point on the fact that theres no scientific evidence that discourages the idea. Either way, he's only had gyno issues once, of which he had removed about 10 years ago, and hasn't had anymore issues since and that's the only issues he's ever had. He's had blood tests done and others as well. Of which his doctor has confirmed time and time again he's perfectly healthy and even healthier than most adults his age. The only issue he has is a knee joint issue, of which he had surgery on after an injury during college football, but it hasn't held him back. As he said
"Be smart. Be safe. Listen to the experienced. Do your research. Don't be afraid of the doctor any other person that can answer any question you have pertaining to steroids and cycles. Always remember...the diet is the secret."
Well put...wise man!
