Hello everyone, I am WangSir
Today we will share a highly discussed question
That is whether PCT is necessary, or if it must be done
Many friends who want to doC have also researched PCT online
There are two mainstream opinions:
1. It is necessary to do PCT after using steroids
2. It is completely unnecessary to do PCT
First, let’s clarify that when steroids were first introduced into the bodybuilding market, there was no concept of PCT
It wasn’t until after the 1990s that people began to research the concept of PCT
These researchers believed that after using exogenous hormones to gain a lot of muscle and strength
To retain these gains after stopping the drugs
They proposed using certain medications to quickly restore endogenous testosterone secretion
Thus preserving the muscle growth brought by C
In fact, looking at it now, after countless experiments by bodybuilders
It is not possible to retain these gains; more accurately, it should be about retention rate
When we use steroids, the hormone levels in our body are many times higher than normal
So even if you quickly restore endogenous secretion, it is not enough to retain the muscle that will be lost
For example, if you use1000 of testosterone weekly
Suddenly adjusting the dose to750 will still result in some muscle loss
Let alone after stopping the drugs
Of course, the muscle lost is only the muscle that does not belong to you
As long as subsequent nutrition and training are not neglected
Most users can retain over70% of their gains
Muscle gain itself is a wave-like progression, a spiral ascent
Even if you lose some after stopping the drugs
You will continue to rise to heights that were previously unattainable
I personally believe that whether to do PCT is not so absolute
Because even if you do not do PCT, endogenous hormones will still restore secretion
It is just a matter of time
Some simple medication plans for PCT
Can have side effects greater than those of the cycle itself
However, there are three situations where it is necessary to do PCT:
1. Difficulty in restoring endogenous hormones, which is a matter of constitution
2. Long duration of medication, more than six months
3. Severe fatigue and weakness after stopping medication
That’s all for today’s sharing. For those with needs for muscle gain, fat loss, competition preparation, doing C, or bridging PCT recovery, please follow the public account below
