I just figured the 2x/week injection would keep a more ‘stable’ blood work.

Another guy in the thread “Titan Labs, Eco Oils, & PTC Oh My!” has been using the Mon/Thur split injection method of 500mg Test E per week, for 4 weeks and said it’s done nothing for him so far.
Whereas in my case, I did a lower dose of 450mg/week Test E, the whole lot in two shots every Monday. Also with a 30mg/day D-Bol kickstart from Mon-Fri (taking weekends off the gear)…and have had great results, which were really starting to kick in by week 3.
I weighed in at 78.8kg at start of cycle and by Week 7, am up to 85kg, with heaps of strength increase, moderate acne (which I’m combatting with antibiotics) and no signs of gyno or hair loss.
Perhaps you should try what I’ve been doing?
[quote]I keep going around in circles with the PCT. Proviron during the cycle but only after about 3weeks til end of cycle. Then Nolva at 40mg for 2weeks, 20mg for 2 weeks. IF symptoms during cycle then add in Nolva at 40mg day until disappear although proviron is weak AI anyway so hopefully not needed.
So where does clomid fit into it and would you think it necessary at all? Is it just a weaker alternative to nolva? (I am sure its a bit more complicated than that but for arguements sake…)

The only PCT i’m going to use is Clomid for 10-14 days, starting 2 weeks after the Test E wears off. Plus, perhaps, a taper off the Test during the last few weeks of cycle, which seems to be recommended on this board.
As far as PCT goes, according to RC’s website, as I’ve posted before,
“In most cases Clomid can normalize the testosterone level and the spermatogenesis (sperm development) within 10-14 days. For this reason Clomid is primarily taken after steroids are discontinued…As for the dosage, 50-100mg/day seems to be sufficient…The duration of intake should not exceed 10 to 14 days.”
I’ll just go by the supplier’s directions in that case. The only thing PCT is required for, IMO, is to bring your balls back online - i.e. normalize testosterone and sperm production by the testicles. So that’s where Clomid fits in.
Also, to my knowledge, Nolva or other anti-estrogens are mainly for combatting gyno, so in my case I feel I don’t need them because I don’t have a problem with it so far. I also do not bloat up much, and retain my hair pretty well. Added to the fact that taking Nolva concurrently with a cycle minimizes one’s gains to a slight degree. Other members can correct me if I’m wrong here or chime in with their views.
Anyway, I just keep dosages and concurrent drugs minimal and simple, to minimize sides and keep the gains maximal.
