One weeks break during PCT? was created by Mr_SA

So, i am coming to the end of my NPP, Test Prop, Winnie, Proviron cycle end of this week, and then start my PCT for 3 weeks of Clomid and HCG.
I have been at gym non stop for the last about 13 weeks or so (not that my cycle has been that long), and feel that my body needs a break from the pounding its been getting.

My question:
Would it be okay to take a 1 week break from gym during my PCT? .

Give it a shot, you're only TESTing it...

In my experience I would say no, I would rather take a break after PCT. As you may know and as Inja advised me you have too hit it real hard during PCT to hold on to your gains.

But be sure not to overtrain at this time, this can be tricky coming of cycle and will have a negative effect, but you need to keep the signals in the body through intense weight training to tell the body it needs to hang on to all its new muscle.

lol, the theory is a break every 6 weeks or so, but obviously i havent taken a break as i was on cycle... The body is telling me to relax, but i will push on. Another 3 weeks wont kill me, i think! lol
Thank for all the inputs!!

PS: I actually hate taking a day off gym, i really do, therefore a weeks break will drive me insane!

Up your calorie in take as well to help maintain gains.
Up your vit c to 3g p/day, will help keep you anabolic.

What sucks is that I can't take creatine mono as it pushes my BP through the roof and gives me severe head aches....

anything else to help PCT if one can't use creatine...

I will when LSJ gets CEE..

I just answered that in my last reply above yours.
You can also add some clen to keep you anabolic.
Tribulus as well

i've read allot of articles showing that low dose of dianabol can work, even doctari said that.... low enough to be anabolic but not mess up PCT...

also the 'natrual' substances that push your BP up is creatine and using an AI will now stop the water of creatine as its not estrogen related... if i'm using 5mg of dianabol I can use an AI and keep water down, hence what im doing on this cycle with no bp related issues...

and clen pushes up bp which cant be avoided due to it being a stimulant..

now if you start at 5mg of dianabol a day during the first week of PCT and then extend an extra week... this could work?

Everyone to their own and I am in no position to challenge a medical doc.

BUT, I do believe if you do a PCT you do a PCT. I don't even recommend proviron during PCT. I do think your case is a little different from most guys considering what issues you have had and would strongly consider sticking to best practice and not pushing the envelope.

I always give guys conservative advice to avoid exactly what you experienced.

If you want to do gear, then do gear, but if you want your body to recover, then let your body recover.

Lol... that is top quality advice... as that is, like you said, how I damaged my body... I have never tried this protocol and allways steered well away from proviron in your PCT...

i'll stick to what I know.... proper PCT only and go purchace some CEE....

It's not even the fact of it could work or not, its the fact that its toxic for a start and your body is not getting a chance to clean out and function normally...

i'm going to leave anything funny during this time... any idea from what dose of clen one needs for it to become some what a usefull anabolic? maybe if I squeeze the dose low I can use it?

Hard to say, but I reckon 20 - 40mcg p/day will be enough to keep you anabolic.
Best way to see if it's working is to take your temp every morning for a week when you get out of bed. Start the clen and take your temp as before, the temp should rise by about 1 degree. This shows you its working. When your temp moves back to what it was the week before the clen you must stop as the receptors have down regulated completely. Break for 2 weeks and start again.

Spot on Netro. Don't recommend taking any androgens during PCT!

To stay anabolic and retain muscle,
Eat Hard,
Train Hard,
Sleep Hard,
Do proper PCT...

That's all you need.
