    First cycle, is HCG necessary?
    on: 2015-03-21 20:49:50
    I've just started first week of multitesto 350, which to my understanding is basically sustanon. A friend takes it and it's legit. I am 6'2 210lbs and 32 years old. This is my first cycle and, pre-gear, my libido has been through the roof thanks to tribulus, longjack etc.. Anyway, I'm splitting my test350 blend into .5cc M+F. I am running that for 10wks. I am worried about it messing with my libido in the future and was wondering if adex and clomid will be enough. I'm not to familiar with HCG and didn't know if there was an age bracket that it's more appropriate for. I'm hoping that the 175mg 2xWk will be mild enough to recover from. Is HCG worth it in hopes of being proactive or should the adex and clomid do the trick? I'd rather spend the money and ensure recovery, but if it's unnecessary please let me know. After PCT will the tribulus, longjack etc help to get my natural levels back up quicker? I'm cutting them out while on cycle. Am I on the right track with my cycle? Not that this matters but I also take 2iu Hyge daily. Thanks so much for your time, it's greatly appreciated!!

    Hey bro, good question. There is no age bracket that one should start using HCG, though age can be a factor in recovery and I would always suggest it to the older guys that are interested in regaining natural production post cycle. Really though, it isn't going to hurt for anyone of any age, to add HCG into the plan. The way I see it, we are already spending a bunch of money on gear, the food it takes to grow, the time in the gym, not to mention gym membership and everything else that goes along with "the lifestyle". Why not spend a few more dollars to better ensure that you do recover at an optimal rate and maintain as much possible...basically, you will have invested a lot of time and money, so why not put a litte more into recovery?

    As far as cycles go, this shouldn't be one of the harder ones to recover from. Its when you add in 19 Nors, like Deca or tren, that a lot of guys have issues. Everyone is unique though. Some have a harder time recovering in general. Also, I find that the more cycles you do, the harder they can be to recover from, especially as time off periods get shorter, doses get higher and cycles are run for extended periods. Your best bet is to never reach that point and stay healthy to begin with. Making it a practice of using HCG may help with this, so as you said "be proactive".

    I would dose your HCG at 250-500iu 2x wk through the cycle and stop 3 days short of PCT. If you have a little extra toward the end, I'd go up to a few doses of 1000iu. Just remember that your test levels will go up because of this, which in turn will create more estrogen, so stay on your AI while using HCG
