1. I would start with 1mg EOD on adex. If you can lower to .5 EOD and do well maintaining average estrogen, then you can use that. The only way to know whats best is to do labs but somewhere in that range is good for most guys. 2. HCG is not necessary but will help your recovery. 3. Nolvadex and clomid are not “necessary” but doing PCT at all isn’t truly necessary. Its an insurance policy to make sure you recover as well as you can. Recovering from a cycle is just as important as your gains. Without recovery, you lose your gains. So I would do everything you can
