36 yrs old, first cycle ever, ran just test e @400mg a week for 15 weeks. Ran just the test to see how my body would react to it. Amazing results to say the least. Added 22 lbs to my frame, and body fat literally disappeared, now I’m shredded and jacked. I was eating 4,000 calories a day while on my cycle. Took 2 weeks off after cycle and started PCT. Took Clomid at 100mg a day AND Nolva at 40mg a day for the first week. Cutting down to 75 mg of Clomid and 40mg of Nolva for week 2…then 50 mg of Clomid and 20mg of Nolva for weeks 3 and 4. Is this OVERKILL for just 400mg of test e a week for 15 weeks? I just want to make sure I am protecting my body (AND not fucking it up) Any input is appreciated
Yes it is your fine with just the nolva 40/40/20/20
Drop the Clomid. You’ll get good results from just the Nolva as @zeek1414 said.
So you think the Clomid and Nolva together is overkill? I’ll be good dropping the Clomid and only using the 40/40/20/20 since I was just running the test? If I stacked…then would I need both? Thinking about stacking next cycle…
In men with hypogonadism 40mg of Nolva was equivalent to 150mg of Clomid in terms of impact on testosterone levels. It’s overkill to use both irrespective of what your cycle looked like. You need to restart, no matter what a cycle contains, and Nolva has the best risk-adjusted return.
I’ve been on my PCT for 2 weeks now…I took your advice and dropped the Clomid and have just been going with the 40 a day of the Nolva. (I felt like shit the first week because clearly it WAS overkill…the Clomid at 100 a day and the Nolva at 40 combined) So feeling better off just the Nolva. My nuts have already returned to normal size and are actually bigger than they were before I ever did my cycle. They feel that way at least. Do I still need to do 2 more weeks of the Nolva at 40 a day or am I good to stop my PCT?
No, the final two weeks are at 20mg/d.
Thanks man, I really appreciate your advice
