POST-COURSE RECOVERY
PCT is a set of measures and drugs, the purpose of which is to eliminate the negative effects of steroids and accelerate the recovery of the body after an AAS cycle. In our store you can buy all the drugs you need for PCT. We can guarantee that you will like the price of Antiestrogens. Let's note the main goals of rehabilitation therapy:
- Restoration of normal hormonal levels.
- Reducing the rollback effect.
- Elimination of symptoms of gynecomastia.
- Restoring the performance of the testicles and the pituitary axis.
- Prevention and elimination of all side effects after steroid courses.
Preparations for PCT
For rehabilitation therapy in sports, several groups of drugs are used. All of them are actively used by athletes on PCT, and the feedback from experienced athletes can convince you of their need. The most significant among them are antiestrogen. They, in turn, are classified into two classes.
Aromatase inhibitors
These drugs are used during a course of AAS to slow down the aromatization process, say letrozole, proviron or anastrozole. They will be effective when you use at least one aromatizing steroid, such as methane or testosterone esters.
Estrogen-type receptor blockers
This class of drugs is not so numerous and includes clomid, toremifene and tamoxifen. Their main task is to restore the normal rate of testosterone production.
Gonadotropin
Our interest in human chorionic gonadotropin is primarily due to the fact. that exogenous (artificial) HCG has almost the same qualities as luteinizing hormone (LH), which, as already mentioned, is formed in the pituitary gland. In men, luteinizing hormone stimulates the sex cells in the testicles and increases the production of androgenic hormones (testosterone). Therefore, injectable HCG is used by athletes to increase testosterone production.
HCG is used most often in combination with anabolic / androgenic steroids, namely either at the end or in the middle of the cycle. As has been repeatedly mentioned, oral and injectable steroids cause a “feedback” effect after a certain period of their use. By influencing the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Testicles arc, steroids send a false signal to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus transmits a signal to the pituitary gland to reduce or completely stop the production of follicular-stimulating hormone FSH and luteinizing hormone LH. The level of testosterone decreases, because the testosterone-producing germ cells of the testicles are not sufficiently stimulated by luteinizing hormone.
Temporary injections of HCG while taking steroids can prevent testicular atrophy, so many athletes take HCG in the middle of their steroid treatment for 2 to 3 weeks. It is noticed that just at this time the athlete achieves his best success in terms of mass and strength. This is explained by the fact that, on the one hand, the athlete has a high level of his own testosterone due to the use of HCG, on the other hand, there is also a high concentration of anabolic active substances in the blood due to the use of steroids.
Most athletes still take HCG at the end of the steroid cycle, so as not to "break down", i.e. to ensure a better transition to "natural training". Slow and gradual reduction of the dose of the steroid is still the main prerequisite. Although HCG very quickly leads to a significant increase in endogenous testosterone levels, it is unfortunately not a panacea in the fight against loss of strength and mass at the end of a steroid cycle. As has often been observed, the athlete is subject to delayed breakdown here.
Omitting the scientific justification and numerical calculations, we can say that the athlete should inject himself with 1 ampoule of HCG every 5 days. And since testosterone levels, as mentioned above, remain high for several days after injection, more frequent use of HCG is completely unnecessary.
A suitable dose for athletes is usually somewhere between 1000 - 5000 IU (depending on the duration of the course and dosages of AAS.
When taking HCG, the same side effects can occur as when taking testosterone. With increased testosterone production, estrogen levels also increase, which can result in gynecomastia (growth of the mammary glands).
Cabergoline (Dostinex)
This remedy is used to slow down the rate of production of prolactin. It is necessary to use cabergoline in courses involving nandrolone and trenbolone.
