Critique my PCT

Polska

I've just completed a long term low dose cycle of test enanthate. 200-250mg a week for 32 weeks... that's 8 months. I used myself as a guinea pig for a low dose, long-term cycle.

Now comes the difficult time of recovery.

I am planning to incorporate these compounds:

Nolva @ 40mg ed.
Aromasin @ 12.5mg ed.
Insulin @ 10iu PWO (4 weeks on/4 weeks off)

And supplementing with:

Creatine (CEE) @ 3-6g ed.
Arginine AAKG
Avena Sativa
Tribulus
DHEA
ZMA

My only concern is the DHEA as it's supposed to increase insulin sensitivity/response. Haven't decided on dosages for supplements yet.
Any thoughts?

Any timeline you are thinking of for each of the compounds at this point?

I like to run Reduce XT as an anti-cortisol, but maybe the insulin would be enough.

No clomid?

BTW, would like to hear your cycle results. Perhaps you can post something up in the steroid forum.

This PCT will take awhile. I am thinking of running the Nolva for 8-12 weeks. I may taper the dose off from 40mg to 20mg midway through though. The Aromasin I will only run for 30 days. I've been running it throughout the end of my cycle at 12.5mg EOD, and have just upped it to 12.5mg ED as I am coasting through this next week, waiting for the androgen levels to drop enough to start the tamoxifen. So I am just cruising at 12.5mg of Aromasin a day now to keep the estrogen low. The supps and a whole lotta clean food will help with anabolism as much as possible. I think it will take around half a year to recover. But I have enough Nolva to run 8-12 weeks, so I am planning out my immediate PCT on that timeline. Afterwards I may take another AI to boost testosterone even further, maybe even some IGF, etc. This will be an on-going PCT so to speak, until bloodwork shows that I am fully back to normal.

I get very bad side effects from this serm. In my experience Nolvadex has done a better job, using a much lower dosage than clomid. I don't think I will use clomid again. Nolva just does it for me.

This cycle was a bit complicated. It started out as a normal lower dose cycle at 400mg a week of test e. I used it along with insulin and IGF during the winter months to bulk up and gained roughly 20 lbs of clean size.

Then I started cutting in the spring and incorporated 50mg of winny and dropped the test dose to 200-250mg each week. After being on the winny for about 4 weeks (I was going to quit at 5) I developed extreme tendonitis in both elbows which disallowed me to train for a good 1.5 months. During this time I kept taking the testosterone to keep muscle mass as I was still cutting and doing cardio. I resumed training and just ran the test until it ran out.

So I was able to cut 15 lbs of mass, of which I am guessing 10 lbs was fat and 5 lbs was LBM... I did atrophy a bit during the 1.5 months of not training.

The end result is a 15 lbs mass gain and a 10 lb fat reduction. Nothing spectacular for an 8 month run, but I was injured and the dose was on the low end.

The real thing I am curious about is whether recovery will be any different, or more difficult, compared to a normal 12 week run.
