PCT 101: Zac’s Proper Post-Cycle Therapy Guide
Listen up lads. If you’re planning on cycling steroids or PEDs, then you better have a solid post-cycle therapy (PCT) plan in place.
And no, chugging a protein shake and hitting the sauna doesn’t count.
First things first, let’s define PCT. It’s a period of time following a steroid or PED cycle where you take specific compounds and dosages to help your body return to its natural hormonal state. This is crucial because these substances can mess with your testosterone levels, leading to decreased strength, muscle loss, and a host of other negative side effects. Trust me, you don’t want to crash your Test levels, thats a bad time
Now, I know what you’re thinking:
“But Zac, I feel great on the juice, why would I want to go back to my natural state?”
Here’s the thing, that “great” feeling is temporary and can lead to long-term consequences if not properly addressed. Plus, you don’t want to be dependent on these substances for the rest of your life, do you? That’s like relying on pre-workout every time you hit the gym (reality check, thats not healthy long term 👀)
So, what’s the game plan for PCT?
The most common protocol is a combination of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) & Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM’s) such as Nolvadex & Clomid.
As a general rule, using all three in combination will give your body its best shot at returning your natural Testosterone production. Some will use 2 or 1 of these compounds along for PCT, but that does not guarantee full restoration of your natural Testosterone production
The SERM helps to boost testosterone levels and the HCG helps to restore natural testosterone production. This two-pronged approach helps to restore balance to your hormones and prevent any potential side effects.
One of the most popular SERMs on the market is clomiphene citrate (CC), also known as Clomid. It’s been around for decades and has been shown to be effective in numerous studies. A typical PCT protocol would involve taking 50mg of CC per day for 4-6 weeks, starting 3-4 weeks after your last injection.
Another SERM that is commonly used is Tamoxifen citrate, also known as Nolvadex. It’s been used in the treatment of breast cancer and has been shown to be effective in preventing estrogen related side effects. A typical PCT protocol would involve taking 20mg of Nolvadex per day for 4-6 weeks, starting 3-4 weeks after your last injection.
HCG is a hormone that is similar to luteinizing hormone (LH) and it helps to kickstart the production of testosterone after a cycle of steroids or PEDs. A typical PCT protocol would involve taking 500-1000iu of HCG per week for 2-4 weeks, starting 3-4 weeks after your last injection.
Timing for using such compounds is key, and for this you need to understand the half life of the compounds you are taking. For a fully customized PCT please email me and include all compounds and dosages you are running- [email protected]
But wait, there’s more! Another important aspect of PCT is ensuring that you’re getting enough nutrients to support your body’s recovery. This means upping your protein intake, consuming enough healthy fats and carbs, and taking supplements like zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D.
Now, I know all this may seem like a lot to take in, but trust me, bruv, it’s worth it. A proper PCT will not only help you maintain the gains you’ve made during your cycle but also ensure that you’re not doing long-term damage to your body. So, don’t be a dumbbell, make sure you have a solid PCT plan in place before diving into the world of steroids and PEDs.

Why Oral Only Cycles Don’t Stack Up
When it comes to steroids, there are a lot of different options out there.
And while some guys may swear by oral-only cycles, I’m here to tell you that they just don’t stack up against injectable cycles!
First of all, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: oral steroids are way more convenient. I mean, who wants to stick needles in themselves when they can just pop a pill? But here’s the thing: just because something is more convenient doesn’t mean it’s better. In fact, in this case, the convenience of oral steroids comes at a pretty big cost.
See, oral steroids are metabolized differently than injectable steroids. They’re processed through the liver, which can cause all sorts of problems.
Health conditions such as high liver enzyme & jaundice are just some of the potential side effects of long-term oral steroid use. This is why oral steroids tend to be used for very short spans (typically 6ish weeks) and in conjunction with injectables.
Injectable steroids, on the other hand, bypass the liver entirely. That means they’re less toxic and less likely to cause any serious health problems. And while sticking a needle in yourself may not sound like the most pleasant thing in the world, the benefits of injectable steroids far outweigh the inconvenience.
But it’s not just the health risks that make oral-only cycles suck. Injectable steroids are also way more effective. Because they’re not metabolized by the liver, more of the steroid actually makes it into your bloodstream. That means you’ll get better results from an injectable cycle than an oral-only cycle!
Now, I know some of you may be thinking, “But wait, I’ve heard that oral steroids are more powerful than injectable steroids.” And yeah, that’s true (kinda). But it’s not because oral steroids are inherently more powerful – it’s because they’re more concentrated.
You see, oral steroids have to be made in a more concentrated form so that they can be absorbed by the body. But that doesn’t make them more effective.
Additionally taking an oral only cycle will impede your natural Testosterone production. So if your going to shut yourself down (even partially) where you need a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) you might as well use injectables and get decent gainz!
So, let’s sum it up: oral-only cycles are convenient, but they’re not worth the risk to your health. Injectable cycles may be a little more inconvenient, but they’re more effective and less toxic.
And let’s be real, if you’re serious about building muscle and getting stronger, a little inconvenience is a small price to pay.And if you’re not willing to stick a needle in yourself, then you’re not serious about building muscle.
To get more comfortable with needles be on the look out for my article on injecting! Also remember, don’t be a needle-phobic, be a needle-knowledgable.
Injectable steroids are the real deal, and oral-only cycles are just a cheap knockoff. Don’t settle for less, go for the gold standard and always do your research before making any decision regarding steroids use in Australia.
