PCT after steroid cycle

[Deleted member 121948]

After a steroid cycle, isn't PCT always required? I was talking to this guy on reddit and when I said PCT is always required whether you are on TRT or not it does not matter, he said I should do some research first. Can any roid user confirm whether PCT is always needed or not?

If your bloodwork shows that your natural testosterone levels, estrogen, and other key markers are within a healthy range after your cycle, then PCT is not required

But if test is low, then TRT would be needed right?

no, if ur test doesnt recover after pct then TRT is needed

Ik that's unlikely cause everyone does more than 1 cycle. However, if I do a cycle of 300mg test E and stop roids. Will I need PCT?

most likely it will recover without pct but it can take a lot of time and u will feel like shit for a while when ur levels are recovering so I would recommend pct or trt if u plan to do more cycles

ok but if i just do one cycle of 300 mg test and my levels recover after PCT, I would not need trt right?

and how much lean muscle can I retain without doing trt?

yes TRT is not needed then, but keep in mind that its not always 100% sure that ur test recovers with pct

50-70% of lean muscle gains can be retained with proper PCT, diet and training

Makes sense. What all is included in PCT?

u can use enclomiphene, clomid, or nolvadex

can I retain that much muscle without PCT?

yes if ur levels recover fast enough

approx how much muscle can I expect on 300 mg test e? in terms of lean muscle?
