Interesting to hear this. I had been wanting to give this a try recently but scared myself. What was the hardest part for you? And what also did you run for your pct and it still sucked so bad?
I run nothing for my PCT.
Short ester for 6 weeks running up to stopping. Then just stop. First 3 weeks are effortless, there after it becomes progressively harder.
The body can and does naturally restore what you are capable of producing. The idea that you must use hCG and SERMS isn't true. Granted it will speed up the process, but eventually you'll have to go natural to see what you can and can't do.
We know the power PCT protocol works, but we also know natural restoration works as well, it's just slower, more painful and a bit demoralizing as you lose strength.
That said natural PCT for me has worked and I will continue it for the rest of my natural life or as long as I can use AAS.
As for the science of using SERMS and not using anything.....these both intersect in the same place after 9 months, so regards with or without drugs. Most people obviously aren't gonna wait 9 months, but I didn't have to, so far for me 3 months is the maximum I've been off and then I go back on.
