I used TREN during this off-season to see what my body response was, and it made my muscles harder and kept my BF low enough which I like, now I'll update with what I'm currently using

Body Recomp Report: Week 1 of Deficit.
The mission has shifted: from bulk to caloric deficit for body recomposition. I truly needed this change. The mental clarity that comes with leaning out is as vital as physical strength.
I am feeling the cut. The energy dips are real, a true test of discipline. This is where the resident mindset kicks in: the job must be done, regardless of fatigue.
The body may be running on fumes, but gym performance? Absolute devastation.
Yesterday was a masterful session: a brutal back day followed by biceps and abs. I maintained maximum focus on the Mind-Muscle Connection, prioritizing contraction and intensity.
This recomposition is a necessary recalibration. It is not about comfort; it is about being effective in the gym and not accumulate fat.
Tip for the Deficit: Do not chase PRs. Chase the pump and the contraction. Focus on volume density and perfect form.
Stay strong brothers and sisters

Vivere Est Militare: The PCT Protocol & The Grind
Quick update on my current phase: I am now on Day 2 of my Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT).
I hadn't mentioned the protocol before, but it's a planned 4-week recovery. The first week is a wash-out, and for the remaining three weeks, Iβll be running 25mg of Clomid and 10mg of Tamoxifen daily to the end of Week 4.
Despite the lack of exogenous support, apart from the Cialis, I absolutely crushed chest day today. The pump was phenomenal, and the energy felt fantastic. This body recomp/cut phase is definitely successful so far.
The only real battle is managing boredom hunger in this deficit, but that's a mental game, and those are the games we win.
Focusing on the immediate goal: preserving this muscle while sharpening up.
Wish everyone a great pump!!!

Because TREN cycle finished and I want to reset my endogenous production of testosterone now, but don't worry I've already planned the next cycle

Bro you know 19nors remain active on the progesterone receptor long after the ester clears right? (Suppressing you hpta)
If your next cycle is already planned, why do a pct?

He's young, I think he just wants to preserve his fertility which is pretty hard with using 19nors, but it would probably be sufficient to switch to legitimate TRT and use a combination of fertility/testicular function drugs like HCG, HMG, Recombinant FSH. Right after finishing tren hes doing more harm than good with taking 2 different serms for no real reason, reducing his igf1, causing lipid issues, and I am not sure who uses Clomid nowadays instead of Enclomephine when its the same drug just with less side effects

Because I felt I wasn't going to get any more value from blasting other gear, I just reset my hormones for now, lose a bit of fa,t and then proceed with the next cycle

I have also included enclomiphene. If you recommend it, I'll use it instead of Clomid. Now that I have it, what do I do with Clomid?
But why would you want to reset your hormones?
PCT is a protocol to get out of steroids or TRT. Not to wait for the next cycle.
And if you're weakened (you're very low about testosterone) or you can't reset... You're not going to lose fat but all the hard-earned muscle.

I don't think this will be the case, I just need a hormonal reset to balance my natural production before heading to the next cycle straight away
Why do you need a hormonal reset? That's what I don't understand.
Because it's such a bad idea. There is no need to do so if if you plan another cycle immediately once your body is hormonally autonomous again.
150mg of testosterone per week would have spared your body from an unnecessary hormonal disorder and a loss of muscle gain.

Probably keep it for desperate times, or just throw it into the trash, it's an outdated drug with many problems, the zuclomiphene component causes problems like visual disturbances
meant to reply to this
SERMS also come with a price as I stated above, I agree he's better off going to trt with a bit of hcg

We'll see effectively how much muscle I will lose, I predict very few to none
In fact,Ii will use 1000 IU of hCG weekly from week 2

This makes a lot of sense, actually. Yes, I'm going to consider taking a complete 4-week off period with nothing except HCG, and then I'll go on with the cycle. Starting from week 1, I'll add the test and the other compounds.
PS: I won't really approach this method of reset, it's dangerous for restoring hormonal balance and since i have enclomiphene i will use it

Hi Davy,
donβt do that. Four weeks completely off wonβt give you any meaningful βresetβ , youβll only get depressed, lose some gains, and feel like crap. Four weeks of nothing is basically pointless.
If you really want to recover, then do a proper PCT or go straight on TRT. If you donβt have fertility issues, PCT isnβt worth it, TRT will keep your body stable, protect your gains and keep you mentally sane before the next cycle.
The last time I did a real PCT, it was only for fertility reasons and it took me almost half a year to get everything back to normal and honestly, I was lucky. For many guys it can take much longer, even multiples of that. Recovery is a slow process, not something that happens in 4 weeks.
If youβre curious, you can read my pct protocol I used here:

I really don't have any fertility issues; the only problem I have is the continuous use of AAS, and this bothers me, as I've seen many pro bodybuilders take an "off-period" for resetting the body.
Also, don't worry, I just checked my safe for what I'll use during this PCT, and I'm doing good. I have Nolvadex and enclomiphene with HCG, so I will be using them. I'll make a Google sheet with the PCT protocol and share it here so you all can tell me what I can adjust or your opinion regarding it
