Thats a whole other rabbit hole man haha
Once you start taking PEDs its for life.
Your natural levels will almost never go back to the way they were.
I'm only on TRT and HCG. I tried for a year to get my natural levels up to optimal because I didn't want to take something if I didn't have to.
I ate healthy. Slept 8-9 hours every night. Lifted
weights 5-6 days a week, etc.
You name it, I tried it.
Nothing worked for me unfortunately.
I got 4 different blood panels done and they were all showing my test was in the shitter. And I felt it too.
So I started trt and I finally started feeling like myself again after a couple months.
You don't have to take HCG with it. But I was getting testicle pain so I got that as well.
Even now im not blasting it. I'm taking just enough to keep me at optimal test levels because it is a life commitment.
If I was taking 2cc of test a week thats a beginner steroid cycle haha
I don't even take half of that.
You start blasting gear thats how you die out of nowhere at 40
It does help build muscle and lose fat because you'll be able to push yourself harder than if you weren't taking it.
