Running Proviron solo??
« on: October 12, 2008, 04:07:31 PM »
Is there any tangible benefit to running Proviron on its own between cycles??  I finished up a sust/wv/tren/adex cycle in late August, and came off properly with clomid/HCG.  I lost a little, but maintained most of my gains.  Obviously a little softer than when on, which is the reason for my question.  Can it function as a "bridge" of sorts until next spring, say at a dosage of 50-75mg ED??

I've heard some say they run it year-round at 25-50mg ED, for libido/estrogen suppression reasons.

Being a weak androgen, would it cause any shutdown??  And could I segue right into my spring cycle, continuing with the Proviron??

37 yo, 5'10", 230 (down from about 238 while on), and about 7-8%.  It would be the Schering Proviron, so it's the good stuff.

Sure you could bridge with it, but you would still be ON. Even though it would be extremely light. As far as the shutdown it would be pretty minimal.

I could see a use if you feel depressed off cycle and know you wont be recovering fully anytime soon anyway.

Thanks for the feedback boys.

No depression, libido is fine (not like while "on" obviously, but I'm getting the job done).  Like most of you, I just miss the overall feeling of being "on".  Proviron wouldn't replicate that feeling, but I thought it may provide enough of a boost until next cycle without causing much shutdown.

To answer Drop Set - I have run just 1 cycle a year for the past 4 years.  I like mild dosage, longer cycles of 16-20 weeks in the spring/summer.  The 6 month break allows my HPTA to normalize, my body responds better each spring when I start, and I have a career and kids to focus on as well.  Being "on" more than I am just seems selfish to me, all things considered.

I've begun each spring/summer run about 4 to 5 pounds heavier than the previous year, and just as lean (if not leaner).  Was hoping for more feedback from the mods, but I've done enough thinking on it to decide against the idea.  Thanks fellas.

All Provirion will do for you while "off" is keep your sex drive up. You would be better running low dose test (like 150mg ew). This will keep your test levels up and you should see some gains just from having your test in the high natural range. I love Provirion while "on" as it keeps my sex drive through the roof, and keeps me nice and dry. It gives you that feeling like you just have to have sex. When you do have sex its incredible, better than just on test alone.
