i plan on competing soon and cycling test prop, winstrol, and clen for 10 weeks. i've always been a believer in only using for pre-contest purposes, but thanks to this board and further research, i've decided to use regularly. my question is:
after my pre-contest cycle, should i follow a pct plan even if i plan on getting back on cycle with something like test e soon after? how long should i wait after my pre-contest cycle to start using regularly? for example, if i use for 10 weeks pre-contest, and take a 3 month break, i should be following a pct plan with clomid or nolvadex? or, if i plan on getting back on cycle with something like test e and d-bol or decca sooner than 3 months after, is pct necessary? what is a better and safer idea? also, for those that use consistently throughout the year, do you use pct or just take a few weeks off and then start again?
i think i have a pretty good idea of what to use, how to use it, and the positive and negative effects that go along with, but i am confused with proper cycling. i am afraid of the diminished natural test resulting from steroid use, and although i know that cannot be avoided, i would like to remain as healthy as possible. as a newbie to this board, and only using once before for pre-contest and then getting off completely, i don't know how to use regularly. please help.
