Taper or pointless?

[walter1332]

Hey I am coming to the last few weeks of my 12 week test prop cycle taking 100 eod and eventually working up to 150 eod. I am wondering if I should start tapering down to help potentially lead into a smoother pct or will this not make much of a difference, or confuse my hormones even more?

Taperring down is not recommended, you are already shutdown. Finish strong and start PCT after 2-3 days of last pin

This. I am sure some old school guy will come in here and tell us how "everyone tapered back in the day with no PCT and they turned out fine" though lol

I do not see the point of tapering. Your shutdown, period.

Only 2-3 days for test prop before pct? Since you pin EOD, adding an extra day before starting pct is too soon. I'd wait 7 days. This is based on my research, not real life experience (yet)

Ideally you want to start PCT at halflife's ester. For prop is 3 days. I believe its better to "waste" a few PCT pills starting sooner than letting test levels drop low and then trying to up them.

Personally Im planning to start PCT on day 10 although test e halflife is 14days (with pregnyl of course till day 10)

What is your dose of HCG? I prefer 250iu ED for a 21 day run pre, pct.

I will do 3days a week test e of 180mg each day so based on that I will pin HCG 180iu 3days week. Last ten days before PCT I will increase to at least 500iu/day, maybe 1000iu. Thats how I have figured it out

I'd be cautious running high doses daily

I will seriously consider your advice. Till May I have plenty of time to make up my mimd
