Havoc PCT advice

I am about to finish my 5th week of Havoc (20/20/30/30/40)
I am curious at to those experienced with Havoc and these PCT supps would dose these
Nolva, aPCT, LeanXtreme
I have a decent idea as I have asked some senior members, and board reps but I keep seeing conflicting advice throughout other members threads.

along with Cycle Support, Multi, tri-creatine malate, BCAAs, zma
I was going to do
Nolva -- - - - - 20/20/20/20
aPCT - - - - - - 3/3/2/1
LeanExtreme - 4/4/4/4


Although I have seen
aPCT at 3/3/3/3
and LeanExtreme at 4/3/2/2 or even x/x/4/4
I would assume that keeping aPCT at a straight dose would lead to a rebound after the 4th week and the same with a cortisol blocker - no

What do you guys/gals suggest and why?

Thanks

Nolva
40 first 3 days then:
30/20/20/10
Less is more IMO with Nolva, especially after a compoud like havoc which isn't too harsh.


aPCT
0/1/2/3
You dont want to obliterate estrogen levels during PCT. It will screw your recovery.


Lean XTreme
4/4/4/4 sounds cool to me.

Do you mind explaining why ramping up and then suddenly stopping aPCT is a good idea? - maybe I am just over thinking this whole thing too much.
And the same with Lean Xtreme - why a sudden end would not lead to a rebound in cortisol levels?

This looks fine to me.

aPCT
0/1/2/3
You dont want to obliterate estrogen levels during PCT. It will screw your recovery.

The AI should start off low and increase in dose over the 4 week period. I would start it during week 1 however.


Lean XTreme
4/4/4/4 sounds cool to me.

I would gradually taper the Anti-Cort. Immediately during the pct period cortisol will rise sharply as the body is shocked into attempting to upregulate its HPTA. An anti-cort is needed less as the body begins to gradually recover. Something to the effect of 4,4,3,2 would be what i'd do.
See above

So exactly how is everyone getting the Nolva...going to the Doc and saying I just did some "legal" juice, now I need this drug for post cycle therapy?

Or finding on the black market?

Or is there anywhere you can buy it without a script (if we're talking about real tamoxefin, which think is what Nolvadex is).

No replies....kind of figured that'd be the case.

Personally, I don't give out sources.

I wasn't looking for a source per se, just very general info...I can read between the lines if necessary.

I notice no one said they go to their Doc so I think that says a bunch.

Typically, if no serm is used, most people like to simply run an AI taper for estrogen control.

If a serm is implemented, you are allowing estrogen to come back to "normal" levels but not take effect (because the serm doesn't stop production, it just blocks estrogen from binding). As you taper the serm, you want to make sure your estrogen production does not "overshoot" normal production levels so you ramp your AI INVERSE to the serm, just as trauma suggested. This is a good theory, and it's popular, but know that there are other successfully run strategies as well.

I say know the subjective history of your compound in regards to your question of simply stopping the AI. Do people see nipple and gyno at the end of pct or after pct? Know the subjective history of the AI you are using. Do people tend to discuss gyno or nipple sensations if they don't taper it?

The answer varies drastically, but you have to read read read to find out the trends.

Ya, I'm doing some homework for a Furaz to Havoc bridge or stack in about a month or so. It'll be a gametime decision though based on how body comp comes along in the mean time.
