ok..heres the deal imo... none of us should say you dont need a serm for pct when doing h-drol..have a serm on hand always..better safe then sorry..now heres what i experienced..if your gonna do h-drol at the low recommended dosage then yes you can get away with using an OTC pct such as novedex xt,inhibit-e, adavnced pct, ect..ect. using an ATD imo is ok as long as you use a low dosage and taper down..dont wanna kill all estrogen because then your body will have to reproduce it and it will at a higher rate..my choice would be advanced pct which is a 6-bromo and not a 3,17 keto-etiochol-triene(ATD)suicide inhibitor like novedex xt and inhibit-e . Now..if your gonna dose h-drol alot higher like me and alot of us have to do to get better results then this increases the risks of sides alot more and i would use a serm for pct for sure. just my opinion.
I respectfully disagree with what you just said about "none of us can tell you to have a SERM for H-drol." I am straight up telling you that you need a SERM for any halodrol-50 clone, from personal experience, mass precedence on the topic, and the physiology of what occurs in your body after your cycle. From personal experience, I ran a halodrol-50 clone for my first "cycle" a few years ago and went from 195-210, and I lost 1% bodyfat (from 9%-8%). I ran it 50, 75, 75, 75, 75, 75. After the cycle I STUPIDLY did not a take a SERM, and instead opted for an OTC-PCT. My diet and training did not change whatsoever, but within 8 weeks of the end of my cycle I was back down to exactly 195 from 210.
The second time I ran a h-drol cycle, I dosed it the same way, except this time I used a SERM (tamoxifen citrate) and nothing else for PCT. I went from 195-210 again, except this time I kept it all, and even got more "cut up" looking through the PCT. I am 8 months removed from that cycle, and I have not lost one pound and my bf % is sitting around 7%.
Those are my personal experiences. But the physiology should trump any personal experience you read on the internet, and the physiology states that you are SHUT DOWN after a cycle. When you are shut down, you need something to get your test back up. This is where the SERM comes in. Get it?
