The advantage is that there's actually a two-stage process of inhibition. You have the hypothalamus and the pituitary. Between the two of them, the hypothalamus produces a hormone called LHRH, and that tells the pituitary to produce LH. LH tells the testicles to produce testosterone. Now, after two weeks, the pituitary actually isn't inhibited yet. In fact, it's sensitized. So it will put out more LH from LHRH during the first two weeks. If you stop at two weeks, the recovery is very, very fast. All you have to do is stop and when the hypothalamus produces LHRH, you're back in business, especially if you use Clomid. You'll get a very fast recovery. You'll be back to normal in less than a week. But, if you go beyond that two-week point, the pituitary also goes into a state of suppression. And from that point, it can take many weeks to get back to normal.
That's a little hard for me to chew... So if i took 40mg of M1T a day for 2 weeks, I would be less suppressed than if I had run 10mg for 3 weeks? Any studies for this 2 week number? It can't be exactly 14 days.
Finding a real SERM is easy. If you can't find pills just settle with the liquid research stuff.So basically, a good call of action would be:
10/20/20 - if i feel good and sides are low, do one more week of 20? Thats initially how i planned on running it..
Trouble is, i dont know a legit place to get a SERM... still working on that, as i DONT wanna OTC PCT m-drol. Id feel better with a SERM.
I'd probably do (2-on/2-3 off) * 3 + (4-6 week break), and then repeat. I'd also use Nolva or Clomid during the entire "off" between cycles. Recovery should be much faster if ending the cycle within 2 weeks than if the cycle were extended to 3-4 weeks as at that point the pituitary should be immediately ready to respond to LHRH. Around 3 weeks or so, the pituitary will sort of 'go to sleep', or be in a state of suppression. This is why if you were going to do 3 weeks, you might as well do 4 as the recovery will be about the same. Obviously I'm not a doctor and I'm just regurgitating what people much more knowledgeable than I have written.
Here is a quote from Bill Roberts, who probably has more AAS knowledge than nearly all of all the AAS internet forum 'gurus' combined:
Sure, your gains will be less than with 3+ week cycles, but your recovery (at least as far as HTPA is concerned) should be MUCH faster, which means less waiting time between cycles, which means way more cycles per year without risking longterm HPTA function. All the logs I've read with people running that protocol have been positive, and recovery is so fast that most people also seem to continue to make gains during the 2-4 week "off" period. It's also nice if you don't want to experience a full-blown post cycle "crash".
I've done a LOT of research on it, read many logs, read every article and forum post I could find, and asked Bill Roberts questions directly to fill in the gaps. Now, I will be running my fist series shortly and am looking forward to it.
Just my $.02.

Id prefer pills... The liquid research stuff seems kinda sketch to me. Not to mention liquids a pain in the ass to deal with, let alone bring somewhere.
So you'd rather run OTC crap?
Is that what i said? :twak:

How is the liquid stuff more sketchy? Pharma grade tabs of any kind probably have way more knockoffs floating around, and most sources for them are overseas pharmacies... Research products are produced in the good ol USA as far as I know and they are sold legally so good product gets sold... My rat hasn't had any problems.
And when it comes to pills vs. liquid, I'll take liquids any day. Liquids are easier to dose. Simple as that. What if i don't want to take a tab, i just want 2/3 of a tab? That's a pain to cut up. But it's really easy to dose any fraction of a mL with an oral dropper.
Bring it somewhere, liquids are simple, you can dilute however much you want into a water bottle and sip that accordingly, you can squirt the liquid onto food like say a piece of bread and eat it later... No one would know... It can be much more stealthy than popping tabs.
