Posted on the SteroidFreaks forum but keen to hear member's thoughts on this one. I recently wrapped up a 6.5 months cycle. Keen to hear experience of anyone tagging peptides during the PCT recovery phase.

I'm 29 years old at 18% BF - can see the outlines of the abs but have the love handles. I weigh 160 - 165lbs depending on water consumption

Week 1 - 4 ate 2800 Calories on average (diet honestly was clean but poorly managed, ranging between 2000 to 3000 calories). Protein requirements met.
Week 5 - 20 ate 3000-4000 calories (gradually increasing until I lost the outline of the abs, then scaled back. Food was clean e.g. lean chicken
Week 21 to 27 ate at 2500 Calories (with protein requirements met)

Pre-cycle bloods, blood pressure is clear/normal except for elevated CK from weight training. On cycle bloods flagged Low HDL, High CK, Slightly high platelets, High progesterone, low LH/FSH, low SHBG, High Free Test and Test, consistent with actual gear unsurprisingly.

1-4500mg (2 doses of 250mg every 3.5days)
20mg/day
5- 20500mg

1mg/3.5 days
21-27500mg (2 doses of 250mg every 3.5days)
20mg/day
1mg/3.5 days

Original plan was a clomid and Nolva PCT after 2 weeks period, but I'm using HCG 500IU every 3 days for 4 weeks to prime the LH production in the testes. But does anyone have experience using CJC Ipamorelin at the same time to smoothen the landing after end of cycle?

CJC and Ipamorelin are not going to have any discernible effect on your cycle or PCT.

Could the CJC help with recovery/sleep and, maintaining muscle until the balls have a chance to recover test production?

I don’t think so. Save a lot of money and get a bottle of melatonin instead if you can’t fall asleep. Try the melt-under-your-tongue kind

If you want to take the stuff go ahead. But beyond a possible placebo effect, running it for a few weeks will do nothing.

Why does every one want to gobble orals at the beginning of a run ?

27 week cycle and you're still only 160 lbs?

You may have some other things to fix before you turn to drugs.

You're 160lbs and 18% body fat after a 6.5 month cycle? You really had no business starting a cycle. All you needed to do was eat and train.

When you weigh next to nothing, you really don't need steroids to gain a significant amount in your first year. Food is enough for noobies.

I recommend you stop throwing drugs at your body. They are wasted on you at the moment and you don't understand what you're doing or why.

@Send0 I'm here to learn and take feedback on but my cycle has already stopped and I'm in PCT. So while it is from a place of care and concern, it is late.

As for understand what I'm doing/why... I ran the cycle because I wanted faster results. Specifically I wanted to hit gen potential faster, build bigger traps/delts all when I was in a period of stress and poor sleep. Clean diet, progressive overload /hypertrophy programming can't overcome a cortisol storm from stress and work but an anabolic cycle can.

The healthiest way is to fix sleeping patterns but I took the lazy way out/shortcut so now my challenge now is to keep it.

I'm at 160lbs and 18% because I didn't learn to eat properly (bulk) and when I did, I lost the abs so I changed the diet until I could see it again. Should've found a dietitian who could help with it but that was my mistake. Long story short, I knew what I wanted and that there were risks and I needed to manage it as much as possible. With due respect, it wasn't a decision to jump on gear to cover up piss poor diet and lack of training with the expectation that I'd swell up to Ronnie Coleman

That wasn't the best decision but it was to push through a plateau with PB in military press and deadlift.
