Why does Bodybuilder run pct cycle

Pct cycle or post-cycle treatment refers to the protocol followed by the bodybuilder after completing the anabolic steroid (AAS) cycle.

Although AAS cycle can provide benefits such as amazing muscle growth, AAS can also take a toll on bodybuilder’s physical health, especially on testosterone levels. When bodybuilder takes AAS, these AAS drugs provide a large dose of testosterone to the body after they are release in the body. High levels of exogenous testosterone in the body trick the brain into thinking that the body has enough, gradually reducing or even stopping the production of endogenous testosterone. When the AAS cycle is complete, the intake of exogenous AAS is abruptly stop, and endogenous testosterone production does not keep up, leaving the body in a state of low testosterone.

This is when the brain realizes that testosterone levels are low and needs to increase its production. But the process is slow and can take months to years to restore normal testosterone levels. At the same time, the body is experiencing the effects of low testosterone levels, such as decreased energy and libido, and decreased muscle mass. A sudden drop in androgen levels can leave a full person with a sudden feeling of exhaustion and, in severe cases, psychological distress such as depression. Post-cycle therapy (pct) can help speed up this process and restore endogenous testosterone levels as quickly as possible because it increases gonadotropin production.

Clomid promotes the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which helps restore testosterone levels.

A large amount of AAS is aromatize by aromatase in the body and produces a large amount of estrogen, which will bring some estrogen side effects to the male bodybuilder, such as gynecomastia and water retention. SERM Clomid regulates estrogen levels to avoid possible estrogen side effects.

Male Bodybuilders must undergo a pct cycle after AAS cycle to restore their testosterone levels and eliminate estrogen side effects. A reasonable pct cycle is essential for male bodybuilder. Clomid will also be used with Nolvadex and hCG for pct cycle in bodybuilder.
