FREEBeginner4 weeks
BlastCoach Team
Overview
This is the classic post-cycle therapy protocol suitable for most testosterone-based cycles. It uses a combination of Nolvadex (Tamoxifen) and Clomid (Clomiphene) to restore natural testosterone production after a cycle. The protocol is designed to be straightforward and effective for cycles of 12 weeks or less with mild to moderate suppression.
Required Compounds
Nolvadex (Tamoxifen)40/40/20/20 mg/day
Clomid (Clomiphene)50/50/25/25 mg/day
Schedule
week: 1-2
nolvadex: 40mg/day
clomid: 50mg/day
notes: Start 2 weeks after last injection (if using long esters)
week: 3-4
nolvadex: 20mg/day
clomid: 25mg/day
notes: Taper down, monitor for sides

⚠️ What to Watch For
- Do not start PCT until compounds have cleared (wait 2 weeks for long esters, 3 days for short esters)
- Vision sides from Clomid are rare but discontinue immediately if experienced
- Mood swings are common during PCT - this is temporary
- Avoid heavy training PRs during PCT - focus on maintenance
❌ Common Mistakes
- Starting PCT too early before compounds have cleared
- Running PCT for too short a duration
- Skipping bloodwork to confirm recovery
- Jumping back on cycle before full recovery
- Using HCG during PCT instead of before it
