Time on=Time off

Is pct included in time off a cycle?

 

[ORACLE]

Your PCT is considered Time off a Cycle / Post Cycle Therapy

This might seem like a dumb question but here it goes anyways..

Is PCT necassary if you wanted to continue with a new cycle about a month after the last one? Know you should wait longer than that before going on cycle again, but have to ask..

Actually, PCT is considered time on from all the readings I have seen on the subject. The belief is that you need to allow your system to recover naturally without any chemicals during the time off. If you are on PCT, you are still suppressing your estrogen.

Absolutely correct.

you should consider that time on, but it isnt going to kill you if you don't. Try to get in the habit of taking a few weeks longer off than time off.

PCT is considered time off because you start the PCT "after" your cycle has ended. The terminalogy "post" states the word meaning after. One can then believe that it means After Cycle Therapy. Yes your are trying at that point in time to revover your bodies natural testosterone's, but in order to do that you have to wait for the testosterone levels currently in your body to decrease and at that point in time your body would be "off" cycle so it would be then safe to start taking clomid or nolvadex.

Yes you are right in that "Post" means after. But during your PCT, you are still putting a chemical into your body that is changing the way your body naturally works. That is why PCT is considered time on according to this theory and should be added into the time you consider yourself "On." Your body needs time to clear ALL chemicals from itself and begin to function on its own. The best way to make sure this has happened is to go to the doctor and have a blood test. A visit to the doctor can prove this theory to be either total BS, or be right on the money. Each person is different.

Example of time on= time off theory:
It's like this......a 10 week cycle, + 2 week wait to start PCT, + 3 weeks of PCT = 15 weeks.

I understand your point on how your "pictured" the cycle breakdown it does make more sense looking at it that way. But i'm still at the contrary of what your saying and i'm basing this because of some literature that i have read. Hmmm...i'll just do a little bit more research

If you have some literature, please post it. All I have ever read or seen is that to always include PCT into the "Time on." I would love to read something to the contrary.
