PCT and age

[readyornott]

Does age matter regarding PCT? Several articles that I've read state that PCT isn't necessary for older men, true?

However, If necessary, does PCT differ in older men as compared to younger?

I'm 46
6'
220

The following is the cycle that I am considering.

12 week Cycle:
Test C 500mg per week split/pins (1-12)
EQ 400mg per week split/pins (1-12)
Oxy 100mg daily 50/50 split AM/PM

AI:
Arimidex .5mg EOD
HCG 1000iu weekly 500iu/Sun & 500iuWed

PCT:
Nolva
Clomid

Any thoughts and/or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I've been on Doctor prescribed TRT for 2 months. (Test C 0.5ml once every 3 weeks). So far I haven't noticed any improvements. Zero energy gains. Zero sex drive.

It won't be necessary if you're on trt, otherwise why wouldn't it be necessary?

Robalo,
I edited my initial post. I am indeed currently on TRT. So, does that mean I need zero PCT? No Nolva? No Clomid? And, what about the AI: HCG and Arimidex, are those affected by age?

Thanks, Bro

After a cycle regardless of age It's absolutely neccassary, unless as Robalo said your on trt...sure it's harder to recover as a guy gets older, your body isn't producing nearly as much Testerone as in your 20's. Why lotta guys are crusing or on trt.

 

[Robalo]

That's correct. You don't need pct. Are you using HCG on your TRT? If not, you don't have to use it either on or off cycle and arimidex you only can only know for sure with blood tests but i don't think it's affected by age (my opinion and experience only, i'm 40yo)

 

[readyornott]

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know for sure whether or not I should take the Arimidex while on cycle at my age (46)?

On cycle you have to control estrogen, no mather what age you are. It's up to you to know if you need adex or not, some people do and some don't. I always need an AI on cycle, aromasin or adex. At least have it on hand.
