Minimizing the post cycle rebound effect and maximizing muscle retention is always a battle for steroid/prohormone users. Taking synthetic forms of testosterone will shut off natural testosterone production and raise estrogen levels and can be menacing if not kept in check post cycle.
At the end of a cycle people will usually supplement with anti-estrogens and natural testosterone boosters to combat the post cycle hormone rebound effect. Most prohormone/steroid users will lose much of the muscle gained during the cycle even if these precautions are made.
One thing that you must take into account is that while on a prohormone/steroid your body down regulates the androgen receptor sensitivity due to the copious amount of androgen circulating the blood stream. This is done in an effort to keep homeostasis, or a balance in hormone activity. When a prohormone/steroid is discontinued the body is making little to no testosterone and even if it did the androgens would not be able to bind to the receptors resulting in fatigue and muscle atrophy. This is why smart prohormone/steroid users utilize the bridging method.
This is done after a heavier prohormone/steroid is used and before the post cycle therapy. The idea is that if a milder anabolic that has less of an effect on the HPTA axis is taken the last week of the heavier anabolic and then run for two weeks by itself, the body’s natural hormone systems and androgen receptor sensitivity will have more of a chance to recover before the anti-estrogens and test boosters are intoduced. This will allow maximal muscle retention post cycle. SSL Win-E is perfect for bridging.
