5% Rich Piana : Post Gear PCT Supplement

While the legendary bodybuilder Rich Piana may no longer be with us, his legend lives on in the name of his ever popular supplement line, 5% Nutrition.

As a brand, 5% Nutrition always epitomised the thoughts of Piana himself with no-nonsense formulas backed up by mega dosing ingredients if that was what the research showed was best. This helped to ensure that this was a brand for the hardcore bodybuilder wanting to see an appreciable improvement in their training efforts.

With their latest release, Post Gear, 5% Nutrition have turned their attention to something which Rich for sure could have done with using - a supplement designed to restore hormonal homeostasis at the conclusion of a steroid or prohormone cycle.

Preserving Gains the Smart Way

Anyone who runs a cycle of an anabolic/PH will see a reduction in their body's production of the male hormone testosterone as the body shuts down production in the presence of heightened androgens being delivered via the steroid/PH. This cannot be avoided and is par for the course for anyone who undertakes the usage of such compounds.

Once the cycle ends you lose the higher level of exogenous androgens while your body's own production of testosterone has by now become pitiful. Any serious gymgoer should know that a very low level of testosterone will be severely catabolic for their physique resulting in a rapid loss of muscle mass and strength. This is where you need to pay attention to the post cycle therapy needed.

Full Spectrum Recovery and Regeneration

It is for this situation that Post Gear will come in handy. It contains a slew of natural ingredients which have been variously shown to either:

• Boost testosterone directly (d-aspartic acid, longjack)
• Enhance free testosterone (divanil)
• Lower estrogen thus simultaneously increasing testosterone (DIM, acacetin and brassaiopsis)
• Support organ function (milk thistle and artichoke)
• Enhance muscle protein synthesis (laxogenin)

By containing these ingredients at a clinically effective dose, Post Gear goes most of the way towards ensuring the gains you make on cycle are maintained after your cycle. To be fully complete we would also pay attention to the importance of maintaining strength levels post cycle by utilising a high energy pre-workout such as Hydrazine and possibly something which spares muscle mass further/mitigates fat gain such as Lean Xtreme or Alchemy.

Nevertheless, Post Gear is a well designed supplement and a solid choice for those looking for a good all-in-one PCT supplement.
