Keeping Your Muscles Post-Cycle

A popular debate in steroid circles is to debate the superiority of Nolvadex over Clomid, and vice-versa. Both are useful for keeping muscle post-cycle as part of a good post-cycle-therapy (PCT) regimen. Both are classified as SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators). Both are wildly popular in the bodybuilding world. Availability always trumps superiority as well. Both are viable options for bodybuilders and powerlifters coming off a cycle attempting to offset the 'crash' that accompanies ending a cycle. With both options on the table, let's see which of these anti-estrogens is preferable, and why.

Gyno

Nolvadex is superior to Clomid in controlling Gynecomastia. For this reason alone, many people who suffer from Gynecomastia often select Nolvadex. If you have never suffered from gyno, despite numerous cycles, this factor might not weigh into your decision-making. However, since the point of SERMs is gyno prevention, Nolvadex might be preferable anyway, to prevent future growth in the nipple region.



Cholesterol

Nolvadex wins this battle again over Clomid. Nolvadex works to improve HDL levels in the body, which many refer to as the "good" cholesterol. Clomid has no effect.

Testosterone levels

Again, Nolvadex wins in this case too. Testosterone levels rise when subjects use Nolvadex. Again, Clomid does not have this effect. Nolvadex can interfere with the body's 'reset" or own testosterone production. If restarting that is the goal, Clomid might be the better option here.

Price

Nolvadex is about three times cheaper than Clomid. A 20 mg Nolvadex is about equal to 150 mg of Clomid (three doses of 50 mg). Again, Nolvadex wins out.

Long-term use

Studies have shown that Clomid contributes to the pituitary gland becoming slightly desensitized to certain hormones as a result of use. Nolvadex actually raises hormone sensitivity in the pituitary gland in a minimal manner. Again, Nolvadex wins here, despite the minimal change.

Bottom line: It depends.

If you've never suffered from gyno and you wish to let your body's natural testosterone levels return after a cycle, Clomid is the better option. If you're in the majority, and you fear or suffer from gyno, and if you are dependent upon synthetic testosterone, then you will find Nolvadex is your best option. Most people do not have unlimited access to steroids, and will have to use whatever is available to them. Use the information above to make the best choice when selecting a SERM, and always remember to take your specific individual needs into account over what is "generally accepted" by most.
