Awesome information thanks I've never heard of priming and the reason I am opting for the short cycles is because apparently my shutdowns are horrible I mean tremors and panic attacks when I come off the test and that was after 10 weeks so I figure if I can get the most out of 4 weeks I can avoid shutdown and still see those gains

I would save the HCG.
The only time I run it On-Cycle, is if I'm experiencing Testicular Atrophy, then I'll run 250 Iu's twice a week for a couple weeks.
Other than that, on a Harsh Cycle, I run it in-between the end of my cycle and the start of PCT.
That's usually again just 2 Weeks, cause I'm running Longer Esters.
Don't like running it throughout the Cycle, as it will Desensitize the Leydig Cells.
Leydig Cells produce Testosterone in the presence of Luteinizing Hormone.

Save it. Only use hcg during cycle!

I agree.

If you are injecting testosterone every 7 days on day 5 inject 250mcg of HGC and again on day 6. Dr. Crisler, who is a specialist in this area says higher doses overly stimulate testicular aromatase, which inappropriately raises estrogen levels, and brings on the detrimental effects of same. It also causes Leydig cell desensitization to LH, and we are therefore inducing primary hypogonadism while perhaps treating secondary hypogonadism. If you are taking something like testosterone undeconate, do the same dosing except on Wednesday and Saturday every week.

Good post! And hcg will suppress during PCT. Sure u will feel better fasted but it's from hcg that sends neg feedback prolongs real recovery
