Using HCG throughout anabolic steroid cycles may be important for maintaining testicular volume and easing the transition back to natural recovery.

“you'd hopefully be on HCG to begin with to preserve testicular function but you'd be using HCG to preserve right these guys taking HCG the entire time they're on these other drugs to just maintain some testicular volume nowadays is becoming more understood that it's probably important but back in the day and even me I didn't do it because I was just told it doesn't matter you will just recover fine when you want to when you want to come off so you know I think more people are becoming aware though that that stimulating activity in the L cells is of reasonable importance almost certainly to retain and ease your transition back into recovery while you're on drugs”
