Thanks for your responses! Just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. Voodoo Lady- I feel the exact same way...zapped. But like you said, I just need to stick with it and work through it. Arioh, I haven't used creatine, although I am using glutamine. Do I need to switch?

Hi everyone....it has been almost four weeks since the end of my deca cycle. I am SO sore, my muscles and my joints, especially my shoulders. Does this happen when coming off a cycle? I also am very tired and seem to be lacking motivation. Was just wondering if this happened to anyone else...

It also put weight on me too. I am still trying to see what is water and what is muscle. I did a 7 week cycle and had great gains. Yes, it did increase my sex drive. I have been off for 3 weeks now and still have the strength I gained. I have also noticed a little bit of acne on the back, but I...

Don't worry about it. Just having encouragement is enough. Plus to know that everyone else has dealt with the bloat has made me feel better! Thanks to both you and Spatterson!

Hi there TxGirl- I am about mid thru my cycle. Well what is supposed to be a cycle. I go several months without a period. I get all the symptoms, but nothing else. How long did it take you to return to normal after your cycle?

I have another question....is it possible to drink too much water? Also, I know everyone is different, but how long has it taken shed the excess water and bloat after a cycle. Just curious...thanks!

Thanks, I will continue to do all of that. I just didn't expect to be as puffy as I am. I have gained 17lbs from March until now. It shocked me to say the least. I wouldn't mind the gain so much, but I can't even wear a belt because of the bloat. Thanks for the reply and I am going to continue...

I have posted a couple of time before regarding water and my deca cycle. I was being pretty optimistic about things, feeling good and now I have just crashed. I am in the middle of my second week off and I feel terrible. I feel huge for one and I think that leads to the feeling bad. I had great...

My ex husband had jaw surgery and was wired shut for 4 weeks. He would have milk shakes with ice cream and peanut butter. Protein shakes made with ice cream. He had some broths, but not too many. He wasn't able to get the sucking action so everything had to be really thin. Peanut butter, ice...

Glad you understand my pain :D Sounds great. I will add that in. Thanks for in info!!!

That makes sense to me...how long do you it for if you are on a machine or how many do you do if at the track. Unfortunately I am in Tx, so it is about to get hot here, so I will prob be on a machine for most of the summer. But for now I can get outside early in morning.

I have seen HIIT talked about alot. Exactly what is that? I do interval training on the treadmill. 5 min easy, increase and decrease speed for 2 min intervals and then easy 5 minute cooldown. There is a track by my house so I can do them there, but I don't know what to do:confused:

Thanks Mag! I was going to increase my cardio because that was a suggestion made by my man. Also, because of the water. But from what I have been told, dont! So I won't. Yes, I definitely worked hard to get gains and I don't want to lose them. So I am going to keep working hard to keep them. I...

I am going on my second week "off". I have still been working out hard and adding a little more cardio. How should I change that? I definitely like the more sleep part! But I don't want to lose anything either. I am pretty new to AS so I apologize if I seem "uneducated". I get most of my advice...

Ahhhh...too many names!!!! :D thanks again for everyone's input!
