Does this make sense?

A little background first. I've been working out for 26 years. I take 300 mgs of test every week year round. Recently I bumped it up to 750-1000 mgs for 10 weeks. I have been back to regular dosage for 3 1/2 weeks now, but I'm continuing to get stronger. I was stronger than ever before tonight in the bicep curl. I would think I would have been stronger during the cycle and not 3 1/2 weeks after.

Got me as to why...

test is in your system for a long time. maybe you peaked just now.

depending on ester and injection bolus size as well as site, you may still be seeing very significant T levels. Also at this point you may have greater CNS adaption.

note- strength is more correlated with CNS than muscle size.

besides switching excercises, what are other good options to keep the CNS stimulated? drop sets? negatives? electroconvulsion therapy?

perhaps maybe your form has changed slightly?
hows your strength in the compound moves since curls are not indicative of strength?

it could be half mental too..

i know after a cycle i am busting my ass trying to hold on to every ounce of muscle i gained..

Interesting. Explain this please. What is injection bolus? and why does the injection site have anything to do with results?

By injection bolus and site, he means if you injected a larger amount, say 3cc's, in a smaller muscle group like delts, it would take much longer to disperse than say, 2cc's in the glute. So, your test levels would stay elevated longer than you thought and you may still have very superphysiological levels.

Ah. Thank you very much. I've always just injected in the ass. Any advantage to injecting in the delts? Test would stay in system in longer, but not as much would be circulating at one time?

I think your right, before my first cycle all the people I talked to said yeah its great till the "crash" so I was determined not to be like them and after my cycle for about 3 months i got stronger in most of my major lifts like bench and squat im talkin like 2 or 3 extra reps.

 

[BOOEY]

Has your diet changed, maybe more sleep? Lol, it's not impossible to get stronger when "off"

Why do you juice all year long??????

That doesn't make any sense. Muscle is muscle. It doesn't matter where you inject it. 3 CC's will disipate the same whether you shoot it in your delt or glute. I know this b/c I once injected some prop and EQ in my delt and it swelled up like a bitch. The pain was bad and I thought that I had an abcess. I went to the ER and they did an ultrasound on it. It was pretty cool to see the oil in the muscle and how your muscle fibers move. Anyway I asked the doc if it was b/c I shot it in the delt. She said no. It doesn't matter where you shoot it. Once it's in the muscle it should dissipate. I told her that I shot 3 CC's. She said that it wasn't infected but gave me some antibiotics just in case. She didn't know why it swelled up. I think that it was from that batch of prop having too much BA. Since everytime I shot that lot # after that I would get swelling. Not as bad as the delt, but still more than usual. I had to cut my cycle short...
