I finished a 6 week cycle about 10 weeks ago, my first cycle (sus 250/wk & winstrol 50mg/day)
Gained 15 pounds, ripped... best I've ever looked (and felt)
anyways, recovery sucked (clomid, then switched to aromasin)
took me about 8 weeks to fully recover, i was a wreck probably due to the clomid, and I started smoking again after 2 years away from it.)
anyways, so i've quit smoking and am 2 weeks back in the gym after being away for about 6 weeks.
i've kept maybe 1/3 of my strength gains, but all my size and weight are gone, and i returned to precycle bf%.
I've got my routine down, relatively simple somewhat based on 3x5 & 5x5, focused on compound movements.
I am an ectomorph, 5'8", 24 y/o, weight is currently 155 pounds @ 10% bf, i know i shouldn't have started at such a low weight but anyways i did, I want to get to my natural potential w/o gear before i attempt to use it again if I ever do.
honestly I just want to get where I was at during that cycle (170 @ 8-9% bf) naturally. So i figure i need to bulk to about 180-185 then cut.
I am currently eating 3000-3250 cals (tracked on fitday) with a Macro split of 40/30/30 carbs/fat/pro. i dont worry too much about nutrient timing eating clean or anything like that, i mean i try to do it when possible but i have a life so it's not always possible to do it perfectly.
anyways, how much weight can i expect to gain per week (i never go under 3k cals)...? I do limited cardio (15min 3x/week) just to feel slightly fit.
any advice for doing it natty before going back to gear?? sorry i know this is probably the wrong forum but people pay the most attention here.
