Keeping gains post cycle

[DIRTY LUKE]

is it possibel to keep a majority of your gains post cycle?

I did on my last cycle... actually went up in strength during the weeks and months after... so YES.

i'd say yes... i've gotten off a cycle that i gained 28lbs and haven't lost any of it yet (2wks) -- big surprise b/c i thought i'd lose some water weight but i've still been eating like a horse and thanksgiving weekend all i didd was eat and sleep (literally)

my strength has gone down some (which is kinda disheartening after feeling like superman in the weightroom) but you just gotta keep at it... last cycle i dropped some LB's and strength after i came off, but kept working and got my strength back to where it was at the peak of that cycle before starting a new one.

It all depends on the person. I finished up my clomid a few days ago and have been off cycle around 3 weeks. I've dropped 5lbs post cycle (up around 15) and my strength is about 90% of what it was during my cycle. My recovery time has gone up drastically but that was expected. I think that I could have kept my weight +/- 2lbs if I kept eating like I was. And the big bonus, my puffy nips that developed during my cycle are almost all gone. I'm definitely going to get 1/3 more clomid next time and keep some nolva on hand.
