Loss in Bench press after cycle

[danymal04]

yeah, deloading is correct, thats how all college programs are set up... guys want to do the most they can every week though.. cause we get workout sheets and they look at them and are like shit, i can do way more than this... so they do... but what they don't understand is you donn't gain as good like that. You gain by maxing, deloading, working up heavier every week, then real heavy, than start the process over... workouts out pretty good in gaining since I've been off have hit 260x5 which isn't bad for me at 200...even though there are guys a lot stronger.. i just do my thing.. when i was on, i was doing 275x5.. but i'll get back up there no doubt..

It happens 2 everyone thats y a lot of people go back on 2 soon.Loss of strength & size. U just have 2 deal with that fact ur never as good off than u r on

Depends on your diet and your routine.

I am off completely now. Have been for 12 weeks or better. I just put up 430 lbs. Thats my personal best.

Vary your routine. EAT.

your always going to loses some strenth after a cycle, but to say its not long lasting, thats misleading. even if you get a little weaker post cycle your still stronger than you would have been.

MF, why do you say every 5 weeks?

MM, you planned to deload even if your CNS wasn't completely taxed?


goddamn i feel like shit. lol. my CNS better thank me by mid-week deload.

not a 'planned' deload, just we are having a mini meet next sunday, so i have this whole week 'off'....only active recovery this week...but i will going to MAX + Failure this sunday....

Exactly!! Did you do 300 before you did this last cycle? If not then you gained. If you did then you're not eating right and your PCT needs to be tweaked.

If you are all natural should the deloading schedule change at all? Like every 6 weeks...or 3 weeks...or what? And should deloading correspond with a change in diet at all?

Natty or not...

IMO it shouldn't be planned.

UNLESS you have a powerlifting comp or something planned like MM107 does.

I'm 8 weeks into pushing hard and overtraining/CNS burnout hit me like a ton of bricks... time for a deload. You'll know when you need one, you'll feel like crap and your workouts will suck ass (in a nut shell).

Diet is user dependent. Mine won't vary much, i'm on a cutting diet and will stick to the same plan.

Sounds good. I've been hitting it extremely hard since new years (not a new years resolutioner...just the way it worked out) and still going strong. We will see how this week goes....and maybe start the deload next week.

just listen to your body it will tell you when to back off
