Loss of Strength while on test

[capitalT]

I am on the 8th week of a simple sust(1G/week)/dbol(30mg/day) cycle. Wasn't meant to be a big cycle just a mild one.

This is the third cycle that I have been on and notice a trend in all my cycles...a loss of strength.

I start out the first bit strong but by week 5 I start losing strength....dropping to below cycle levels by about 10lbs on most upper body excercises. But size continues to increase...the muscle mass that is.

After the cycle is through strength takes a huge ass jump to way over the pre cycle amounts.

By the way calories, protein all are high.

Any thoughts on why this happens? Has any one else had this happen to them?

your joking right?

If your gear is real the only thing that I can think of is that even though you are on gear, you are over training.

very strange. dont know what to say to that one. kinda sux, though, loosing strength 1/2 way through your cycle?

I've actually noticed that before and hated my cycle because of it. I did aratest and dbol. Ara at 750mg weeks 1-2, 500mg week3-8. Dbol 35mg week1-3, 30mg week 4.

About half way through not only my strength seemed to decrease, but also my motivation and desire to workout and hit the gym. I absolutely hated that cycle. Also joints absolutely killed me and bloating sucks.

I cant explain why it happened, quite strange.

What you described sounds like what I am going through...What did you use on your next cycle to avoid it?

I am with Liftsiron on this one......there must be something wrong with the way you train.

Well for one I figured out that bulking cycles are not what I want to do and they arent going to help me reach my goals. So from then forward I told myself I would stay only with anabolics like primo, winn, anavar, ect.

Funny, right now I'm on a test cycle, but much lighter doses. I'm using 1amp sus every 5th day along with .5mg EOD arimidex and adipokinetix for the first 5 weeks. My objective is to harden and tighten up and drop bodyfat. I just finished week 3 and its not too bad so far.

that test/dbol cycle I did was my second cycle and I think I overdid it for being so 'fresh'. 1grm test and 30mg dbol is hardly a mild cycle, maybe its too much for you, I dont know. I think that my cycle made me too tired all the time and drained my energy, and with that, killed my intensity and motivation in the gym. I was sitting about 23lbs heavier towards the end, carrying alot of extra weight around all of a sudden surely must put a severe drain on energy levels. That is my reasoning.

throw some fina in there, your strenght will go up

so u were serious bout this. sorry bro just thought someone was clowning around. yeah i agree with liftsiron on this one. only thing i can think of

 

[deez]

sup bro. yea i think you are overtraining also. I had the exact same thing happen to me on my last cycle a month ago. CUt back on your training, go hard but dont kill your muscles. I ligthened my load and started noticing my weight coming up and stregth returning. I still wish i knew why i dont grow very much at the end of my cycle of dbol/test. ? mYbe it was my gear. Very unhappy with ttokkyo testanon. Peace
