my strength dropped

[ahmad1]

hello. im on test e 500/w and dbol 30. the end of first week my deadlift increased 10 lb. now im in the mid of week 2 my deadleft dropped 20 lb !!!!
any thoughts

 

[stevesmi]

means nothing

you really think you are going to set a PR every time you go to the gym? wrong!! in strength training you have to take a step back to move 2 steps forward sometimes

Hahaha this OP is hilarious. Some days you are stronger than other days. Much of that is mental. One deadlift session means absolutely nothing hahahaha

 

[ahmad1]

thanks guys

 

[RickRock13]

You will have ups and downs whether on cycle or not. All part of the game bro

It's very mental the 1st few days of a cycle, sometimes I think of competing in the WSM....then reality hits.

(it helps that there's a guy my gym thay looks like Nick Best. Puts it in perspective)

thanks guys

Just get back in there and pull some heavy weight this time!

By week 4 or 5 you will be posting PRs on here bro! I can't wait to see it.

Make sure diet and sleep are good and your not in an overtrained condition. I sometimes hit PR after a solid 2 weeks off.

Get some good night sleep and you'll be good lol

I agree with this. Sometimes a little rest goes a long way.

If that happened to me, I would have quit lifting all together.

How's your diet? You need to make sure you are eating enough for gains or they will never come

 

[ahmad1]

3000 calories. at least i get 100 g of protein. I weigh 180 lb

You need more protein that that. A minimum of 1g per pound of bodyweight (180g) but I would recommend going up to about 1.5g per pound (270g)

 

[ahmad1]

if i didnt eat enough protein. my strength wont increase ?

 

[RickRock13]

Protein is what builds and repair your muscle. If you don't eat enough protein, how do you expect to gain?

 

[ahmad1]

you are right. but for pure strength do i have to eat enough protein ?

 

[STTM]

you are right. but for pure strength do i have to eat enough protein ?

You need to eat enough protein to properly repair and build muscle fiber. This will effect muscle mass, strength gains, muscle recovery.. ect. You should shoot for at least 1g of protein per pound of body weight like Rick said.

 

[ahmad1]

im in week 3. So far, my weight increased 1.5 lb. is it normal ? or i should gain more weight on this cycle ?

You should have gained more by now in my opinion. I would thnk you would have gained more in just water weight by now. I don't believe you have gained anything positive at this point. If you are looking for strength gains, train hard, and give your body the fuel it needs that we discussed

 

[ahmad1]

maby it is a fake dbol. i use romanian dbol. ill just wait

 

[stevesmi]

dude you need to have your diet and training down BEFORE running steroids.

not asking these types of questions after you already started. its like getting into an airplane and flying it and then asking how to fly a plane. what you are doing is such a waste
