I said that the degree of how much "gains" you keep after cycle depends on several factors including PCT, diet AND length of cycle.
I think you answered your own question bro.lol...I was just gonna say it could be a bunch of variables. Did you do a proper PCT, did you continue to TRAIN HEAVY? Ever come off and decide to do the 20 reps kind of thing? I learned the hard way. Send you into a state of catabolism faster than needto banning someone asking him for a source. Kicks the cortisol production into overtime.
Another thing is if you come of 1000mgs of test all of a sudden you will crash big time also.
I know its lost favor on the boards but that shit needs to be tapered down to 200mgs at least. 100mgs would even be better.
But as long as you take hcg and clomid your gains should remain as long as your not already at your GENETIC POTENTIAL.
