Some advice please

[sweetypetey]

I am now six weeks out of my first cycle. I ran test 400 for 10 wks. I was 225 at my peak this summer and am currently a solid 200. Can someone please explain this, even though i have kept 80 to 90% of my strenght gains. Thanks for ur help.

Water-weight. Did you use Clomid or HCG post cycle?

Sure, you lost weight. Much, if not most of it was probably water. Some of it may have been muscle.

How much did you weigh before the cycle? Where was your fat % before, durring, and after your peak weight? How was you recovery?


Beyond the lose of a good deal of water and likely some muscle, to give a more accurate analysis requires this information - and more. What were hormone levels before, during, at peak, post-cycle, and now? How did that related to your training and eating and adaptation?

How far do you want to go? Back to water, I peed out about 18 pounds after my last cycle.

When i started i was 200. I did not include any post cycle, but the thing i dont understand is that i still lift the same as when i was on.

You should've done more research and studying before you ran your cycle. I'd go as far to say that you really weren't ready in that aspect. Some was water, maybe a lot as I doubt their was Nolva or L-dex in there at all. Some was muscle loss. Be glad you still retained good strength and look solid at least. Did you change up your diet or routine?

I would assume that the AAS cycle pushed you through a strength plateau, at which you may have been stuck prior its' use.

As far as diet and routine no i did not change much at all. When I came off I increased my calories (clean ones). I concentrate on high weights and low reps and I also include drop sets, which I have found to be very effecitve. Maybe I needed to do more research, but I felt that I was capable of handeling this. I am starting my second cycle of test 400 and I am adding d bols. Let me know what u guys think.
