I really need some help here.............
1st cycle ran, 42 years young, 6' 219 lbs.
I ran sustanon at 500mg a week, deca at 400mg, 15 weeks total. stopped the deca 2 weeks early, ran hcg at the end of my cycle. I shot for a recomp, took in 3140 calories a day, my weight shot up to 227 lbs and started around 220. 7 lbs doesnt sound like much, but after all of the fat loss i looked like i gained 20-25 lbs of muscle. Muscles were thick, round and was questioned by many if i was "on". I call it a VERY successful cycle. Pct went great, clomid, nolva, and some mucuna pruriens. Now im 6 weeks and some change past my last pin and im losing weight by the day. I upped my calories to 3500 a day, 300+ grams of protein and still intense in the gym. Still repping 315 on bench, strength has stayed but muscle is falling off.
im only down 8 lbs at the moment, but the mirror says its 20+.....ive lost so much thickness and "roundness", my traps were up to my ears, they have faded to nothing. i feel like im back to me but even smaller.........
my questions are........maybe i not have enough natural test to recover and retain muscle because of my age? ... maybe seek trt?
is this normal with steroids? i have read a ton of threads with people losing gains, but i chalked it up to them not having the knowledge of proper pct?
or will some of this muscle naturally come back in time? maybe this is a "lag" period and i will thicken back up?
sex drive is back, balls are as big as ever, i feel great?????? is this the steroid game? if so, i think im done playing this game.
