Losing Muscle Or Temporary Size/strength Loss
i did a pheramax cycle a couple months ago and went from 239-256 and it was awsome. i then ate like crazy of course through post cycle therapy and waited a month to start cutting but for the first two weeks all i did was drop cals a bit. then 6 weeks after post cycle therapy i started an all out cut.
this included 20 minutes of HIIT cardio 4-5 days a week either first thing in the morning or after lifting. (i'm hitting every bodypart once a week).
anyways my strength has gone way down. i was reping 275 bench 5x5 and now 225 5x5 is hard. i've been cutting for a month now hard and i have def lost fat tho. squats went from 330 5x5 to 225 5x8 (probly could do a little more but doesnt feel safe)
diet is as follows: 6 meals a day. i take in 60 grams of protein through whey, nonfat cottage cheese, egg whites, tuna and 25 grams of carbs through whole grain pasta, rice, bread and oatmeal. for the last meal of the day all i have is nonfat cottage cheese. i'm aslo taking a multi, fish oil, and glutamine. i also look much smaller. is this just temporary from glycogen and water loss or what?
