1test/4derm

[slydeflex]

Hi, I am in my 5th week of what started out as 1ad/4derm cycle and have been finishing off the last 2 weeks with big1/4derm. I have been seeing incredible strength gains for e.g. when I first started I could only benchpress 225 for 4 reps max. Now I am doing 3 sets of 225 doing 9,8,7 reps. My squat also has gone to 315 for 6 reps. I am 43yr old and this is my first ph cycle. I have not had much bad side effects except for some extra pimples coming out, which has been less since I started taking b5. I have not been weighing myself so I do not know how much weight I have gained, however, I have gotten leaner and have seemed to put on more muscle. what I wanted to know is how much of this increase in strength can I expect to keep? I have novla for pct and will also be combining it with metacort to lower cortisal. I would like to hear from others with more experience about how to maintain as much gains as possible. I know that once off the cycle I will not have the strength gains that I was seeing, however, will I go back to only repping 225 for 4 reps or will it even out to somewhere in between?

Should be somewhere in between, you really shouldn't lose too much at all. Lower total volume and intensity. What kind of calories did you take in while on? Make sure you are eating above maintenance calories for at least a couple weeks when you come off, don't try to cut. Good luck.

thank you I will try to keep calories beyond maintenance. I really was not keeping track of my calories, however, I was having 6-7 meals a day.
