How to keep your gains

[fame126]

Im going to start my second epi cycle of 4 weeks 20/30/40/40. My first time was 20/20/30/40 and saw some overall good gains but lost it very quickly. Was it due to poor diet? Or not supplementing correctly? Dont wanna make the same mistake twice. Thanks for any info u can provide

From I heard is you gotta cycle epi atleast 6weeks coz gain start coming at 4th week...maybe that can be a reason

 

[Roniboney]

Epi should be 5-6 weeks

did you do a good pct?Did you adjust your training to lifting heavier than when on cycle?Did you lower your calorie intake?Did you raise your intake?

There are so many variables here man.

Most likey poor diet. The number 1 noob mistake is forgetting that in order to maintain the new mass you must eat enough day in and day out to retain it. Your caloric needs are higher after a cycle if u gained mass

So true and can be difficult to do... I came off my test cycle and nose dived a few kg's within a week even though I did up my cals as a part of my PCT plan. I think this is where experience and really knowing your body comes into play in a big way.

For Epi it's best to run for 6 weeks. Also to keep gains u need to keep diet in check and depending on gain during cycle try to consume a little more cals than while on cycle. For example: I did a Epi cycle back in jan and it was a recomp. Cals were about 2400 and did cardio 4 times per week. Now during cycle u can cut cardio to two times per week or go less intense and bump up cals by 200 cals or so. There's different ways to go about it. I'm going for another Epi cycle in may.

looks like you need to work on your pct skills
