I agree with what dawg said. but in the 5-6 cycles i've done, i've always lost approx. 5 lbs afterward, probably due to bloat (my bp is always higher on than off). might also be lower motivation (knowing you're not gonna grow like when ur on) so u don't push as hard in workouts, nor do you have the recuperative abilities you had while on, to pack on the muscle. my two cents...
