Maintaining gains after a steroid cycle requires strategic planning to prevent muscle loss and hormonal imbalance. Here's how:
Consistency in these areas will help you maintain your hard-earned gains post-cycle.
- Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT):
- Properly execute PCT to restore natural testosterone production, which is vital for maintaining muscle mass.
- Diet:
- Maintain a high-protein diet (1.5–2 grams of protein per pound of body weight) to support muscle repair.
- Gradually reduce calorie intake to maintenance levels to avoid fat gain while preserving muscle.
- Training:
- Focus on heavy compound lifts to retain strength and size.
- Avoid overtraining to prevent cortisol-induced muscle loss.
- Supplementation:
- Use creatine, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and natural testosterone boosters to support recovery.
- Rest and Recovery:
- Prioritize sleep and stress management to optimize hormonal balance.
- Monitor Progress:
- Regularly check body composition and adjust your training and nutrition as needed.
Consistency in these areas will help you maintain your hard-earned gains post-cycle.
