Safe to say I gained xx amount of pounds? I know I will lose some weight afterwards but at what point in time are you guys leveling off and staying at a steady weight? I ran test e for 12 weeks last pin was 3 weeks ago today. Currently on PCT. This was my first cycle. 37 years old training for the last 10 years 5x a week 5'7" started at 154 lb bf about 10-12% ended up at 169 lb 5 days after last pin.......30 days have past now and I'm at 167 lb. Had very little bloat on my stomach none on my face and only sides were night sweats and waking up every other hour while sleeping at night.
 
Guesstimating body fat percentages really doesn't work. If you're determined to know how well you did with lean mass, you need to perform either a bodpod assessment or dexa scan pre cycle and post cycle. That will give you as accurate of a number as possible. After that, you can perform the same test again every few months to see how well you're retaining your gains. Otherwise, you'd be wasting your time with guesstimates.

To directly answer your question, there isn't a set time where you can confirm permanent retention. Too many factors are involved. You just need to eat and train sufficiently to retain what you have. Permanent retention is a lifestyle, not a time span.
 
Like I said I've been working out for 10 years so I do follow a "lifestyle" just curious at what point in time I can say I've kept xx amount of point from my cycle that's all. I know what I need to do for retention.
 
At this point you've kept everything. The only things you don't "keep" from your cycle are water accumulation which goes away after a few weeks.

That's inpossible to answer.
 
Test and deca are killer. Don't forget an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) like aromasin and (for me at least) the caber for the deca prolactin. My prolactin rose like a missle during my last cycle: 600 test and 400 deca. Good luck brother!

That's exactly what I'm going to take. Only 500 test and 300 deca. What Pct did you do DD55? How many weeks you suggest?
