Training schedule/type of training during PCT

[JohnnyRupple]

So I'm almost through my first cycle and was wondering what type of schedule I should keep during PCT. Stay the same course and intensity or back off a bit? I want to keep as much of the gains I've made as possible obviously. Any insight would be appreciated.

You definetly DO NOT want to back off during pct if you want to keep your gains.

Maintain the same intensity in the gym (weight on the bar) but slightly lower the volume & frequency to give your body more time to recover.
For frequency - no more than 2-4 days in the gym per week.

Post up your training split so we can see the volume involved, since this is a bit more tricky to calculate.

Ok good to know. My training schedule varies based on time and my work hours but for the most part I have the following

Monday: chest, tris & abs

Tuesday: back, biceps, forearms

Wednesday: cardio

Thursday: legs, calves

Friday: shoulders, traps

Saturday: active rest

Sunday: rest

I've been changing my sets and reps throughout the cycle but have been doing a lot of heavy sets, lower reps(6-8), for strength while on cycle.

Your split looks fine when combined with heavy sets - just make sure to control volume.
Generally, 2-3 sets per exercise is more than enough to maintain muscle during pct.

i follow a slightly different approach.. take your caloric intake higher... and though you lower volume i recommend you lift heavier..

further more.. you want to up your saturated fats... take 30mg zince twice a day.. and get your hands on some DAA...
