What to expect on pct in terms of strength and weight loss?

hey guys,

I ran my first cycle of Test E 500mgs a week for 12 week and Anavar 30mgs for the last 6 weeks. I put on 42 pounds and my bench press went up nearly 100 pounds. Needless to say Im very happy with the results.

Now Im about to start my PCT of nolva and clomid in 2 weeks and am concerned about my losses.

If i keep my diet and workout the same, what kind of losses in terms of weight and strength can I notice?

Also will these losses be very gradual or will it it hit pretty quick and then even out? I wish this cycle never had to end lol

(PS if its relevent im 6,3 252lb, 13.6% BF)
 
You'll lose the water weight you've gained from the test fairly quickly. However, I've never taken an ana Anavar (var) /test cycle, so I'm not sure if the Anavar (var) will lower water retention from the test, but I'm assuming you still have it since you said you've gained 42 lbs. I mean, you're bound to lose a set amount of weight being off cycle. You're body isn't being funneled with such an insane amount of test to maintain it. 42 lbs. is quite a bit. Great job bro!
 
did you run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on cycle? if so how much? i'm guessing not based on your weight gain. if thats the case i would expect to lose close to half of that 42 pounds in water weight. but don't sweat it... 20+ pounds of solid muscle is nothing to complain about.

expect to lose at least 50% of the weight u gained from the start of the cycle (this will be water and muscle atrophy)... as for strength u could lose at least that much (50%) as well

keep your chin up, u will still be better off than when u started ;)
 
o man i hope that not true china, i only ran about 350/week with 60mg Anavar (var) , i put about 70lbs on my bench and a good 30lbs on with a Aromatase inhibitor (AI). u think i will lose 50% off all thart :(
 
Yea its probably going to happen. You're never going to be as big as you are on gear as when you're not, just like you'll never be as big without natural test than if you did, which is why PCT is always important! and knowing is half the battle!
 
Hey really appreciate the responses bro's. I didn't use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on cycle tho i had one on hand in case of sides.

I plan on running another cycle in 3 months. Do you think I'll lose the 50% in this time? Also will it be very gradual or can I expect some serious frustration in the gym this month?

Wish i could cycle forever lol....
 
for strength after pct on first test cycle i lost about:
deadlift 50 lbs
squat 40 lbs
bench 40lbs

so not to bad
 
for strength after post cycle therapy (pct) on first test cycle i lost about:
deadlift 50 lbs
squat 40 lbs
bench 40lbs

so not to bad

Thanks for the response bro, interesting

how long did it take you to lose that? Like ten pounds a week? Did it go quicky at first then gradually?

Just do your post cycle therapy (pct) and see what happens. Everyone is a little different... I always keep my caloric intake up and my protein up after a bulk cycle to keep as much muscle as possible
 
Supplement yourself properly, make sure you continue to train and diet. Your coming off of steroids so train and eat like you are so your body adapts.

You Can. LOL. (its called TRT) but you shouldnt.
 
I typically always continue to make gains during and after pct.
But then again, I never use aromatizing compounds.
