What's It Like Coming Off Cycle?

[Chicken Legs]

EZstreet calm yourself. I've seen it myself!

Have you actually done a cycle?

Yep.

EZstreet: Calm down. You've obviously got some serious emotional issues.

And for the record, I never said that I didn't have any acne.

For you to make the claim that you know all about me and I don't know shit about myself is just plain dumb.

If you have a positive outlook and do things right most of the side effects of coming off are well within your control.

Anything other than pct, diet and training in check?

After my last cycle(10 week low dose test/deca) coming off wasnt so bad. Kinda wierd though that the whole acne thing didnt start until 3 or 4 weeks after my cycle.
No depression at all.
Intensity in the gym subsided a bit, but also relaxed on the protien consumption as well which made my breath smell better. Only lost 9lbs of the 24 I gained.
As Eric Idle once said... "Always look on the bright side of life."

What doses were you at? How much do you think was water weight?

The Cycle was a 10 weeks of Sustanon (sust) 250mg and deca 250mg ew.
It was my first cycle using injectables and the first cycle run in over 20 years. So in a sense it was my first cycle. I chose such a low dose because everywhere I read, the first cycle gives you the biggest gains with the least amount of juice if you are close to your natural potential.

"How much do you think was water weight?" Thats kid of a loaded question. If you think about it, what exactly is musclular hypertrophy?

So yeah, what I lost was probably all water.

Coming off isnt bad at all its a little depressing mentally just because your off the gear but physically I cant tell any difference and I do just fine in the gym.

BELIVE THAT.

i think it gets easier the more i do it ......the longer your on the harder it is for me....
i lose a little strenght and drive.....i have in the past lost a lot of mass .....but not lately......most of it for me is in my head .........sure you dont have the recovery ...
but if you lifted 300 lbs for six whilst on i dont see any reason you cant lift 300lbs for 4 when off.......

Definitely makes sense. I'm just trying to prepare myself as well as possible so I know what's happening when the cycles finally over.

Would creatine help maintain post-cycle size?

DEPRESSING...I was setting on the beach this weekend reflecting on how much bigger I used to be while on cycle.
