So at the end of your cycle you have built up excess cortisol and when the AAS is out of your system the cortisol runs throughout your system diminishing your gains.
This is why it is important to take clomid to regain natural test levels after your cycle is over to combat the high cortisol levels.
That's it in a nut shell I hope this helps you out some.
