Maintenance questions
I am not trying to get bigger or cut up right now. I am happy after my first cycle and am kinda just taking it easy. I am not on any eating plan, just eating healthy (clean). My question is about lifting weights while in this "kickback mode". I don't want to loose anything that I'ver worked so hard for, but I feel that working the **** out of my muscles like I did when I was trying to get bigger is wearing me down. Should I lift the same amount of sets, 12-16 per body part, with light weight high reps, or should I lift heavy with less sets. Or should I drop the weight down a little and the sets down a little?
What are some of your maintenance routiens?
Should I lift light 3 weeks out of the month and super heavy one week of the month?
Some suggestions please??

I did clomid and am way past the point of being in the catabolic state. I have off for 4 months.

you should always lift heavy, IMO, if you're feeling run down, it's because you're overtraining, cut the number of sets, and frequency of workouts until you get to the point where you feel full of energy everyday and can't wait to get to the gym, listen to your body

intensity is a matter of opinion, i usually know when i've put everything i've got into a set when i am dizzy after the set, if i'm not at least a little f***ed up, i know i didn't completely exhaust myself, i do one set per bodypart per workout on a upper body/ lower body split

are you bulking or cutting, or just like me, doing nothing but trying to stay healthy?

it's irrelivent if you're cutting/bulking whatever, the object is to gain muscle, right? (btw i believe if you're not gaining, your losing) so, in order to gain muscle, you have to subject them to an overload to stimulate growth, next, you have to recover from that stimulus in order to grow, if you want to cut up, lift heavy and diet, if you want to bulk up, lift heavy and eat anything not nailed down or that fights back too much
