What's wrong with me?

[caveman13]

Ok so I'm 21 and did my first cycle last fall. It was a test cyp only cycle at 400mg every week for 10 weeks. I put on about 20lbs and my bench went up more than 50 lbs. I did proper pct and everything, got acne from it and felt all depressed. Now, it's been 5 weeks since the end of my PCT and i'm still gettin smaller and weaker? I am eating like a madman still. How long is this going to continue? i thought once you were done with pct you would keep the gains you got from your cycle? Any input would be great.

your always gonna lose some of what you gained on your cycle.

What was your pct. Make sure not to be training as hard as you were while on gear too because you'll probably be overtraining since your body doesn't have all testosterone to keep up like it did while on juice.

what did your pct look like? just bc a certain form of pct works for one, it may not necessarily work for the next. i can name many types of pct. it all depends on your body. you'll be the only one that can figure what works best for you. oh and have you ever thought you may be overtraining? your body can't handle the training load as if you were chemically enhanced

[Swifto]

Like above, what did your PCT consist of?

[caveman13]

pct consisted of nolva only, i took 75mg ed for a week, 50mg ed for a week, and then 25mg ed for 2 weeks
and i'm not over training, at leats i'm pretty sure i'm not, i dont do as much as i did while on the juice. I'm not sure if my test levels are too low or what. I have nolva on hand, should i take 25mg ed for a week and see if anything happens?

well many are gonna say thats a big part of your problem right there. Novla helps with the estrogen but it doenst help to restore your natural test levels. I think this is yourproblem.

[MatrixGuy]

It's probably your diet which is the problem. How many cals/pro/carb are you consuming?

i have read numerous threads claiming that nolva does restore natural test levels, anyone else read these? i heard it was even prefered over clomid, which is why i did what i did

[caveman13]

my diet is the same as it was when on test, probably close to 6000 calories a day, and close to 200g of protein

I use clomid + nolva + ldex. Also do about 3.5 grams of tribulus daily. I come out of it like a champ. Usually I lose size and strength if I get sick for a few weeks and miss out of proper diet and workouts. This winter had a sinus infection for 1 month straight, felt better for a week and then caught another cold for 3 more weeks. Damn people in the office spreading crap around. Now I have a long road back. Amazing what 2 months off can do to you.

There are reports of this...I read the same posts and research, however, to be safe I am planning on using clomid as well for my PCT...as well as 2.5-3g of trib ED.
