I understand that some mass is lost even with proper diet, workout and clomid therapies at the end of cycle. What about strength? I have gained enormous strength from my last cycle, especially in bench press (over 200%) and I'm wondering if I will loose most of it now that my cycle is coming to an end...?
what are you taking? thats a key factor, what dose, how long, etc...i usualy run cycles 10-12 weeks, sust, dbol, etc...stuff for mass. usually lose about 40% of my strength gains, and hardly any size, maybe 20-30%? my diet isn't super strict, nor is my training. clomid for 2 weeks, and i eat tribulis like candy. it is inevitable unless you have some wonder drug to counteract cortisol, i.e. test, lol. but no cortisol and estrogen will be the dominating hormones in you after a cycle, cortisol will tell your muscles to release aminos and estrogen will tell your body to store fat. =P

You lose 40% of your strength gains? Bro, you must be doing something wrong.
Than what is the method to do it right? I.e. to keep most fo the strength?
depends what u take but if you do it right, you shouldnt lose 40% stregth gains. you shouldnt lose 30% size either but you will lose size if you are taking a steroid that makes you hold alot of water... then again depends ... what are you taking?
Yeah you'll prbably lose some strength but it is a very personally thing. Just keep training hard and heavy. Lower the volume and get more rest and keep eating lots.
:scratch: 200%? What was your original bench and what is it now? What did you take and what are your stats?Quote:

Stats: 5'4'', 12-14 % bf, 175lbs.
