    Strength increase AFTER cycle?

    So I just finished about 11 weeks of a test e / tren a cycle.
    Started my PCT of 40mgs Nolva and 40mgs Aromasin daily this past Monday after waiting a full 2 weeks for the test to clear and about 5 days for the tren to clear.
    I've been strong as **** all week! Like stronger than I was ON my cycle!
    Every lift is up by a couple reps and my workouts are really really good.

    Now I'm not complaining, but I just think this is strange.
    I expected the opposite.

    Anyone ever experience this?

    Sadly, you'll crash. Its inveitable, just give it time.

    I always have my biggest strength gains right before the hormones finally start clearing out. Its strange, and very dissapointing. Sorry if I bummed you out, lol

    I usually gain strength after a cutting cycle, but that is probably due to the calorie increase.

    I disagree, after a cycle ive kept most my gains both strenght and muscle. Sure ive lost a little, but i feel by keeping your diet and training program in check you should keep most of your gains.

    That depends a lot on how far beyond you are from your natural potencial.

    How far above you natural weight do you think you can keep fairly comfortably? or are use always goign to drop back down your genetic max?

    Also if you were inside your genetic max would you be alot more likely to keep all your gains?

    I think you are making the case on why you wait 2 weeks after acycle to start PCT. The hormone is still very strong in your system.
