How long does it take before you start losing gains?

in a test-e only cycle (or any cycle really), how long after your last shot is it still working for? Like when does your body start to slowly lose gains (if any)? I know with proper pct, it can be minimized as much as possible but usually you're gonna lose something

About Two weeks after your last shot you test levels will no longer be elevated. Soon after your body will go into a catabolic state and your gains will diminish. The sooner you can restore your testosterone levels the less this will happen.

The test is completely out of your system after about 6-10 weeks depending on your dose
on a 500mg a wee shot you would have something like this going on last injection total test in your system lets say 700 after 7 days 350mg, after 14 days 175mg, after 21days 87.5mg, after 28days 43.75mg , After 35days 21.65mg , after 42 days 10.8mg etc etc.. this is just a rough estimate. so basically after you should not see any loss of gains for quite a few weeks after your last shot! Remember this is probably not even a really close reference but it does kind of show the compound is still there for a few weeks and should heklp sustain gains along with your PCT! If you do your PCT, Diet and training correctly, the losses sustained on simple singkle or 2 compound cycles done only 1-2 X a year should be very minimal! of course you are with no doubt going to always lose a minimum of 10-20% of what you gained, Most will say that keeping 75% of your total gained in a 12 week cycle is not a problem! This is 75% of Lean Muscle though, Not total weight which includes water weight from the substance.
