is it possible to gain naturally again when in between cycles?

**AlphaMaleDawg** · 09-30-2009, 06:42 PM

Just wondering if when I finish my first test-e only cycle, if I will be able to gain muscle naturally until my second cycle? I know I will likely lose some water post cycle but would I be able to actually gain more muscle until my next cycle as long as I train hard and keep eating big? btw I turn 24 next week

Stats?

i would say that as long as your not already past your genetic limit then yes, its just going to take longer to make the gains. also you will have to be more careful about overtraining

This all depends on diet, rest. If you do not have those things dialed in you will loose anything gained on cycle!

true, diet is the most important thing

before this cycle, i was 5'9.5 170lbs with barely any bodyfat. my abs were shredded. ive put on some bf/water during cycle so far (middle of week 8) so we will see how it ends up.

I'm thinking it could be possible once my natural test levels come back after pct?

this is a terrible question, if your at your genetic max, then no you cant gain between cycles....if your not at your genetic max, then why are you cycling? even if your not at your genetic max i would beleive the best you can hope for is to keep what you gained

I hear quite a bit of talk about "genetic limit". I think the vast majority never even come near reaching their genetic limit. I see people posting on how they have been training for 3-5 years and have hit their genetic limit. It's called a plateau or sticking point and can usually be overcome with smarter training and diet.

the thing is, how can someone truly know they are at their genetic potential? lets be serious here, most of us probably started cycling before we hit our genetic limit, whether we knew we maxed out or not.

agreed with the last 2 posts

agreed genetic max is a very general term

There is a thing called a girth test i think a doctor can give you and based on height, wrist, ankle, hips, (mostly bones) they can estimate how big you would naturally grow or something like that.
