    Retained gains

    Hi guys. Stopped my cycle almost 4 weeks ago and almost 2 weeks on PCT, now, I have lost plus, minus 10% of my gains. (Test C only) Is that about on par or will I still loose a bit. I am very happy with only 10% though.

    How much did you gain to begin with?

    I've heard that 10%-15% of test gains are lost due to water retention and simply being off the juice. If you gained 20lbs, and only lost 10%, I would be quite content. Make sure you stick with your pct and eat properly and you should maintain the majority.

    Dang bro, I'd be stoked about losing only a couple pounds. Keep stuffing in the food.

    No nolva during the cycle. Was told to wait for the sh*t to happen.

    Keep the calories up and eat clean, also stay dedicated and you should keep the majority of your gains

    You could also add some creatine when doing PCT

    Nolva should be run at 20mg/ED for the duration of PCT

    Why creatine? Doesn't it cause water in the muscle. It sounds like a decent idea I just want to know why?

    It does cause slight water retention yes

    It will help retain strength/weight gain after a cycle

    If the Test C caused water the Deca will also cause water, both Test/Deca may cause more than Test C on its own
