Does this make any sense? My scewed logic!

Ok this may seem like a really stupid question but it goes against everthing i have learned and i want to see if anyone else has experienced this.

So im 5 weeks in and not making the gains i expect and wondering whats wrong. Than i remeber last year when i ran out of cell tech on cycle i started exploding so i experimented and stopped the cell tech. Within a week i lost 4 lbs of water than gained 6 lbs back right away. My weight is starting to increase the right way now and my strengh is really going up. I finally feel like the shits really working.

Now i know there no need for creatine on cycle but i really only use it for the 75gs of dextrose. Besides the PWO shake my diet is still in check.. I have tried to justify why this might me and this is my best explaination....dont laugh...

im thinking because the sugar replenishes glycogen so quickly, maybe it prevents breakdown, which is great off cycle when u cant recover but when on it does not allow the anti-catabolic effects of the steroids to take place...does that make any sense? has anyone else had this expeience? have the timing of the gains last year and this year been a coincidence?

thanks for your help...sorry about such a dumb question but i really am trying to maximize my gains.

Hah.

Dextrose = 2 cents per serving
Cell Tech = 1 dollar / scoop !

If you want just the dextrose, then buy just dextrose! You could be buying more gear-tech instead.

well i work in a supplement store and to be honest i use the generic brand creatine dextrose and i get it for free...

but i feel bad for all the customers who come in and buy cell tech for 75bucks for 5lbs...sometimes if i really like them ill tell them to go get something with dextrose from the super market and buy the monohydrate.

but wut is up with these rapid gains after the cessation of the PWO dextrose????

[zaneisgreat]

I guess that explains things haha.

About the rapid gains - hmm i would have no idea. Maybe someone else here can uncover the science behind this because i cant understand how you had these significant gains come out of almost nowhere.

I see no logic behind it, just coincidence.

~SC~

[juicedOUTbrain]

yea, i have just come to that conclusion aswell...thanks zane and swole, sorry for wasting your time...i thought maybe i had something...

do you think i should continue the dextrose than. There is absolutly no chance in hell is preventing gains correct?

swole exactly how much dextrose do you take in PWO while bulking and what is your general weight? thanks man

[zaneisgreat]

yes, keep taking dextrose. Not only are there countless people who swear by it but there is also enough documented evidence that supports its use pre/post workout.
