    Rapid Strength loss on PCT!?

    Ok I finished up a 18 week cycle of Test-E and Dbol and started my first day of PCT today after taking a week off from the gym to rest up before PCT.I went into the gym to do Bench today and instead of getting 3x290 I got 1x290!! WTF!?!? I expected I *might* lose some strength during PCT but not this much and on the first day!? Is this *normal* guys!? it's not diet as I have been eating upwards of 6000+ kcals a day 500g protien etc.etc

    it's probably from the week off...a lotta times when you take a week off, the first week back your a little weaker, then the following week your back to normal...doberman, are you part of another board?

    But dont confuse the strength loss with loss of muscle in most instances after that week off your larger... but what occurs is called CNS detraining your body is willing your mind just has to be ready...

    PCT

    Clomid Days 1-28 50mg
    Liquidex Day 14-28 0.5mg

    Dont think the strength loss is from taking a week off, I take weeks off all the time and or deload and I might lose a bit of strength but not this much.

    man 2 reps? I wouldnt worry about 2 reps.

    I get much worse than that most of the time. As said above, I'd focus more of loss of size (not water retention) rather than loss of strength.

    I tend to lose some strength I gained, but try to hold on to as much as size as possible..

    I dont give a damm about size, Im a powerlifter and yes your 3RM becoming your 1RM means -22lbs for my 1RM thats a BIG drop!!! it's not just 2 reps.

    hmmm, all I can say is that you probably just had a bad day at the gym... it happens to everybody I guess. Maybe not enough sleep, or a number of other factors could come into play....see how you fare next week

    cheers

    My lifting seemed to suffer also after my 1st cycle, and pct.

    I found mixing some German Pure Creatine 5g along with some L-Glutamine powder 5g

    with your protein before and after workout worked wonders.

    This combo worked for me, after a 2nd cycle / 12 week test e and 4 weeks D-bol cycle,
    I never loss any strenght, and felt like i could lift a bus every time.
    but thats me.
    Peace Out.
