Strength going up way after cycle?

[< <Samson> >]

Just interesting, I think. My strength seems to have gone up a bit since I lost damn near 25% of my body weight(damn near all of it being water and fat).

Today I was pushing 95 dumbells on the incline bench. This is a whole 10 pounds per arm better than I did while on cycle.

I didn't even do squats while on cycle(I know, I know But, now I just hit 245x6 today which is damn good compared to what I have done back when I did do them.

Am I just imagining shit, or is this possible?

I am still on a damn sever caloric deficit also running at ketosis carb levels at times. But, I feel damn good and strong most of the time.

Never heard of strength after cycle, you typically lose some physical gains an most of your strength but if your gaining strength... bravo

Not entirely true. How much you sustain post cycle is largely determined by nutrition. Guys who report losing all/nearly all strengths and gains simply have not spent the time developing and committing to a winning nutrition plan.

You are what you eat....or don't eat!

My diet is @ least 75% better than it was on cycle.

Hence the reason for success and sustaining gains as I suspected. Awesome work!

Shit, now I wonder how much more of a successful cycle I could of had if I had my diet and training nailed.

A lot more successful that the Michelin Man cycle you did.

Good job on the diet and post workouts Samson!
